Would be big if Temple and UCF could win tonight. So far so good.

Temple is looking real good so far this season.

Edit: just noticed they lost to La Salle last time out. Damn it

Bagley was scared off by Carlton and Diarra.

Yup, didn't want to compete for minutes against CV unfortunately...

ECU gets it done in OT. UNCW always a good win.

Temple goes wire 2 wire to drop 5-1 S. Carolina.

UCF comes up short against Mizzou.

Eric Konkol and LATech almost upset #24 Alabama last night. 77-74. As others have said, I like him as a coaching candidate should things go south. His offense operates beautifully considering what he’s working with.

This LATech AD really knows what to look for in basketball coaches. Mike White now Konkol.

I find the Indirect Impact (SOS) calculations interesting when reviewing all teams.

So the team has played to form -- big losses to two top 20 teams, wins over 5 teams outside the top 120.

They have to prove themselves against teams in the second 50 and work their way into the NCAA bubble. Should be possible with such a young team as they develop chemistry.

Go Oregon! Beat Boise (#46 RPI) tonight!

That was cool. Temple is being overlooked. Rose, Alston, Obi E, and Brown are all looking good. They look better than we do right now.

 

[Travelman6]

That was sick. Could be a top 25 mens college ball play of the year.

Also, I am starting to think people might need to reshuffle AAC conference predictions. I HAD Uconn at 4. Perhaps Temple could be the 4th best. Uconn maybe 5 or even 6, UCF 6, perhaps as high as 5.... Tulane will likely finish around 7th too, could be ahead of Houston (where do they fit in, in your opinion?)

Start things off with a bang - Huge sigh of relief from Alford probably.

 

[awfuldan]

Wow. Would any school take him as a transfer? Where will he play?

Maybe he goes back to China?

I'm sure the Hangzhou prison team could use him.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

If KO doesn't get on the phone today, he should be fired.

Who would want that headache?

He’s joking guys

 

[Cassius Klaiber]

I'm curious what this means for LaMelo's recruitment - seems to be a much better player than LiAngelo. If he decommits, it should be interesting to see who's willing to bite the bullet for one year.

 

[ctchamps]

He’s joking guys

Ya think!

 

[TRest]

This is the kid with the least likely shot at a pro career, correct? He will be doing him a disservice if he doesn't find a spot somewhere on a college campus. The way Lonzo is playing, I wouldn't want the whole family to think they can live off that for the rest of their lives.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I can't even imagine how happy Alford is.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I wouldn’t even take Lamelo, Lavar is way to big of a distraction. They took gelo as part of the deal to get on lonzo on campus, Alford probably gives zero efs Lavar took him back.

LaVar Ball pulls son LiAngelo out of UCLA

Ball told ESPN he hasn't decided where LiAngelo will play this season.

"I'm going to make him way better for the draft than UCLA ever could have," he said.

"He's not transferring to another school," he told ESPN. "The plan is now to get Gelo ready for the NBA draft."

I thought he was just an a hole but he is actually delusional as well.

 

[HooperScooper]

Asked if LiAngelo was an NBA prospect, one NBA executive simply said, “No.”

Good luck LaVar.
