did find this https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-defense-bill-bans-transgender-surgeries-minors-pay concerning the military while California is paying https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-defense-bill-bans-transgender-surgeries-minors-pay. All said I would certainly hope they would end it along with other things outside of life and death for the criminals that came in illegally.

The four that stand out to me are Sears, Nembhard, Jones, and Smith with Jones and Smith probably being to top 2 in either order. I suspect that both will end up first team All American along with Flagg, Broome, and one other.

I dont want to be impressed by Flagg, but Flagg is as good as advertised, atleast at the college level. But I agree, I think Smith has a great shot at the Cousey award.

I know as fans we love looking at the bracketolgy of every sports writer, even the ones that know less than us, but its really useless, way to much basketball left. Only a bit over half way through the Big Ten season and none of the Big Ten playoffs.

But we have been better than I thought, even if I feel we are a bit over ranked.

But Matt Painter is a top 5 coach in the country right now. Not sure I can think of 5 better coaches coaching basketball right now.

Colored is a word used in this thread by racists. Like the rest of us you appear to be seasoned. You should know full well that since the 60s calling someone colored is a racial slur. You say that it’s used in this thread to say people of color. Then say “People of color”.

Click to expand...

do you not understand that people of color are colored merely by the exact words...and none of that means anything as far as racism. Your denigrating Thomas Sowell is much more racist than me liking him for his brilliance. You don't believe that this smart man is "black enough" and I don't care that he is a black man, because he is smart and I admire his brilliance. You see, I look for thought, not color in the world I live which is the opposite of your approach. You see black and white and I see those not very bright and those that are...and a degree doesn't automatically put one on one side of the ledger as we should all know here

I think I did read something along those lines, but not sure where it was. If I get a few minutes in a bit I may do a search. I mean it only makes sense...

They peaked early and are regressing I guess. OR all that travel for big ten play is really getting to them.

Chances are unlikely that there will be 3 SEC, # 1 seeds on Selection Sunday. Good Purdue needs to show up for the rest of the regular season, avoid any further home losses, PSU like losses, and attain their three Pete. Unbelievably, a # 1 seed awaits.

Click to expand...

Just sneak on into that backdoor 1…if they get the 1…would they get the Midwest?

If not, I’d rather them get the 2 in the Midwest to play in Indy for second weekend.

What’s crazy is that Paint isn’t being talked about anywhere for NCOTY. But here he is, going for a 3 peat and potentially a third straight one seed. More than likely it’ll be a 2 or 3, but still losing the NPOTYx2 and still having your team be this competitive and not even have a transfer, is ridiculous.

Sears has sat out an entire half in one win for bama in conf play due to Oats thinking others gave them a better chance to win and Sears also sat out a majority (if not all) of the second half vs illinois where he went 0fer and his team still dominated without him. So he’s out in my book.

Comes down to Kam Jones vs Braden. Jones is very good, so not sure who is going to get the nod.

If being like Cousy is really what the award is about out these days Smith should win it. Smith would need to work on that baby hook on the move to be even more like Cousy!

Click to expand...

yeah, but the most famous was his ball handling and dribbling and Braden would be the best I've seen to represent Bob Cousy...especially since I'm unaware of anyone other than Zavier Simpson in at least the last decade that shot a hook from the one spot

Gman544 said:

Some of these teams have at least two six five guards who they send at Braden. You will see him have a momentary open look but the big guard makes up some territory and the shot is altered a bit. Or he passes the ball. He makes it up elsewhere with drives and his patenting pull up.

Click to expand...

Could you believe his double clutch score over Mgbako 6'9" at the rim and the drive to the baseline and a quick step inward at the last second to score over 6'5" Leal and his drive to the left side of the rim to use the rim early in the game? Still those 6'5" guards are harder to shoot over than a smaller one...if he can't get around them especially.

I was one who thought the extra bulk was going to be an issue. But he's figure out how to back down the big rig and get to he left shoulder for that deadly baby hook.

Once I saw him score on Kalkbrenner in the scrimmage with ease, I knew he’d have no trouble scoring on ppl. Would like to see Broome on him again…maybe like F4 rematch 😂

As recently as a week and a half ago the Sleepers guys stated that there were 'a lot of bigs in the conference' who would be better than TKR playing along Braden in Purdue's system.

tjreese said:

I haven't see enough of the others. Kam is certainly a great player and Sears can shoot it, but who actually represents closest to Bob Cousy's ball handling and passing if this is truly about a player most closely representing Bob Cousy? That would separate Kam from Braden. Braden's assists are also different than Kam's...much more directly leading to a basket in that he creates so much of the conditions
