@aheroamongmen @TotallyAllIn @TheHoopHerald definitely fair to say that you go in most situations. was just arguing that it isn’t always 100% better/smarter to go to the draft right away. also that ur not always guaranteed to go as high as people say

@alildoodoo @TotallyAllIn @TheHoopHerald He was also projected ALOT higher though. At like 15-20. You still go to the nba in most situations

This is why some guys shouldn’t be in a rush to get to the NBA Liam McNeeley has played the majority of the season in the G League, after being drafted by the Hornets Had he come back to UCONN, he would probably be a National Champion right now

@TotallyAllIn @TheHoopHerald i do agree for players like toppin tho

@alildoodoo @TheHoopHerald Nah. If you make it in the NBA during your rookie deal you're second contract will be 8-figures AAV for 4 or 5 years. It's just a different tier. And you're tacking on a year to your pro career on the back end. It's just a no-brainer.

@TotallyAllIn @TheHoopHerald not to mention it’s not necessarily safe to assume u will get a 2nd contract, depending on ur situation and age it could make sense to stay that extra year (sophomore here) to actually improve your draft stock and secure a bigger bag for your first contract

@TotallyAllIn @TheHoopHerald going earlier in the draft also gives you more money than getting drafted later, and NIL deals can provide additional funds. this isn’t the old league where it just makes 100% sense to go to the league right away. players can actually benefit by staying longer…

@TheHoopHerald Nah, he was a first round pick. If you're a first round pick you bet on yourself and go. Going gets you to the 2nd NBA contract a year earlier.

@udontknoballngl @daily_msu had to come back for this 😭

@daily_msu Here are his Sweet 16 predictions for reference… and yeah, buddy doesn’t know basketball. Bookmark this for when UConn and Michigan win, come back to it.

Arizona > Michigan Illinois > UConn

@CBeshJr that gf beater was frying our shit

Remember when people were clowning on Hurley after losing to NMST and Teddy Allen, saying he couldn't get it done in March?

@MYeoman67 @theScore smokin absolute crack

@theScore move Deron Williams to the 2 guard, and make Kendall Gill your point guard. Love Ayo, but definitely not in the top 2 guards. This Illinois 5 wins by 10, over that UConn 5

Which All-Time starting 5 are you taking, UConn or Illinois? 🤔

@nickysmokess non-sports id say Hades 2, quality ass play through

What’s the best solo video game to play right now? Don’t wanna play online was thinking a franchise mode on MLB The Show or WWE 2K. Help me out!

@game7__ mfs be commenting on a situation they no nothing about based on a single clip w no context and claim they know ball lmaoo. sad to see, suck ours nuts

It's rare that sports fans agree on anything. But everyone seems to be in agreement today: Duke got robbed this weekend. Dan Hurley and UConn have been flagrantly ignoring the rules for the entirety of the NCAA Tournament. Sunday was no exception. There were still 0.4 seconds on the clock. The game was live. Dan Hurley walked toward a referee on the sideline. He got in the official’s face. Then he pressed his forehead directly into the ref’s forehead. SI called it a “menacing forehead tap.” No technical foul was called. If it had been, Duke shoots two free throws. Down one. With an 86% free throw shooter at the line. Here's what actually happened and why this should be a much bigger story than it is. Braylon Mullins hit a 35-foot three to give UConn a 73-72 lead with 0.4 seconds left. It was the shot of the tournament. Nobody is disputing that. But in the seconds after the shot, Hurley walked toward a referee, got in his face, and pressed his forehead directly into the official's forehead. Sports Illustrated described it as a "menacing forehead tap." The clock still showed 0.4 seconds. The game was not over. A technical foul on a head coach for making contact with an official during a live ball is one of the easiest calls in basketball. There is no gray area. Contact with a game official is a technical. If it's called, Duke's Isaiah Evans steps to the free throw line, trailing 73-72. He shot 86% from the stripe this season. Makes both? Duke wins 74-73. Makes one? Overtime. That wasn't the only violation. When Mullins' shot went in, UConn bench players ran onto the court to celebrate before the game was over. They caught themselves and ran back, but they had already entered the playing area during a live ball. Duke's radio announcers immediately called for a technical. That wasn't called either. Two separate technical foul violations. Zero calls. In the span of 0.4 seconds. And here's what makes the Hurley part impossible to ignore. Three weeks ago, on March 7, Hurley was ejected from UConn's game at Marquette in the final second for getting in a referee's face. He was chest-to-shoulder with the official. Double technical. Ejected. The Big East fined him $25,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct. In the Sweet 16 against Michigan State on March 27, Hurley challenged an out-of-bounds call, got it overturned, and then sarcastically offered his glasses to the ref who got it wrong. Lip readers caught him asking about Lasik. Nothing was called. Two days later against Duke, Hurley was officially "warned" during the game for leaving his coach's box. Told to stay put. Then after the buzzer beater, he went forehead-to-forehead with a ref. Ejected and fined $25,000 at Marquette. Taunted a ref to his face at Michigan State with no consequences. Warned during the Duke game for leaving his coach's box. Then physical contact with a referee in the biggest moment of the tournament. The full breakdown of every missed call and what would have happened if any of them were made is here: itsgame7.com/news/duke-got-… UConn came back from 19 down. Mullins hit one of the greatest shots in tournament history. That part was earned. But two technical foul violations in 0.4 seconds, and neither one called, on a coach who was ejected for the same thing three weeks ago? That's not intensity. That's a pattern. And last night, it changed the outcome of a game.

