When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

NC State signed Josh Hall, who's a 5-star player on a few of the rankings. Plenty of time for everything to go wrong, of course.

Let's see if I got all this right. Before we move on let’s sit here for just one more moment and realize that the Evansville, Indiana Purple Aces marched into Lexington and beat mother loving #1 Kentucky. The school has 2000 students. The basketball team went 11-21 last season. The only thing I know that they have other than my man CUNTLIFE is a head coach who played at Kentucky and won a championship and then played in the NBA for several years. He just happens to have been born in Evansville, Indiana. Unreal.

Please tell me more about the Purple Aces.

i mean the aces: they're bad
good in d2 forever, move to d1 and entire team killed in a plane crash in their first year
last made the ncaa's in '99
they routinely lose to teams worse than they are (posting as they just lost to SMU)
they beat Butler the year they went to the final four
they lost the MVC tournament by 2 points a few years ago but didn't get into the ncaa's because some lovely p5 school needed the slot (i think uni won the conf that year and went to the elite eight)

The best part of the first two months of the season is looking at the non-D1 schools that lovely D1 schools schedule as guarantee games to actually get a home game this time of year. For instance, VMI won 96-20 tonight against Christendom College which, if you're blissfully aware, was founded in the 70s on the explicit basis of being a US institution promoting the thought of pro-Franco Catholic fascist Brent Bozell. They have almost 500 students in the whole school, refuse federal funding so they're not subject to Title IX, and have completely sex-segregated dorms, so sounds like a good opponent to take on!

cultish organization with a basketball team? reminds me of the jonestown basketball team. they escaped the massacre because they were losing to the guyanese national team! at least i assume it was a loss, nobody ever talks about the result. i remember watching a game with university of san diego in it when they had the grandson of jim jones playing, like 12 years ago

That’s fascinating, I know a decent amount about Jonestown but never ran into that bit.

There’s so so many tiny little schools, many of them weirdo fundie ones of one stripe or another, and they all apparently have basketball teams and that’s enough to get them onto the radar of large-scale universities.

According to an SI article about it:

"Late in the game Guyana's conditioning and depth wore down the Americans, and it won by 10. But the Jones boys walked off the court knowing it was only a matter of time, lung- and legwork: They were going to take that team down."

Tennessee picked up a commit today from 4-star Uruguayan guard Santiago Vescovi. He’s an international player but what’s interesting is he could be eligible to play in January. With little experienced depth behind Bowden and Turner, this guy could be a big pick up.
