@BostonGangUp7 @CatsBy1Million @heysportsfan69 @BryanDFischer All 3 top 10 consistently. Really the only 3 that are.

@CoreyBbrown @CatsBy1Million @heysportsfan69 @BryanDFischer Stanford and MIT are in their own league in terms of non-Ivy lol

Down 103-67 to Illinois, Penn's band is chanting: "That's okay, that's okay, you're going to work for us someday."

@CatsBy1Million @heysportsfan69 @BryanDFischer It’s better than Vandy. In the same tier as Stanford. Consistently a top 10 school nationally.

@CoreyBbrown @heysportsfan69 @BryanDFischer Lmao Duke is not the best non ivy. It’d be maybe like Tier 2. It’s not a better school than say a Stanford or Vanderbilt

@GrampaPappy123 @mallorymicky34 @GrahamCoffeyDC Get rid of the guy they quit on. That’s how.

@mallorymicky34 @GrahamCoffeyDC They clearly did. So…why? And how does it get fixed?

UGA coach Mike White… It’s not acceptable, the effort. We’re in the NCAA Tournament. These kids have been preparing for this, some more than others, excited about this, their entire lives. I remember watching the NCAA Tournament when I was 5, 6, 7 years old, and I’m blessed enough to coach a team in it, and to jog back in transition defense is unacceptable. It is sickening.

@DCSportsFan11 @Cole30599912644 @heysportsfan69 @BryanDFischer 7th in the latest rankings. Stanford and MIT are up there. Point remains. usnews.com/best-colleges/…

@Cole30599912644 @CoreyBbrown @heysportsfan69 @BryanDFischer MIT, Stanford, Notre Dame are all better just off the top of my head

@heysportsfan69 @BryanDFischer You mean the same Duke that is basically the best non Ivy League school in the country? Lol get where you’re going but you can’t pick Duke

@BryanDFischer You chant this against Arizona or duke. Not one of the best engineering schools in the country and overall one of the best state schools out there. The Penn cheerleaders said all it had to about talent at the university

@GrahamCoffeyDC For a program that struggles to make the dance in the first place, showing up and not caring about the game is a perfect example of when you need to clear out the locker room, including the head of the snake.

Mike White on Smurf Millender and Jeremiah Wilkinson saying they felt like there was a lack of effort in the 104-77 loss to Saint Louis… “I can’t dodge that. We played with less effort than we did in any game this season, and it’s not even close. Not even close. That last group or two in the final five or six minutes mustered up some turnovers, some stops, shared it a little bit, fell into some open threes, made some, missed some, got a couple offensive rebounds, but they were quicker to the basketball for 40 minutes. I’ll have to go back and reevaluate everything we did. Did we go too hard in practice? Did we go too long? We went twice today, we went twice yesterday. They played more fresh for sure, so I will always look in the mirror first with our preparation. But our guys were juiced before the game I can tell you that. With their body language and what they were vocalizing to us and to each other. I think that these things happen more often in the NCAA Tournament than they do in the regular season, they just do. Heck we were more resilient and played harder through negative plays on the road in the SEC in front of 23,000 booing us, but I agree with some of the things Jeremiah said. We didn’t play very hard when we got off to a really tough start and not making shots and getting beat down the court. We had some effort plays early, which we’ve seen all year. Our defensive rebounding numbers are atrocious. They’re atrocious. They have been all year. We’ve been able to overcome it by better offense at times and turning you over, but they got second possessions early off just simple missed block outs. Credit these guys, they’re wings, their attention to detail with blocking out, with screening for one another, all those little things that we’re just trying to get better at everyday, you wish we would’ve done it better down the stretch, in this one and in the SEC Tournament, but when you find yourselves down 6, 8, double-figure points early and the stage is big and emotionally you were really ramped up before the game and it’s not going well for you, emotions can get the best of you. I’ve been there before as a player, and you try to help these guys just stay in the moment, and be where your feet are, and next play mentality, just think. ‘I know we’re down 8 and I just missed a shot, what is my next play?’ Turn around and sprint back. Who am I matched up with, jump to the ball, contest a shot… We looked, when we got down 12 points our body language was ‘oh my gosh what just happened?’ which is unlike this team. This team has been, you guys know it, this team has been so resilient. We went in and watched some plays at halftime that I’ve never seen this team do. That I’ve never seen us do, not them, us. With point blank layups at the rim, with guys looking and not even jumping and trying to contest a shot. Just the lack of effort was really disappointing. I haven’t experienced something like that in a long, long time. I don’t remember the last time. And I certainly haven’t seen this team play like that with that lack of effort defensively and on the glass, but at times we played really hard with the ball in our hands, and that’s not the right recipe as we know. They were way more connected than us. We practiced better yesterday than we played today, but credit Saint Louis. I told Josh (Schertz) that Dusty (May) may try to call me and get some tips, but he may not, because I’m not sure what we did really well, you know, to help Michigan, but we wish Saint Louis the best and we would’ve liked to advance of course but just obviously didn’t play anywhere near where we needed to play.”

