Can't Furphy some how get Nil money? Remember oscar t. Pronunciation shibway got a lot at Kentucky. Can never remember how to spell his name.
Not sure but don't think he can. Thought I saw farmer or Bshark post on this can't remember exactly but seeing as how he is from abroad --I dunno but don't think so- - -Farmer Help
I see off 247 that Ku picked up another CB prediction for McNeely -- -gives them 3 , threw me off at first also saw that had KU @ 60% & Indiana @ 40 % for him - -First I thought well wait, Indiana is who he just de-committed from, ten realized he could always change his mind and still go back I guess- don't think so but could.
For me though one of those CB'S was predicted by Swain , and his confidence level has really dropped--he did have a 6- - -now he listed down to a 1- -Tells me Swain is not thinking he lands here now.- Pretty telling for me anyways, the other 2 CB'S are from Maryland guys, projecting him coming to KU

Watching a few minutes of Bidunga in the McDs practice scrimmage.
Only saw a few runs up and down the floor. Very springy! Left handed. Quick up the floor. Doesn’t have traditional big man size. At least not compared to a few other guys on the floor.
Legit rim defender , very athletic-- - -still work in progress on offensive but improving
Is Flippy done now, Mr leet me just bulldoze my way through , Couldn't of happened to a better team.
Lol I have one entry still with a 97.9 5 good for- - - - 560,921 the place lmao
I just get this feel that there is going to be in the end A LOT of movement. - -I think fairly good chance Furphy is gone, Very easily Dickinson is gone--Clemance gone--- Mc Dowell gone-- & Jackson gone
If that turns out all of these then Would love to see this come to realization : If we could some how swing McNeely to take Johnny's spot - - Cliff to take Dickinsons spot- - Maybe still get Mayo - -to go with Kugel- -would be solid

Hurley is a good coach, but his face is very punchable - it’s the arrogant, smug way he carries himself I suppose.
Duke Coach is right thee with him for me.
So after reading this seems a bad situation all the way around. One thing right off is, if it's different in where this took place then here in the States. now these two girls Doe, and her 16 yr old friend were with Doe's parents, understand now the question is when I was or one of the times, when in Vegas and gambling no minors were allowed anywhere in the Gambling area , and in this situation the two minores were there in a gambling area with Doe's parents.
I know minor thing , but just curious why or how they were allowed to be thee with being minors, cause yes that's where you have your Achol, served and such. - OK, so this reads that Doe became intoxicated , now if they were with Doe's parents in the gambling area how did Doe become intoxicated in front of her parents ? - -They were allowing this 17 yr old to drink and get drunk in front of them - -while around them ? - - The parents allow Doe and her 16 yr old friend to wander off and be with Popd and his teammate ?
Now don't misunderstand at all but seems like a little bit of lack of parental control / Supervision of these minor girls while in the gambling area. If Doe became intoxicated she was drinking in front of her parents ? The article said she became intoxicated , yes probably she continued to drink after they left and went to Pop's teammates room, but think she started while around the Parents --Pops & Team mate and this Booster. I just don't get why the parents would allow these two to leave them and be around the two players by their selves in that type of environment. - -On top of that you would think after some time the Parents would begin to wonder where the two were - -what did this whole Scenario take place in five minutes - -ten minutes ? -I mean they left with the two players and went to e room, drank some more AND had the sexual intercourse in a five ten minute time frame ? - - -WOW. I know that wasn't the time period but that would be giving the whole experience a better look s to why the Parents become curious were they were. - They had to be gone longer then that for this situation to take place. Going to the room , drinking , and then the sexual intercourse
Having said all this I dunno , I mean got to be presumes innocent until proven guilty BUT sounds pretty bad Issacs could be in some real trouble having sex with minor. -Just a case where if true a College kid/athlete feeling like they are entitled to whatever and taking advantage kinda sick if true and his teammate text Doe's dad and said the things about Issacs Not good.
Not trying to defend Pops at all allI am trying to bring out was that sounds like some bad Parental control/supervision on Doe's parents part that's all. Plus on top of this WHY was Issacs and his buddy allowed in the gambling area and drinking there on top of this ? - -Again in Vegas no kids und 21 are allowed - -might be wrong on those two -- think it's 221, but if not right I know the girls wasn't suppose to be in the gambling area being under 18- just another baad situation including athlees
Nobody now, well seeing as I had them picked in the majority of my brackets I guess I'd have to say U Conn but , not really a team I care for but logical lol
Dam someone tell me Jamaal wasn't worth 4 points - -someone convince me he isn't. - -If Shaad plays Houston wins this game hands down , without a doubt. - -They just had really bad break.
As soon as Shaad went down , you could just feel all of the Hoston's fan base, the players, just got all the life knocked out of them. - - The team looked lost for the biggest majority of the game -they had Cryer , trying to run the offense they missed Jamaal's leadership
Then I got a question. - -Can someone - - anyone please tell me how in the hell can FLIPPY just bull doze flat drive through someone when he has the ball and doesn't get call for the offensive foul ?
You watch him he is either take his off ball forearm and burying it into the defenders waist pushing off with it OR dipping his shoulder and knocking the guy back ten feet , player has perfect defensive positioning and Flip just mauls the guy and nothing. - Oh I forgot -it's Duke and Flip
.
@RockkChalkk said in SO - Who Are You Rooting For?:
I'm rooting for Houston at this point. Cheering on the B12. Agreed, if Houston gets bounced then its anyone except UCONN or Puke.
I'm not interested in the women but hoping for Not Iowa. (I'm on the anti-CC bandwagon).
Not that I care for them but I have U Conn in all most everyone of my brackets as champs. dammit -- --- --I mean they have beaten the last nine opponents by 20 points or more -- just destroying people
got to root for Houston , would love to see them smack the hell out of Puke
Wissox, do you know this kid?-- Didn't travel with the team and didn't play a minute .I guess he was suppose t help Wisconsin good player -Gus, Yelden-- what can you tell us ?

