They also lost a couple of players to transfer, and not players they wanted to lose. One went to Marquette and one went to Arizona State. Can't wait! Old nemesis Bobby Hurley is getting some good players to come to ASU. He stole a 5 star kid away from Michigan earlier in the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The penalties aren't much at all. The asst coach's career is over. NCAA said he acted alone but he denies it. All of this for Mballa?

Post-season bans almost never occur in college basketball -- can't think of any recent cases. Univ. of Hawai'i had a very similar case with an assistant coach forging financial docs for an overseas player. They were docked one scholarship recruit for two seasons -- a worse penalty than the Bulls received. The assistant is always the fall guy -- think John Loyer and Huggins.

The loss of a scholarship would be more acceptable than what they got. I'm starting to think the NCAA asked Rob Manfred for his advice on what type of punishment to hand out.

Hard to hate him, and he is the best coach OU has had since Groce. Gonna be a fun rivalry for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I've watched all the apparent contenders play at least once this year and also think OU is a step above the pack at this point. Buffalo played at BG last night in a key matchup and I wasn't much impressed with either. It appeared that the Bulls might get a W on BG's floor then Turner just took over the game late to secure a Falcon win. They don't have much behind him other than Plowden. BG is soft inside and was out rebounded significantly by the Bulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as much as Groce, but I think Boals is also a great coach. But that's neither here nor there. I just am extremely impressed with OU's starting lineup. F - Ben Vander Plas: an All-MAC caliber player and potential MAC POY type of talent F - Dwight Wilson: they just got this guy (transfer from James Madison?) and he's a stud. 6-8, 250 & can play. He, together with Vander Plas make for the best front court in the league. (Granted, I haven't seen the Zips play yet, but these two are tough.) W - Ben Roderick: sophomore who is coming into his own. Basically, he single-handedly led his team to the Ohio D-1 state semi-finals his senior year. W - Lunden McDay: STVM's McDay is actually the weakest link of their starting 5, and Lunden's a very solid all-around baller. PG - Jason Preston: this guys is special. I hate to say it, but I think he's going to overtake LCJ for MAC POY. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zips play them twice. They have distinct advantage. Groce will need to pull out a miracle to avoid being in bottom 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Buffalo looked great vs. 'Cuse for about 30 minutes. Unfortunately they had to go 45 minutes though. Mballa has been a beast on the block since returning from injury. Don't see how anybody in the MAC slows him down. Maybe go right at him to try to get him in foul trouble and get Brock (The Statue) Bertram on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
