    Washington Wizards Season Thread - Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here

    Three wins on the bounce, a very possible fourth tonight, and the Wiz staying in DC?! This is the height of my Zards fandom so far :lol: I like Tyus but it’s incredible how much better we are defensively without him and Poole out there together.

    I don’t think NIL is the reason most people enter the portal, though it definitely can play a role in where they end up. Transfers no longer having to sit a year is the real sea change for portal purposes. Now P5 schools can go get experienced, proven college guys to fill out a roster rather...

    ***WOMEN'S HOOPS THREAD*** Congrats, LSU! Congrats, LAS VEGAS ACES!

    The five mins of OT were arguably the best hoops we’ve seen in either tourney so far. Huge shots back and forth. Iriafen was amazing all game long and yet ISU was a layup away from the win in regular time.

    The latest game is in Boston, not even LA. Tournament scheduling doesn’t make sense. I’m trying to go to bed out here on the east coast smh.

    If you were to get a Mark, definitely get one on bracelet. It’s fantastic, one of the best bracelets on any watch rn. I just like tossing it on a leather strap for the weekend to make it a bit more casual. I buy generic third party straps. Have a few from Fluco that I really like. For IWCs...

    I may be biased but I love the Mark XX. My wrist is actually a bit smaller than yours (~6.7”) and it fits well. The lugs perfectly contour on my wrist. Go back a page or two and I posted a few pics of you want to get an idea of what it looks like on wrist, and on multiple kinds of straps. I’m...

    I've seen both in person, and it's an awesome watch. IWC's blue is really dynamic and needs to be seen in person. But again, I'd try them on. While I love IWC's chrono layout, it's a big watch. If you're looking for a daily, you may want to look at something slightly smaller and slimmer.

    I’m a sucker for a Snoopy, so I’m kind’ve into this. Though for the price, I’d rather grab the Seiko SRPK27

    Guess they should’ve scheduled a better non-conference huh. A home loss to Missouri (0-18 in the SEC) is nasty work. Really challenged themselves with Oregon State (last in the Pac 12) and West Virginia (last in the Big 12) too. UVA showed last night they had no business in the tournament...

    Tags are generally fine, though their best stuff is the $6-7k glassbox chronographs. I’m personally a big fan of Longines. Great stuff for $2-4k, particularly the Spirit, Zulu Time, and Flagship Heritage models. There’s definitely other good stuff in the $1-3k range, like Oris and even a...

    Given these constraints, I think a Black Bay 58 is gonna be your best bet. Like rfx said though, go find an AD and try some on to see what you like on the wrist. Rolex is probably the only one that will retain its retail value, but not quite as accessible. And if you’re really buying to...

    The irony there is I have Michigan State knocking out UNC :lol: But fair enough. Looking forward to these debates being settled on the court this week!

    Again, sure it’s fine ISU didn’t get a #1 over UNC but to then be the #8 overall? And why is the NCAA bothering with NET ratings if they’re not even going to use them? (See Indiana State - the highest net rating to not make the tournament. Probably would’ve been better off not to play Alabama...

    SDSU, FAU, Gonzaga all in the Elite 8 last year out of mid conferences. K State and Texas in from the Big 12. Meanwhile Kansas beat Duke, Wisconsin, Indiana, NC State, etc during the non-conference last year but goes down in the second round. Were they just not good? Does that make the Big 12...

    :lol: Sure, if you’re playing Idaho States all year but to say that playing 12+ games against ranked teams leaves a team “untested” is stupid. The committee agrees that playing Idaho State is irrelevant and that’s why Eastern Washington isn’t getting an at large bid. But this whole “early...

    What does ‘historically’ mean lol? Kansas and Baylor won two of the last three national championships. Texas Tech was in the championship game in 2019. Last year, Big 12 went 9-7 in the tourney. ACC went 7-5. In 2022, Big 12 was 13-5. In 2021, 11-6. It’s not like the Big 12 has ‘historically’...

    Look, I don’t have an issue with UNC as a 1 seed. Committee did us all a disfavor but not lining up ISU as the 2 seed in their bracket and all of this could be put to rest on the court. That’s all I’m really saying here.

    It’s almost as if Big 12 non-conference is going to look bad when they play other power 5 teams that turn out mid, but those other teams get the boost of playing an actually good team… Why don’t we post the strength of schedule for in-conference games? Especially when those account for 60% of...

    You can factor in early season games, absolutely, but to rely on those more heavily than the most recent games is silly. The CFP does it (Florida State!) so idk the selection committee here is so weird about it. Even if ISU doesn’t get the 1 seed, putting them as the 8th overall seed is...

    ISU just 30-balled the #1 ranked team in the country and the committee talking about games over 4 months ago. Stupid imo. Also did UCONN dirty by deeming them #1 overall and then giving them two of the other Final Four teams from last year, plus the Big 12 tourney champ, Big 10 tourney champ...
