Super Trump saves the UCLA basketball players.

Trump owes China a favor for doing what they were going to do next week

Pick your title

At the Charleston Classic this weekend to watch Clemson and Dayton.

We are about 7 rows up behind the Clemson bench on the aisle. I'm the lone red shirt in among the Clemson fans.

My Tennessee friends tried warning me. I still think this team is young and without Porter Jr. obviously but a few of my Mizzou friends with final four dreams in their minds are about to see the ceiling of a fantastic recruiter when he isn't really that great of a coach. (See Martin UT, Martin Cal, Romar Washington, Romar SLU...)

mauchow · 11-17-2017, 09:42 AM

Wisconsin looked young last night but had a lead w a few minutes to go. With two minutes to go the game was tied and then Xaviers experience and Wisconsin inexperience showed up. Wisconsin legitimately looks to be an 8-10 seed this year (unlike last year). Lots of ups and downs for them this year.

I agree we are very young and it's really early and Utah is no slouch. Now, we are not even close to the bigs yet like Kentucky.. but I think this team will really grow this year.. unlike the past few seasons. Having a healthy Porter Jr. will also help a TON.

Dad's a great role model. What an ass.

Quote:

LaVar Ball told ESPN he was happy to have his son back, and also seemed to downplay his alleged crime.

"As long as my boy's back here, I'm fine," he said. "I'm happy with how things were handled. A lot of people like to say a lot of things that they thought happened over there. Like I told him, 'They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.' I'm from L.A. I've seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses."

All three players have been suspended from the UCLA basketball team indefinitely.

What's a little thievery, right?

Dad is an utter garbage excuse for a human being ... but we already knew that.
And I seriously doubt the apples are falling far from the tree.

Not looking good for the home team.

Plus they have to carry Porter Sr. on the staff for another season too.

Young Drachma · 11-21-2017, 03:56 PM

The brother that reclassified isn't bad and got a bit of run, I guess he'll move up the seating chart.

panerd · 11-21-2017, 08:23 PM

Yeah this team will still double/triple last years win total but porter jr was the big hual. Kind of a look at what next year was going to look like after porter left for the NBA a year early. Some mizzou fans delusionally think porter jr will return next year. Hoping for NCAA but at least we are winning games. Already a 37.5% of the way to last seasons win total!

Alabama just had their entire bench get ejected in the 2nd half for leaving the bench during an altercation on the floor. Nice work, Avery!

Edit: One of the five players left has 4 fouls with 13 minutes to go.

sovereignstar v2 · 11-25-2017, 05:41 PM

And that dude just fouled out. 4 players for 'Bama with 11:37 left.

Edit: Bama player hurt, down to 3 with 10:28 left.

JonInMiddleGA · 11-25-2017, 05:55 PM

I thought, in the absence of five players, players who foul out are left in the game but any personal fouls against them also count as technical fouls?

sovereignstar v2 · 11-25-2017, 05:58 PM

So hilarious, two Gophers just shadow Alabama's best player, Sexton, on defense. He is just gassed.

tarcone · 11-25-2017, 06:06 PM

Why does Alabama have so few players? I know its a football school, but doesnt the basketball program get any money?

sovereignstar v2 · 11-25-2017, 06:07 PM

Wow, the Gophers have been terrible since they got the 2 man advantage.

tarcone · 11-25-2017, 06:08 PM

Read back up the thread: the entire bench was ejected for entering the court during a fight.

So Alabama had 3 players on the court and the Gophers(a top 25 team) got outscored? Seriously, how did the Gophers not score every time and how did Alabama even put up points? Very strange.

Maybe this will help

Alabama only down 7 with 4 to go. Might be a Collin Sexton movie in the works if he pulls this off. Minnesota has been going through the motions.

Sexton would finish with 38 points

I guess that Avery Johnson 1-2 zone is a tough one.

Atocep · 11-25-2017, 09:16 PM

Is he under the impression Alabama had been practicing 3v5 for that very moment or something?

CrescentMoonie · 11-25-2017, 09:23 PM

Pretty bad day to be a Bama fan, but probably the best day possible for the basketball team to do that and have it largely ignored.

Izulde · 11-25-2017, 11:03 PM

Brandon McCoy is amazing. Jordan Johnson shows what a terrific, true point guard does for a team, and Shakur Juiston was on fire all night. Things got scary in the second half, but UNLV pulls away for the 101-82 victory over Southern Utah, and we're now 6-0 on the season.

If you'd told me at the beginning of the year we'd start off looking this incredible, even with all the talent infusion, I've have said you were full of shit. Figured there'd be some chemistry kinks to work out. But nope!

Easily the best team we've had since the Tark era.

Atocep · 11-26-2017, 11:29 PM

Bob Huggins coached his ass off tonight.

Some of their warts showed up late in the game tonight. They were up 5 with 3-4 minutes left and they started jacking up stupid shots and let UNI come back in win in overtime. Such an obvious talent level disparity so UNI should have lost by 10.

JonInMiddleGA · 12-01-2017, 10:46 PM

GT loses to Grambling at home 64-63 ... by knocking a loose ball into the basket for Grambling.

Yes, Tech just lost on an own goal #smdh

Umm, how does an ACC school lose to Grambling? Josh Pastner wont last long if this happens again.

Yeah, TBH this is the kind of thing I expected more of this year because so much of the roster is new. That said, I'm not too concerned. After all the blowing out of people they've done, letting a non-conference game get away like this is a good wakeup call.

They had such an advantage in the post and the guards just didnt have the patience to get it there. It was surprising considering the point guard that used to play at Milwaukee is such a good passer. I like your team this year, and agree when they play together for awhile they should be peaking around tourny time.

We are already paying two other basketball coaches - I can't see Tech firing anyone soon barring major scandal.

Another ACC school has lost to Drake, Ga. Southern, and Liberty. It might be a long spring.
