Drew Pember was 4/6 from the field and 10/11 from the line for 20 points and had 5 rebounds 3 blocks and 2 steals. They lost by 2. Got killed on the offensive glass

Drew always had a high upside. Point guard his freshman year who grew and adjusted to each of his levels as he progressed. The beard makes him look 24.

No, they are not likely to finish 2nd in the sec. Try 7th. They have played the weakest start to the SEC schedule of anyone. The 3 bottom feeders.

Kentucky will not finish that low. They may have been bottom feeders but they had 20+ point leads on all of them I think. The worst they finish is 4th.

They need to stack up good wins. If we relied on close losses to good teams, Buzz Peterson would have made the Big Dance.

You aren't going to make the Big Dance if you have 0 Quad 1 wins.

Our fan base is casual on hoops knowledge I question if coaches here would just be better off scheduling cupcakes? Could’ve dodged Villanova and Texas Tech, entered commence play 11-0 and be sitting at 13-3 currently well on our way to 22+ wins.

Glad to see the kid having some success. Who knows...if he stays healthy and gets stronger he could end up getting at least a shot in the G-league down the road.

Pretty wild!

Arbitrator: UConn improperly fired coach Ollie

The Huskies were placed on probation for two years and Ollie was sanctioned individually for those violations, which occurred between 2013 and 2018.

Parenteau said the arbitrator's ruling shows that those NCAA sanctions were "erroneous and unfounded."

"This arbitration clearly established -- after 33 days of hearings and the testimony and cross examination of actual witnesses under oath -- that Kevin Ollie did not violate the NCAA rules that were used to justify the draconian sanctions imposed on him,'' Parenteau and co-counsel William Madsen said in a statement. "The arbitrator correctly found that there was no just cause to terminate Kevin Ollie's employment as the head coach of an NCAA basketball team.''

UConn said the ruling stated only that UConn should have waited for the NCAA's decision before firing Ollie and said it strongly disagrees with that decision, saying it did not have "the luxury of waiting more than a year before terminating Ollie for the misconduct the university was aware he had engaged in.''

Ollie’s case was a little different. It got to arbitration because he was part of some union that you can join, I guess, when you are an employee at UConn. I would say no other coach is part of any union. The arbitrator’s decision had to do with the collective bargaining agreement that is only agreed upon when a union is involved.

I’m pretty sure the opinion also acknowledged that Ollie committed violations and was just terminated too early.

IMO, a regular contract (like Pruitt’s) would turn out vastly different.

Memphis is down 9 at home to SMU w 7 to play. Missing that game is going to end up being inconsequential as bad as Memphis is. What a shame