@jayballer67 to be fair I do think Clark is dealing with being under a microscope like no women’s college basketball player before ever has while also dealing with a double standard. Kevin McCullar and Iowa state fans whine to officials way more than her.
I've never seen Kevin act like that towards officials. No way man. She looked like a spoiled rotten crybaby child in those clips. I was embarrassed for her. Genuinely makes me dislike her. That combined with the court storming flop. I am surprised more people haven't turned on her by now. If she wasn't bringing in so much money to the sport she would be blasted by the media. Can't wait for the day we stop hearing about how many half court shots she chucked up and made. Enough.
Makes it hard to watch , every dam time whe sniveling about something - - dam , just play the game for GOD'S sakes

@kjayhawks said in Other bball games:
@benshawks08 for sure and the women don’t change teams near as often at this point you look at Angel at LSU and Caitlin at Iowa. You could argue the women’s have more familiarity and stories other than a whole new team after a year or two.
Had to love it the other night saw a video where Caitlin's dad was in the stands and told Caitlin to shut the hell up , because she was spending so much dam time whining to the officials That basically was what the whole video was about. How Caitlin crying to the officials so much during games that is detracting away from her accomplishments. -Classic Kodak moment seeing her own dad telling her to shut up lmao
I can still remember when it was a thirty two team field and they played a 3rd place game in the NCAA tourney

@Gorilla72 said in Zigging the Zags:
IMHO, schools are teaching a defensive plan of “hack, grab and push” because refs can’t (or won’t) call all of them fouls. Witnes the first half of the last Houston game with over 20 fouls then not many in the second half. Also, the crud that HD had to put up with inside. The players are good enough to play better defense without all the major physicality. It takes away from the game for me. I know KU does some of it but not like what I saw with Houston, BYU, etc.
Let me just say and nothing personal bud, but as a former referee myself let me ask you this. I can tell you that IF the fans wanted the refs could called SOMETHING every single time down the floor , if that's what you want - - - is that the type of game you want to watch ? -A foul or some kind of violation every trip up and down the floor ? -Cause they could do that.
IF they was to do that , then you would have just as many people bitching about it being called that way and complaining about , dam let them play. - -It is really hard for teams to get ANY kind of Rythm , flow to the game if that were to happen.
Now Idealistically in the " Perfect Game " - you would never even know the refs are there - - -BUT that's not happening. With the physicality of today's games and athletes just not happening. - -If you let them play , call it loose then sooner then later - - -somebody gonna get hurt, possibly bad. - -Yet if you call it close then you have John Q Public bitching about letting them play , a no win situation.
When I was officiating - -when we talked with the Captains before tip , we would always tell them move your feet, don't reach , flop or hold - -you all know the game. You do these things - -it's going to get called. -Genral rule, it's a lot better/easier to call it close at the beginning of a game instead of letting it go most of the game and then try to tighten things up in the end of a game. You tell them in the beginning they already know - -you do that it's getting called - -they won't or at least 3/4 of the time don't if they know HOW it's being called.
The Ladies give it a shot. Got it down to 1 then USC hit them with a haymaker. - -Gonna have a huge rebuild this next yr , losing a lot. - -Losing Frankin , Kirksgeiter , losing Ku's all time shot Blocker and big time rebounder. Jackson- -- last time I heard she had 10 points and 17 rebounds. - -I think Mayberry is done- S'Mya Nichols our 5 8 freshman about all we got coming back
They trying but you can just see the talent difference-- only down 9 at the hal though. - - -Turnovers has been a problem for the Ladies all year. you just can't have that in a game like this
Good Grief - - -has anybody seen the Calves & Thighs on our Running back Harry Stewart?
We have some Bruises with Stewart & Hishaw--- they gonna punish some people
@nuleafjhawk said in So Big 12 is what with the future alignment ? -- Whoaaa:
I'm real close to giving up on college sports altogether. I have lots of projects, a big yard, and a boat to go try and catch a fish now and then. "They're" making it too damn complicated to be a fan anymore.
True, gotten to the point with this NIL -- there is no such thing as College sports anymore. With the NIL, it has destroyed the G league, which I was never in favor of either but now with the way with the NIL even the G league can't keep up.
Now seeing in many spots that if & when the ACC implodes---which it is going to implode now seeing /hearing that behind the scenes from what they are saying inside sources that Brett Yormork and Big 12 are or have been having discussions about getting to Have Duke join the Big 12 --
The Commissioner realizes that in order as he realizes that he has to make MORE money in Basketball to facilitate Football, a the Big 12 really has no Name Brand team for football purposes. So in order to try and keep up and for the Big 12 Conference to probably survive needs to be even better in Basketball. - - So now Yormork and the Big 12 have been in discussions about the combination of having Duke & Gonzaga join for Basketball as a package. Hoping if they get Duke to join that will be enough to sway Gonzaga to join the Conference.
Saying that yes while Duke football will neve be great in football , they at least have a respectable football, -- just what's being said-- we shall see, after the ACC implodes anything is possible - Big and SEC won't take them and they don't want to get left out in the cold when the ACC is finished- -could be interesting

