I am surprised that Few has been permitted to assemble so much white talent on one squad. Perhaps it is a matter of his never having a team in the final four, or winning a national championship, but he is liable to be called out by the media at any time.

How did the trope of describing black athletes as having "tremendous upside" ever gain currency? While there are certainly many great black athletes, the negro typically matures earlier than the white, and therefore any random late teen early 20s white athlete will have a lot more "upside" than...

I do believe that Gonzaga and Wisconsin are better teams than ND. Still not convinced that UK is invincible.

This is just an impression, but it just seems like through the regular season, one is faced with a surfeit of interchangeable all-black teams, but when you get deep in the tournament, you see a disproportionate number of teams with white contributors.

The drumbeat of concern over chronic traumatic encephalopathy is becoming difficult to ignore (not that one should willfully ignore it), and some commentators even question whether the game will survive in its current form. This leads one to consider possible reforms with a view to reducing...

Any opinions on whether Pangos is NBA material? I know that the usual experts have their doubts, but I think he's a great PG.

To be fair, Karnowski looked completely gassed in the final minutes. To my admittedly non-expert eyes, Sabonis looked like the better player.

A shot of cultural Marxism with my Coke, please. Many of these commercials are insufferable, with the common elements of the pretty white females catering to the wise and manly Negro to a jungle beat, but the one for Coke is the worst, where the white waitress looks longingly at the implicitly...

By way of background, Cincinnati's coach, Mick Cronin, is a 100% caste man. In seven seasons, IIRC, he's has no white scholarship players on the roster, a single Pole excepted. Like typical black players, they have no shooting ability, are terrible FT shooters, and play an all-around "affletic"...

One a team goes all-black, it's hard to sign white players, even if a coach occasionally recruits them. Not many white kids want to be the only white man on a team....

Thanks for the great links. I was stunned that Thompson ever had a white player; I don't remember one. Ever.

Rotnei Clarke making his old coach at Arkansas look like a moron...

Actually, I was impressed by CSU. Louisville was just too good...probably this year's best team. But CSU's whites showed enough that one searches for an innocent explanation of how they were passed up by "name," i.e., black, programs.

There was a black professor of mathematics at my university who seemed to be exceptionally intelligent, so such a thing is possible, though exceedingly rare. It must be quite lonely to have an intellect so far above others of one's own kind that it is as if they are a different species. H.L...

Does anyone else see an agenda behind the all-black studio team? Can't they find even one retired white player to put out there? Or will the cultural Marxists settle for nothing less than the complete extirpation of whites from the game, not only as players, but also as coaches, announcers...

I don't follow things too closely, either, but I can't remember JT ever having a white player, not even riding the end of the bench. It seems like JTIII usually has a white guy or two, even if none has started except Lubick. What does Lubick's Jewishness have to do with it? Do you really...

My understanding is that Ivy League schools, like those in DIII, can give financial aid up to 100% of a student's calculated need, said financial aid consisting of grants, work-study & loans. For an athlete from a poor family, who is wanted by the institution, that can be a full ride, or very...

Best teams play whites? Agree or disagree: Teams in the Final 4 and NCG, year in and year out, tend to have more white players than the typical "major" NCAA squad. I say yes. What say you all?

I think JTIII is, unlike his dad, open-minded about recruiting/playing whites.

It's normal for mulattos to identify as black, but if she can pass for white, it makes no sense that she'd want to go black, unless that's just how she identifies.I wouldn't want to marry a girl I thought was white, only to find out later that she's an octoroon with identity issues. I wish the...

No proof, but it passes the smell test.

Tennis is sort of out of style now. In the 1970s we had a huge tennis boom, with lots of baby boomers participating at the club level, and introducing their kids to the sport. These "echo boomers" kept U.S. tennis strong through the 1990s, but now they're retired from competition. Tennis just...

But how do they get in? I thought that Vandy was the most selective school in the South, excepting Duke.

Steve Donahue won with white players at Cornell. I wonder if he's going to abandon that philosophy @ BC, since everybody knows ya gotta have affletes to win in the big time.

For several years, I've noticed that all-black teams get all the hype, all season long, only to fold in the tournament to integrated teams. As for Howard, I'd like to know which "name" programs recruited him, if any. Or did all the coaches within an hour or two of his home in Connersville...
