It's nice that Braun is a sophomore.

Illinois got bailed out by free-throws with 2 seconds left to take the lead and win.

Think enaruna and Wilson can run the 4and 5?

Offense yes. Defense cover your eyes

That's what they do on defense too.

And 1 for Enaruna...

@msanchez Bennett style means you can knock off Gonzaga as well as lose to yellow-jersey mid-majors that shoot 3-pointers.

Illinois down 3 to Ohio with 2 minutes left. WVU down 7 to WKU.

I'm going to watch Bull Durham for catharsis this weekend I think.

I'd like to see Big Dave take a break dancing class.

I was just thinking his coordination might benefit from boxing or dancing lessons, that's funny.

Agbaji's stroke is really improved. Just looks like a shooter.

I'm not sure how to describe Dave's defense... Boisterous?

I wouldn't mind seeing Harris play today. At least he can handle the ball and play defense supposedly.

Samwise trying to kill Dave there.

We have no identity on offense or defense. Everyone is looking at someone else and expecting them to do something.

If you dunk the ball, you don't have to attempt a lay-up. Points to brain

Lay-up practice on Monday.

Keep playing Wilson. Maybe try Tristan too.

Well we can't get much worse I guess.

We are fortunate to have Marcus.

Dave needs to get a lot better at passing out the post. When he gets the deep ball, he's looking at his feet. He can't see the double- or triple-team coming, so he doesn't pass out and loses the ball a lot when he puts it on the floor. He needs to stop looking at his feet.

Hopefully Thompson starts today.

@BShark And some pretty tough end-of-shot-clock 3-pointers by Gonzaga. We have a lot of room for improvement and all things considered didn't look too bad against a world-beating Gonzaga team. I'm fairly optimistic.

The Dons lost to UMass Lowell River Hawks by 8. Oof

Dave will have some good film on what not to do. Better it happens now.

DOKE COME BACK BABY

Harris not going to play much this season?

I think he got pushed but he still needs to make that.

That charge was atrocious

At some point we should try playing defense.

That is not off Kansas

Shades of Duke last year with these turnovers.

I think we need to play better lol

So Marcus, Agbaji, Braun, Jalen, Mac?

Over whom?

I would feel better about this game if Andrew Nembhard hadn't been cleared for Gonzaga. Still, I think KU can win. Marcus Garrett is going to have to be the clear best player in this game.

lol KState

Last season, Iowa was 5th in offensive efficiency and 97th in defensive efficiency. Their defense has to get better if they want to be an elite team this season.

I agree. They are only separated by 1 point in the poll, though. So basically a tie.

Pretty on-brand for Duke.

From an article I read this morning:

"The federal official whose job is to sign off on President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory and begin the mammoth task of transitioning between presidents has refused to do so, potentially delaying the official transfer of power, The Washington Post reported on Sunday evening.

Emily Murphy, a Trump appointee who heads the General Services Administration, has resisted signing the paperwork that would give Biden and his team access to millions of dollars in transitions funds, as well as official access to government officials and equipment to prepare the incoming administration."

So if this person, Emily Murphy, doesn't sign off, then I guess we just wait until January 20th for Trump to be evicted?

The transition funds are around I think 10 million dollars. Perhaps it's already been looted.

I'm not sure where he goes from here. People really dislike him. And I'm not sure if his fat ass would fit inside of a jail cell.

@Crimsonorblue22 Good call.

@Crimsonorblue22 Hm?

@approxinfinity Fully agreed. And today is almost more of a relief than a celebration. I've already given money to Georgia for the runoff on January 5th. Even if we just get one, it will make 2022 easier and maybe Biden will be able to get more done in the back half of his presidency.

I ordered some celebratory alcohol and wine today. It will be nice to drink because of something positive and not related to fear/anxiety/depression.

I have to keep reminding myself that this is not just good-bye to Trump, but to other favorites like DeVos, Miller, Barr, and the rest of the gang.

Well the first woman vice president anyway. Good for her.

It's early still, but if the trends continue then congratulations to Kamala Harris as the first woman and person of color to become vice president.

Boy, it's sure nice to see all these prominent Republicans breaking silence and condemning the Trump Administration.

Oh. Wait.

As long as we get rid of Feinstein first.

Let's go socialism. Defund the police. I'll be donating money to the democratic cause in Georgia.
