The other Ball brother who isn't very good was arrested in China for shoplifting :laugh:

Huge loss for UCLA. Gelo got over 2 million views in less than a week on his last highlight video. Can't see any UCLA video getting those types of views with him suspended.

They should be more worried about him possibly getting locked up for years in a Chinese prison.

 

[Arrogate]

He isn't that good. I hope he declares for the draft.

 

[Arrogate]

Will be interesting to see if lavar gets upset because his son isn't projected to start.

Do you wonder if Steve Alford regrets ever getting involved with that family?

Yeah, he must. Because UCLA totally would've doubled their wins from 15 to 31 last year with Bryce Alford running the show.

Two interesting games on Tuesday with Duke v MSU and UK v Kansas. Doesn't mean much this early, but worth watching.

Duke lands the #1 recruit for the 3rd yr in a row. Giles never got to live up to the potential bc of injury, but Bagley looks the part. This kid is already said to be better than Wiggins as a HS Sr.

I think the Duke/MSU game will be a really good game. I think UK will have their hands full with KU. KU will just be too much this early in the season.

These games just don't mean much this early.

Time to fire Cal I guess. The college game has passed him by

OSU football fans = UK bball fans. FWIW, his godfather is Steve Nash and pushed him towards playing for Coach K.

If Zion ever got in shape it could be scary how good he could be.

I think UK loses by about 12 tonight

Kansas will likely win another B12 title, get a #1 seed and still fail to make the FF. They choke every single year they're supposed to make a run.

 

[Arrogate]

It's the Bill Self special

 

[Arrogate]

Bagley injured his eye.

Marlin's Man in attendance.

Allen is so good if he can keep himself from going crazy.

MM is such a pimp

Except he looks even more ridiculous wearing a visor and baseball jersey to a Bball game.

 

[Descartes]

Also, not a fan of the new ESPN scoreboards. Way too much going on in terms of the design.

 

[Arrogate]

Agreed.

 

[Descartes]

Love/hate reading the FB comments after every ESPN article. Kansas fans are upset ESPN picked them as only a Sweet 16 team. Maybe if your overrated coach didn't choke (almost) every year in the Tournament, you'd get more respect. As it stands, Self is one of the most disgustingly over praised coaches in any major sport. Who gives a damn about 13 straight B12 titles when you can't get to the FF with loaded teams?

 

[Arrogate]

Surprised the game was close, especially because of the 18 offensive rebounds they had and Kentucky had 18 turnovers to their 11. However they did have an ugly shooting night, 35% as a team. Not sure if that was because of UK's defense, an off night, or combo of the two.

 

[jtk]

Coach K may actually use more than 6 guys on a regular basis this season. This may be his best team he's ever had, based solely on the level of talent he has.

Good kickoff last night for college hoops. Guess we can't give the national championship to Michigan State just yet.

Not a Grayson Allen fan or Duke fan, but I'm so happy for this kid. He's had a difficult time controlling his emotions on the court. And I'm not blaming anyone, it's his fault and he needs to own it and I believe has. But I just like having kids stay in college for 4 years. Yes, he could have gone pro, he'd be playing in the D-leage or overseas and making more than he does at Duke, but there is VALUE to graduating and playing 4 years in college that simply has gone away. Our society is all about monetary gain. Go get paid. I'm so glad this kid came back to school.

[Neopolitan]

The only reason he stayed in college is because he has a shi* game for the NBA. If he would have thought he'd be a lottery pick last year, he'd be gone. He's also one of the dirtiest players in college basketball in recent memory, and from most accounts a spoiled brat.
