damn, this game

malik fuckin munk

auburn/uconn was comical uconn improbably forced ot and lost on a 3 by danjel purifoy (who was 0-9 fg when he made it)

uconn was so thin on ballhandlers cuz adams left injured, rodney purvis had to do way to much and had 20 pts on 5-22 shooting (1-13 from 3pt)

okay i know adams is out but wow is uconn bad

down 36-12 at halftime, shooting 3-for-21 (14.3%), went over eight minutes without scoring

sub in the womens team imo

damn @ lonzo ball

ucla has options for days, v deep

ONIONS

super sick gtown alleyoop dunk

uconn blew a 14 pt lead in like 3 mins

they are bad

Lonzo Ball shoots like Shawn Marion

i know pitt isn't *good* -- kenpom has them no. 64 -- but one doesn't really expect them to get beat by 55 at home

vote to name providence's secondary mascot 'dog shammdog'

crazy comeback win at home for kansas against w virginia, were down by 14 with 3 minutes left in 2nd half.

how is bill walton still paid money to talk about basketball

a no-cut no-trade contract?

is he really worse than vitale?

Why do people dislike Bill Walton calling basketball games? Stop taking everything so seriously

I'd rather have bill walton calling 80% of NBA games than hearing Mike Breen fake laughing 75 times

bill was a lot more interesting as a vegetarian hippie with radical politics than he is now.

BANG tho xp

None of my favorite Bill Walton broadcasting moments had anything to do with those things

Bill Walton and Kevin Harlan are without question the best ever at calling bad games, of which there are many

i wouldn't have pegged matt as a walton fan. vitale is really bad too. i thought walton was fine 15 years ago doing the nba, but i can't listen to him for more than 30 seconds now.

The only time I disliked Walton is when he called games with Snapper Jones and they spent half the game flirting

From the 2017 DRAFT thread, but needs to be said again:

ban college hoops. revamp the d league and pay these kids.

do whatever is worst for Grayson Allen imo

i.e. cancel Hawaii Five-0

johnny crunch are you at this memphis-central florida game

because no one else is

no but i will be at cincy/Tulsa & Houston/uconn

ecu/temple yesterday looked really desolate on tv

btw i have really gd seats to that xp session cash me courtside howbow dah

i'm sure there'll be more people for uconn, but you could have bought rafter seats and walked down to courtside for these early games

gd win by uconn even if cincy works them tmorrow

God this is horrible

What channel is this on?

ESPN 2

she was clearly just raising her arm up to reach for the ball lol, wtf is going on

huh, there was nothing on the espn graphic about hands to the face?

Thanks got it

w....t......f.......

wow terrible play chong

Wow

nice shot

damn

they say that all good things must end some day

omg that block

block / tko

if i hadnt known what happened and only gauged it by how karnowski is reacting on the bench id think hed been.....pepper sprayed?

zags playing well

scar can't miss

officials are giving SC a big boost with a string of questionable calls and no-calls, imo

RIP ducks. They had 8 or 10 chances in the last 6 minutes that bounced off the front of the rim. I gotta think tired legs. They pushed the Tarheels hard. Couldn't get over that last hump.

This is the best article I have read on the coach changes at IU. As an IU grad, it's pretty dead on.

patrick ewing to georgetown!

def seems like he's earned this shot

some good d but lotta misses this half

the finals have really suffered since the best players jump up to the NBA after a year or two. still kind of fun, but not especially good hoops.

zags execution in the last two minutes was horrendous if i'm putting it generously.

that was a horrendous game

gonzaga put their guy who had just re-injured his ankle into to two iso situations in the most critical possessions of the game

that was a horrendous game

Zags big dude got expooooosed. College bball is bad.

sub big country

@AlexRoseNews
North Carolina lawmakers file bill that would pull #UNC + #NCState from @theACC if #ACC boycotts the state again after #HB2 fallout.

mike krzyewski a bitch

*krzyzewski, point still stands

corruption in college basketball? shocking stuff

damn, they got the rifleman

louisville friend convinced death penalty on the way

never happen

or maybe

https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa-needs-give-louisville-basketball-death-sentence-bombshell-allegations-prove-correct-181930063.html

I'd definitely believe this could just be the start. There has been shoe contract/AAU shenanigans happening for 30+ years. I'm sure eventually something with the Nike schools is to come. There has been allegations around the Nike/AAU for decades but nothing ever happened.

Then again, North Carolina got off pretty much with nothing considering how much academic fraud their sports programs were doing.

I'd figure something will happen with football next.

penn state football and carolina both got off easy, but i don't think those investigations involved the feds?

(the former should have been burned to the ground and had its fields salted)

at a certain point, though, there's so much money involved that it will be worth it for schools to end the charade and leave the ncaa -- unless they're too afraid to so blatantly profit off unpaid athletes

According to sources, Tom Jurich was asked to fire Rick Pitino, refused, both were fired

daamn

pay the players

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/20848092/louisville-cardinals-basketball-coach-rick-pitino-coach-2-federal-complaint-source

Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino, who has been placed on unpaid administrative leave amid a federal investigation into fraud and corruption, is the "Coach-2" who played a role in funneling money to a recruit, a source confirmed to ABC News on Thursday.

According to court records, Christian Dawkins, the former agent for ASM Sports who was charged in both parts of the college basketball case, told the cooperating witness, Marty Blazer, that he helped funnel $100,000 to the family of recruit Brian Bowen "at the request of a coach," identified as "Coach-2."

CBS first identified Pitino as "Coach-2" on Thursday.

Court records also said Adidas executive Jim Gatto "spoke directly with Coach-2 multiple times in the days before [Bowen] publicly committed" to Louisville.

During a meeting in a hotel room in Las Vegas on July 27, which was recorded by video cameras placed in the room by the FBI the day before, Dawkins, Jonathan Brad Augustine (the director of a Florida-based AAU program) and an undercover agent discussed how to pay $100,000 to the family of Bowen, a highly recruited player from LaPorte, Indiana, who had recently committed to play for Louisville, which has a shoe and apparel contract with Adidas.

Because two Adidas employees involved in the scheme were having difficulty getting the money, they wanted to funnel the payments through Augustine's AAU program, which was sponsored by Adidas. At one point during the conversation in the hotel room, according to FBI documents, Augustine allegedly said, "No one swings a bigger [expletive] than [Coach-2] at [Adidas]" and added "all [Coach-2] has to do is pick up the phone and call somebody, [and say], 'These are my guys; they're taking care of us.'"

pay the players

― Spottie

Gophers vs Alabama was weird, after entire Alabama bench is ejected, they have eligible players which got whittled down to three. damn near got the lead back playing 3 vs 5 on the floor, just insane game

Yeah, I would have liked to see that one.
