The basketball team ACTUALLY does not suck...
NWG and Upshaw are legit first round talents that might (in Upshaw's case, NWG is gone barring injury) be gone after this year. Don't get caught up in next year and sleep on this team; they're a lot of fun to watch.

That was a fun game. They don't suck. It's too early to make any big proclamations, but it's obvious they are much better than the past two years.
-
Upshaw needs to get in better shape, but he pulls some serious athletic manuevers out of fucking nowhwere under the basket and has great timing in altering shots. He might just be a little too aggressive in his body lean which is getting him into foul trouble, but he would get drafted after the season as is. Doubt we keep him.

We'll know a lot more about this team after December. They passed the scrimmage games and got a trophy out of it, now they have two chances to get quality non-conf wins against SDSU (#15, almost beat Arizona) and Oklahoma. Drop em both, probably pretenders and miss the tourney again. Split em, LIPO but encouraging. Take em both, probably sitting at 12-0, ranked top 20 going into conference play and we no longer get bitched at for posting about basketball on the main board.RoadDawg55 said:That was a fun game.

They look more like a team and not 1 or 2 guys trying to play street ball while 3 other guys watch.

Beat a team coached by Tim "Pink" Floyd and then pop off. #mj23

Upshaw should only get better too. He sat out last year and will get better with games. To be a really good team, he needs to be able to stay on the floor for 20-25 minutes. Legit 7 footers that are athletic and coordinated like he is are extremely rare.

With the tournament win, I am expecting Romar to get another ten year extension. #statemoney

Got booted from Fresno State for weed and some of my friends see him at a hookah bar all the time with an entire hookah to himself. Doesn't surprise me he gets gassed.Doogles said:Upshaw needs to get in better shape, but he pulls some serious athletic manuevers out of fucking nowhwere under the basket and has great timing in altering shots.

Most pleasant surprise for me has been the quality of our depth. Dorsey has future star written all over him. #localtalent

Am I the only one who fucking cringes every time spado's golden boy Jerreau touches the ball? Guy is fucking terrible. He got a couple lucky baskets but missed quite a few jumpers that barely hit the backboard.
I was waiting for them to choke the game away and I was surprised they showed some grit. I'm definitely in LIPO mode but Tim Floyd is a damn good coach and UTEP just beat Xavier, who always has solid teams. Definitely better than getting run out of the gym by Irvine and South Dakota. Time to sign Romar till 2026 so he doesn't lose recruits. -
he can shoot the midrange jumper, and isn't horrific from the line. But he can't finish around the basket to save his life, it's almost unreal how bad he is inside considering his sizeDugtheDoog said:Am I the only one who fucking cringes every time spado's golden boy Jerreau touches the ball?

Utep played pretty poorly today though, I was more impressed when they were down 9 to LBSU and didn't fold.
Look at LBSU's results so far, they aren't a bad team. beat KSU and Xavier, almost beat BYU, and Monson is a good coach, I know it's pretty pathetic when we're talking about 4-4 teams as being potentially good wins, but baby steps -

Classic LoRo basketball -

He's soft. He's not completely useless. He's just been severely overrated by dipshits who are mesmerized that he was a guard in high school before a growth spurt. He probably was a really shitty guard.dhdawg said:

I would still rather have Jarreau than Gant. He's a taller version of Gant without the range. -
Take this shit to the shitty sport board.
I kid. I can't bring myself to watch this shitty sport more than once or twice per year. It's all beneath me after coaching my 6th grade team to undefeated glory four years ago. I do like to keep up on things though. -
I wasn't a huge fan of gant either. Both were bench players really and it pissed me off that twice in 2011 he was taking the last shot (Cal and UCLA I believe)RoadDawg55 said:

I vaguely remember losing my shit and getting yelled at for saying something along the lines of how the fuck does Darnell fucking Gant take the last shot after the Cal game.dhdawg said:

Upvoted for the rest of your poast, but the team could be undefeated in February and we'd still get bitched at for poasting about basketball on the main bored.BrothaString said:

Better defender, better athlete, better knee ligaments. -
Gant was garbage. He was as bad or worse than Jarreau around the basket. Jarreau is two inches taller and more skilled than Gant. Better passer, will probably be a better rebounder, better shot blocker. In other words, they are very close, but I will take the 6'10" guy over the 6'8" guy.ThomasFremont said:

But Jarreau has done nothing to warrant a higher ranking. Unless being a doog legend counts for something.
Gant contributed to championships. Jarow couldn't guard James Harden. Or Jordan Hill. Or all the other NBA players he was put on.
Gant and Holiday were nonexistent on offense, but their defense was a big part of the success of those teams.
So actually, he didn't suck. Jereaux sucks. -
Juroe also has a Justin Holiday face, which pisses me off because Justin Holiday sucked
