    Cal winning the ship next year

    In the Pac-12?

    Pac 12 and national championship. They signed 2 of the best 3 forwards in this class and already have a solid backcourt. They should run through the pac 12 with ease. Should be a fun team to watch. They have the talent to make a real run at the ship next year.

    Who would you rather have, Blake Griffin or Deandre Jordan?' Defense and rebounds' from your top guy is so, so fuking overated. Gicve me Okafor


    AND...Id take Russel and Mudiay over Towns. Somebody's nees to tell these nggas this aint the 90s, its a perimeter league. The best, and most dominant players, are guards and forwards

    You think Towns is Noah and Deandre? He's way more skilled offensively than they are, and he can make free throws

    How the hell is Northwestern's basketball team in a big conference, but has never been to an NCAA tournament? That's just embarrassing, especially considering how smaller schools with nowhere near Northwestern's budget have gone multiple times and won games lol.

    Also gonna leave this here, I know he didn't amount to much in the league but Alexander Johnson had one of the most ferocious dunks of all-time, not to mention he made the and one free throw too:

    Your backcourt is sick. Murray is nice but the front court looks a little weak. Skal is good tho. Aldridge light. This team isn't as good as UK teams the past few years but it's still one of the best 10 rosters in college basketball. Wouldn't be surprised if they made it back to the final 4.

    New ASU coach Bobby Hurley said he always wanted to play against quality teams when he was at Duke. The Sun Devils, who could struggle this season, have three true road games: Kentucky, Creighton and UNLV. ASU plays Texas A&M, Stephen F. Austin and Belmont in Tempe and will face NC State and possibly LSU in Brooklyn as part of the Legends Classic.

    Ex-Louisville recruit JaQuan Lyle confirms ? allegations for NCAA

    Ex-Louisville recruit JaQuan Lyle confirms ? allegations for NCAA
    October 8, 2015 10:42 am ET

    JaQuan Lyle (USATSI) Ohio State JaQuan Lyle spoke to the NCAA about his recruiting visit to Louisville. (USATSI)

    Ohio State freshman JaQuan Lyle spoke with an NCAA investigator this week about his recruiting visit to Louisville in June 2013 and confirmed the gist of allegations involving paid escorts during his trip to the school, a source with knowledge of the NCAA's investigation told CBS Sports on Thursday morning.

    "He told the truth," the source said.

    The allegations were made in a book published last Friday night called "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the ? Queen." In it, Katina Powell, a self-described madam, writes that she took four escorts, at the request of former Louisville staff member Andre McGee, to do a "show" for a "new recruit named JaQuan Lyle."

    "I took Rod-Ni, TooTall, Jazmine and Shay, who calls herself Sammi," Powell wrote in a journal entry. "TooTall made $100, Shay made $100, and Jazzy made nothing because she did absolutely nothing."

    Lyle, just a couple of weeks after his visit, committed to Louisville but later de-committed. He subsequently planned to play at Oregon but ultimately landed at Ohio State.

    Ohio State associate athletic director for communications, Dan Wallenberg, told Yahoo! Sports that the school is unconcerned about Lyle's eligibility.

    "It does not affect us or JaQuan at all,” Wallenberg told Yahoo! Sports. "We've been told, and are pretty confident, this is not something we need to worry about."

    The NCAA has also already interviewed former Louisville recruit Antonio Blakeney, according to sources. Blakeney is now at LSU. What he told the NCAA remains unclear.

    Louisville's Rick Pitino has denied any knowledge of the 22 "shows" Powell claims she put on for players or recruits. McGee has not spoken publicly since the book's release.
