June 4, 20187 yr Author Great coach, sketchy character- will win wherever he goes, but good luck expecting him to see his contract out.
June 4, 20187 yr Don't know where else to put this, but it seems like Beilein is garnering some serious interest from the Pistons for their head coaching job.
June 4, 20187 yr Author Wish we’d grab his ear, tell him that he doesn’t want to live in Detroit, and offer him a few million a year to year to come live in Austin. He’d be great at Texas.
June 4, 20187 yr Yeah, I was slow to hop on the Beilein wagon but would hate to see him leave the college game for the NBA.
July 26, 20187 yr Author if i could only put money on two teams i'd take duke and nevada. duke will be closer to even money come tourney time, and at 60/1 Nevada is way too tempting to pass up with their talent, guard play, and nba offense.

July 30, 20187 yr Aren't we all just waiting for Pitino's book to come out? I imagine that is going to drop some bombs on Louisville, AAU, and perhaps a few other programs. Edited to add: ...meaning things we do not already know. Obviously enough bombs have been dropped by the Feds the past 18 months. Edited July 30, 20187 yr by A-Tex Devil

August 14, 20187 yr ^ Did they say what time on 11/6? It's election night and I got machines to corrupt.
August 14, 20187 yr Early game? WOn't it it just be on LHN? Earliest it would start would be 6:00p-CST. Most likely, 7:00p-CST.
August 14, 20187 yr Think we're talking 2 different games. I'm talking UK/Duke on 11/6, no idea when Texas plays.
August 14, 20187 yr I see. Texas also tips off on 11/6, which is a week earlier than usual. Eastern Illinois. Should be just as much of a scorcher as Duke/Kentucky. In that, both games will be decided by less than 5 points.
August 15, 20187 yr Not sure K is allowed up past 9. And most likely the game won't start til about 9:30/9:45. Edited August 15, 20187 yr by Underdog
August 16, 20187 yr We thought ESPN was bad with trey young... just wait until they make zion the most hated guy in the sport.
August 21, 20187 yr Zion is going to get his a lot this year then he is going to run into a big versatile 4 and a rim protector and come away with 8 points or something. It would have been awesome to see him go at the rim against bamba or to see him go at konate.
August 21, 20187 yr I think everyone is going to find Zion will be the third (maybe fourth) best player on the Duke team by the time we are in conference season,
August 21, 20187 yr Author Nevada is going to be awesome this year. MWC should be pretty good at the top with them and New Mexico as well as SDSU.

Everyone knows the RPI so going away from it is painful for too many people. They've tried to kill it for years without success.

He's huge and athletic but he isn't some world beater as a shooter. There are going to be a lot of landmines sitting on the court waiting for a charge with him. If he decides to play stiff defense though he will be a great college player with plenty of highlights. Seems to me his problem will probably be fundamentals. He has the size and athleticism to never have worried about fundamentals before. When he plays like sized people he might have some tough games. That being said, I wish he was making back door cuts for KU.

September 19, 20187 yr To be clear, it's the D3 program USJ in Connecticut, not St. Joseph's in the A-10. I was thrown for a second. Edited September 19, 20187 yr by Machinator

September 28, 20187 yr Wow, damn. https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/crime_police/article_a5d572a4-c306-11e8-93da-ffee7f12c848.html
September 28, 20187 yr Zion has a better handle than I thought after watching him. I think his immediate NBA skill that will translate well is rebounding -- he looks very quick off the ground and his vertical is obviously elite to say the least. His athleticism and unusual height/weight combo doesn't really garner many good NBA comparisons, but maybe guys like Larry Johnson and Charles Barkley are somewhat in the neighborhood. I think he's the best pure athlete I can recall since LeBron although I am sure I am forgetting somebody. Lot of good NBA talent on Duke this year...as usual I suppose.
September 28, 20187 yr Terrible news on the LSU player, also saw on ESPN site that Shaq’s boy is going to miss the season at UCLA due to a hear ailment that will require surgery. While the football kitties are doing well at the moment, can’t wait for the tipoff of college basketball.
