College Bball Thread

[Josh 13,251]

I just watched the 93 Hoosiers win by one against the Fab Five at Michigan on YouTube. UM's last possession for the win was snuffed by a Cheaney partial block of a Juwan Howard jumper, Weber gets the rebound five feet from the basket, and Alan Henderson completely swats away his follow shot.

Hoosiers.

I remember that game well. Great ending! IU went 3-1 against the Fab Five (before all their games got vacated)

If local laws disregard the well being of the student athletes then frankly I think the NCAA has the right and obligation to protect the athletes.

Sports are a platform for individuals to comment on politics and social injustices. There's nothing sad about the fact that everyone, individuals and organizations, has the freedom to take a stand against something they don't believe in. It'd be a sad world where individuals could not express their views and speak out against perceived injustice.

Agree with their views or not, it's cool to not be North Korea. IMHO

Lets just make sure we keep everything civil on this subject.

 

I'm sitting this one out because i really don't feel like going back and forth on a topic that has already been hashed out on here and no ones opinions will change.

[Stuhoo 90,330]

Back to the college basketball thread now that Hova has taken the radical stance that it's cool to not be like North Korea, unless someone wants to take the "North Korea is cool" stance! Lol

North Korea is cool, usually in the fall and early spring.

Their citizens may not complain much, but that's probably a product of getting beheaded if they do complain.

Ahhh geez...I thought we could get this thread back to general college basketball news and away from North Korea. 

I guess I'll have to bridge the gap myself:

 

North Korea cheated in basketball games with China, source says

North Korea won games with China after falsely charging Chinese players with violations.

SEOUL, May 31 (UPI) -- North Korea hosted a basketball game on its home turf on Saturday, but the matchup wasn't necessarily a slam-dunk for relations with China. Members of the Chinese national team said North Korea won the game 82-73 because of "seriously" biased refereeing, Chinese news portal Sina Sports reported Tuesday.A Chinese player who was at the game said, "Some degree of biased judging, we can understand, but at this match it was too much."

The athlete who spoke to Chinese media on the condition of anonymity added, "Even when our players were standing, they were charged with traveling violations. And when there was light physical contact with the North Koreans, they called foul." The player said similar violations from North Korean players were not penalized.

The games were broadcast on Pyongyang's KCTV on Sunday, and footage showed North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in attendance, along with an entourage of top North Korean officials, including Kim's sister Kim Yo Jong. Kim is a basketball aficionado and has previously invited former NBA player Dennis Rodman to Pyongyang several times to meet with him. Rodman once called Kim a "friend for life."

The Chinese players, however, were unprepared to deal with North Korea's "strange situation," said another Chinese team member who spoke anonymously. The Chinese athlete said that North Koreans gathered at the Ryugyong Chung Ju-yung Gymnasium began staring at Kim with eyes of adulation when he arrived. They also delivered a standing ovation while shouting slogans pledging their loyalty, an unusual experience for the visitors. China played against the North Korean men's Sobaeksu team, and the two sides played a total of three games.

China lost all three games, according to the results.

So Ted Valentine made a trip to North Korea?

I'm curious to see if the Pac 12 has a good noncon season if the media will once again hype them up or be cautious considering their flop in the tourney.

Wow. Slice out at St. John's. Big time recruiter.

[yogisballin 2,455]

Reading my daily dose of The Courier-Journal this morning. Had a list of U of L's "10 toughest games" list. Checking in at #6 was INDIANA on Dec. 31st in Indy!

It says. This is a showdown, a good, old-fashioned donnybrook. Indiana may not have Yogi Ferrell, but the Hoosiers have a lot of other key peces back from their Sweet 16 team!!

1. Duke

2, pUKe

3. Virginia

4. UNC

5. Virginia

7. Peeyew

8. Syracuse

9. Florida St

10. Virginia Tech (i think Notre Dame goes here myself)

Thinking about Kansas

Frank Mason---------Rojo
Graham---------JBJ
Josh Jackson------Hartman (don't like this)
Bragg---------OG
Lucas---------TB

Bench
Mykhailiuk -------Morgan
Vick-----------Cujo, Newkirk
Azubuike-------DeRon Davis
Lightfoot ---------McSwain
Coleby ---------

If they start those 5 I'm worried about Hartman on either Bragg or Jackson. I like our match ups otherwise.

only change I would make is switching Hartman on Bragg and OG on Jackson. LETS GO!!!!!
