Jumping in way late but finally have time to read through the forums again with a new job. Anyone else super excited for the Champions Classic tonight with the 3v4 and 1v2 match-ups?

Oh hell yeah dude! I've had a huge chubber all day. Thought about going to the games, tickets aren't TOO bad but my buddy was being a whiner about Langfords injury and now MSU will get killed.. whatev

Well as a born and raised UK I can only hope that it'll be a blowout! But realistically I think it will be a great game down to the final minutes

as long as dook loses, that's all I care about!

amen

except also i really want kentucky to win, to redeem themselves from last year. that was brutal. on the upside, things can't possibly get worse. although i do feel like full scale nuclear war breaking out would come close.

Not the most fundamentally sound games last night but I for one was entertained throughout. Plus Tyrese Maxey looks to be a stud. Looking forward to this season as a Cats fan!

Looking forward to watching UNC tonight. I expect them to be sloppy tonight as well. But UNC is so deep, this should be a pretty fun year as long as the offense clicks.

I'm so glad college basketball is back. It's always been my favorite sport, edging out the NFL and before-September baseball. Both my teams won -- My hometown team Indiana played a cupcake and my alma mater Oklahoma State struggled against Oral Roberts but won.

The Cowboys in real life just snagged the No. 2 guy in the 2020 class, a guard out of Florida, and we're waiting on the announcement tomorrow about the No. 19 kid, a 4-star from Tulsa. Hoping the 5-star helps us get the 4-star, like Juwan Howard did for the Fab Five. If we can land both, most sites have OSU with a top-five class. Exciting times.

Ohhhhh boooooooy. You opened up the fab five door! The reason I love anything and everything sports related to this day. That was where sports started for me.

But I didn't understand the Juwan Howard comment. All 5 of them boys were like top 19 rated in the country. Yes, they came together for each other. But Webber was 1 and Rose was like 4 I think. And Howard, King, and Jackson were all like 5 thru 19 if I'm not mistaken

Edit.... I just read where Jackson was ranked 84 but the rest were top 9

According to the Fab Five documentary on ESPN a few years ago, Juwan Howard committed early on and then helped recruit Webber and Rose. That was my only point when it came to OSU -- landing the 5-star would make it more likely the 4-star comes as well.

Ahhhh. I thought you were implying that juwan was a 4 star. My err

Related: I'm not a Michigan fan, but I am hoping Juwan can make good there. I love seeing guys come home. I'm following Memphis and Georgetown for the same reason.

All I remember is a Time Out.

If that's all you remember, you missed a lot of things that came about, due to that group of young men. Good, bad, and ugly.

Got off the ship this morning in Fort Lauderdale...it was 82°. Got off the plane this afternoon in Columbus, Ohio and it's 32°.
I wanted to stay in Grand Turk and live on the beach but that wasn't going to happen.
Ohio roads are pure trash. Our state bird is an orange construction cone.
My WVU Mountaineers looked good in their first game against Akron. A young team with some solid players, but conference play will be tough.

all i remember is that if we didn't run into those bunch of cheaters, it would have been kentucky in the finals!! mashburn's effort in that final 4 was the stuff of legends, but it just wasn't enough.

Black shoes, black socks. And plenty of attitude.

Bunch of cheaters, that laid the blueprint for your Kentucky coach to be a cheater. Haha. Like I said, lots of things came from that team. Good bad and ugly
