  1. "Edwards playing with his food" they said as he was playing against LeBron James. The mighty have fallen.
  2. That was the closest thing to a dagger. Down by 21 with under 4:41 minutes.
  3. Guy with the camera probably deserved whatever he got. Probably instigated on purpose to get a payday.
  4. Crazy that went in at the buzzer
  5. Dude's last name takes up half of his jersey
  6. If I told you Minny shot 56%, you'd say "that's some terrific two-point shooting".
  7. Looks like a car accident
  8. Damn, Lakers down by 19 in the 3rd. Make that 22.
  9. Adam Finkelstein Director of Scouting --- Adams is a skilled and smooth guard with good positional size at 6-foot-5 and an instinctive feel for the game. He’s a multi-dimensional scoring threat who can make threes and mid-range pull-ups in a variety of different ways. He’s coming off an EYBL season in which he averaged 15 points per game on 40% shooting from the floor, 32% from behind the arc, and 59% from the free-throw line, but is widely considered to be a better shooter than that. As a junior in EYBL Scholastic play, he also averaged 15 points per game, but did it on 43% shooting from the floor and 41% from behind the arc. The long-range shooting projects as the first domino in his individual offense at the next level. He has good touch, a fairly compact and very repeatable release, both as a spot-up threat, and with flashes of movement shooting as well. Adams can also make reads with the ball, so he can come off screens and get to his mid-range game if that’s how the defense is playing him. Combine that with his reliability as a passer and he has the type of floor game that should fit into offensive structure nicely at the next level. Where there is untapped potential is in his frame and the amount of sheer force he plays with. He’s still growing into his body a bit and doesn’t always yet have the same amount of athletic burst as other top prospects. Once that frame clicks though, it could unlock new aspects of his attack, help him play through contact more consistently, and make him more efficient in the lane. Right now, he can be fluid with the ball in the open floor, but doesn’t pressure the rim or finish as well in a half-court game. Defensively, the added physicality can only help as well. His size and intellect are both assets, while he also has very good hands and a high steal rate, but would only add versatility with more power and explosiveness. Overall, Adams is a skilled, smooth, smart, has good size, and his best basketball still in front of him as he continues to make strides physically.
  10. Boom? Sources: Top-30 recruit Darius Adams decommits from UConn https://247sports.com/player/darius-adams-46127781/ https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/44751643/sources-top-30-recruit-darius-adams-decommits-uconn
  11. Hey, is there a thread dedicated to UT memories in general? Random pictures from UT's history? This popped up on my feed today.
  12. Technically, it's "For a second time..."
  13. I couldn't help myself...
  14. Congrats, Miami! Constantly overachieving. I tuned in with seven minutes left in the 4th and was glued to the screen the rest of the way. It's 8:41PM CST and OU still sucks.
  15. Congratulations, hometown kid! https://247sports.com/player/mason-shipley-46157694/
  16. I'll really miss Seasons one and two Burt. Go get a fresh start and be magic!
  17. The naming scheme is bizarre. Knowing what "Adonis" means, I had to AI the pair... ------------ The basketball prospect twins Darius and Adonis have names with distinct and interesting meanings: * **Darius:** This is a name of Persian origin. It comes from the Old Persian name "Dārayavahuš," which means **"he who holds firm the good"** or **"maintains possessions well."** It's a historically significant name, notably borne by several kings of ancient Persia, including Darius the Great. * **Adonis:** This name has Greek origins, derived from the Phoenician word "adon," meaning **"lord"** or **"master."** In Greek mythology, Adonis was a strikingly handsome young man, the mortal lover of the goddess Aphrodite, and became an archetype of male beauty. So, Darius's name signifies someone who is a guardian of goodness, while Adonis's name connects to ideas of lordship and striking beauty. It's interesting how these distinct meanings are associated with the two brothers. ------------ I asked the AI if the parents were drunk when they named the kids and it AI-chewed me out.
  18. Not to detract from my extremely funny post above, but I suspect Arch will be qualified to graduate in ~three years.
  19. Anyone know what his GPA is? I don't think I want him here for two years if he's dragging our GPA average down.
  20. That's crazy, I didn't notice he was in CAL now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Rivera California Golden Bears (2025–present) On March 20, 2025, Rivera was announced as the general manager of his alma mater, California, with oversight over their budget and football staff.[70] His contract runs through 2028, with his compensation funded entirely by donors.[71] @Bevo&Pevo did you know that Ron Rivera was born in Coco Solo hospital on the Atlantic side.
