Our friend Andre Curbelo still waiting on his waiver. I would be stunned if he got it.

I wonder how fun living in Hattiesburg, Miss., will be without basketball.

I would love to know what he argues in his waiver. Mental strain of playing for Mike Anderson?

Hey if he does win could that bolster SJU's case for firing him for cause?

Duke loses home opener. Hope VJ was watching. Coach K did not look happy in the stands.

Who did they lose to?

Arizona

Nice win by my Chattanooga Mocs over Louisville Cards in LVille. View attachment 1484

I think Payne not lasting the full season is a pretty safe bet.

LSU looking ahead to Charleston I guess, got beat 68-66 by Nichols St as a 20 point favorite

Interesting piece on Doug Edert of St Peter’s Dance fame & media darling w his “stache”

Doug Edert is returning to New Jersey, 'the best state,' to face Rutgers basketball

Two seasons removed from his epic run with Saint Peter's, the Bergen Catholic grad has experienced bends in the road at Bryant.

Davidson with a nice upset win over Maryland last night.
AJ Storr went for 17 in Wisconsin loss to Tennessee but only shot 7-20 from the field. Looks like he will be one of their core starters.

Btw I saw David Jones played last night for Memphis. I was under the impression he needed an undergrad waiver as well. 3 years and his 2nd transfer.

Not so, he actually graduated in 3 years. Interesting how did I miss that.

But David will have the distinction of likely helping to get 2 coaches fired...

Rough start for potential coaching carousel darling Keith Urgo and Fordham. Needed OT to beat Wagner in the opener and now getting drubbed at Rose Hill by Cornell. Might be a return to normal up by the zoo.

Joel ought to feast off his old school. Fordham does not appear to play anyone taller than 6'8".

Just watched Maryland lose to 0-2 UAB to fall to 1-2 on the season thus far. Maryland looks awful under Willard. I thought they’d be further along at this point frankly.

 

[paultzman]

For UAB Yaxel Lendeborg had 8 points, 5 rebounds & 4 blocks, one a key one at end of game

 

[Moose]

So what I’m gathering is we always had players just had shit coaches

They had a great start last year and won an NCAA tournament game. Team looks offensively challenged at this point. Willard hasn't played the transfer portal well at Maryland and are relying too heavily on inexperienced players for scoring. I would expect them to get better as the season goes along but time will tell.
