Maybe so. And still will be making all the noise in June. I'm all for championships and going pro. NIT championship and 2-3 lottery picks better than making round of 32 with no NBA picks at all

You sound like a UK fan. Why do NBA picks matter more to a collegiate fan base?

Because I'm grown and not a college student anymore. Colleges pay for performance. I couldn't play basketball so I had to pay for my education. I want them players to get as much as possible out of this system. Winning championships and going pro all that matters for me. They get paid for basketball not academics. Kinda stupid question you asked from such smart fella. Would you ask a law student why he wanted to be a lawyer or somebody in med school why they wanted to become an doctor. Brothers need get paid too

did you get your money back?

I'm not going to law classes and rooting them on, am I? If I only cared about them making the NBA, I'd go watch the NBA draft. I have a degree from UC, which I can all but guarantee you don't. I care about the school as well, not just whether a couple players make the NBA.

Obviously I'm happy if a UC player makes the NBA. I'm also happy if they get a degree and get a good non-basketball job.

I guess your happy after UC won the championship against GW this weekend. Did you celebrate hard after that championship?

Would you go to debate class and tell the debaters it's life outside of law? Having guys go pro is university #1money maker. Kentucky last 5 classes of lottery picks alone could come together and build 10 state of art arena. Why wouldn't I promote and help to best of my ability in making BASKETBALL players dreams come true? Every player dream on our team is NBA not working as some substitute teacher. Name one uc basketball player in past 25yrs that has made name for himself outside of basketball just using his uc degree?

Haven't made one dollar doing something I needed my degree for. It's not what you know all about who you know. Unless you have ZERO survival skills or you going for FREE I wouldn't pay $10 for an degree. I could get certified in 10 skills for 95% cheaper than college
 
Not only did Ben Simmons go off last night, but Kris Dunn had a triple double...16 PTS 14 AST 10 REB. Those 2 guys and Denzel Valentine are awesome.
 
Was sitting around channel surfing and I stumbled upon a documentary called Iverson. For a guy his size to be as dominate in his day was incredible. They showed him employing his cross over dribble against Jordan. MJ a all league defender was helpless. Allen was a gifted athlete. One of the greats.
 
No Dunn or Bentil for Providence...and they are down 28-19 to Bryant with under 5 to go in the half. Sucks for them...it'd be like us having SK and JJ out 2 years ago.
 
Butler up 48-43 at half on Tennessee. They were down by about 7 at one point and Dunham is only 1-7 from the floor. I hope they end up as a Top 15 team.

*Bentil ended up coming off the bench. Just saw he wasn't starting and on Twitter said he was questionable. Ended up playing 25 minutes though.
