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:

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.

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.

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.

Freshman forward Dewan Huell of the Miami men's basketball team is facing a misdemeanor battery charge after police say he attacked someone who was in his ex-girlfriend's dorm room.

Huell, 19, was arrested Tuesday by police at Florida International University, where Huell's ex-girlfriend is a student. Court records show Huell was released on $1,500 bond.

Huell was a McDonald's All-American last season at Miami Norland High. He was one of the top-rated recruits in the country. He averaged 16.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game as a senior.

Miami officials say they are still gathering information about the incident. It was unknown if Huell has an attorney.

Huell and the Hurricanes open their season at home on Nov. 11 against Western Carolina.

I'm pretty happy in general with IU BALL but we could use a little bump up in the non conference opponents. We do have a tough conference but if UNC can pull off a good non conference and then go into the ACC then we should to AS A BLUE BLOOD

Bozich CB Brian Bowen to MSU. If this comes true it will be a special class by itself. 2 5 stars.

Non Conf schedule could use a little boost but i also like what Tim Buckley said about the schedule today at the press conference.

It's weird how Izzo had a little recruiting dip for about 2 years where he missed on a bunch of top targets, and now all of the sudden he's back with a vengeance in the '16 & '17 classes.