Houston plays a bully game, like WVU used to do. I’m surprised they didn’t get away with it tonight.
i don't care who you are ( Not talking about you specifically Gorilla72 ) -but Houston absolutely got screwed on many calls. It was almost like the officials felt they HAD to make a call down the floor. I'm glad they won , representing our Conference, if they need to play bully ball then so be it. Just goes to show People who say basketball is a non contact sport have NO IDEA what they are talking about
I actually think it would be quite interesting to see how U Conn would match up with the # 1 & # 2 ranks defensive teams in the Nation , I think they could give U Conn some trouble
Shead decided to carrt Houston after the officials fouled everyone else out and that's exactly what he was doing until they had to foul Shead out too, Housston having to depend on a fifth yr walkon--Glad Houston still alive

@jayballer67 I'm confused, LSU won the National Championship in baseball last season. They replaced the coach?
It was one of the assistants I think , not the head Coach- -Now I could be wrong but I swear , pretty sure it was an assistant from LSU cause when I saw that at the time I thought whoaaa, we might be onto something
Can't say Grant didn't do his part
@wissox said in Sundays Rd of 32 games:
Just watched the Womens Frozen Four. Badgers lose to Ohio St. Miracle on Ice player Mark Johnson would have won his 8th championship if they'd won. Both teams have 2 championships in lat 4 years. As you can imagine the two teams are intense rivals.
Side note, a daughters classmate from HS transferred to KU from LSU in baseball (why?) and hit for the cycle for the Jayhawks Friday night! Cool stuff.
Probably transferred because if I remember right current head Coach for the KU men, I'm assuming your talking about is now the head Coach at KU.- He has brought in a bunch of new players --I think Ku had the # 1 ranked class from Juco and in the middle teens I think in high School recruiting, showing improvement this year--think he is going to turn them around , maybe not this year but think he is the right Coach. - Again I''m assuming you was talking about the men's baseball and not Womens Softball. If you were then ooops - - -sorry

Rumor is Tang pretty badly wants out of KSU because of the administration. The Nae'Qwan Tomlin situation this season is a big factor in that as the admin basically overruled Tang. The inability to rein the F-KU chants in is also a factor.
I think Tang is likely actively looking at other jobs behind the scenes to get out of Manhattan.
Fitz is saying not sure if there will be a Coaching change or not , but like you said internal issues between the Basket ball program and the AD - -The Basketball feels they are not getting the support from the AD dept.
They have already lost two to the portal, and I'm sure not done yet
They were talking about Drew to Louisville and then Tang to Baylor was what I said or thought I had said. Tang going to Baylor with the religious School. May have said Tang to Louisville by accident - -doesn't matter now though.
How do you let a guy drive the entire baseline and do a loop de loop and throw up some junk and it goes in without a contest ? lol

@approxinfinity said in Zigging the Zags:
Thanks, I agree that the team is quite physical, but that seems to be rewarded in the tournament, and combined with relentless depth it can dictate the terms of the game, like what VCU did to us, or what VCU did to Duke when they had Eric Maynor.
It should be a lot more fun watching Duke get beat up than KU or Wisconsin.
