That's crazy..... He's tried and true converted Bammer. If he's gone and publicly saying he didn't leave all these rumors are absolutely true.




And I'm here for all of it!

The tide continues to fall.

Who said we would struggle with ETSU? Think we had it backwards…struggled with UNCA and demolished ETSU.

It was me, im a bit dyslexic lol


Nah, on a real note, etsu scored 55 runs this past weekend so I expected a harder game

**I probably should have put Kareem in my top 12 but I hate the Lakers and I was already mad at myself for who I put on the bench. LA has had some great players though.





******* just catching after I posted this.

GO BASE-VOLS

Could you imagine those older guys being able to take 4 steps at a time and not having to worry about hand checking and taking a forearm shot in the back every time they backed someone or posted up? I don't know who I'd take off your list but I'd have to find a spot for Dominique somewhere. I was a Celtic fan like you but always loved 'Nique. Your list is about what mine would look like.

It's going to be 64 teams by 2030.

And in a 32 team league of the most powerful P2 teams...

I'll take 'psychopath' for $100 Alex.

That Drinkwitz was yelling at the Tennessee bench is true. Mizzou announcer on the network was actually bragging on air about Drinkwitz being that low class.

Zero chance Zakai said those words. It's RGW...

It's like playing poker with beginners.

There's no logic or skill behind their decisions, so you're sort of lost guessing what's coming next from them.

This team is built for Omaha! Natty incoming

I think its more of a case of an immature teen trying to pull a prank that he doesn’t fully realize how dangerous what he did was

Agreed.

I felt the same way when I played. Was a lot more comfortable against mid-upper 80s than junk ball and low to mid-70s. Because that’s what I saw more frequently

OmahAtlaNix.

3 championships coming in 2024. Being conservative. I'd take that bet.

I see that sources continue to indicate that Saban’s meddling is causing real problems with Alabama’s new staff. Apparently the long-time announcer was fired after he was caught in the middle in an argument between Saban and Deboer during a staff meeting and took Saban’s side. Things are getting really heated in Tuscaloosa!

Not sure I'm buying this rumor-- why the F would Saban be at a staff meeting? He's not the coach... And the bigger point is Saban and Deboer are already arguing??? If this is true and Deboer is either forced to let him in or is just letting him in, then that place is gonna burn down quickly. No wonder Inge left...

I wouldn't have believed it, or rather I should say I would be skeptical..... But this latest Gold situation, and the way it's going down along with other coaches leaving with weeks.

There's something unhealthy going on in that program right now.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Our Achilles heel is that we have too many droughts and lazy play. Won’t even get to the sweet 16 if you play like that in the tournament

It is not "lazy" play...you don't get anywhere near a top 5 defense with "lazy" players...that is always a dumb criticism when leveled at Rick Barnes teams.

I do think they get "unfocused" on offense sometimes, but it doesn't have anything to do with effort..it is a mental thing in my opinion.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Being ice cold from 3 is our Achilles heel.

We haven’t lost a game while shooting at least 33% from deep. 5-6 in the 11 games we shot under 33% from deep.

And that has nothing to do with effort...if anything it might be tied to how much energy and focus we expend on defense.

Yeah very hard to imagine this is going on behind the scenes... I just can't believe Saban would be at a staff meeting... If he is, then he's still the head coach and Deboer is just his little biotch...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

HTF is that school so bad at basketball?
Recruit inner-city Chicago

Memphis used to just recruit Memphis kids, and were better then.

I don't know...they used to be a perennially good team under old man Meyer.

Hate that but funny exchange.

Loved this post from Trey back in the day.
