NCAA Hoops 2018-2019

After all, you do have UK and Duke playing on Tuesday night, so it is time.

Any predictions out there?

IU faithful seem to think the Hoosiers are going to be pretty good. Langford has a lot of hype around him, guy was named pre-season all-Big 10 by the sportswriters and he hasn't played a game yet.

With grown man / Stanford grad transfer / two-time first-team all-Pac12 player Reid Travis joining a few returning sophomores and a gang of talented freshman on the roster, Kentucky looks like a cross between its 2012 and 2015 teams and will win its 9th national championship next April.

and everyone else is scared

Zion is an alien.

His first game highlights are insane.

I hear some tall guy named bol bol is supposed to be playing for one of the local teams. Sounds interesting.

Manute Bols son!

zion is the most charismatic college player since....... idk

Suns are gonna get him

lol poor zion

hi i just learned of zion my goodness what a treat he will be 2 watch

hes like larry johnson with vince carter hops

amazing touch feel creativity confidence and can jump high

really hope he figures out how to shoot

been watching his clips for a couple years and he played in a small time high school league just dunking on tiny children all day lol

*also played aau and all the elite camps so it was no question that he cld hang w the big boys

really hope he figures out how to shoot

such a common theme

he's 30 pounds heavier than larry johnson was

also, holy shit

it doesnt make sense that someone built like him can jump that high

Please cast Zion in the Space Jam remake. He is an alien.

i still wonder about zion size wise for the NBA but his athleticism and playmaking skill are reminiscent of ben simmons, but he's far more polished of a player

hes like larry johnson with vince carter hops

yeah I was thinkin LJ for a comparison too. Partly cause Zion just gives off 90s vibes, maybe it's just the haircut.

what if he dropped like 50 lbs would he be able to dunk from the 3 point line or...

ha. He carries his weight so well, reminds me of LeBron in that regard. Looks so light on his feet.

true. i mean look at this sequence from 2:24-2:35

Zion 27/16/6 blks/4 asst

he's p good. he should be in the nba right now making nba money. instead he is helping duke, which is bad.

better than helping carolina

carolina is two whole states tho

both are bad

i dunno, petey pablo is from north carolina.

imagined a duked themed version of raise up and repulsed myself

imagined coach k sitting on a chair and repulsed myself

imagined coach k saying "leadership" in the most nasally voice possible and took to the hills

Late in a loss to Nichols College, Fitchburg State's Kewan Platt hit Nate Tenaglia with a right elbow. He has been suspended indefinitely and banned from campus. https://t.co/51qbaTl5oJ pic.twitter.com/BgUBu7Y4wP

I've never seen anything like that playing pickup, but def have been on receiving end of guys using the pretext of a basketball game to get away with assault.

Unless Tenaglia was race-baiting Platt, I can't imagine what else would come close to justifying that hit.

yikes villanova

If coach k can just get this scrappy bunch to buy in

sure, they possess the raw ability -- they can jump over the backboard and make every shot. but are they willing to be molded, by careful application of polish discipline, into champions?

yeah simmons is his best modern comp but style wise and even moreso attitude wise he's got a lot of barkley in him. insane

he's now 32-for-39 from the field in three games ffs

I just did the math and turns out that's really good

The raised floor is bad cos it just makes me think of the bench having a direct line of site to that Kevin Ware injury...

Lol at culver pulling up with 8 seconds left and then Virginia choking it away

Terrible play call. TTU definitely should’ve gotten something better with its last two shots than two Culver heroball heaves

Not even one screen on that last play lol

Barring an unexpected event, or an accelerated timeline, the Big East is expected to formally announce UConn’s return to the conference in New York City on Thursday, a source tells @CBSSports.

this is messed up: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/floridas-johnson-critical-stable-condition-collapsing-court/

I feel like this should be the only thing in sports anyone is talking about right now. This kid is in a medically induced coma now.

i am having a hard time with this one honestly trying to avoid it
