The play started with Johnson cleanly swiping the rebound from Randle after an Andrew Harrison missed 3. Then He and Andrew scrambling to recover it. Young does play a prominent role in the gif though getting back on D and forcing Paige to toss it high enough into the clouds that Brice was the only one with any chance to grab it and stuff it back down.

Gata special edition Lebrons are sick.
Eh I'm cool on Lebrons at the moment.
The 9s were meh, the Xs were straight, but the 11s have looked pretty bad in every colorway I've seen so far.
These are nice tho

I'm starting to see glimpses of the Duke team that was advertised in the offseason.
Getting into the passing lanes, forcing turnovers, scoring in transition.
Also Sheed Sulaimon sighting

UNC fan with a "Free PJ" sign in Cameron getting booed lol
Defense is still awful and the team is regressing to Vermont levels of ineptitude. I'd rather not make the tourney than get bounced in the 1st round.

Crowd is awful tonight and it's definitely affecting the guys. They'll pull it together.

Any one want to trade a decent big man who is at least 6'9 230 lbs for a shooting guard who averaged 12ppg a game freshman year? Kid was a MacDonalds AA and 5 star recruit too.
I swear it's a good deal.
Heels any interest in trading away McAdoo for an extra guard that could shoot the 3?
Kansas can we have Tarik Black please?

I'm not sure, but I think Cincinnati and Pittsburgh just played the worst game of basketball since they stopped using peach baskets.

There are but a few inevitables in life.
Life, death, taxes, and Duke losing to Connecticut in women's basketball

Wow the ending of the Florida Gulf Coast game is the most bullshit rule I've ever seen.
It makes sense though. How do you really know the clock accurately started when it was supposed to and not .2 seconds later?

That's what reviewing is for. I know in the NBA refs can look and see if the clock started early or late.

Florida is getting Duke's Alex Murphy, who announced he was transferring a couple of weeks ago.
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bas...-transferring-florida-gators-duke-blue-devils
For Gators fans, he reclassified during high school but redshirted his first year at Duke anyway. This is his second year playing, but has not gotten much run. He's listed at 6'8, perimeter oriented. He is deceptively athletic. I think he can be good, but he just couldn't crack Duke's notoriously short rotation last year and hasn't gotten much run this year, either.

Murph probably should have went to Florida in the first place, hindsight being 20/20. But it is what it is.
I think he can be a solid contributor for UF. Couldn't work out at Duke, but I wish him the best.

This prompted me to look up the stats of the most recent transfer out of Duke, "Silent G" Michael Gbinije. He's averaging 3.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists through 10 games at Syracase. Season high is 11 points (game 3), has gone scoreless in 3 of the last 5 games. Averages about 15 minutes per game.
Of all the transfers out of Duke's program, at least over the past 20 years, I'm not sure how many have thrived elsewhere. Billy McCaffrey was a big part of Duke as a freshman and sophomore (was in Hurley's class), and he kept it up after transferring to Vanderbilt. Elliot Williams was similarly a good contributor as a freshman at Duke and had a good year at Memphis before going pro. Off the top of my head, I don't know if any other player has gone from languishing on the bench at Duke and then being a big contributor at a different school, but I could just be misinformed. I don't recall seeing many transfers out of Duke's program eventually make it to the league.

From the same irrational confidence that makes Josh Hairston take 19 foot jumpers, you know that dude is like "give me the rock, give me the rock, I got this."

Tell your team to pretend like Texas is ranked.
Glad he joined UF. Florida's front court looks like it could be thin next year so more depth is always appreciated. Also if this has a positive affect on the possibility of getting the youngest Murphy (who some believe to be the most talented of the 3 Murphy brothers) all the better.
Was a bit of nail-bitting game against Memphis but happy to see UF win. Now UF is 2-1 in games decided in 6 or less points. A much better record so far versus 0-6 last year in similar situations. Still UF needs to see if they can improve their FTs and this game they got a little lazy with the ball with 18 turnovers. I suppose with Memphis's 4 very good guards such a stat isn't all that surprising but hopefully it's not something that crops up with too much frequency.

If Texas had any kind of discipline at all they would blowing UNC out right now.
And Leslie McDonald has as many made 3's this season as the rest of the team not named Paige.

Texas has won these close ones all year. Karma will catch up to us eventually, but I hope it's not tonight

I would foul if I were Texas. Only a 3 can tie the game, and 2 FT's can't beat you. UNC can't hit a FT to save their life anyway
If UNC could even shoot 65% on FTs we'd be up by 6 or so...
edit: FFFFUUUUU Paige
