If they shut down Perry Ellis again, we have no chance.

I think the guys will be on fire, and we’ll win by 20+

(Don’t worry, I’ll avoid the game chat so my optimism won’t ruin the downer party.)

@Blown I’m tied for second to last place ahead of someone who didn’t finish filling out the bracket in the bucket challenge.

As I recall, the Lite group was bitterly divided between “tastes great” and “less filling”

Did anyone actually watch the last ten-ish minutes of the Tech game?

Definitely slower pace with Lucas in, but I’d say we played more under control with Lucas in the game than with either Bragg or Diallo (and definitely without Greene flying around).

The quarter of the game where you WIN, net production doesn’t matter.

Tied 44-44. What did Lucas do?

10:03 Lucas post layup

8:52 Lucas screen for Mason made 3

8:31 Lucas boxout, fouled on defensive rebound

8:10 Lucas screen on Svi missed 3

6:02 Lucas assist on Selden jam

5:04 Lucas screen for Mason made 3

3:20 Lucas bounce pass to SVI who missed the dunk, made 1 FT

2:25 Lucas screen for Selden’s made 3

1:42 Lucas ssist/lob for Ellis jam

On Devonte’s layup at 1:08 Lucas screened Selden’s guy and Selden would have had an easy dunk if Devonte needed to dish of the ball. By that point the game was won.

Lucas got scored on a couple times in the 2-4 minute range, but other than that, I understand why Self is comfortable with Lucas out there. He knows exactly where he’s supposed to be.

Until Diallo figures that out, it’s going to be Lucas.

Well, basically this is the same penalty North Carolina got except for the penalties.

Being a retired professional basketball player sounds pretty rough. Greg Ostertag–bored with golfing every day–decided to become the world’s tallest hockey player.

Seriously, here’s the story.

Interesting quote:

“I’ll be the first to admit that I never reached my full potential as a basketball player. I took it for granted that I was 7 feet tall, and I rode that.”

Yeah, well we all kind of figured that!

When he was a little kid, they called him “Squirt”

I love the masks. Haven’t had to trim my nose hairs in months! Thanks to my expressive eyebrows and dancing eyes I’m still able to connect personally with people in Menards, Dillons, the liquor store… well, that’s pretty much it.

Yes, the subsequent T was stupid, but Cliff actually made his first dunk attempt of the game, and we need the big guys to start dominating… so this is my favorite basket:

@BeddieKU23 said in No Silvio:

Wow. Smh.

Has Self ever got less out of a player here while having to deal with the consequences of him going here. I can’t think of one

Billy Preston. There’s one. At least Silvio had one shining moment before all the not shining ones.

I’m still blown away that he was doing a live broadcast of Hawk Talk in a restaurant. At Johnny’s last night with “a cold.” I brought it up about 3-4 weeks ago… why in person? It’s a radio show. I figured he was putting himself at an unnecessary risk, but it turns out he put the audience at risk.

smh. Hope everyone is OK and no one visits grandma for a couple of weeks

@Texas-Hawk-10 looks like we posted at the same time, so I deleted my topic (you have a better link!)

Was wondering why 72 was so hyped up before that play

After not taking one more shot at the end of the first half, and that 1 yard nonsense, it almost feels like Andy is trying to keep it close

(Instead of Two duds up the gut)

Weird play calling there. Roll Mahones out for an easy first down

Baltimore killed their rhythm running that kick back. Too bad

Seems like these announcers are Baltimore fans
