Oh grow a pair!!!  Why can’t you go out on a limb and predict 25+ wins?

Still not great, but WORLDS better than it was.

I think it was the “can’t predict that” lol!  My bad!  Sometimes you have to spell it out for the learning impaired!

It’s definitely better, but now it looks like they’ve had a roof leak and there’s mold growing on the floor.

I could see some eye adjustment for opponents and getting a little comfortable because coloring runs together in overlapping.  Home team gets use to it….advantage home team (reference to court, only).

I’ve looked at the picture a lot and it’s only now setting in how weird that B1G logo is in the lane. I can’t imagine how weird it’ll look in Pauley.

So you’re saying Woodson is the 6 Million Dollar Man?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him, we have the technology. Better, stronger, faster

I don't get their obsession with woodland basketball.

They probably could have saved 10s of thousands of dollars by just not having a forest on the floor. And people would actually like it.

Good for Sperber. Bad for online basketball content. Has done terrific work.

This is so nuts.

Because the Dior Johnson clusterf*ck continues to fascinate me, update: Played last year at Clarendon JC in Texas, made it through the year, and was a JCAA after getting all the domestic abuse stuff while at Pitt pled down to misdemeanors. He’s apparently now going to UCF to play for Johnny Dawkins. Dawkins is also bringing in Mikey Williams, Williams’ HS teammate who was also involved in the gun thing, and some kid who got kicked out of Syracuse. Dawkins is officially the most desperate coach I’ve ever heard of.

Interesting — reclamations with legal trouble haven’t really been his stock in trade before unless I’m forgetting some things.

My one regret is that bill Walton died before he did some late night Rutgers at ucla game this year and called the big ten the conference of champions.

Those would have been some crazy late night games.

It’s never going to end!  If this is the case, Keith Smart is entitled to $$.  The NCAA giving in and allowing NIL has opened up a large can of worms
