Makes you wonder why we didn't go after a player like Quisenberry to fill the starting guard slot left open by Russell's portal entry. We picked up El-Amin. Quisenberry has continued to improve as the season has moved on and he is not a Grad Transfer. He has another year left of eligibility. There ...

Age is not the issue. The NBA will take a guy regardless of age. Jasean Tate is 26 and joined the NBA in 2020 after playing in Belgium and Australia. Matt Thomas is with the Bulls...NBA debut at age 25.

It's simply a matter of a fit, a need, a chance, a coach, etc.

Toppin is averaging about 6 points and 3.5 rebs per game. If his goal was to go to UK and be a role player, then good for him.

An ugly win is better than an ugly loss.. and man that was an ugly win.. poor e z buckets trying to get the fans going.. might help if the team can give us a reason to get loud.. do like being able to zip out of the parking lot and get home in less than an hour.. that's my positive take on tonight'...

La Salle came back from a 9 point half time deficit. They did it on good ball handling and control - they had only 8 turnovers and made 10 steals. They also outrebounded St. Joe's, 40-31.

So we all agree: 1. Blame goes to Cox for burning a timeout earlier in the game (for no needed reason) and only having 1 left at the end. (Saving timeouts is critical and taking them, for example, before the under 16:00 timeout when you're up 7 after going on a 6-0 run makes no sense in games.) 2. B...

Well, if you desperately contort your body and jump into defenders who are straight up with no chance of making the shot, then why should a ref bail you out with a cockamaymy call? Learn to shot a pull up jump shot and make life easy.
