Yes. UD is a tourney team again this year. McCallum has an NBA level talent. Super smooth at the point, needed to improve his jumper over the offseason, we'll see how he looks today. Doug Anderson can play too. Excited for a little late afternoon bball in the office.
Negative on the D comment. If Beilein decides to run that type of transition game all year (which he won't) then you are going to give up buckets. Most of IUPUI's buckets in the first half came from deep and early in the shot clock. Reminded me a little of North Carolina Roy Williams style bball out there last night.
Cleveland St. is no slouch. Good game tonight
Ehhhh. Give him time, he's been battling a leg injury for a couple months. GRIII deserves every bit of it though.
Amaker's got his guys playing right now

Looking forward to seeing how KU does against State tonight. Not much to take away really because this is the second game of the year and we looked horrible against Kentucky last year at this same time frame but my ex went to State so its personal, lol.

SPORTS NEWS FROM LOS ANGELES AND BEYOND
By Baxter Holmes
November 13, 2012, 12:24 p.m.
The family of highly touted UCLA freshman Shabazz Muhammad released the following statement exclusively to The Times on Tuesday regarding the NCAA's decision Friday to declare Muhammad ineligible for a violation of amateurism rules:
"Shabazz’s family is very distressed by the NCAA’s recent decision and the manner in which it was announced. Shabazz and his family have been cooperating with the NCAA for well over a year. Earlier this year, the NCAA asked Shabazz and his family not to reveal to each other or to the press facts related to the NCAA investigation. Despite the many untrue rumors which were circulating on the Internet, Shabazz and his family dutifully did what they were told. In order to entice Shabazz’s family and others to cooperate, the NCAA repeatedly gave assurances that it would keep details of the investigation strictly confidential. As recently as November 2012, the NCAA promised that it would not issue a Press Release.
"Last Friday, the NCAA released a Press Release which not only was wrong in its conclusions but which also inaccurately portrayed the investigation process in this case. For over a year, the NCAA has known all of the relevant facts related to its ruling last Friday. Prior to the unofficial visits in question, Ron Holmes and Ben Lincoln received approval from NCAA (through its member universities) for Mr. Lincoln (who has had a continuous close friendship with Shabazz’s family since 2007) to pay for airline tickets and hotel rooms. In 2010, Mr. Holmes openly and honestly revealed to the NCAA the source of the payments on the NCAA’s compliance form. Shabazz’s family is now faced with the situation where they are concerned that any attempt to tell more of their side of the story will result in further punitive action, as Shabazz is still under the mercy of the NCAA. Shabazz and his family will continue to honestly cooperate with the NCAA in the hopes that Shabazz soon will be allowed to play basketball at UCLA."
A response from the NCAA to the above statement, if there is any, will be posted here as soon as one is available.
As of Monday, UCLA had not appealed the NCAA's decision to declare Muhammad ineligible, a school official confirmed.
The school is waiting for the NCAA to provide more information about Muhammad's status, which could come this week, according to people close to the situation who are not authorized to speak publicly because the case is ongoing.
The 6-foot-6 swingman could sit out 10 games before he is cleared to compete for the Bruins, according to guidelines the NCAA uses to establish eligibility.
Athletic Director Dan Guerrero said Friday that UCLA would appeal.
Muhammad's status is not expected to change in time for him to play in the Bruins' next two games. The Bruins face UC Irvine on Tuesday and James Madison on Thursday. Both games are at Pauley Pavilion.
The NCAA has determined that Muhammad accepted travel and lodging from a financial advisor during unofficial visits to Duke and North Carolina. That advisor, Benjamin Lincoln, is the brother of an assistant coach at Las Vegas Bishop Gorman High, which Muhammad attended.
Muhammad's family has said that Lincoln is a friend — and the NCAA does allow for financial aid to be awarded to an athlete provided that it's from someone with a preexisting relationship.
But Guerrero said Friday that the NCAA determined the Muhammad family's relationship with Lincoln "would not have allowed ... the family to receive the benefits that they got."

I hope he gets less then 10 games I really wanna see as much of him and KA on the floor together as possible in their 1 season.
Kanter would had been an animal in college as well, sucks that he couldn't play.
I think UK can beat Duke tonight as long as they keep the tempo high, they will struggle in half court games all season I think.
If Duke's shooters get hot though it's all theirs.

I'm sure you know whether or not he is sick...
Great win for the Johnnies considering we are underhanded right now. It was cute to discipline D'angelo for the first game but that needs to end.
Obekpa looking like he was well worth the money
We get Sanchez qualified and Branch going in the next couple weeks we'll be able to hang in-conference

Why would Harrow run from Quinn Cook and Tyler Thornton? I think Duke wins though.
SJU has some fun kids to watch but outside of Harrison that is one raw team.
Detroit won't beat out Valpo this year IMO, too poorly coached.

Harrow just doesn't look mentally or physically ready to be a UK point guard. He's probably more soft spoken than D.Rose and he's a 3rd year college player. The kid has the tools but he's got some things he needs to work on. I've always seen him as confident and slightly cocky in these open gym, high school, all-star atmospheres but under the real whistle he loses a lil bit of that confidence.

I am not a fan of his but the idea of him faking sick to avoid a game is a little far fetched for me.

The only people scared of Tyler Thornton and Quinn Cook on the floor are Coach K and their teammates.

he tweeted yesterday that he was headed to ATL... then they decided against it, kept him here to get some blood work done. he's "fatigued" they say.
oh well... start Archie and Mays, let Polson spell, hope to avoid foul trouble.
someone did note that Harrow missed big games while at NC State due to being "sick" tho...
