Nkamhou is number 75 for about 5 games a year. Rest of the games he is about 500

There's an article (paywall) in the athletic about Vandy missing out on an SEC hoops title due to their fans hurling tennis balls at UF player Dwayne Schintzius, earning a tech with one second to play that allowed UF to tie and ultimately win their game. I had never heard about this before, but am curious if others recall that.

‘Unforced error’: Who threw the tennis ball that cost Vanderbilt an SEC championship?

One second remained. The game was seemingly over. But then chaos ensued. So what really happened at Memorial Gym on Jan. 25, 1989.

Vandy had a strong program at the time and the Commodores were considered giant killers especially playing at home. I remeber how angry the Vandy fans were at the time. They said it wasn;t even a vandy fan that threw the tennis balls. I cant read the article so I don't know if it mentions that. Schintzius was a monster and I seem to remember tennis balls being thrown at him before in othe SEC games. SEC hoops were a lot of fun back then even to me as a little kid.

Not sure who Scott Daughtry is but this man is out here catching some strays. Whole team cooked him.

Well at the very least, Tyndall clearly didn't make him go to class

It’s on the Big10 Network at 3:30 Sunday afternoon.

Interesting. I didn’t watch the game so idk how much they were each playing their main guys. We play Illinois at home this year, Kansas maybe in Hawaii

Both teams' best players played hard for an entire game. It was nothing like a NFL preseason game. Their crowd was in March mode. Home standing hostile crowd. Went away with disappointment and hard feelings

I’d consider the proverbial “left testy”, might not that big a loss anymore at my age!

Where did the JJJ hate thread go? I was interested in the OP's postgame assessment of how disappointing James was.

Weak competition. Doesn’t show up for games that matter. Blah blah.

Something like that.

Not willing to say on a public forum.

Maybe the mods are going to push back on TROLLS (Rule #6) and DISREPECTING PLAYERS (Rule #4). I had several posts disappear in the JJJ thread but I’m more than happy to lose them if it means that that nonsense won’t be tolerated. It can be a special season. Shutting up the board idiots would be a welcomed enhancement.

I think he got mad when I pointed out that 95% of his posts were shi++ing on players and/or coaches.

Absurd how deep and talented we are for a guy like Cameron Carr to more than likely ride the bench this season.

Kim English tied for first in athletic poll of first year coaches who will make the biggest impact.

College basketball predictions: Which first-year coach will have biggest impact?

Who can have engineer a major turnaround like Jerome Tang or Dennis Gates? Besides Rick Pitino, that is.

Kim English​

English turned 35 last month. His head coaching CV is a 34-29 record and no postseasons in two years at George Mason. Some might wonder how he’s already in the big chair at a Big East program. But English just has a way of impressing people. From Brian Hamilton’s story this summer:

“English got in front of Providence athletic director Steve Napolillo and wowed him. ‘First five minutes,’ Napolillo says, ‘I was like, ‘This is my guy.’’ He exchanged scripture passages with Providence president Rev. Kenneth Sicard. And he received an unsurprising endorsement from Rick Barnes, who once upon a time coached at Providence and called his former Tennessee assistant ‘a rising star in the business’ in a conversation with Napolillo. English officially had the job just three days after (Ed) Cooley departed, but unofficially even before that.”

English still has to prove himself as a head coach, but unlike others on this list, he inherited an NCAA Tournament-caliber team that didn’t need a complete roster overhaul. Potential All-America forward Bryce Hopkins is back, as is junior guard Devin Carter. Top-50 recruit Garwey Dual stayed on board after Cooley bolted for Georgetown, and English brought in a few of his top players from George Mason, including 6-foot-9 senior Josh Oduro, who averaged 15.6 points and 7.9 rebounds while earning first-team All-Atlantic 10 honors. Providence was picked by the league’s coaches to finish seventh in the Big East, so success is not guaranteed. But things are set up well for English to fire up Friars fans in Year 1.

Happy to see that. I feel like I read from someone on this board who is not somebody who makes stuff up that English had burned some bridges at Tennessee. I hope I’m misremembering that

I vaguely recall something along those lines but I don’t think I put much stock in it, for whatever reason
