Yeah, we tried. Couldn’t compete with LSU, if you know what I mean.

Sucks but yes his narrative is well documented. $$ got him to LSU. there are other recruits excelling elsewhere you should be more upset about

He’s a guy I really wanted because he is a basketball player above all else. He loves the game and works hard.

I agree, but he was never coming here. Some people on here that wear blue goggles still can't seem to grasp that.

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.

The kid made the right decision for himself. LSU needs him much more than UConn does, and he will see a ton of playing time there. When Alterique gets rid of some of the rust, he'll be even better than this.

We can't blame kids for finding good situations for themselves, even though UConn could have surely used him. He could have taken all of Anderson's minutes and then some. But LSU seems an even better opportunity because of their lack of guards... Until next year anyway.

Cal is getting blown out by Chaminade right now. Gonna go 0 - 3 in Maui.

How did they almost beat Wichita State?

 

[awfuldan]

Colgate up 14 at the half at BC. Love it.

 

[aceboon]

Did Cuonzo Martin leave a bare roster?

 

[6xChamps]

Colgate up 14 at the half at BC. Love it.

Still up late in the second. Maybe having a close game with Colgate wasn’t as bad as many thought. They’re 2-0 since we played and BC still isn’t a tourney team but they’re not nearly as bad as they have been in the past.

Just my honest basketball evaluation - I would take Tremont over Gilbert due to Tremont being a much better shooter and decision maker/passer. Gilbert is probably better on defense when he tries to be.

I would take Tremont if he wants to be a team player. If he wants to dominate the ball and take most of the shots, I'd take Gilbert. If he wants a bribe or some other unethical or illegal inducement, I'd rather have Terence Samuel. And I don't like Samuel's game.

My guess is Tremont saw little of anything that might have changed hands.

Good Lord, Chaminade not only won but smoked Cal, I missed that one ...

As I sometimes say during a particular crap storm in life, "it could always be worse."

 

[superjohn]

Tremont Waters has 18 of LSU's 22 points and has assisted on their other 2 field goals. Banging threes from way beyond NBA range.

 

[JimHurley]

Tremont might've been the best guard on the roster this year. Kid is incredible.

Good ole providence down 2 with 40 left

Sorry.....

Unreal finish in Providence game to beat Belmont. Belmont is always tough. NC State up 4 on Arizona late second half.

 

[awfuldan]

Arizona about to lose to NC State. Amazing.

I'd say it gives me hope that we can beat AZ, but looking at their front line, I just don't know how it could be possible.

 

[tcf15]

Braxton Beverly with 20 for NC State.

 

[jbdphi]

USF beats Howard (thank goodness) and Cincy steamrolling an undefeated Wyoming team.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Bilas just compared Tremont to Shabazz

 

[tcf15]

lol Tremont fouled on a 3. Hit two and intentionally missed the 3rd, got the rebound and fouled again trying to put it back up, and then made two more free throws. Never seen that before, especially from a freshman.
