Believe they advanced to semis this past weekend. This must be a replay.

Yes, was looking at a 3 day old twitter post (so, nobody tune in).

Semifinal game is Saturday at 5 pm on ESPN.
 
Fun watching the game. Paris, DJ and co were down by 13 with a few to go in the 1st half. Now up 14 8 or so game minutes later. 11:50 to go. Kyle Fogg and DJ leading the team. Great guards, Eric McCollum, Myck Kabongo
 
They were talking about 2 lottery picks on the other team, Demarr Johnson is playing OK. Michael Sweetney is useless. Have barely seen him. I think he's twice his playing weight. As am I by the way.

Oh, and D'Andre Kane and Paris.
 
Great game right now. No quit in our former Johnny boys!
 
Overseas Elite won by 5. DJ with the big basket with about a minute to go. Congrats to him and Paris on their share of $2 million. They took home part of a $1 million pot last year.

Yes and
At the game's ending interview Kennedy - ever the gracious one - said he's using the money for his family whom (playing overseas) he rarely gets to see!
Good for a good guy!!

Plenty of NBA teams are missing out on an opportunity to bring him closer to his family. He could play in the league, I am sure of it.
 
OE was down 20 in the first half. I put the game on in time to see a guy drive to his left and then slash to the rim. I said "gotta be Paris". The announcers the went on to give him some props, as well as the SJU mention.

That basket was the play of the game as he made a circus shot with maybe two seconds on the shot clock. No doubt he wanted the ball at crunch time and his team deferred to him. He shoulda gotten MVP.

Nice hustle play but it looked like goaltending

The rules were a hybrid of what you see here and internationally. For instance, they used the international rule where you can take the ball off of the rim or "goaltend" a shot going into the basket. Therefore, DJ's block was perfectly legal.

Reminded me of an NBA game where a team is down by a lot early and winds up winning. They also pulled the same feat in the semis on Saturday.

I saw the breakdown of the winnings on Sportscenter but can't find it in print. Boosters and fans share in the pot to.
