Who names their kid Canyon

18yo kids lol. GTFO. This is NCAA basketball. It's 2015. Do you know where you are right now even?

I'm well aware of what year it is.

These 18 year olds you speak of, 99% of these kids are missing the mental piece to the game that you need to win ball games. We have the talent, sure but why do you think we just got our arse kicked by CoC? This game has very little to do with talent you moron.

Why do you think all of these powers like Duke and UNC are getting upset right now too? It's because they're recruiting the best talent in the world, but the only thing these high school coaches don't teach is fundementals and thought process. That's why you have here recently these powerhouse schools getting beat by veteran mid major teams.

Jones has a buyout of $400,000 per year remaining on his contract. He's under contract until 2019...

Alleva has got to go first.

Side note, I think I genuinely hate Canyon Barry. Mainly since we lost to a guy that shoots free throws granny style.

---

Shaq would have been on a different level if he would have let Rick Barry teach him to shoot free throws.

Maybe this will provide enough embarrassment for these diaper dandies to take games serious from start to finish.

One could only hope. I know I would be pissed for life if I was Simmons or Blakeney losing to this team.

Simmons 4-15 Quarterman 4-15 Blakeney 0-9

Literally if they each make 3 more shots each we win the game. We can bitch about coaching all we want, but if the shots ain't falling ain't nothing a coach can do. And it isn't like they're missing contested threes or fadeaway jumpers either. Antonio missed 7 WIDE OPEN shots tonight. Tim missed at least 7 himself. Sampson missed 5 easy jumpers. Ben blew multiple easy lay ups. Until they start nailing the open looks like they're capable of, we won't win a game.

I'll say. Best thing that can happen now is CofC winning the CAA and going to the NCAA's to make this not look so bad. They have a nice out of conference win to help their RPI.

---

just reading that and hoping for it to happen just made me

Dude, did you actually watch the game?

You're not wrong, but Johnny has to reign these guys in. They are playing too fast.

Let's not forget the awful perimeter defense and lack of blocking out.

LeBron didn't "dominate" at 18. He was average.

"James was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft.[24] In his first professional game, he recorded 25 points against the Sacramento Kings, setting an NBA record for most points scored by a prep-to-pro player in his debut outing.[25] In a late season match-up with the New Jersey Nets, he scored a season-high 41 points, becoming the youngest player in league history to score at least 40 points in a game.[26] He was eventually named the Rookie of the Year, finishing with averages of 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game.[27] He became the first Cavalier to receive the honor and joined Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history to average at least 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game in their rookie year (Tyreke Evans has since joined this group).[28] The Cavaliers finished the season 35–47, failing to make the playoffs despite an 18-game improvement over the previous year"


Just in case you forgot. I mean it has been awhile
