Azerbaijan's 3x3 basketball team has qualified Interesting look into the Olympics qualifier.Turns out three of the four players on the Azeri team are from the US: Hayes, Marcedes Walker from Pitt and Alexandra Mollenauer from D2 Anderson.

They were a bit more complimentary in the post game. Even Chuck was saying "That is... total domination!" Another factoid to chew on: the team has led in all four tournament games it played this year by at least 30 points!

BIG EAST Announces Individual MBB Awards

Jeremy Schaap narrates:

Bonus points if you can find a giant wooden mallet and reenact the scene from Midsommar.:confused:

Here ya go...

Todd Ducharme is a VP at a technology advisory services firm in MA (viz public profile on LinkedIn). I get a ticket to a Suns game isn't the first thing a college student would buy, but it's not like that family is lacking in disposable income, NIL or not.

That term was being used willy-nilly by one UConn poster here in particular, and that poster couldn't be bothered to explain why. The thing is it implies something unique that only happens occasionally, like once in a generation. That's 25 or so years. So what makes Boston generational...

I don't get the expectations some have from the transfer portal, like it's the college version of the WNBA waiver wire. Apparently, there has to be a transferee out there who: 1. Is willing to play limited minutes 2. wants to go to Uconn and play in Geno's system 3. Able to...

May not be apropos but something I came across while reading about demonstrations in Germany : Niels' aunt, Franziska Giffey was elected mayor of Berlin in December 2021.

Some gossipy stuff from this article, take from it what you will : Grambling AD attempts to clarify volleyball roster fallout

Well, it was the tone of their replies that just struck me as unusually cold. More like upper management talking about redundant factory workers than supposed educators. Hey, at least there's no pretense about character building, team spirit and all the rest of that hoo-ha. It's 'Just win...

Grambling State volleyball coach Chelsey Lucas cuts entire 19-player roster Can't say I've heard of this kind of instant wholesale clearance by a new coach in an NCAA sport before. All I can say is wow :confused: Also, the attitude of the AD administrators at Grambling is just... ugh

In memoriam, the '21-22 Lakers:

May 1 for winter sports in order to qualify for the one-time immediate eligibility. It was extended last year to July 1 because the rule wasn't approved by the NCAA BoD until April 28.

Oof, good luck to whoever gets saddled with that job. 8-63 since 2019 (including the Morgan Valley years), dropping down to D3 next season. What's not to like?:rolleyes:

Posters on the 'yard, whenever these threads start going off...

One day more Another day, another destiny... One day more... To the Final Four!!!

UCF cheerleader: "Sitting down here may not be a good idea..."

All's well that ends well :) Now that the men's season is over, we'll likely see her in Bridgeport, no?

But, but, but... according to our resident expert here, Creighton ISN'T a legit team. lololol

NC State only beat 16 seed Longwood by 28 points and allowed them to score 30 more points than Mercer. That's enough to cut it against the Huskies, amirite? :rolleyes:

If UCF wins over Fla (they're leading after one quarter), this forum's going to be a lot more miserable than it is now come Monday evening. Whether the Huskies win or not, I doubt any style points will be found in that game :P

She is still in hospital, unfortunately. For those interested, the mother maintains a blog of their journey (The Light of Aubrien).

From the article: Does that mean we're actually respectable now? When did that happen?:confused: (also, something caught in my eye after reading that story... no, no crying here)

Old enough to remember how salty PSU fans were, having to play at Hartford as the one seed during Kelly Mazzante's (and Diana's) senior year. Back then it was the Big East conference that hosted the regional (?) as per Wikipedia. Good times.;)

Too many awards? On the cordarone annoyance meter, that registers even lower than Meghan Culmo's (ahem) loquaciousness. :shrug:

The reporter asking the follow-up question is most likely NOT from central NY state lower Canada. :rolleyes:

Unlike the WNBA and NBA, pro teams elsewhere in general aren't required to make their payroll, contract details and player salaries public, so the answer is 'No one knows for sure'. One website showed the average salary in the top French pro women's league at 3700 euros/ month. That's better...

Their mother is British so they can both claim citizenship by descent. It's convenient for the Euroleague which limits non-European players to two per team, along with one naturalized player.

Anyone who's been here a while knows this is your pet windmill and all but that isn't true, and you know it. Locals who fill out the roster are paid orders of magnitude less than the foreign players. The top teams are subsidized by their oligarch owners or by some local company or government...

Huskies' seniors on their Senior Day emotions

At one point, ND was 2/21 from the field. Finished the half a much more respectable 23%. :p Outrebounded 25 to 7.

Notre Dame, one field goal made in the entire first quarter. At home. Ouch. :o

May have been said earlier, but so satisfying that Uconn's getting Shade (and Patterson) right out of the Irish' (and Hoosiers') backyard :)
