nobody cares about the ooc schedule of kansas state (of all schools) or duke.

 

coach k looks like a 10-year old awkwardly groping an xbox on christmas day in that picture.

 

 

Nobody cares, as in YOU don't care. Evidenatally SOMEONE (ME) cares enough to post it. Why do you have to be such a prick?

sorry, i didn't mean to say nobody cares. one person cares about kansas state's ooc (and i'm including the person who posted it originally), and two people care about duke's and one of them is the reincarnation of mizzou as a duke fan.

Well, this is a college basketball thread, and it was posted to maybe generate some college basketball discussion... At least that's what I thought postings in these threads were supposed to do. Maybe I'm wrong.

[Magnetic Curses]

and this is the only kind of discussion you're gonna get. so get discussing.

Suck it, rest of the country:

 

Most exciting press release I've received in a long time: "Gus Johnson to Double Big Ten Network Workload."

 

He'll call 20 Big Ten conference games and 3 Big Ten tournament games.

 

Thanks, MSG.

[SouthSideRyan]

Does that mean 20 in-conference games? I barely recall him doing any.

Oh hell yes!

Yeah, in-conference games.

Twenty of Johnson’s 23 assignments will be regular-season conference matchups or Big Ten Tournament games. His first conference game is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 27, when Indiana hosts Penn State at Assembly Hall in Bloomington. Johnson also will handle play-by-play responsibilities during the network’s Super Wednesday doubleheaders beginning in January, as well as selected Tuesdays and Thursdays during the conference season and all three of the network’s Big Ten Tournament games.

 

Not sure why they say 20 of 23 will be conference matchups or BTT games when it later says he'll be doing all 3 BTT games they carry.

 

I don't recall him doing quite as many games last year. Maybe in the 6-8 range.

 

Regardless, it's a lot more Gus.

[SouthSideRyan]

It's just their way of saying 20 conference/3 non-conference

Ben McLemore is down to Mizzou and Kansas. I'm not holding my breath, but at least we've got a shot.

 

By all accounts, he wants to go to KU, but his mom and hangers-on want him at MU. Never hurts to have mom on your side, but it doesn't guarantee anything (Beal's family wanted Beal at KU.) I think KU will snag him. At least I hope. We need him bad.

How do you need him badly? You just got the number one player in America last year and have pretty good depth in the backcourt.

Because if Selby gets cleared, there's a good chance he'll shoot to be 1 and done. Also a chance Mc Morris goes pro. Reed and Morningstar (blah) will be gone. So We'll be lean on scoring.

 

Elijah Johnson, Tyshawn Taylor, Royce Woolridge, Travis Releford, and Naadir Tharpe don't inspire a lot of fear, although EJ and Taylor could be good. Hard to say, especially w/ EJ.

I still think a lot of KU fans are panicking. All I am hearing now is how Self isn't getting it done on the recruiting trail. Many have said that Ben is the lynch pin. If MU beats them for him they are going to go into panic mode big time. I don't get why. Self has always got the job done.

Morningstar is finally leaving? Nooooooooooooooo

[illiniguy]

Morningstar is finally leaving? Nooooooooooooooo

He's like a month younger than Deron Williams.

[Chisoxillini]

Rumor per Illinois premium scout board is that Randle is leaning towards picking Stanford because he loves their med school program.

Sad thing is, you're not joking.

 

I only referenced him because as average as he is, he has some experience. At the end of the season, we'll have very little experience on the perimeter, and we'll have no guys with a reputation for being scorers, unless Selby or Marcus come back.

I'm not panicking in the long term. I'm confident Self will continue to build championship contending teams. But I'll panic about our team's short-term prospects (the next season or two) if we don't get McLemore. We need another scorer for next year.

I know I coulnd't believe it when I read his birthday on one of the programs they gave out at Late Night.

1. Why are you posting premium information? People pay for that.

2. Scout blows.

3. Its pretty apparent Randle wants to be at Stanford, and would be if it weren't for the distance. Truth is no one will know where he's going until he says where he is going.

Man, that's too bad. It will be his loss. But, I can't fault a kid for wanting a degree from Stanford.

If it's med school he's interested in, he should go to Illinois for undergrad and Stanford for med school. pre-med doesn't matter that much anyway. :)
