Vandy tried very hard to give the game away but the Rick Barnes after Christmas fall remains on schedule.

How much longer will the wins over Coach K protect Hubert "i'm proud my wife is white" Davis?

Arkansas gets blown out by Mizzou. Gonna be tough for them to find many wins in the SEC.

We're going to have to talk about the great job Pitino's doing at St John.

Huge bounce back win at UK. Gotta stop being so inconsistent and play like that every game.

yall played great, it didn't feel like a bad loss. I still HATE how shyt and inconsistent SEC referees are; additionally I think KY has the worst home-calls of any blue blood team. KY is a bit battered and bruised, they need this bi-week real bad.

I predicted Ark would only get like 17 wins for the season, Cal has no clue how to structure rosters with players that fit together. he just throws shyt and hopes it works, they paid 1mil for that FAU guard and he has been absolute trash lmao

Is Cooper a one and done?

Can't decide if Cooper Flagg is extremely great or the ACC is extremely weak this year

they say he's gonna be the #1 pick

Both imo. The bag is there, athleticism, his defense is already really good. The dude probably has the high floor + great ceiling combo that would allow him to be a top 5 pick in any draft

IU's NIL collective spent big money this offseason, Woodson bout to be outta there

There’s a lot of programs (not all) that’d be best served following the Pearl-Auburn model. Our kids don’t make a lot of money (bc we’re broke) and many of them, D2 kids. They still got that hunger

I think it’s hard to be a $2m player and really GAF imo. Esp if you have nothing to play for like Ballo. The kid is G-League bound for 2 years and then Serbia. For him, this is all just gravy rn

why Theo acting like Hubert not responsible for roster construction, he had plenty of time to plan a transition from Bacot, that nikka was there for 5 years

Hubbard alone is real evidence for why sub 6 foot guards have been phased out the league (especially score first guards). Kid is a gigantic negative recently
