    Guess I missed the whole thing. What does making fun of PUke have to do with Thanksgiving?

    Who the f doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving? Really is a commentary on where this screwed up country is that this kind of observation is made. SMH

    Mitch Henderson used to practically give himself an aneurysm yelling at Lee for ball watching on D and generally not valuing the basketball/playing smart. He was a streaky shooter at best and not good around the rim. He got by a lot of the time because the competition had inferior athleticism but it was clear to me he'd struggle at a higher level of competition. Was never a strong kid. Get the sense Golden was kind of desperate for backcourt talent when he picked Lee up late in the cycle and basically played a lotto ticket. Of all high major players who have played at least 60% of their team's minutes, of which there are 268, Lee is 264 on Torvik's points above replacement player metric. Of that player pool, trimming down to those who have attempted at least 15 shots at the rim, Lee is 200th out of 204 at 40% (6/15). Terrible indeed. Basically the same exact kind of scouting miss as Mahaney at UConn last year. We'll see how UF can manage!

    Boogie Fland is solid-ish. As you said; Lee is terrible. Klavzar is much improved. UF doesn’t really have a fourth guard. UF has major guard problems and there’s no real options to solve the problems.

    I hope cig has some fun with that. Something subtle. “It’s great see these guys go 1-0 for the 12th game in row. Something for the fans to celebrate. For those that celebrate.”

    (2027) - C Isaiah Hill

    At the Kevin Brown Memorial in Illinois, Pike beaten in OT 68-65 by Wisconsin Lutheran which features another member of the Knueppel family. Hill 4p, 6r, 1s, fb, 2t. Wasn't a particularly impressive 2 games for Hill looking strictly at the box score. No idea if he was plagued by foul trouble or perhaps battling an injury. Teammates Jahari Miller 21p, 6r, 4s and Landon Lampley 21p, 6r, 3a; 1s, 2b, 1t.

    Xaivian Lee is borderline unplayable. Could see that coming from a mile away watching him at Princeton. Hope for his sake he got that degree before transferring. Princeton had a really good couple of years recently but almost everyone on those rosters are gone now. Caden Pierce, the 2023-2024 Ivy player of the year (who has a brother on the Colts IIRC) took this year off to get his Princeton degree and then hit the portal for next season. That's a guy who I could see translating to the P5 level. He's originally from Illinois. No idea if there'd be mutual interest but I think he'd fit the bill culture wise and be a hell of a rebounder / smart playmaker. Might be Duke bound.

    I was shocked when they showed him in the suite coming from a commercial and he was doing the halftime. He had to do 7 Nation for the casuals but I was pleased nonetheless. P.S. It was just Jack, Meg wasn't drumming.

    Tell you what: The Lions/Packers Thanksgiving Day game halftime show is a live performance by the White Stripes with Eminem kicking in for one number and absolutely nothing pre-recorded. it was pretty freaking epic.

    And back in the "glory" days the Great Alaskan Shoot-out wasn't televised. Things have come a long ways since pot smoking was frowned upon in Anchorage...

    RIP Coach Knight

    I love the way they cut it from him picking up the chair to Knight actually doing it.

    That’s where scheme comes in. Our actions are designed to free players in certain areas and to draw the defense to certain areas. In very basic terms, we screen, space, and move to open spots behind the three point line, and then flash bigs or drive guards all the way to the rim once the defense gets far extended. You are a guy that appreciates RMK: He had a motion offense that freed up shooters all over the court; that is, until the 1987 addition of the three point line and Alford. At that point, his motion offense turned into a scheme to free up Alford in deep space. That’s what he used for Jay Edwards and Evans too. Problem is, RMK never really had a shooter of that caliber after those three.
