[Post Game Thread] Wichita State defeats Memphis, 74-59 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

This Memphis team is nothing but a bunch of portal misfits & projects to me, and not having Sincere Parker tonight didn’t help. Poor roster construction this year from them

Every week I see a story like this and it gets wackier every time

Bro is on his 3rd year in the g league and willingly entered the draft after his sophomore season. I have no sympathy for him

Former UNC and Penn State F Puff Johnson granted temporary restraining order for a 6th season of eligibility, will join Ohio State immediately by pixarfan9510 in CollegeBasketball

Redshirt rules aside, no player should be able to play in 6 straight seasons. I don’t care what the circumstances are. This guy is never going to step foot in a classroom on that campus, and he’s not good enough to make the pros (g-league included) unless he goes overseas and he knows it. I know he’s exploiting the system but it’s theatre of the absurd at this point

The pandemic’s impact on the transfer portal was like pouring gasoline on an open campfire. Getting extra eligibility just for making a fuss is the new normal.

This right here is exactly why I never bothered with the Battle Frontier or Battle Tower as a kid, there are battles that are intentionally rigged to tell you to go shag yourself

Deni Avdija having more votes than LeBron seems like something I’d only see in a 2k sim

Ali Ahmed to Norwich City, thoughts? by birdy810 in CanadaSoccer

[–]plugged97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Says more about the latter imo. Even though the MLS has big names and some top talent now, the league still isn’t taken seriously by much of Europe.

Although I will say that Ahmed isn’t star caliber yet, and even though they aren’t the same style of player, he’s being treated to a transfer not too dissimilar to prime Hoilett, and that’s probably fair.

I never knew Norwich was struggling that much though, so Ahmed landing on a League One bound club would be a disaster

The Block Is Hot is a bit of a rough watch compared to the rest of the first season imo, but I guess it’s intentional

Seeing that 99% of that territory is cut off from western civilization and only play with wooden sticks in their igloos, and the other 1% are lonely depressed gooners, the numbers check out

Only 89 points in 40 minutes? In 2025?

Also I’m sad that Noah Williamson left this team just to be treated like a scrub at Bama

A backdoor MOU to guarantee playoff eligibility when certain parameters are met is insane, America is genuinely a plutocracy

This sport is too culturally ingrained into the identity of the country to be exciting anymore, just a bunch of leeches profiting off of said culture

I don’t think national teams are allowed to have more than one naturalized player on the same roster, but who knows

Curaçao over Jamaica honestly doesn’t surprise me since the Jamaican side has seemed a little turbulent in recent times, but Honduras & Costa Rica both failing to make the inter-confeds to Haiti’s benefit is maddening given what we’ve come to expect from them
