The airports alone are light years different with regard to people actually being around. Go to the fucking hotel. Play the game. Go home. It's all good.

December 1, 20205 yr Joel Ntambwe no longer on the Texas Tech Basketball team. Headed for g-league with his brother?

December 1, 20205 yr The official word is "personal reasons". It's just weird that the guy would sit out for so long and then leave just after he finally started getting to play.
December 2, 20205 yr Maybe Joel was more of a 1:4 type of guy... Why does this whole situation smack of not taking to "hard coaching," about which which Chris Beard is about as transparent and candid as possible as being a necessary quality to be on his teams? Edited December 2, 20205 yr by slorch
December 2, 20205 yr Pokes with a solid road win at #28 Marquette 70-62.Looked shaky early, but went extended zone middle of the first half and pretty much shut them down the rest of the night. I like that this team can go 10 deep and lots of our points come from the bench. Should be in every game besides the 1 or 2 bed shittings all teams have each year.Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

December 3, 20205 yr These announcers keep treating this Baylor-Illinois game like it's a Big Ten conference game, just can't stop sucking off the B10.
December 3, 20205 yr Close game thru the first half but Baylor managed to pull away down the stretch to beat Illini.

You'd be watching a game between 2 teams in an entirely different conference yet get repeated references to "SEC speed" and "SEC defense".
December 3, 20205 yr Damn this conference is deep. I'm really encouraged by what our young guys are doing, but then I look around the league and think 'Fuuuuuuuck".

He bolted from OSU hours after losing a tournament game, and apparently without giving us a chance to match. He's also the one who brought Lamont Evans to Stillwater who is the reason we are facing probation, while Underfuck gets no punishment at all, because the fucked up NCAA prefers to punish players and now coaches who had nothing to do with things instead of actually punishing people who are responsible. And before anyone starts barking off about "OSU must have cheated" look into what happened, nothing Evans did gave the program any competitive advantage, he did it solely to enrich himself, and went to jail for it, yet the NCAA somehow thinks the program should be punished for that, fuck them, and fuck underfuck.

Any word on a possible appeal? I'd hate to have possibly the best player in college basketball miss the tourney on some complete bullshit. The NCAA loves cutting off its nose to spite its face.

The NCAA loves cutting off its nose to spite its face. No word, and I can't imagine it will amount to anything. I mean, has the NCAA *ever* gone back on something like this? Our case seems objectively absurd, especially since they just gave another program (Alabama, IIRC) a slap on the wrist a few months ago for literally the exact same thing that Lamont Evans did. But then this is the NCAA, and we aren't Kansas or Kentucky or Duke, so I fully expect us to get fucked.
December 3, 20205 yr Same. Kansas, Baylor, Texas, OSU with Cade, it's gonna get hard af for everyone. And you omitted two ranked teams and who knows about Ou. Hopefully they suck, but either way .... fuuuuuuuuck.

I hadn’t heard this Alabama thing. Gonna have to look that up. If we do get fucked, I need to know how much righteous indignation is appropriate.

So wouldn't dragging feet mean that we are still out?

I read that the probation doesn't take effect while on appeal, so if they drag their feet past March, we would get to play. I would hope that some network guys would be in their ears to just sit on it so they can get some ratings off of Cade, and then they won't really give a fuck about us. I also read that there is some precedent for having sanctions like these reduced on appeal, including the most serious of sanctions like post-season bans, but the NCAA has fucked us whenever they can, so I expect nothing from the appeal, except possibly waiting until after this year's tourney to affirm the ban hammer.

Oh ok. Well that's cool. I tend to not buy into the whole "they'll do it for ratings" thing, because the NCAA already has the money in their pockets from the TV rights and it's not like one player like Cade is going to demand higher ad rates; plus the ad buys have likely all been (mostly) made at this point anyway. So even if he generates some incremental interest, it's not like it will have any real $ impact to any of the parties involved. Han But the other part is promising... hope it works out because I want to get excited about this team, but it's hard when I keep coming back to "what's the point?"
December 3, 20205 yr Also, just so everyone fully understands the extent of NCAA fuckery, they have said for years that they give consideration for full cooperation during investigations, and we did so, knowing that the problem involved no competitive advantage, and that the coach was fired immediately, and he was then dealt with by the criminal justice system. As a reward for our cooperation, we got the one year ban hammer, and were told thanks for your cooperation, it could have been worse. Meanwhile, Kansas and its FIVE LEVEL 1 allegations including lack of institutional control has resulted in no action from the NCAA while Bill Self and his cronies lie their asses off and obstruct at literally every turn. What's the old saying? "The NCAA was so angry at Kansas that they hammered Oklahoma State."

I would be like, "Oh you think you have something? Good luck proving it. Give us a call when you're done investigating and let us know what you found out." Any requests for information would be met with as much stalling as possible. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Then if they want to hit us years later and "vacating wins" I'd be totally fine with that, lol.

I agree, except in this case, there was no competitive advantage, so there should have been no need to hammer the program, and cooperating should have been in our interest to make clear that he was a lone actor solely enriching himself. I thought maybe something light to say "keep better tabs on your hiring" or some shit like that, but nope, ban hammer. KU paid players and is gonna get off scot free. Fuck the ncaa.

That's what pisses me off the most. You'd think if there was ever a case where cooperating would help, it would have been this one. And it probably would help if it was anyone other than us. We sound like the average fan whining about the NCAA being after us, but Got damn, we have some pretty strong examples of all out fuckery. With these sanctions, we now have the Triple Crown of NCAA fuck jobs. They have ended any hopes of a successful season now in all three major sports on cases where EVERYBODY outside of Norman openly saying we got fucked and it's unfair. Not exactly the type of championship you want to win, but I challenge anybody to find a school that tops our history with the NCAA as far as getting fucker over unfairly.
December 3, 20205 yr You don't want to be anything less than a blueblood if you intend to cooperate with the NCAA. The hypocrisy is staggering.
