  @Crimsonorblue22 The ball pressure that Selden is applying, the lateral movement on the perimeter, particularly since we are pressuring beyond the arc so much more this season, is where I’m noticing Selden’s D being better. It simply may be that he is running on better wheels this year and we are seeing a healthy Selden for the first time. His size with that lateral movement looks tough when he is hounding his man–and he is getting after it on D. The missed assignments on rotating in the block will tighten up and it mostly likely will by Kentucky since there is teaching tape.

  @JRyman Ha! Not my intention at all. I live in Chicago so I know exactly what you mean. As a KU fan every year is kind of “our year” so I apologize if that was taken the wrong way. Just saying I like the idea of possibly having a heavily Sophomore / Junior / Senior team. RCJH.

  @Lulufulu I wasn’t aware of any ill feelings towards Pastner, either. I was pointing out his team got drilled by a Div 2 team, which is hilarious to most that follow the sport.

  @globaljaybird “Nothing personal if he’s @drgnslayr friend” This was my first encounter with Zenger, though I plan to bump into him again. He mentioned how hard he is focused on making football profitable and how tired he is of basketball having to fund football. After that, I went into full sales pitch mode for Bowen. I know that many of us will have a lot more patience (and attend a lot more games) with a KU man coaching our team!

  @VailHawk Could he be a great outside shooter, ice in his veins? Or could he be a liability and be cold as ice from outside?

  @jaybate-1.0 I graduated with my bachelors degree 8 years ago. Absolutely no way do I get that degree without papers and tests and attendance. But then again I didn’t major in communications or any American Studies major.

  @HighEliteMajor My comment was in relation to Svi who was referred to as a volume shooter. In looking at his record, the only time he took double figure shots was when he played for the under 16 team here he was by far the better player and expected to take a lot of shots and score a lot, With the under 18, the National team and the professional teams he played, he averaged well under 10 shots per game (6-7???); not exactly what you would call a volume shooter. Also, his average from the 3 fluctuated wildly between games and with all games considered, his average from 3 probably slightly over 0.300, not a slouch but not 3 point ace either. This information is available on various sites Unfortunately, the site where is used to get all the detailed stats now requires registration and a fee and I am not about to pay to get stats from East European country Leagues. It is not a big deal either.

  “Academic fraud” amongst students is one thing… when it is allegedly conducted through the university it is something totally different. This is a case for the justice department because the level of crime creates victims widespread. Potentially every graduate of UNC will have their diploma potentially discredited to some degree, and the damage could extend beyond that because it raises general academic integrity issues on a broader scale. In the example above I listed a lawsuit brought from Memphis ticket holders who were suing Calipari and Rose for a loss in value… imagine the student body of UNC over 18 years bringing a class action suit because of a loss in value of their diplomas? I know if I was a UNC grad I would almost feel an obligation to be a part of that suit. I think someone needs to go to prison!

  @drgnslayr said: No. The university has a moral obligation to… Eh, I think you might have gotten me off the dime of uncertainty, and perhaps just persuaded me that absolutely no substantive punishment will come to UNC, Roy, Chancellor Folts, or the prior Chancellor, or the prior Vice Chancellor (our current Chancellor), when this is all played out. Universities, though I am one of their strong advocates, appear IMHO among the world’s slipperiest, and political of bureaucracies. They call raising money “development.” There endeth the lesson.
