@RockChalkinTexas I was thinking that was the case!
Anyone know off the top of your head where the Kentucky - KU win total is at the moment? I am too lazy to look it up
This game goes on to long and it’s going to mess up my bourbon timing. I could fall asleep at half!
Well my bracket is in flames but damn it is worth it
Oh my oh my Kensucky is going down
Does St. Peter’s have a chant? I would help!
Agreed
Zags tied with 5something left in the first🤣 although it would bust my bracket I would still laugh my ass off
I am in, hoping to avoid a first round flameout!
Wow that wore me out
CB. Comeon
There we go
This needs to go to OT just to make screw with ESPNs duke fetish

Somebody get Fran a tape
Yes!
His momma is thinking about giving him a talking too
I missed the first 5 minutes or so. Any seniors do anything special?
Was that a pass? Btw hi all
CB
I saw Mitch go off the floor holding his chest after Groves put his shoulder into his ribs hard. He never saw the floor again and I am not sure if that was because he was not playing well (he was’t) or if he was hurt. Anyone have any info?
Still on espn?
Wow!!

Short story Garrett waived, is having season ending surgery on wrist, and will be staying with the heat through rehab.
Doke finally got healed enough to play and after starting one game now is in covid protocols. He just can’t get a break.
Sad news, praying for a good recovery
@wissox have you tried a roku or other streaming device connected to your TV. If the tv has an HDMI port, most flat screens do, it is an easy setup and the espn app on my roku works seamlessly with espn+. Much cheaper than a new computer I think I spent $49 on a middle of the road roku and I get the big screen to watch on.
@justanotherfan said in Nervous Christmas... Yin Yang Perspective:
Ochai was due a game like this. He has been playing so well (so far above his previous level) that he was due a bit of regression. Thankfully, we know that Wilson, McCormack and Martin all have more than they have shown so far this year. I hate to see that KJ Adams has fallen out of the rotation, but it is a numbers game and there just aren't enough minutes to go around to everyone that probably could get minutes.
I'm not worried at this point. I think this team will be fine, and if they continue to play at this level offensively, they will be hard to beat.
I am worried about Dave’s game picking up like he did last year. The faster pace is causing him issues and it is not the getting up and down the floor. He is struggling keeping up with the movement of the ball. I rewatched a couple of games and while he obviously has been missing entrance passes it seems like a good share of that is due to not being where he should be and ready for the pass when it arrives. I am concerned that he is at his top end speed wise while the speed around him has increased. I hope I am wrong and his ability to handle the faster ball movement improves soon.
For the past two games Dave has played as poorly as I have seen him. I am not sure who should be getting his minutes but at this point he needs more time on the bench.
I think Braun will start the first few games but unless he has his shot back and plays at a top level constantly he won’t start long.
Wow, looks like I picked a winner!
The one change I would like to see from Dave is on defense. He needs to calm down a bit and stay a bit more focused. An example is his desire to block shots into the upper seats. Dramatic yes, and there is times that is a moral breaker. However in more than one occasion as he went to make the monster block the guy he left received a pass for a layup. When he did get the block it typically went out of bounds off him negating a lot of the benefit.
His defense overall needs work but just staying in control as rim defender would help a lot.

Ref clearly wants us to.lose
I just said that, loudly, to the bar in general. Might have more support if I wasn’t in NC.
And that’s why Mitch is welcome back next year.
Ok forget my first plan put Jalen in for Mitch

Boring announcer crew
I am at a bar and only have calypso music to listen too. Is that better or worse?
Put Mitch at the top their big guy has to cover him even tho his shot isn’t great. That should let the guards drive at will.
Wow tied for 1st in the group. Last time that will be seen I am sure!

How do they handle the chance of a false positive? Not saying that is likely but it happens.
@KirkIsMyHinrich in about 30 seconds this half
Bill let the air out of their sneakers at half?
@Crimsonorblue22 sadly not this trip but last time I was here my wife got court side tickets for my birthday and I was dressed for the occasion
Off topic I am on a job in Philly. When the folks here found out I was a Kansan they just went nuts about Embiid. He is damn near being worshiped around here.
Oh wow just got that Duke is done for the year. 🤣
