November 14, 20187 yr I heard someone of TV today talking about how good Syracuse was going to be this season. I didn't see much from them last season and have not paid much attention yet, but we shall see.

November 14, 20187 yr Oh, I see my friend Orlando is on the Illinois bench. I hadn't heard where he went after getting let go at South Florida.
November 14, 20187 yr Just now, spystud13 said: Whoa, that looked offensive in real-time. thought so too. let's see the replay.
November 14, 20187 yr James Banks has given Georgia Tech some active minutes tonight. Never saw him as display this much energy here. Of course I barely saw him play last year so who knows.

November 14, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, Goo Punch said: not good. but he can dunk, so he's got that going for him. Just looked up his stats. Looks like he's 0for from 3 on the season (0-11). But he did have his best game of his 3 game career so far so he's got that going for him (12pts, 4ast, 3rebs).
November 14, 20187 yr 21 minutes ago, Goo Punch said: the worst. It's like a Brady Bunch perm 19 minutes ago, PittsburghTiger said: the sideburns are epic.
November 14, 20187 yr Just looked up his stats. Looks like he's 0for from 3 on the season (0-11). But he did have his best game of his 3 game career so far so he's got that going for him (12pts, 4ast, 3rebs). I just got back from the game. McClung has a very quick first step, but you can leave him wide open outside. His outside shot is terrible. Overall, it was a fun game with some young talent showing up.
November 14, 20187 yr Tevin Mack is off to a rough start with Bama. He doesn't start, only averages 13 minutes a game, and he's shooting 25% from the field and 11% from 3. Whoof!!!!! Edited November 14, 20187 yr by Catdaddyhorn
November 14, 20187 yr ACtually he's averaging 19 and half minutes a game. I thought they had played 3 games already.

Reminded me of a weird version of Danny galeki from his Roseanne days. It was always curly and falling in his face. Very feminine. Nipples protruding. Very disrespectful.
November 14, 20187 yr 18 hours ago, Jhawk said: Zion is going to be the 1/2 pick. He's going to do very well in college and anyone who downplays his skill at the college level will look like a fool. His size more than makes up for any deficiencies he has in his game. The duke team is very well put together and could only be better if everyone had 2-3 years of experience under their belt. A junior/senior Zion would be a beast. Junior/Senior Zion will be in his second or third year in the NBA.
November 14, 20187 yr The NCAA is Making a Virginia Tech Basketball Player Retake His ACT Because They Don't Think He's Smart Enough To Get His Score Quote A new ACT score could be the ticket to getting Virginia Tech freshman forward Landers Nolley cleared by the NCAA. Tech men’s basketball coach Buzz Williams has said that Nolley did not play in an exhibition win over Liberty nor in the season-opening victory over Gardner-Webb because he has yet to be cleared by the NCAA. Nolley’s high school coach, Rory Welsh of Langston Hughes High School in Fairburn, Georgia, said Tuesday that the issue involves Nolley’s ACT score. Welsh said Nolley had the ACT score and high school grade-point average he needed to meet the NCAA’s requirements for freshman eligibility. “He did extremely well [on the ACT],” Welsh said in a phone interview. “He’s a very intelligent kid. He really has the natural ability to be an honor student. The type of focus [he had] his last year of high school, if he would’ve had that type of focus his freshman year and his sophomore year, he probably would end up being an Ivy League-type guy, because he has that type of intelligence level. “So they’re making him basically retake the test, simply because he did very well on it, which I thought was utterly stupid.

November 14, 20187 yr We had a 4 star WR recruit, Bryan Addison, have the same issue come up after committing to UCLA. He chose to decommit instead of retaking it. Because in this case he likely did cheat.
November 14, 20187 yr This is where the lines of student-athlete are blurred. If you want to pay them then why make them be a student at all? Why does the ACT matter? i think the only solution to the pay for play stuff is to allow athletes to market themselves and be done with it.
November 14, 20187 yr Zion looks like an evolved modern-day Charles Barkley to me. In college, Barkley played at a fat 300 lbs. He eventually trimmed it down to ~250 lbs and had a 37" vertical. Zion is a better leaper, but I'm not sure he is a better overall athlete. Barkley was relentless and had great motor, strength, explosiveness, footwork and vision. Zion probably has better skills at a comparable point in his career, but I'm not sure he is wired to dominate like Chuck. Time will tell.

Indefinitely suspended, which still leaves a little wiggle room, ala Coach Urban Meyer. I'm not sure why they would not just say he is gone, for good. The offender was a Criminal Justice major, and I think he was just named the conference player of the week. In that Twitter link there is a longer video that shows Platt having just air-balled a 3-pt shot and then coming down doing this. Edited November 14, 20187 yr by PittsburghTiger
November 15, 20187 yr Glad we ended up missing on Cremo. 4 years of Ramey is definitely better than 1 year of Cremo. Cremo can light it up at times but he has some athletic limitations so he's struggling to get big minutes with Nova.
November 15, 20187 yr Nova looks like a team that lost 3 first round draft picks and a high 2nd round pick. I don't care who the coach is. It's difficult to replace that many talented players.
November 15, 20187 yr Zion is an absolute freak. Being able to jump like this at 285 pounds is unreal.

November 15, 20187 yr ULM is not getting blown out by Sparty so that makes me feel a little better about our win over ULM.

If they get Daishon Smith back that ULM team is going to be pretty good. He's their best guard and he hasn't played against Texas or Michigan State. This was a close game until about the 15 minute mark in the 2nd half. ULM doesn't have the depth right now because of injuries. Michigan State and Texas both started to pull away in the 2nd half when ULM ran out of juice.
November 15, 20187 yr hes basically playing a high school team but his first 4 buckets are dunks. at 80% FG for the year

November 15, 20187 yr Northeastern up 11 on Alabama with 8 minutes to play. Tevin Mack has been terrible so far for Alabama. 1-4 against Appalachian State, 3-12 against Southern, 2-6 today against Northeastern. Edited November 15, 20187 yr by texasstrong12

November 15, 20187 yr Carsen Edwards is legit. Looks like a NBA player to me. Edwards vs Kerwin Roach will be fun. Edited November 15, 20187 yr by texasstrong12
November 16, 20187 yr it Is not Zion, but Pitt has a really nice freshman backcourt Shoot, I didn’t get it to show as a Tweet. I wonder why https://mobile.twitter.com/Pitt_MBB/status/1063252844315361281 Edited November 16, 20187 yr by PittsburghTiger
