  1. who are the announcers tonight?
  2. kenpom has us winning 93-64
  3. the best rookie in the nba looks like the kid who got picked on for sitting out pe because he had asthma.
  4. if jokic ends his career with one title he’s going to shatter the β€œtitles are what makes you great” glass ceiling. wilt, jordan, lebron, jokic. that’s the four best players ever. if you throw out team accomplishments, it becomes very difficult to say that anyone has ever been better than jokic currently is. oh yeah, and he’s back to showing up pudgy and shit. he’s playing himself into shape again. he’s going to keep getting better.
  5. yeah but to be fair he didn’t have the personnel to run havoc at Texas. he’d have needed a lightning quick, aggressive floor leader with boundless energy who gets to the line a lot. someone like isaiah taylor. shaka would want to pair that floor leader with an all-big xii defensive team guard, a senior leader, team captain, fourth year starter type. someone like demarcus holland. now he’d also need a stretch four who can pass, rebound, and hit an open three, like connor lammert. he’d want to have a versatile freak who could guard 1-5, a big xii DPOY type, someone like prince ibeh. and in case he finds himself needing to go big or play high-low it would be important to have a big man who could average a double double and 3.5 blocks, like cam ridley. but that’s still not enough. he’d need guard and perimeter depth to run havoc. you’d want a track star, freak athlete like kerwin roach, a rangy wing like tevin mack, an all-freshman team shooter like eric davis jr, you know? throw in some more depth at each level, guys like javan felix, kendal yancy, and shaquille cleare, and sure, maybe then shaka could have run havoc. but that’s crazy. it’s not fair to ask him to compile a roster like that at any point during his tenure as HC. that’s just typical Texas having unrealistic expectations.
  6. marquette having trouble selling tickets, and the season ticket holders are miffed.
  7. louisville missed 7 ft in a row in the final minute and uk turned it into 0 points lol. the illinois eastern bloc is up 74-67 on ttu with 3 and change left in champaign.
  8. mikel brown jr is awesome.
  9. lowe has been awesome down the stretch for uk, constantly getting downhill and drawing fouls, getting them back into this game.
  10. lotta scoring early on in louisville.
  11. the saudi basketball league.
  12. louisville is a 6.5 (!!!) point favorite over kentucky tonight at 7 on espn. that oughta be a good one.
