I didn't see the duke game but holy shit.  Zion is a beast.  That being said, they played a pretty much perfect game.  They shot well from outside, inside, had 4 turnovers (this will undoubtedly be their season low), and it looks like UK didn't play all that well.  Some of that is mismatch, some of that is Duke just being better.  I'll say this, ACC league play will be fun this year.  Duke would have beaten anyone last night.

KU played decent.  Lots of fouls, Azubuike didn't rebound well so those are two down points.  KU showed that they lose focus on the game pretty easily when they have a lead which is something that has always plagued Bill Self KU teams. 

I think UK was a little overrated but it is hard not to say that Duke isn't the best team in the country after one night.  31 more regular season games to go so plenty of time to see mistakes and for freshmen to get into a funk across the country.

Got damn I love basketball season.

Zion is 4th best player on Duke after Barrett, Reddish and Jones.  He is awesome and fun, but a lot of what he is able to do, and will be able to do, will be because of those guys.

 

I predict that people are going to be reminding you of this post for years.

Four Brigham Young boosters gave extra benefits to men’s basketball student-athlete
 

Quote

Four Brigham Young boosters provided more than $12,000 in complimentary all-inclusive vacations, cash, meals, golf and the use of a car to a men’s basketball student-athlete in violation of NCAA rules, according to a Division I Committee on Infractions panel.

The COI found that most of the impermissible benefits were given by one booster and included approximately $10,000 worth of all-expenses-paid trips, the use of a car and car insurance. Two other boosters treated the student-athlete to free golf outings and meals at a country club where they were members. One of those boosters also provided or left $200 cash in the locker room for the student-athlete during practice. The fourth booster arranged a free weekend stay at a resort. The decision noted that the men’s basketball team gained an advantage of an ineligible player for two seasons because the student-athlete played after receiving benefits.  He continued receiving benefits during and after those seasons.

Although this case involved only one student-athlete, the COI noted in its report that it was concerned about the level of unmonitored access the four different boosters had with the prominent student-athlete. The COI was particularly troubled that one of the boosters had access to the men’s basketball locker room and used that access to provide the student-athlete with cash. The fact that a Brigham Young mentorship program connected one of the boosters with the student-athlete was also concerning to the COI. The committee emphasized that the limited scope of the case does not alleviate a university’s responsibility to educate and monitor boosters and detect inappropriate behaviors.

This case was resolved through the summary disposition process, a cooperative effort where the involved parties collectively submit the case to the Committee on Infractions in written form. The NCAA enforcement staff and university must agree to the facts and overall level of the case to use this process instead of a formal hearing. After the panel reviewed the case, it prescribed a vacation of all records in which the student-athlete participated while ineligible. The university did not agree with the vacation of records penalty, so there was an expedited penalty hearing.

The university argued that the vacation of records penalty was not appropriate; however, after hearing arguments, the panel determined it was appropriate based on the scope of the violations. The decision noted that vacation of records is an important penalty that addresses competitive advantage gained over other NCAA member schools that follow the rules. It added that the penalty serves to motivate member schools to act proactively to deter, detect and address violations immediately, with the understanding that a failure to do so could result in a significant penalty. Specific to this case, the committee said the penalty holds the university accountable for failing to withhold an ineligible student-athlete from competition.

Division I membership-approved infractions penalty guidelines were used to prescribe the following measures:

Two years of probation from Nov. 9, 2018, through Nov. 8, 2020.
A vacation of records in which the student-athlete participated while ineligible.
A reduction of one men’s basketball scholarship, served during the earliest possible academic year (self-imposed by the university).
Recruiting restrictions detailed in the public report.
A disassociation of one of the boosters (self-imposed by the university).
A $5,000 fine (self-imposed by the university).
Members of the Committee on Infractions are drawn from NCAA membership and members of the public. The members of the panel who reviewed this case are Carol Cartwright, chief hearing officer and president emerita at Kent State and Bowling Green; Jody Conradt, retired head women’s basketball coach  and special assistant to athletics at Texas; Alberto Gonzales, dean of the law school at Belmont and former attorney general of the United States; Thomas Hill, senior vice president emeritus at Iowa State; Joyce McConnell, provost and vice president of academic affairs at West Virginia; Gary L. Miller, chancellor at Green Bay; and David Roberts, special advisor to the president at Southern California and vice chair of the Division I Committee on Infractions.

They put him back on the team, of course.  What a cesspool BYU is.

How does a guy get only a 9-game suspension (1/3rd of a season) from the NCAA for taking a free car and $10K in trips from a booster?

1/3rd of the season is what the UNC football players got for selling their shoes.  It's what AJ Green got for selling his bowl jersey.

I say this somewhat tongue and cheek and somewhat serious, but when is John Calipari going to stop getting a pass? It seems the last couple of years with a boat load of talent his teams just fall flat in terms of what they should accomplish. He is a good coach, won a national title, but his recent Kentucky teams have just been flat and meh.

Vick is 7-7 from 3.  Without him we are down double digits in the first 10 minutes and maybe at half.  Doke started something like 1-5 then turned it on.  One thing I noticed is that having Lawson and Doke inside was really clogging the lane.  They got Lawson out and Doke came alive.  Could be a problem going forward.

Brown, Wade and Mawien are legit and those 3 will win a lot of games for K-State.

The scary thing about that team is point guard play. Stokes and Diarra are really erratic. Sometimes they have good games and sometimes they are god awful. The success of K-State is often driven by their point guard play. They are an elite 8 caliber team when Stokes/Diarra are playing well and they can lose to just about anybody when those two struggle. 

Stokes is 2-14 from the field to start the year. Diarra is 2-11 to start the year. That's why they've struggled with Denver and Kennesaw State in these first two games. 

Teams are going to help off those two until they can prove they can score. Brown is probably the best player in the Big 12 and he carries that team at times. They better keep him healthy.

Zion is going to be the 1/2 pick.  He's going to do very well in college and anyone who downplays his skill at the college level will look like a fool.  His size more than makes up for any deficiencies he has in his game.  The duke team is very well put together and could only be better if everyone had 2-3 years of experience under their belt.  A junior/senior Zion would be a beast.

The G'town-Illinois game on FS1 has a pretty good flow to it. It's 55-53 G'town with 13:31 to go.

I enjoy watching Hoya Paranoia fall flat. They have some of the douchiest fans in the nation. I will never forget their stupid shirts that they wore after John Thompson III was hired.
