LSU Men's Basketball Official Thread (The Pear is back!)

oh, I'm not arguing that he's a lot better than the guy that got fired.

I just find it comical that the LSU fanbase was obsessed with Wade, and only Wade as the replacement.
as in not another single human anywhere on the planet would have been a better choice.
Yes it’s a bit short sighted but he did make basketball fun and is willing to do whatever it takes, I guess he’s a good “cultural fit” even though there’s probably someone out there who could win at a higher level

2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

What are the realistic expectations for Alex Smith next year? Will he be able to provide some depth?
Probably won't get a regular role, but eventually just about every recruited bench player get chances to prove themselves. His role is 3-point shooting off the bench & if he proves capable he could back up Bynum at the 4 & may see some time at the 3 situationally.

SF/PF Devin Royal (transfer to ???)

still cant believe they had dusty may and calipari interested and instead hired the assistant of the failing program
meh - Royal isn't transferring due to coaching. He was going to lose his starting spot to a freshman and isn't likely to get paid big in the NBA, so this was a financial decision as well.

Random pictures of the day

Ahh yes. getting blasted in the face with the small ball that was rock hard dimpled pain moving at 100 MPH.
Good times, good times.
In elementary school we called in dodgeball and everyone was in a circle and you rolled the ball but in junior high we called in prison ball and we chucked those red rubber balls as hard as we could

When Ohio State made it to the Final Four

The 1999 team is also notable for the fact that they turned around completely from being a single-digit winning team to a single-digit losing team that made the Final Four. I'm not sure that ever happened at another power conference team before. 8-22 in 1998, 27-9 in 1999. Miami FL this year had a huge turnaround (7-24 to 26-9) but it's not quite the same. With the transfer portal now, you can rebuild an entire team in one offseason, but no one did that in 1999.

BP Fantasy Baseball est. 2008 (Current Champion = Ahiacitian)

Your previous thoughts led me to this. We only have 12 teams. There are 30 MLB teams. There is no way our 12 teams have 90 starters (top 3 on each team). So, the two game per week model would challenge more than using only 40% of MLB rosters. We could add 3 P slots and 3 H slots to each roster to accommodate. This still doesn’t even get us to 50% of MLB rosters. As it is, every third to fourth week,you are going to have your aces pitch twice in a week, which could also cause some luck/imbalance to a matchup.

Watching these guys play once a week is bad.

Watching them play twice would be twice as bad.

Check my math but I think I did it right.
