He wanted the keys to the vehicle from the start and Ollie wasn’t going to give that to him so he went elsewhere.. it happens! As I watch the game he has the green light to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. Ollie’s a coach to reign a guy in, which would’ve made him n his dad frustrated to the point he’d transfer out the following year anyway, especially what happened last year with said dad n player .. So I’m happy

I’m happy for TW. It’s early but it looks like LSU was a good decision for him.

The Cayman Islands Classic has been a comical dumpster fire. Poorly managed, poorly broadcast, it's just a terrible event. I even feel a little bad for Cincy that they're stuck playing in this.

Let’s Talk About The Dumpster Fire That Is The Cayman Island Classic

Cayman Islands: Fake Corporations > Fake Tournament

I figured Waters would be good and a Bazz-like college guard, but I'm surprised at how good he looks early. Forgetting UConn, it looks like a mistake that even the other bigger programs that he wanted to go to passed on him.

There are reasons other programs passed. Some rumors linked him to FBI probe.

Meh, I have a hard time seeing a guy like Roy Williams really giving a damn about that.

He would have just said, "well I had no idea, everything between us and Tremont was on the up and up, I swear". And then the NCAA would say, "ahh Roy, we knew that was the case, just had to go through the motions anyway, ya know. Hey, what's Lorraine cooking, smells delicious? Have a great Thanksgiving Williams family!"

With a gun to your head... and you can only pick one team to win the title who do you select? The winning pick saves your life. Sorry for the drama

Duke, ugh. Or the UNChea....I mean UNC.

 

[superjohn]

Those highlights don't even fully do him justice. He had a couple jaw-dropping passes

Robert Williams is a man

Tony Carr is smooth

University of Texas Arlington is out working a 25 ranked Alabama right now !!

Really fun game. Arlington looking to position themselves for At-Large consideration with a W. UTA also travels to Creighton so the opportunity is there with a W vs Bama.

I guess CT residents know this, but I just am seeing it recently...Khalil Dukes can really shoot it.

Although Niagara is local, I haven't paid as close attention to them lately. Watching them against BYU, I knew he scored but man, he's tough.

Do Notre Dame basketball players ever graduate?

 

[awfuldan]

Tremont Waters and co getting their butts kicked by ND so far.

Sterling Gibbs’ little brother is killing it for the Irish. Should have come to UConn, TJ!

 

[superjohn]

Dan Dakich is a such a tool.

 

[KodiacKemba]

The great escape for Alabama..!! Sexton carried them n had the defensive stop of the game ..

You can say that again. And again, and again, and again...............

Just saw a "Coaching Legends" segment after the women's game with Roy Williams, Boeheim, and K. I have never turned the channel faster.

Well they are but I can't blame you or anyone for changing the channel.

Watching LSU v. Michigan, Tremont Waters is nasty. Kills me he didn't come here.

Yeah, we tried. Couldn’t compete with LSU, if you know what I mean.
I was a big proponent of Tremont when he was being recruited. Lots of folks couldn’t get past his Dad. He is a winner and has tons of talent. I think he’s a better shooter than he showed in the clip and that wasn’t bad - enough to comeback and win.
