Re: Games of Interest - 2023-2024 MBB
I’m confused about why PC fans are coming to our message board today. It’s a massive day for their program as they may or may not make the tournament, and you want to come here to talk shit about Archie? Then again, most of their fanbase is like this, so I’m not surprised.

Re: Who is Archie Miller?
Lol He's in his first year playing college basketball and he averages 16.5 points 10.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per 40 minutes That's 3rd on the team in pts ( more than Fuchs) and he's only averaging 1.3 less rebounds per game than Fuchs. That's not a bad statline for a 6'11 rookie in the A-10 with ...
