@JackJTurell Let’s do it

[Zach Ungar @simplezach]

@BarstoolHubbs In years past they never win that game

[Zach Ungar @simplezach]

That’s one way to end a losing streak

[Zach Ungar @simplezach]

@MaxMannis Bird should never pitch again for the Yankees

This team was perfect.

This is not about basketball. This is about greatness.

Far from perfect in practice and far from perfect in games - but this team was perfect in all the ways that actually mattered. The fact that they were pretty damn good on the court too? Awesome, but secondary. Yes, in their minds too.

This core group spent almost three of their four years with what many would consider a burden, but what they considered a privilege. This group played more than basketball. They represented a people and a nation under attack. And they did that perfectly. They also set the stage for this program as it moves into the future – on and off the court. They raised our level in ways that we wish nobody ever has to do again.

I always love to talk about how much I learn each year from the teams I have the privilege to coach and work with. These last few years have changed many of our lives – for sure mine. To watch the resiliency, confidence and courage these student-athletes exemplified was awe-inspiring. Different backgrounds, different observance levels, different beliefs – one brotherhood.

In all my years, I don’t know that I have had a group of guys this invested in each other and their people. The shift of our focus as a program from sport to humanity somehow made us better at basketball too. These guys defined playing for a purpose. The difference is the purpose was bigger than just the sport itself.

You want to win? Everyone does.
You work hard? Everyone works hard.

What separates you on and off the court is your “why”. We found our program “why” thanks to this special group, and we will never forget it.

Thanks @maxzakheim, Zevi, Roy, Dothan, Hillel, Tom, @arishklyar12, Or - for teaching me how to lead with confidence and perspective. Our future success will be yours as well.

43 points for Zevi in his final college game. Incredible.

I’ve loved watching you play basketball, Zevi. More importantly I’m amazed at the man you are. You give me hope the world can and will be better.

Always your fan…bigger than basketball.

@BQuillmanQcast 109 is the highest by far.

[Bob Quillman @BQuillmanQcast]

It’s great to have Yeshiva in the Sweet 16 for 3 reasons:

1) Always happy for @elliotsteinmetz and what he accomplishes at YU.

2) I have many YU fan friends who’ve been extremely good to me.

3) More days of crazy #d3hottakes from the uniformed/pure homer side of YU nation. In an X world that can be complicated, it’s nice for me to have some layups.
