Kellen Thames is as rare as they come in modern college sports. Born & raised in St. Louis & now played all 5 years at SLU even with a coaching change & now that loyalty is paying dividends for him🫡

MARYLAND THROWBACK JERSEYS🐢 They’re beautiful 🥹

Flory Bidunga & Obinna Ekezie Jr is an ungodly good center duo for Louisville. Pat Kelsey has NEVER had a big like either of them in his career let alone 2 of them this good

Love exhibition games in CBB. Giving us a taste before the season. But people for sure overreact more than ever bc the games have become more accessible than ever (to generate money in the preseason for NIL). We’re not used to having full games so much in October, usually just box scores. Teams are VERY experimental with rotations, run minimal true sets & systems. The games don’t mean NOTHING. I use them to watch things I have questions about which in this era is a lot. Freshmen, transfers & newcomers, new coaches & the looks they like. Enjoy them, love having CBB on my screens!!!!! But just be aware of making forgone conclusions from 40 minutes of exhibition ball in October

Look at Allen Fieldhouse… for this EXHIBITION GAME I will get to Lawrence this season good god it’s amazing

If you could change ONE RULE in college basketball… what would it be?

Houston's defensive capabilities are going to be better than ever... even by their standard. Kelvin Sampson's best defense was 2024/25 at 86.8 pts allowed per 100p & that was the best defensive rating in last 4 years in the NATION. This year's defense could be even better...

Phil Martelli Jr (@VCU_Hoops)🗣️ "We always chase GREAT. 'Good' is like nails on a chalkboard, we only want GREAT." So what does *GREAT* look like after beating UNC & going to the round of 32? "I don't have a qualifier on what GREAT is but Selection Sunday is my favorite day"

Mahomes gave his Texas Tech friend some of that magic ACL recovery. Got surgery on March 19th. December would put him at around 9 months. Also... Duke vs Tech rematch 12/21 at MSG👀

Jeremy Fears RISE UP… made me pop out of my seat, don’t see this from him OK
