Fair warning for all you “why are we still talking about the most interesting UVa hoops recruiting story on a message board focused on UVa hoops recruiting – I really can’t imagine why” folks to close your ears and eyes:

Cory Alexander gonna interview LJ in the second half of this Wemby v. Ignite game on ESPN2. Probably after 415 pm or so.

@DFresh11 Can you get Cory to ask him about the funny story during the interview?

I keep looking up at the TV in the other end of the room, and it’s Rudy Gobert. All they said was 2nd half. Not sure when it will be

Some slight shade – asking how his team did in the tourney when he got mvp (not really, but I can dream). Cory’s gonna ask him about colleges coming out of the break

Bah, if anything interesting came up, I missed it. Had to turn it off.

It would have been low stress for me except my wife is an Iowa State alum. I watched the whole game with her careful not to smile or say a damn thing.

haha that’s great. my wife is 4th generation UNC - we agreed we won’t watch UVA vs UNC games together anymore. I’ve really enjoyed our run against them (up till last year, obviously) but had to do it with my emotions in check.

Watched the Purdue game with my Dad. I was obviously very excited, but seeing his team lose to another Bennett coached team to just miss the final 4 made it 1% bittersweet.

And then Painter mucked up the St. Peter’s game this year. I know Painter has a good rep in coaching circles, but he really mucked that one up.

My entire family are Purdue people and I grew up a fan before going to UVA. Absolutely bittersweet in '19 and I really feel for them in the years since. They’ve had good teams (winningest Big 10 team in the conference history) but can just never break through.

He also mucked the end of the 2019 game 
 no excuse for not having both Haarms and Williams in for the FT rebounding 
allowed Diakite to board vs a small forward with no hops.

Edit 
 not saying the play couldn’t have still happened but much less likely, especially if he does what I would have done 
 Williams on Salt and Haarms on Diakite on the FT.

@BDragon Ive tended to take the Xavier side in the Crosstown shootout, because I liked Pete and Prosser, and disliked Hugs, but man, these logos are another level bad. The one where the musketeer is dribbling with his cape behind him is particularly bad.

Haha yea the only good Xavier logo is the solid X on a black hat.

But do you expect from a schools who’s actual mascot is the Blue Blob

Also Sean Miller is trash and the school sold their soul to bring him back, knowing the sh$t pulled and his players got away with while he was there. Know way too much first hard about that era and what his guys were up to.

I’m not going to lie, the Blue Blob is winning me over. I love stupid mascots.

The Cincinnati Zoo usually has one that is the ambassador for the program and goes to games and stuff. Lucy was the one for a long time, but she retired three years ago and then sadly passed away of cancer not long after. Lucille is apparently the new one, but there hasn’t been much written about her in over a year
. so not sure what’s going on there.
