Perkins is the MVP runner up to keep them afloat in the 4th before Fair checked back in.

Hope we can give UConn a run for their money.

Fair is a warrior. She is a gal! (Women’s equivalent of he’s a dude?)

Yes!! Fair checks in!

Fair is back on the bench!

Oh man. Hope she’s ok.

Just joined!

I was in a few years ago. Am I invited back?

God bless you all for continuing to watch. I’ve moved on to the Knicks and I’m enjoying watching better basketball.

And the top-5 big man in fantasy this year is out for two months. See you all next year. I’ll still try to give it a good run but I have no chance at the crown now.

None of us do. Your point is…

The athlete aside, I hope he can still graduate from SU even if he’s off the team. I presume he loses his scholarship too. I guess there’s the portal though.

Not really, bro. You made a comment. I answered. You took it to another level. God this place is like Syracuse.com sometimes.

Are they kids or are they adults? You can't play both sides here. Adults get paid and treated as professionals. Kids don't. "Power 5" D1 athletes are adults. Case closed.

Again, use a different word. He's not a "kid." He's an adult who received a scholarship to play D1 sports. Act like an adult. You don't, you suffer the consequences. And watch your mouth. I thought discussing families and people's personal lives were no-bueno on this board. You're bordering...

I do. My twins are turning 4 in June. They're kids, and I treat them like the kids they are. Benny is a grown-ass man who's old enough to act like it. Weird comment.

Great job by Red. Shape up, or G.T.F.O. Sends a crystal clear message to the rest of the roster.

Since when are adults that are over 18 considered "kids"? Really odd that we infantilize college athletes regularly.

Yeah if Embiid is out long-term I’m done. There’s no coming back from needing to replace that kind of production.

Great win to get back on track. Pick 3 MVPs!

I made a major mistake dropping Gafford.

Also, the value in fantasy sports between a top 5 vs. top 20 guy is not the same as the difference between a top 60 and a top 75 guy, although both have a 15 point difference in the rankings scale. The lower you go, the more the difference in rankings matter.

And if you want to hand the reins over, I’d be happy to serve as commish. I’ve run my own yahoo fantasy basketball league for almost 20 years that we recently turned into a keeper league. I have zero problem with taking over next year.

I’m absolutely not sorry to call this league a Taco league, because it is. The majority of folks that play every year either have a limited knowledge of the NBA or make rookie fantasy mistakes. If you think Bojan and Siakam are remotely close to the same value, I would question your fantasy...

Sure. It’s really a three horse race in the league anyway.

Brown and Keldon Johnson are essentially a wash so they’re not worth considering here. Giannis and Curry are close enough in value that it completely negates Soup Bags ALSO getting a guy in Siakam that’s 99% owned and if we did a re-draft today would be selected in the fifth/sixth round. And...

Giannis is a top-15 player in our league. Curry top 25. Both were first round picks. Curry is actually projected to be the better fantasy player out of the two the rest of the season. Siakam is being thrown in for free and is projected to be a top 75 guy the rest of the way. The negligible...

Also, can we add LaVine back to Parsil Canyon’s roster? They clearly don’t get that you can put multiple guys on Injured Reserve. Thats a guy who’s 96% owned who was straight up waived. That should never happen when we have 3 IL spots.

Ok what is this awful trade? Curry for Giannis straight up is cool. I suppose you can also squint and say Keldon and Brown cancel each other out because both have been bad in fantasy this year. But then Soup Bags also gets Siakam (Top 60 guy) for free as an add-in? Thats an auto “vote...

How is it not true? It’s not a cheap shot if its true.

Boeheim ran this program into the ground. If you can’t acknowledge that then you’re clearly mad. We have a chance to make the NCAAs AND win 20 games this year. In no sane evaluation is that remotely “a little better than last year”. The last time a Boeheim led SU team won 20 games in a season...

In this specific instance with a new first year head coach inheriting a roster that’s not his, the knee-jerk back and forth reactions and takes on Red that we see on the board are stupid. He’s doing admirably so far with an inferior product that was run into the ground under a previous...

Why would you complain about an unfinished product? Doesn’t it make more sense to evaluate him at the end of the season?

Good recap. Thanks.

There’s some great points in this podcast, IMO. Anyone that is at all remotely interested in this issue should watch it in its entirety. The NCAA is a cartel and a farce and its reckoning is coming fast. We need to stop pretending D1 athletes aren’t employees and pay them appropriately. I...

This x100. Pick a side of the fence and stick there. And if you’re b*tching about Red, wait until the end of the season please.

Wrong thread for it.

I had to put the kids to bed so I missed 80% of the game but to me it seems like this was more on the players, no?

That’s only because the WNBA pays its players peanuts. That speaks more to how unprofitable it is for women in the professional sport realm than NIL, TBH.

It’s already happened for decades. Did you hate college basketball when bag men were out in the open?

Classic “trap game” after the huge win on Saturday. Short turnaround. Not at all surprising we got waxed.

I’m sorry, was he playing? Did he commit 16+ TOs?

Even in losses, we still Pick 3 MVPs!

I'm not too upset. It's their 19th game of the season and the first game they lost that they "should" have won. We knew they’d drop games like this. They still have two wins against Pitt and those have a chance to be Q1. Just try to get to 20 wins and win a game or two in the ACCT.

Totals for Oregon: Copeland: 120 points Cuffe: 25 points Mintz: 32 points Maliq: 35 points Starling: 5 points Season totals after Oregon game: 1. Judah Mintz: 498 points 2. Chris Bell: 228 points 3. Qadir Copeland: 212 points 4. JJ Starling: 192 points 5. Justin Taylor: 129 points 6. Malik...

I’m sure ESPN suits were cringing when Devo had no idea what a Quad Win was. Other than that, he did great. He needs to take the next step and break down some of his lingo though. I’ve been a basketball fan for 30 years at this point, so I know what “going downhill” and a “3 level scorer”...

Sick in bed so I missed the game. Got 10 text messages when I woke up. Guess that means we won?! Time to fire up the DVR but in the meantime, pick 3 MVPs!

We keep winning the games we’re supposed to. Pick 3 MVPs! (I’ll update season standings later).

I’m glad that other joke of a thread was nuked. Good job, mods. Now in terms of this game, I was out running errands with my kids and didn’t see much of it, but it seems like we just don’t have the personnel to compete with the top tier conference teams. Turn the page and move on.
