Trying to be a Maccabee on Purim. Much love and respect to all the players, especially our family’s favorite.

@clipperfan770 @JackJTurell I played on the team with Eli. One of my favorites. He changed his body btw high school and college and had the most incredible defensive play I’ve ever seen. An awesome player, a high riser and an even better human. Not an all-timer for YU though.

Ive scoured the books, and opening up for Discussion Greatest YU players ever starting 5 G Samet G Poliner F Turell F Sheldon Rokach/Simcha Halpert C Leifer Cant pick one, Sheldon averaged 23 pt 21 reb, 2X, and had the all time scoring record from 64 to 2011.

@d3hoopsville @BQuillmanQcast It’s not his fault, we turned him into a yeshiva fan.

I wasn't taking a shot. Come on Bob. Chill. I was pointing out that they have had a lot of success, but getting to this point in the season hasn't come as regularly as they (or their fans) would expect. And a national title was a while ago, despite expectations they will be vying for one every year. NONE of that doesn't mean they don't have good players, do things well, etc. There are a LOT of schools without that success, but there are also a LOT of schools who don't have those expectations every year, either. Sorry if it isn't always painted green.

Two things: 1) Extremely bizarre comment by @d3hoopsville: "...even if the last championship, no disrespect, was a while back." IWU has a really successful program - regularly wins CCIW titles and goes deep in the NCAA tournament. Has good kids, does things the right way. Dave is taking a shot that the Titans have not won a national title since 1997. Why in the world would that fit here? Look at Ron Rose's face...sheesh. 2) Jackson Niego is a #whyd3 guy. IWU is lucky to have a bunch of guys like this every year.

@JackJTurell yossi gev is in. better and more success at YU than half your bench. all time leading scorer until turell and zevi

Bench for the all Time Team Irv Bader Ayal Hod Simcha Halpert Dave Kufeld Irwin Blumenreich Max Zakheim Lior Hod H.M. Daniel Aaron Yossi Gev Robert Rosenblum Marvin Herschkowitz Eli Hami Joey Eaves Happy to hear other takes. Love deep diving!!!

so much to be proud of!!!!! thanks for making us proud to be jewish and proud to be alum @YUathletics @elliotsteinmetz

all in all, the first half is exactly where we can strike from. leading by 7 since 16-2. do it again and we have OT

@RyanAlanScott @MacsLive we have to familiarize the world with jewish time. we call things for a time and then it has a +- ratio of 15 min

@MacsLive So only three guys were on time?

Atlanta here we come 👀🍭🎉

@BQuillmanQcast means the world to us. appreciate you and the D3 world

Just finished this on a flight home to Dallas. Incredible episode…certainly worth the time. #d3hoops

@JackJTurell jewish culture is all around you Jack but it originated in Israel

Can someone tell me where Jewish Culture is from?

March Madness for @YUathletics Macabees who are in the Sweet Sixteen of the @NCAADIII Basketball Tournament! With Coach @elliotsteinmetz @MacsLive #Yeshiva #CollegeBasketball #MarchMadness #NYC #BacktheMacs

@MacsLive is there a boot on the right leg?

NY->ATL

@DovieNeuburger @BQuillmanQcast i love this but i think Emory is not the darth vader of d3. its a nice upset. Maybe a Yosef becoming #2 in egypt. didn't see it coming, but he worked his way up

@BQuillmanQcast If you had to put what a Macs upset on Friday would be in terms we could all understand, would it be: 1. USA Hockey vs. Soviet Union 1980 2. Mighty Ducks vs. The Hawks (D1) 3. Tune squad vs. Monstars (space jam) Or 4. The 4 kings vs 5 kings (Genesis 14)

@BQuillmanQcast @RabbiAdamStarr best shidduch we ever made @BallHabatim

.@RabbiAdamStarr, IWU plays at Emory next season. Perhaps you'd join me at the game so we can watch #d3hoops and talk Rabbi stuff?

@JackJTurell lots of interesting seeding. looks like the regular season counted for more....unless you are flatbush

#6!?!? We went to the finals and gave a good half without one of our best players

@RyanAlanScott @ZeviFischer That’s an easy one for us

@ZeviFischer Prayer?

Folks, it's entirely possible Yeshiva beats Emory on Friday; it's just going to take the single greatest performance in the history of the program. #d3hoops

@RyanAlanScott @ZeviFischer How much bigger an upset is yeshiva beating Emory vs the Farmington win over Montclair

MBB Sweet 16 with Massey ratings: Upper Left: #17-Hood at #1-Trinity (CT) #9-Tufts at #13-Wesleyan Lower Left: #10-UW-La Crosse at #5-Mary Washington #8-Gustavus Adolphus at #4-Chicago Upper Right: #109-Yeshiva at #3-Emory #23-Endicott at #7-Illinois Wesleyan Lower Right: #12-WashU at #6-St. Thomas (TX) #15-Christopher Newport at #2-Randolph-Macon #d3hoops

@BQuillmanQcast The good news: backcourt is our strength and we’ve never lost a Sweet 16 game…or a 2nd rd game for that matter

You'll be facing the best backcourt in #d3hoops. And the best backcourt Yeshiva has ever played against. #d3hoops

@RyanAlanScott @BQuillmanQcast @d3datacast @AriLamm and I are coming out of retirement for a pod tonight. We’d love to have some folks who know their stuff join us as we talk % chance of a global pandemic stopping this game. DM or respond here if you can join us tonight

@YUMacsFanatic Betesh looked like spitting image of Hami . Was so crazy.

Great to see some notable Macs legends Oren, Zucker, and Leifer at the game. 3 Mensches, with the first two having major fingerprints on the now senior class success.

@coachjgriff1 @BQuillmanQcast @EmoryBasketball Eh just a 2000 pointer. No match for our 2500 guy

@BQuillmanQcast As someone who coached Ben Pearce in AAU during his HS days I can attest to Bob’s statement. He is very good & has had a historical career @EmoryBasketball.
