Demo

You nodded off at the end of, what, a 14hr game day!?!? Your lack of commitment sickens me.

Allen, not close for me.

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/wednesday-s-leftovers-kentucky-s-next-move-unc-more Had to post this for the awesome, not to be missed, IU insight. Wait, on 2nd thought, no, it says absolutely nothing and I don’t get why he bothered to answer the question unless he’s paid by the word.

Yup, and it definitely cuts both ways. Saw Aminu Mohammed twice last year against a couple of small town schools and those kids looked at him like he was an alien. Gotta confess: I get a major kick out of watching really great kids against kids who.....aren’t.

So funny that you post this. I saw Layton’s numbers last year and he’s maybe 90 minutes from me. Thought I might check him out if I was bored enough. Asked a friend who knows MO hoops better than I do if I should and he started laughing and said, “yeah he’s like 5 ft nothin’ and his team looks like a gym class.”

Starting to feel like PG might be in his future. Handle would have to tighten up and the jumper will need to get more consistent either way. But the kid really sees the floor and processes so quickly. Plus his length and instincts defending smaller PG’s would make him a tough matchup. He flat smothered Jalen Blackmon. Be curious to watch his development.

Don’t agree with you this time sir. I don’t think he’s been good at all. And Tech is so small that Archie could have created post matchups through TJD while also creating more space to drive by playing smaller.

Why is Durham not in the game right now?

I really don’t get what Archie’s doing with Brunk tonight. He’s been lousy all night and he doesn’t have a defensive matchup. He’s been beaten at least 3 times by the same slip action. He’s not getting it done in the post. This game has screamed small lineup all night. Really don’t get it.

One of my favorite Archieisms is when he talks about how much he wants to push pace. I want to just grab him and say, "dude, it's ok to be Dick Bennett in the body of a 40yr old man. but just stop saying you want to run. You don't."

5 yards overthrown. Uncatchable

How in God’s name does an official miss something that obvious?

Scott is one strong dude

Grounding

Burgess didn’t take away anything. Way too easy.

Well, doesn’t get much better than that

File this one away for future reference: Geronimo and St Paul play at Terrance Clarke/Matt Cross and Brewster Academy on 1/17. The game will be streamed on the Brewster website.

Have watched them 3 times and Nova is soft as Charmin in the paint. If Miss St would play through the post they would just bludgeon them. My hot take for the day: I would take IU over either of these teams. IU’s style of play is a terrible matchup for Nova and Miss St is too undisciplined to exploit their matchup advantages. I can’t figure out what they’re trying to get done.

If Chris Lykes had been born 30 yrs earlier he would have been one of those absolute playground legends with the great nickname that everyone claims they’d played against somewhere and he’d just busted them.

Brissett is a replacement level QB. He is exactly good enough to require an upgrade.

Yeah, really good. Explosive kid, better than Dosunmu. He and Curbelo will be fun to watch.

I can count on 1 hand the number of IU games I’ve missed watching in real time when I had a clear shot, but tonight I am wandering over to Lindenwood University to watch Vijay Blackmon and the Lions play Bellarmine. Bellarmine played Louisville and Notre Dame to10pt games , so it might be a beating, but Lindenwood has a couple of kids, including one averaging almost 30. So gotta do it. So please make your descriptions tonight really vivid.

Sorry about losing Diarra and, assuming it doesn't happen, Garcia. Also really like Steward. Not really bothered by the others. I know a lot of folks nationally are high on Love. Sorry, but if UNC thinks they're getting anyone remotely comparable to Anthony, they are in for 1 rude freaking awakening.

Dude, I’m reading along and noting how reasonably you’re treating Brooks, and then you went full John Snow on his a**. Wow

Yes, but in all fairness, SOMEBODY has to be the most negative person you've ever met.
