How much more accurate can a college junior become? If you're watching from the camera's angle in this GIF, you're probably thinking Tahj is a future NFL Hall of Famer. Zoom out for the full picture and none of these throws would be in vicinity of a WR, which is Tahj's issue.

Hope we can keep Tibesar around. Sure there were some breakdowns but the defense was absolutely a positive this year.

Pay wall. What's the gist of the article? Any specific details outside of the quote in the tweet? If not, this is a pretty pee poor look after the Kentucky cancellation.

Everyone knows what the inevitable outcome would be.

Rule #1: Don't talk about the Perfect Game/No Hitter

Touchdown Bullock!

Why aren't the announcers saying, "OU doesn't have a kicker," or are they directed to only talk negatively about Akron?

TOUCHDOWN AKRON! Lingard goes the distance.

Our issues continue to be coaching. Penalties, play calling - it all sucks.

Piecing this together, it sounds like Ali Ali struggled with mental health at some point - either prior to his Butler transfer or after his Butler transfer - and the mental health struggles affected or could have affected his academics. Akron is where he had/has the better support system, so he came back. At least this is what the argument seems to be. When Ali Ali missed that time last year with Butler, was that an actual injury, or was it mental health related? Something to think about. According to this article, "a player can receive immediate eligibility if they have a physical injury or mental health condition that pushed them to transfer from a school." The new restrictions were approved on January 11th, and players crafted their transfer appeals to fit within these guidelines, especially the mental health angle. Jackson from FSU, Walker from UNC, and now Ali Ali. I agree with Bilas. The NCAA crafted guidelines that included mental health as an acceptable situation for immediate eligibility. That's a loosey goosey category that isn't very difficult to meet in today's society with mental health becoming more of a major focus. @clarkwgriswold Great point about the NCAA's involvement with Bill Self's seemingly 100th infraction/violation. People are tired of corrupt organizations/associations/committees/ruling bodies. The NCAA is towards the top of that list and they continue to grow the flaming torch & pitchfork mob that's against them. Pretty big that Bilas tweeted about this. Hopefully Pat McAfee can go on another epic rant against the NCAA on Monday about this.

Wake up call for this team. They look demoralized.

Thornton can make layups this game. Good sign.

When did Colgate get added to 2024 schedule?

Video board?

Both of you are correct. I don't believe Ali Ali is as big of a positive to this team as many people make him out to be. I will always go back to his disappearance in the UCLA game, and the specific frustrations people had with him throughout that season when the movement/flow/rhythm on offense died with the ball in his hands. If Dawson is healthy last year, we would've had that legitimate complimentary piece to X2.0 & Freeman that can defend & score in a multitude of ways. That was what we were missing and what would've catapulted us to be MAC champions. Ali Ali is on our roster, and his participation decision is being held up by the crooked NCAA. Regardless, he is on our roster, therefore it is appropriate to play a bit of the "what if" game. We had an 8-man rotation after playing a tough game 24 hours prior against a team that played extremely hard, up-tempo, and a HAVOC defense. Within that 8-man rotation, 3 players barely showed up in the stat sheet. We needed 4 points. Ali Ali would've given us the depth and extra points we needed to overcome the missed layups, turnovers, etc. In addition, Utah State's length caused a lot of issues for us. Ali Ali would've been an equalizer in that department. In this game specifically, Ali Ali makes the difference. It's a damn shame the NCAA can get away with screwing around with programs and people's lives. @Zippy87 Great point about Prather Jr as well. Everything about his game during the recruiting process was exciting. Really hope whatever the issue is, it gets figured out and he can become a producer for us.

Ali Ali makes the difference in this game.

Thornton pulling up with well over 1 second left on that heave at the end was fitting for this game - we were not composed enough and peed down our legs when it mattered. The little things were not done well.

GRAB THE F'ING BALL!

Would be a great time to GET A STOP.

This is Freeman's world. We're just living in it.

My fear coming into the game was fatigue after facing that defense last night.

4 on Osobor.

I want $10 of my $30 back, FloSports.

Bad - BAD - sequence from Thornton there. Missed layup then got beat on defense and fouled. Edit: TWO MISSED LAYUPS!
