Yeah I'm not counting on Thomas being back. And if he's not at 100%, we don't really need him anyway. We'll be playing a style of basketball from here on out that doesn't suit his game at all.

We need either Cobb or Thomas for depth on the wing. If we have at least one of those we should be alright. Evans fouls a lot. I guess playing JJ more and moving TC to the wing at times would help...but TC is going to need a rest too.

Nobody should be touching the ball on Lsu that isn't Ben Simmons. Kentucky can't stop him he is way to shy. Need to do a 2007 lebron James iso like Cleveland did because everyone else on Lsu can't get the job done

Fairly bad day overall for bubble teams. Alabama, Syracuse, LSU, Vanderbilt, VCU, George Washington, Ohio State, etc all lost. On the other hand, Wichita St lost who I'm not sure is the lock Lundari seems to think they are.

I am certain we will get in with 2 more wins this season. It is starting to look like we will have a good shot to get in even if all we get is an SMU win tomorrow. That is by-far the most important game of the season (even if it was not the last game of the season).

Things could be worse, we could be Boston College...

Against Florida State, Boston College senior center Dennis Clifford had 15 points and nine rebounds before fouling out with 9 1/2 minutes left. Right then, BC's deficit was somewhat manageable, at 65-56, but quickly climbed back up to 15 points.

Afterward, Clifford was asked what his best memory of playing college basketball will be. He choked up and put his head down, pausing for more than 20 seconds. When he looked back up, his face was red, his eyes were welling.

His answer: "Going out to eat."

Even though that's incredibly sad, I couldn't help but laugh at that. Maybe I'm just a sh*tty person?

Looks like the lights have come on at Louisville and the roaches should be running. Being reported by ESPN that 3 recruits have coraberated the story of recruiting violations by telling investigators that they were at parties where strippers were dancing and sex was offered. Don't know if a one year ban will be enough. May be time for Pitino to step aside. Sex in resturant, hookers for recruiting visits. Fine example for our children.

Xavier's jalen Reynolds officiLly hired an agent, not really surprised tho those I know at x told me before the season this is prolly his last. I get he's old and that's why he left but no way he's getting drafted because he simply isn't that good (very athletic tho). He's basically forgoing his senior year on what would be a ranked team to go overseas. But can't blame him who want to go back to Xavier's campus for another year
