College Basketball Crown

Nah just cause you and others don’t appreciate the way he plays and the pedulla kid didn’t start playing as good as he did till he was a junior so it takes time.

Strawman much? Quit pretending like because some of us think that Dayton isn’t a lead guard on a contending team means we don’t “appreciate the way he plays.” Good teams need solid backup guards who can give them 20 minutes or so off the bench. Acting like you are the only one who appreciates him is arrogant.

Looks like Colorado will be without another one of their better players (assuming both Dak and Johnson now don't play in the Crown due to portaling):

Well hello to OUr new starting big! lol

 

[The_Banker]

I mean surely these 3 Colorado dudes who entered the portal aren't playing correct?

No definitive answer, but articles being written on them generally guess they won't play.

That makes 3 of CU's starting 5, including both of their big men (top 2 rebounders and only real rim protector) and their leading scorer of a guard. If they all truly aren't playing it'd be a shame if OU doesn't wipe the floor with the Buff's backups. But we all know it doesn't work that way haha

Do your offices have as much buzz for the Crown bracket contest as mine does?

This makes it sound like all 3 will not play Wednesday

Did hoist ever get cleared by ncaa? I know they announced redshirt for him. But never heard if cleared.

Per Porter at his presser this morning:


Andreas hasn't been able to travel all year, just by rules. Jeff is an internal team matter

I wonder if Jeff basically did what a few of our football players did and essentially quit when his playing time dried up. If so, that's very weak, especially after he basically got paid for two years to be a complete nonfactor. Well, I guess he was a factor -- a negative one, to be precise.

The snippet of video I saw, Moser was his normal whiny self about "resources."

Nobody can convince me, after watching that video, that Moser is the right man for the job. He is such a bad fit at OU and such a bad coach. Just awful that we have to deal with him for another season.

At least the football guys got a redshirt out of the deal. Not sure what Nwankwo would have gotten, other than I'm sure his feelings were hurt.

I haven't watched but read the tweets about it and this is what I thought. He will not stop complaining. Also, if I were the four highly touted transfers he brought in this season, I would want to punch him because when he acts like he doesn't have the necessary NIL funds, what he is essentially doing is saying that he doesn't have good enough players to win.

Yea, that doesn't make sense to me, either. Unless he just wanted to make sure he didn't get hurt by continuing to practice and potentially play garbage time minutes.

It was embarrassing to listen to. I have ZERO doubt he'll fail again next year, just because of his attitude about this. Not taking responsibility. Just looking for a hand out. Funny thing is, even with better NIL I'm not sure he's going to have a 1-7 as talented as he had this year.

Too bad. But, if you can't cut it, you can't cut it.

 

[hoopsaustin]

His family is giving him bad advice then. Did they really think he deserved more minutes or a starting role over Nigel or X? Really?? He might be a starter at another school, but not a major P4 school. Nothing wrong with being the 6th man. Crap, the NBA gives an award for it.

When healthy, he averaged about 20-25 minutes a game. Pack and Brown averaged 30 MPG. Plus, down the stretch, he was in the game at crunch time when it counted.

Too many times, families and people are in players' ears telling them stuff like "you should be a starter" without realizing he's playing an important role and minutes already.

Bye boy

Maybe. But OU needs to rarely pay for "potential" in bball.. he doesn't have the body of work, not his fault he got hurt. But that hurts your value

I swear if we lose...
