I still love the Karate Kid tournament bracket. Waiting for a team to name themselves 'Cobra Kai'.
I thought his move going to man was great with 15.7 left...except for the fact he left Jackson in.
"Strike first strike hard no mercy sir!"
I did too. I was suggesting it in this thread. And then he did it. And we have uo a basket in about 5 seconds.

Blackwell: "I want Team FOE out of commission."
Devo: "I'll make 'em look silly on my way to the rack."
Dirty: "I'll rain threes on these guys like I rained them on Arkansas. They'll beg for umbrellas."
Jason Cipolla in the grey! (gray?) i'll go with platinum
The level of competition Gillon is seeing here is much greater than anything he faced last season.One thing that surprised me was that Gillon had trouble even getting it up the court. We know his height limits his defense at the top of the zone and ability (or is it willingness) to feed the post. However, I would have thought his speed and quickness would allow him to get it past half court easier. When BT was bringing it up, there was never an issue. What a stark contrast. BT looked more confident than ever, even when things didn't go well for him at times.
Crazy to think Devo is the oldest guy on the team. My girl couldn't believe it. She said Rick Jackson looks 40 years old.
Yeah, while watching the game last night (twice), I couldn't help but think about what could have been with Scoop. I know a lot of people questioned Riley's presence on this squad, but I agree with you: He's a great fit.I did get to watch late last night. I had a great time watching with my oldest daughter and telling her about the players, most of which she couldn't remember because she is 11.
As far as the team I think a healthy Scoop would have helped this team dramatically. He knows how to get guys like Rick and CJ involved. Watching guys like, Triche, CJ and Southerland play defense makes me realize how bad ours was last year. Devendorf is still a terrific offensive player. Green is still a huge talent who is frustrating to watch. I thought Triche was the key cog on both ends. I was impressed with Riley on defense he certainly challenged shots and allowed others to play aggressively. I had a blast watching.
Overall they did a good job putting this team together but unfortunately Scoop got hurt.
Riley is a good fit in his roll as a backup center. CJ, James, Cooney are good secondary type players who can hurt you and play good defense. Plenty of backcourt fire power with Devo and Brandon. Green is your offensive gunner who has to be accounted for and Rick is still solid in the middle. Scoop would have rounded out this squad very well IMO.
didn't he end up as the most winning player in school history? is someone still keeping track of that stat (not that anyone on the most recent teams would have a shot at the lead)BT is one of my all time favorites. I know not everyone felt that way.
