Pete Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Drake Bulldogs (24-6, T-1 15-4 MVC). YOOOUUUURRRR BRADLEY BRAVES (22-8, T-1 15-4 MVC). It's Missouri Valley Kumite this Sunday in Peoria on ESPN2 for all the conference marbles. I may have peed a little when I saw these. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 13 hours ago, EVA said: I certainly understand that you can read a lot into certain details of this situation, but Tuscaloosa PD has investigated the hell out of this case, and they have (among other things) Miller’s phone records and multiple videos of the shooting, including footage from Miller’s dash cam. If there was anything suggesting Miller was more than a witness to this event, his ass would be up on charges. This is not drug possession or disorderly conduct or any other kind of penny-ante charge that regularly gets swept up for college athletes. It’s not even an assault or a DUI. We’re talking about a capital murder jacket here. No police is turning a blind eye to that so a dude can play basketball. (Alabama doesn’t even care that much about basketball!) If he hasn’t been charged at this point, it’s because his story has checked out and there’s nothing to charge him with. BTW, Miller’s side of the story came out this afternoon via his lawyer, and he claims that his car was parked first, was not blocking the road, and the victims’ Jeep actually pulled up behind his vehicle. Again, the police have multiple videos of this, so it would seemingly be pretty easy to disprove that if it wasn’t true! That explanation, if accurate, certainly puts an entirely new light on things regarding the parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 That is just the first two tweets of a longer thread.

And promised to sue them if they tried to sanction him in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 So, putting aside whether or not Brandon Miller should be playing, I think we can all agree him having a teammate pat him down like he's looking for a gun during the player introductions is a bad look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I will say that, apparently, they have been doing that all season but... yeah.... I also enjoy that of course the Bama SID keeps telling the media to only ask questions about the game That goes about as well as you expect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which just goes back to the Alabama staff being a bunch of clueless yutzes. Probably shouldn't have been doing it all year but definitely should have had a staff member tell him to knock it off before this game. Not a good look at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 With their tough win over St. Mary's last night, Gonzaga clinched a share of the WCC league championship for the 11th straight year. This is also their 16th consecutive season with 25 or more wins. That's pretty freaking amazing. I've said it before but I'll say it again - I love St. Mary's. Randy Bennett gets more out of his players than anybody. He's averaged over 26 wins a year the last 16 seasons, playing in a league with Gonzaga. That's incredible.

Gonzaga and St. Mary's split, so on to #2. 2) Who did you lose to? Gonzaga and St. Mary's have the exact same losses - each other and then Loyola Marymount. 3) Who is higher in the NCAA NET rankings? St. Mary's is ranked higher, so they get the higher WCC seed. I'm not quite sure how St. Mary's ended up higher in the NET rankings. They were almost tied going into last night's game, which Gonzaga won. In the article posted by the WCC announcing the seedings, they listed the conference standings - and put Gonzaga at #1.

Dolfan in NYC Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 I should note, that the ladies at Columbia have been more than pulling their weight this season. If they win on Saturday, they will clinch Columbia women's first Ivy League regular season championship ever. Also, at 22-4, they've won 10 more games than all 4 years I went to school there.

Brian Fowler Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Detroit Mercy's Antoine Davis missed a buzzer beating three that would've tied Pete Maravich's NCAA all-time scoring record.

Seems really cynical for the school to pay $50,000 just to the coach's son can set a scoring record. And don't forget, Davis is on his fifth season... Maravich did it in three seasons WITHOUT a three-point line. But whatever... not my money. Also, this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh there's no question this isn't the same thing as what Pistol Pete did. He averaged 44 points a game, Davis around 25. Kinda like when Melvin Gordon almost got to Barry's single season rushing yards record awhile back. He got within 41 yards. But Barry did his when you only played 11 games and bowls didn't get count in statistics, while Gordon had 12 regular season games, the B1G title game, and a bowl game.