Doing this after going up 1 with 0.4 left is insanity. Youre daring that ref to T you up and give Duke free throws to win it. Hes out of his mind and I love it

17-point lead for Duke?? ILLINOIS VS. DUKE ODDS ARE LIVE 🗣️

@matty_savs723 @jharrisfuture @joelvmoran might just be the coldest take i’ve ever seen

@jharrisfuture @joelvmoran We’re not missing his presence out there he’s expendable at this point. Rather have clarkson over him rn

The 8 players the Knicks protect in an expansion draft: Jalen Brunson KAT Mikal Bridges OG Anunoby Mitchell Robinson (resign him) Josh Hart Deuce McBride Who’s the last player they keep? Diawara, Alvarado, Kolek??

@Big10junkie @Globalsportsbe1 @chuzztopher lonzo lowkey got cooked by injuries tho tbf, i think he would’ve have a fine career in the league

@Globalsportsbe1 @chuzztopher Lavar ball was right on literally 1 out of 3 sons. Lonzo ended up being a huge bust and Liangelo is now a rapper never even made the league

His father really just torched his career for his own financial benefit. Sickening.

@ulxrare 1 pt/reb off for me but great read lol, u do hate to see it tho

Taylor Hendricks Bilal Coulibaly Matas Buzelis run these mofos today.. max them and lower them , ladder the shit out of these dudes on god

@NBAEnjoyer99 @Jack_DeAngelis7 @RussellT33 @DedicationHoops jus looked thru the wilt game log for shits n giggles during his stretch and there is da 1 singular game where he needed the fts to break 20. counted at least 5 for sga just this szn before i stopped lol. and have watched sga play up like 30 when he usually sits just to get 20 😭

@alildoodoo @Jack_DeAngelis7 @RussellT33 @DedicationHoops And take away shais hes still above 20? Give shai FORTY shots a game and hes averaging more than 50 lmao Whats your point?

we really just saw a wilt record get broken wtf man 😭

@Jack_DeAngelis7 @RussellT33 @DedicationHoops wilt also averaged damn near 50 during that stretch. u could take away every single free throw and he was still averaging 30. but u knew this based on ur simple google search, right?

@RussellT33 @DedicationHoops Wilt averaged 17 fta during his streak all it takes is a simple google search acting like every elite scorer ever hasn’t got to the line consistently

@Touyarokii pombon might actually be the worst starter design i’ve ever seen lol. gonna wait until they drop full evolutions to make my full judgement tho ig 😭

These gotta be the ugliest trio of pokemon starters we’ve ever gotten

@60burners @age_dna @Dreamkiller213 @NBA__Courtside reading comprehension is a great skill to learn lol

@alildoodoo @age_dna @Dreamkiller213 @NBA__Courtside Nigga he said it’s boring. wtf did he say about niggas being the best

Paul Pierce says the NBA should change the three point line to a LED line that just comes and goes “Like you can turn it off, turn it back on in certain times of the game. Like, if you are down ten with three minutes in the 4th. It’s just ridiculous how I have watched games, it would be next three minutes of all threes. Like, 48 minutes a game the three point line should be on only like 30 minutes. Then we going to see who got game, then you going to have to get buckets now. You ain’t just going to be launching. You going to have to get money” (Via @NFGShow)

@age_dna @Dreamkiller213 @NBA__Courtside surely the teams “who can shoot the most 3s” are the best teams in the league right?

@Dreamkiller213 @NBA__Courtside The game has changed to the most boring "who can shoot the most 3s and win" game.
