Athleticism is winning. Some good teams in college basketball this year.

Virginia tried to give it away to Nova but held on.  They didn’t handle the press at the end of the game at all.   

Some things carry over even between vastly different stylistic coaches. Sigh.

Kansas up 16 at half.    Peterson has 24 

I was hoping the Kansas/Self era would go out with a whimper…

Exhibition at the half:

UK:38, Puredoo: 30

Let’s not lose context; people act like Pudoo was in some way a special team last year; they were good but not special at all.

The media only remembers Braden Smith's performance against Houston last year and not his 6-turnover blowout loss to IU. 

 

They'll have at least one game in the non-con where they look amazing and our fans crap their pants over it...same as every year.

Duke vs Tennessee on ESPN is fun early

Kinda insane, they were interviewing Barnes literally during the game on the bench.

Pandora's Box has been opened.  On3 reporting T.J. Clark, who's played for Overtime Elite, played in the G-League and played professionally in Mexico is looking for a college gig.  He does still need confirmation of NCAA eligibility but that's just a joke anymore.  From what I've seen, he's currently 22-years old.

At the rate it's going, high school kids might as well give up basketball as they're going to become the 3rd option behind the likes of T. J. Clark and the portal.

I think we should get Victor, Cody and Romeo to come back since they still have eligibility left

Apparently they do not because they were actually drafted by the NBA.

Tyon Grant-Foster loses his NCAA appeal for eligibility to play for Gonzaga this year. I’m sure he’ll sue and based on the Pavia stuff I’m sure he’ll win, but this is absurd. He graduated from high school in 2018. He’d be playing tournament games next year at 26. For all the problems with college sports at the moment nothing pi$$es me off worse than this. There are no circumstances, none, in which a 26yo man should  be playing 18 year olds. Ridiculous. And should that happen in football it could absolutely be dangerous.

Yeah. and now a judge, who went to Gonzaga Law School no less, has now ruled Grant-Foster eligible and he’s playing in Gonzaga’s exhibition game tonight. Between this and the TJ Clark situation I really don’t even know what to say anymore.

I’m waiting for Lebron James to announce his college decision because MJ has an NCAA championship and he’s gotta chase that now. 
 

The court argument will be that James was more of a professional actor than basketball player so he will be allowed to play. 
 

im only half joking with this

That honestly seems to be the NCAA’s goal—an officially sanctioned stepping stone to the NBA.  
 

I’m ready for the NCAA to be officially pushed aside and the B1G/SEC create something new in its place.

Actually, what I’m waiting for, and it’s gonna happen at some point, is a  25/26yo defensive lineman who looks like Deforest Buckner busting some 18yo running back 3 months out of high school in half and ending the kid’s career and the Jay Bilas’ of the world who’ve been trumpeting the injustice of a man who graduated from HS in 2018 not being able to play in the the 2026 NCAAT will not say a freaking word.

Outside of game analysis, which he is excellent at, I find Bilas annoying on most topics.
