Seems like the NCAA coached up the refs to let the kids play and not turn the product into a ticky tack foul game. Been like that all tourney and it’s great for us an Purdue. It’s a good call for the product, where the best players stay on the floor and battle. If they called a really tight...

Leave it to the lawyer to tell you exactly how happy you’re allowed to be. Been in siberia for years, looking like a #1 out of nowhere. Some people here gonna get excited, try your best to enjoy it :). I’ll buy a shirt and give the first $20 donation to the guy who’s gonna wrap his car...

40 assists in two games. Forced 38 turnovers. To see the O and D operating this well, this early in the season is really something else.

I agree this is a good team, but I can’t get over the fact that opposing teams seem to miss the rotation dagger this year when they somehow made it the past 5 years. I’m not really sure what it is, maybe the wrong guy is taking the shot now cause the D is closing on the key shooters as a...

His hesitation move is as good as KEA. It’s like he has a burst of speed then can slow time down in mid air... you can’t teach that.

My next door neighbor has one and it works pretty well. The key with every fire based heater is to start a fire well before you actually need it. Once you have embers and real heat, the smoke goes up quickly and is barely noticeable. Fires are smoky and smelly when you first light them. Not...

Crazy that OP has played poorly for 30 years without lessons. Lessons should guide your practice. While they can help on their own, typically you’ll want 3-1 practice to lessons. Don’t just set aside time for the lessons, set aside time to put the lessons into your muscle memory. The 6...

Love this thread. I went to that game and still have a beat up hat I bought at the venue. I mostly blanked the next game out of my memory. UConn coming back to DC every year is a big deal for me. This NBE is great, yearly home and homes are great, and I’m gonna drink 1000 beers when they...

I see benching him as what brought that effort out. Dude is clearly hungry and there’s some minutes to be had. Go Sid!

“Pick play” terminology comes from basketball but becomes a football play, then the football play becomes a basketball play. It’s like eating breakfast for dinner. Good find, Austin. This is interesting.

I think it is partly due to teams not knowing what they’re up against in the first couple minutes. They play against a lot of 6’9” guys so to say they’re gonna avoid going at him early in the game is not the best mindset for the opposing team. They learn the lesson quickly. The timing of his...

This x 1000 Win the battle to the first TV timeout and wear em down in the second half sounds like a good game plan to me.

As he should be. If you don’t put a full night sleep between press releases on a #metoo + assault and restraining order transfer and a player personality issue transfer then you deserve what comes to you. Pros have agents with press shops to handle this. Akinjo is 19 and has his aunt’s...

The halftime show is on mute and the background music keeps on changing in volume. Looks like someone bailed on a dry run to eat turkey and get drunk this weekend. Good for them? Super JV.

Im curious to hear from people who see the difference between the video analysis and basketball-classroom time in college vs HS aau. I know we have a guy specifically for video and I don’t know how much of a step forward you can take when there may be much better resources to teach him how to...

He’s got more info than we do, but if we don’t have a star in Cole or JB then you have to be open for a killer at point if the right player is gettable. Given the suspension and the off year, we only have limited info for next year at the most important position in CBB.

Evansville had three clock violations in the last 6 minutes. They didn't even close it out well. Heck of an upset, but its early in the season and I bet the Kentucky kids haven't even had time to cash their checks yet. They'll get in better form for draft season.

I love this picture. Kemba very rarely dunked, maybe twice all year? Siva was the only guy he played all season that could match his quickness and he Dd up kemba well in the three times they played that year. This was the big east championship game And Uconn had lost twice to the cardinals that...

They’re scoring OK. Actually getting the ball into Sid in the middle of zone really well.

As jay bone posted in the other thread. Use a computer and go to first row sports. After the Pervy ads are gone the stream is pretty good.

At least you can watch the Marist VMI game in HD now

NCAA is following their own rules right into self destruction.

I totally understand that big guards are a desired commodity, but watching a real quick set of small of guards get under the “big guard” Harrison twins ... and carving though Nova, Mich St and Florida make me feel like they’re not essential. UConn fans are probably skewed to this. Give me any...

If I were his coach is recommend he take a year off of PED monitoring and take more steroids than Ivan Drago. He looks made for the big leagues if he has some more meat on his bones. Would be a great get.

TBH - Zion is the person I least expected to take a package. I would totally expect other people would try to pay for him so hearing that on tapes wouldnt be damning. People around these kids try to cash in on just influence and I get that is totally normal. Just like hiring a lobbyist in...

Sure, but my preference would be to name the players from those schools that took $$ in the last 3 years. What did the package look like? Another interesting tidbit would be What % of the top 10 and top 50 players are getting $. How is that cash being delivered? What I'm trying to...

I think the combination of tradition and education at Duke has made it a magnet to the point where they no longer have to put a penny on the table to get the best recruits. It is self-propagating. There may have been some cash floating around at some point, but I don’t think K needs it now. He...

This is an odd statement cause you need to judge slope and wind against something, like a number. To get that number you need a range finder of some sort. I agree that using pin distance for every shot is a bad idea but I shoot way more than pins with my gun. I have an Approach S60 watch and...

I agree with how good AG needs to be, but if he’s not injured and someone is better than him then we’re having a really good year. So in a way I hope he’s not the best player, but in a unrealistic expectations sort of way.

I'm with you and there's no perfect solution, but I'm also glad Zion had a cup of coffee in the NCAA. It was fun to watch. It's cool that the generational players get to show their stuff at the NCAA level, even if its only for a year.

I live in DC and have found a neat hack to watch all the pats games. I have Roku and YTTV on 5 TVs in my house. I've authenticated 4 of them to my local DC market, but had another one authenticated to CT television. I didn't have an android phone at the time (Android allows for location...

I think the system is complicated and not totally clean, but the TV product is pretty good and it keeps people from a hundred + schools engaged. The system has more good than bad currently from my perspective. Guys like Chris Murphy are big supporters of paying students and I've never really...

I haven’t got too deep into the CA bill, but my concern would be that the schools with the biggest boosters would get the best talent and it would take away the parity that still exists. Would that even matter? Or do schools like Kentucky and Duke get pretty much the same players. Would it not...
