New zone strategy. 6'10" guards up front.

Is there a specific reason we even have a 1% chance here? UCONN board who has much closer connections to his friends and family says he's going to Michigan. He said multiple times that Michigan is his dream school and he grew up watching Michigan basketball. That means he is probably keeping...

And how much just on today's game? Like this genius on MSU forum:

He has rich parents with expensive lawyers, that would not have been advisable and security guy guessed right not to overstep. That's also the reason the dude is still in college with two prior expulsion related offenses. The family is from Long Island so I wouldn't be surprised if they bribe...

Kentucky has various NBA players in their locker-room before and during games all year long (along with rappers and other celebrities). Don't see how that would be illegal otherwise they'd be on 50 year probation already.

Thank the cable monopolies and dumb game rights. Install adblock plus, most games will be on front row you just have to close out some additional popups. If it's asking something it's not them but the third party hosting the content. There are no premium accounts there, everything is free.

They got pissed after no championships for a while and made grades a non-issue for admission ;)

It's very bandwagonish. A LOT of random Duke fans all over Connecticut here which should be UCONN country if anything. I see a lot of people dressed up in Duke gear walking around now that they're in FF, people who I can guarantee did not go there.

Truth be told, Kentucky did amazing for a team dominated by underclassmen. It will be interesting to see how they grow from this experience in their next three yearshahahahaha

Smart is going to wait until something big opens up like Duke. He's a hot commodity, no need to risk it all on a tier 2 program.

It's a factor of college officiating being very bad and MSU teams being very physical. So they tend to get away with a lot more since refs still can't adjust to a physical team playing a non-physical team. Same complaint we had for years against someone like Pitt. Not really's Izzo's fault, it's...

I believe the stat is that he only had 2 NBA lottery picks on his team in the last decade TOTAL. That's insane considering the amount of FFs. For comparison, THIS year's Kentucky has 7 projected NBA draft picks, with about 3 in the lottery.

ND is the least likely to ever compete for recruits with us.

Part of why is his strategy of ALWAYS scheduling top teams OOC. This means more losses every season compared to other talented teams that schedule light. This leads to a worse seed on average compared to what they could have gotten that year if he scheduled cupcakes. However that preps his team...

Flip the can around and look at the ingredients. Name one thing on there that healthy in that dose. 4x the caffeine content of a cup of coffee in an instant is also very bad. On the other hand, regular coffee is fine in moderation.

There is no such thing as "energy" drink. All marketing with no scientific basis and with huge long term negative health implications. There is no scientific way to give yourself drinkable energy. This includes gatorade and other such nonsense. Caffeine which is typically one of the ingredients...

Can't wait till he works the NCAA tournament likes always and avenges his ACC firing there. He should go out on top, wait until NC State makes it in and then eject the whole team from the game and then walk out and retire.

LOL Buzz was on the floor to basically catch that ball before it hit the ground after the made basket.

Good teams with big forwards/centers will pack it in and double team XMAS full-time. At that point we'll basically have 0 offense.

Nah only the expected 4-year student athletes get punished. The trick is to run a complete one-and-done program like UK and then NCAA loves you for promoting education or something.

The tea party crazies can't keep it to themselves even on sports fan boards unfortunately.

I think his mom is just trolling. "Yep Missouri is out", in an effort to push him towards Cuse. "Dammit Mom!"

JB and K did not have decade long NBA careers and connections there to get additional jobs after the first one. It's a risk.

We only have one scholarship though, no? How would we get both? Or is it two now with Grant gone

You just sue the Big10 at that point to enforce the payment. They are the party that orchestrated the move. Also what kind of BS move is this by MD? They SIGNED the agreement, along with everyone else, saying they will pay this exact fee if they were to leave. They leave and now say "well fu*k...

ACC only streams a few. You NEED to have ESPN3 access which is either a) paying for cable or b) loaning a login from family or friends who have cable. I do b) and haven't had actual cable TV for 2 years now. I stream everything. Exhibitions and early games = Orange All Access OOC games = mix...

