Who was Rivers going to pass it to? Dawkins or Curry? They were worse jack em joes than Rivers was.

LMAO. Maybe you are correct. The numbers show Rivers' took more shot attempts per minute played than the other two, but it was fairly close between all three of them. I guess if Rivers' was the best player on the team then its what you want. My math could be off though.

EDIT: I can just picture them looking at each other on the court and and thinking in their minds "I am not passing it those two, because all they do is shoot."

The biggest problem with the other two, when Dawkins missed on the offensive end, he sulked the rest of the game, especially on D. Curry would dribble himslef into trouble and try to do shit he just can't do. Rivers hurt the team less on an off night than they did, he still played like he gave a shit.

I will have to take your word for it. The only time I saw Duke play was when they were draining 3's on UNC and NCSU, other than the Lehigh game where I think they all played like crap.

Nvm. Shabazz to UK.

Congrats cats.

Mason played awesome against Lehigh.....and then we stopped giving the ball to him.

I was speaking of the "Jack'em up Joe" trio we were discussing. Sorry for being lazy and thus unclear.

Mason did play well, but in reality he should have. Lehigh didn't have anyone who could make his size, strength combination, but that is expected because Lehigh isn't going to get premier big men to go there.

Don't want him. He will destroy the program (Okay, he'll just damage the reputation further). When the NCAA sent out letters warning teams about him, I knew he would be trouble.

I don't get it. If UK doesn't get the recruits, the fans won't be all that upset. Just won a championship less than 10 days ago, you know?

Bazz to UCLA, Noel to Georgetown:

Clint Jackson ‏ @clintjackson1
Sources have confirmed that Shabazz Muhammad has made his decision to attend UCLA. Congrats to Ben Howland.

Evan Daniels ‏ @EvanDanielscout
A pair of sources have confirmed to Scout.com that Shabazz Muhammad will commit to UCLA on the nationally televised show.

Jeff Borzello ‏ @jeffborzello
Shabazz Muhammad has informed all the coaches involved that he will be committing to UCLA.

Evan Daniels‏@EvanDanielscout
Every person I've talked to around the Nerlens Noel recruitment in the last three hours has said it's Georgetown. We'll know very soon.

@jeffborzello: Now, it seems that ALL signs are pointing to the Hoyas for Noel. Crazy.

 

[Fjordson]

Called it! Now let's see about Bennett.

 

[Pollux]

I don't even care lol. Oh well. 2013 should be a good year...

 

[vas_a_morir]

Somebody said Cal was going to be there...what's he doing there? lol

 

[Proelite]

Calipari doing a last minute pitch on the show.

 

[Pollux]

Shows not on yet, right?

And I don't trust anybody tweeting anything until the recruit says it on the show and I see it.

 

[thefro]

I'd enjoy that a lot... Indiana will get to play UCLA and Georgetown in the Barclays Classic in Brooklyn.

 

[Pollux]

Bah...Cal doesn't sound positive...guess the tweets are right.

 

[Cubsfan23]

UK already bought a title, no need to spend more

 

[Proelite]

I have no idea why Bazz chose ucla over duke and uk. That adidas money must be a lot.

 

[NewLib]

Oh well, maybe UCLA will be portrayed as the evil one and done school.... oh who am I kidding it will still be Kentucky.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Nerlens has such awesome hair. I wish he could have been on our team!

 

[Pollux]

I have no idea why Bazz chose ucla over duke and uk. That adidas money must be a lot.

If he does and he's bought into the "we'll play more uptempo" from Howland then Bazz is crazy.

Fun fact, Sam Malone on UK's bench went to the same school as Noel and Oriaki...so maybe....**fingers crossed**

I dunno, I don't think we get either Bazz or Noel. Hopefully we can pull in Bennett.

 

[Fjordson]

I have no idea why Bazz chose ucla over duke and uk. That adidas money must be a lot.

He'll probably get more shots at UCLA, maybe a better offense for him, and they have a decent team this year.

Nerlens would surprise me more. After what Anthony Davis did this year, UK seems like a no brainer.

Pump Brothers are as heavy hitters as WWW is. I think Bazz wanting to stay closer to home than across the country was part of it.

 

[scoobs]

calipari is your head coach... you don't think you have a chance?? I will be 100% shocked if they don't get one of them.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Young Master Bazzleworth III! Say it ain't so!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I can understand why a team being as successful as UK was this past season might actually scare away some recruits. It's a lot to live up to the very next year and expectations will be high. Noel would be compared to Davis all year long.

 

[thefro]

Shabazz to UCLA confirmed live on ESPN-U

 

[Pollux]

Wish him well and good luck out there.

Unfortunately nobody is going to see him play with the time zone stuff.

 

[vas_a_morir]

I'm not going to hate on Shabazz. He seems like a great guy.

 

[Fjordson]

That's true. But man, seems odd to shy away from that challenge if you're truly one of the best players in the nation.

(not that these other schools aren't great programs as well)

As far as Bazz, him and Anderson are gonna be good at UCLA. They'll definitely be better than the last few years.

 

[Bowser]

lol I read this on IC, is it true (at work sadly):

Cal sounded pissed! Something to the effect of not any freshman can come in and do what his past freshmen did and that not every top kid can come in and handle his program. LMAO!

 

[Avinexus]

I agree that going to certain schools puts far more pressure on you than going to others, but I doubt next years UK team would have anywhere close to the amount of pressure this years team had.

 

[vas_a_morir]

lol I read this on IC, is it true (at work sadly):

Yeah, he was like "Welllllll a-fuck you! You guys are pussies anyway." more or less. lol

 

[Bowser]

Clint Jackson ‏ @clintjackson1
Shabazz looking like he isn't too happy about his choice. Anyone else notice that?

lol, guess that Adida$$$ money is just for daddy

 

[Pollux]

I would laugh my ass off if we got another Terrence Jones type situation. Not going to happen, but I'm just saying it would be amusing.

 

[DominoKid]

yup

He looked happy with his decision to me! If it was a player, I'd pick UCLA. But then again, I'm from Kentucky, and I think LA would be a nice change of pace. Duke is a nice school... but NC is basically Kentucky with a beach. I'd still pick UCLA!

@GoodmanCBS Jeff Goodman
Still a glimmer of hope for UK fans as long as Shabazz has to dial Calipari's number after the show.

lol

Gary Parrishþ@GaryParrishCBS
Would be naive to suggest adidas didn't play a role in Shabazz's decision - and just as silly to pretend Nike doesn't also do it every year.


Jeff Goodmanþ
Adidas, um I mean UCLA, wins the Shabazz Muhammad Sweepstakes. Shabazz stayed loyal to adidas entire way

and...

Matt Jones þ @KySportsRadio

Interesting late development. Cats Pause is reporting UK could be close to a commitment from #7 ranked Anthony Bennett

Honestly, it would be a dream come true for kids of the 90's like me.

Amen, brother.

 

[DominoKid]

honestly if i had the chance, i'm not sure i'd play at UNC.

they'd be the frontrunner for sure...but I could easily be sold on Florida, UCLA or Syracuse.
especially Syracuse. the Carrier Dome looks so exciting on TV.

although my family would probably disown me if i chose somewhere other than UNC lol.

 

[Proelite]

It seems like UK is not going to win it all next year, with or without Bennet.

 

[NewLib]

Honestly, this is probably an unpopular opinion but I am done with one and dones as a UK fan . Like there is no joy in watching them develop, its just pressure all the time. Honestly, now that UK got its title I am kind of glad that none of the recruits are sure fire lottery picks.

these mofos talked about the ACC for only like 5 mins. wtf.
