Yeah JBJ has been back several times now for games/practice/workouts. I know he plays internationally so it's probably harder for him, but he stays close to the program.
I watched him some at Missouri as well. Some games he looked great, some he looked very pedestrian. The Missouri boards seemed to say the same when he left. Consistency was a huge issue this year. I'm sure the coaching and o-line here didnt help.
Whether UNC wins or not, they don't look even close to #1 team in the country. I do hope they stay high ranked for the sake of perception when we play them, but I'm not counting on it.
First game back from injury for Tommy Bryant last night, and he had 8 pts 5 rebounds in 13 minutes. He looked so much better than he did in preseason. Dude is a great sparkplug.

OG early favorite for DPOY according to this article. Significant because aside from Marcus Smart last year and Kawhi a few years ago, it has been an awards for dominant defensive bigs.
While the ruling is asinine, it has been fun (living in the Lousville area) to see the NCAA cloud completely kneecap the Lousviille program. They couldn't recruit at all.
Plus I feel confident Kenny Payne wont br making the tourney for at least a year or 2.