Kentucky definitely needs help with recruiting. They have been terrible last few years :rolleyes:

Ah... old people. Don't worry, soon we will join the rest of civilized world and legalize it. Might take another decade or two of conservatives to die off though. There is actual scientific research that shows how much worse alcohol is than about 90% of illegal drugs. Weed is the safest of them...

Well you can't go to jail or be arrested in any state for having marijuana in your system. That's the point. They are getting punished for something that's legal. Prior activities need to be proven by police/court and obviously no state will bother with that. Perfect outcome. That's how it...

Yes and they're not getting punished for something illegal though, since is not a suspension because they got arrested by police. This is from doing a test to see if it's in your system. There are no laws against having marijuana in your system, so that's not breaking the law. A pure invention...

Good question, they're bypassing this by allowing you to play in D-League whenever you want. D-League teams can sign with no age restrictions while NBA gets a 20 year restriction which is just a +2 to current restriction they have in place already.

No it doesn't. Guys like Anthony Davis and Noel would not be in college at all and would go straight to D-League with the new rules. That's the point of raising salaries there. They would then play in D-league until they are 21 then and can go to an NBA team. Other option if you don't care about...

I'm not sure that's fully NCAA though. Conferences make it their rules that universities have to enforce. For example if you transfer within ACC it's 2 years per conference bylaws. If NCAA does away with this rule, all major conferences will just make up an agreement between themselves to...

Most of these "the next jordan!/ the next steve nash!" kids end up topping out at 5'9" like the general population does, and never even sniff D1, forget about NBA.

That would make it worse and create more time filler. Possession arrow, and go on offense right away.

No problem with players getting compensated a standard very limited amount. You seriously don't see any issue with loans where the boosters will just open up their pockets for these "loans"? "Oh oops I totally forgot to collect that loan! Guess that's the benefit of going to UK! Hold on I need...

He just wants to legalize what he is doing already, that way there will be no chance of getting caught again. Yeah he did exactly this at UMASS. Figures. Of course booster controlled banks are NOT going to favor their booster schools when giving these loans to people with little or no NBA...

The baskets need to be moved up. In 10 years we'll have 7'8" guys playing.

Will he play guard too? As been proven again and again, top back courts is what gets you into the final four. We will have no one except an unproven Joseph.

Two number 1 seeds play for championship again...yawn. The whole NCAA tournament for women is just a formality to get the top 2 teams to play. They should just skip it and have UCONN play whoever is ranked next to them every year.

It can't be old pic since it has his updated tattoos that he got somewhat recently especially left shoulder. It could be someone else with his tattoos though. My money is on JB secretly recruiting another player under the table since DC2 can't play now, and then covering him up with the same...

We are thin at guard next season, duh. When you can't recruit new guards, convert existing players! His knee surgery was just height reduction surgery in disguise. He will split mins at guard with Joseph next year.

At UCONN they have unlimited food in cafeterias and all scholarship athletes in Storrs have unlimited passes there. They do close at 10-11, however anyone can take out as much food as they want for later. They also have cash money on their meal plans for other places around campus some of which...

There is a HUGE reason why. I'm not sure why it's not apparent? They don't play zone, and we do. They can afford to recruit talented guys that are 5'10" and 5'11" (aka small guards). And these guys just don't have the size to be in the NBA even when they are really good until their junior or...

Interestingly enough the only national championship we have was where we switched between zone and man most of any year I've seen Syracuse play. Ironically, after the NC somehow the media jumped on the fact that the zone won it for us and JB has been 100% zone since.

They just became a mid major. All their talent right now was recruited when they were in Big East by Calhoun. Will take a few years.

We're in top 10 for talent in college bball almost every year with multiple NBA players per class. Don't think we should be held to the same final four standard year to year as New Mexico St. Losing to BC, Georgia Tech, NC St, and Dayton to end the season is pretty embarrassing. We didn't go...

We ran our starters into the ground and did not improve our offense for 5 months straight. Us falling behind at the end of the season had more to do with every other team around us getting better as the season progressed. We stayed the same.

How? I assume if Grant is gone Roberson will have to start with McCullough. No matter what people think XMAS will be playing center 30+ minutes per game next year (if no foul trouble). Silent G will have to get guard minutes so we only have Johnson really as backup forward. Yeeesh.