@ugabarstool Hopefully the streak of making the tourney because they need to reset the entire program. They’re nowhere remotely close to where they should be.

@BIODAWGSPORTBOI Best thing that could happen for the program. Clear the whole roster and coaching staff. We had a player at halftime admit they don’t care about the game. I hope St. Louis scores 140

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say this is the worst power 5 performance in ncaa tournament history

@claybwells10 Last baseline out of pounds play was a corner handoff from the big to the passer immediately into 10 seconds of ISO ball and a 2 point shot with his foot on the line. The coaching is SO bad.

@CoreyBbrown Agreed. He shouldn’t be on the plane ride home

Idk man. I’m not entirely blaming Mike, but what is the other common denominator when you go down 20 early in every postseason game you play

@DawgNationDaily When you have one of the worst run programs in the country you can. Sitting in one of the most talented states and can’t get top recruits and can’t win games vs good teams. Embarrassing all around. Mike white needs to be fired.

I have pretty meager expectations, but you can’t be down 30 to Saint Louis.

@Kconnorriley This program has to be the most consistent underperforming program in the country given the circumstance. They have a hub of NBA players in their back yard and can’t produce a top level program out of it. Just an embarrassment all around.

Second half starts and Saint Louis opens on an 8-0 run. Lead is up to 23.

@AnthonyDasher1 Piss poor coaching so far on our side. Goggles on the other team has his concrete on his feet and we’ve yet to run 1 singular high pick and roll with him in it. Allowing him to plant in the paint on defense is never going to work. Should be having a field day with the guards.

Timeout: Saint Louis 39, Georgia 22.....3:55.

@StephNoh @HOGS4DWIN It will forever be the biggest lie in sports that college basketball players play harder on defense than NBA guys. NBA guys are just good on offense and college guys are not. Good defense in college is bad defense in the league. Guys make tough shots consistently

@HOGS4DWIN Need more examples? I got a lot of em. x.com/StephNoh/statu…

I heard that Darius Acuff Jr. might be the worst defender in the NBA next year. Watched his defense during the SEC Championship to see if people were exaggerating. It's pretty rough.

@TysBurnerAcc @rain3445 @heimkun That’s why I only mentioned his offense. Zach is slightly above average on defense and his rebounding has improved which helps the team. With that, he’s legit probably one of the bottom 10 worst players in the league on offense, especially in a halfcourt setting.

@CoreyBbrown @rain3445 @heimkun Very incorrect, zacc def showed what he can do with 36 and 38 pt games. He’s way better defensively this year. He’s lacking on offense but his rebounding and defense doesn’t go unnoticed

Nate McMillan had him sitting behind Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot and John Collins

@rain3445 @heimkun The difference is Jalen always showed flashes when he did get minutes. Zach has basically nothing to give the team offensively and his pre draft weaknesses are glaring.

@heimkun Nate was smart in doing that. If the Hawks did the same with Zach he would be on a much better path. Some guys aren’t try to play at 19 and that’s ok. It’s not ok to crush there confidence which we are witnessing with Zach.

@MSingg84501 @AYO6664 @JasonWalkerNBA 8 rebounds in 19 minutes last game and 9 rebounds in 19 minutes the game before. Been a tremendous help there.

@CoreyBbrown @AYO6664 @JasonWalkerNBA Not in the last two games.

Kuminga stands out as the odd man out here

@MSingg84501 @AYO6664 @JasonWalkerNBA He’s been pretty active defensively for the hawks. The hawks are also number 1 in the league in defensive rebounding rate in the games he’s played. His size and athleticism have been massive for a team that struggled with that all year.

@CoreyBbrown @AYO6664 @JasonWalkerNBA no he has not, not the last two games. he's not a good defender either.

@MSingg84501 @AYO6664 @JasonWalkerNBA And he’s still very playable while he figures that out. He’s giving the hawks a ton outside of just being a scorer

@AYO6664 @JasonWalkerNBA @CoreyBbrown lol these are all the exact same complaints we had.
