Fucking Rico Gathers..the whole god damn half he's been throwing himself around like a fucking animal. Now he throws himself into Tarik Black's knee and it looks to be bad.

Fuck that guy

It wasn't even a basketball play....you don't dive through 1/3 of another body to tie up a ball on the floor....had no angle whatsoever

He's been doing that the entire 2nd half..I told my gf right before that, that he's going to dive into Wiggin's leg and end his season the way he's been playing

Fucking chill out and play basketball

I hope Black is out for the year, because my team sucks so there is no karma and now Embiid will play even more.



In all seriousness, hope he is ok. But at least KU has depth and the position. Never good to lose a main rotation guy though, even if he is a bench player now that Embiid has emerged.

Georgetown going down for the 4th time in 5 games, after blowing yet another huge lead at home. Hoyas will fall to 11-7 overall and 3-4 in a watered-down Big East that should've been very winnable for John Thompson III's unit.

When will this guy get his walking papers? I've been advocating it for at least three years now. Nothing has changed. Same mediocre program. Georgetown is a top ten basketball school. No reason is it should be in this bad of shape.

Alex Poythress is so much better when he's aggressive. Since SEC play started he's been playing great. He's got 9 of 11 so far this half.

Willie Cauley-Stein is flat out awful lately. He's seriously been MIA since the MSU game TWO WEEKS ago. Oh, and Texas A&M sucks...

Yes.

Aaron Craft, Sam Dekker and Jordan Clarkson, off.

Nik Stauskas, Lamar Patterson and Jordan McRae, on. Clarkson isn't even the best player on his team.

If you're going to include T.J. Warren on a garbage team, why not Tyler Haws of BYU (23.6 PPG, over 4 APG)?

No Gary Harris is a travesty.

You have 4 B1G players, but none of them are the POY in the Conference...

Baylor loses by 14 at HOME vs Texas. Bears now 1-5 in the Big XII. As of now, probably out of the NCAA's. Wins over Kentucky and Colorado is all they have, and the Colorado win looks worse and worse as they might also be on the bubble.

Scott Drew has many faults, but inconsistency is not among them. He does less with more better than any other coach in the country. Any big-time recruit who buys that snake potion -- Isaiah Austin, here's to looking at you, kid -- deserves just what he gets. In Austin's case, consecutive trips to the NIT.

The Utes giving Arizona all they want in Tucson. Utah trails 26 to 29 with a minute until the half. I think Arizona holds on to win by 10 or so, but I really like this Utah team. They play extremely hard.

Utes missing one of their bigs too. Bad combo vs Zona.

Well, that half ended about as badly as it possibly could have for Utah.

"The Little Big Smooth" is really fun to watch. Here's to hoping Kyle Anderson returns to Westwood for another campaign. Really enjoy watching the kid play.

If Anderson and Adams return, UCLA is preseason top 3 next year. They have 5-star Isaac Hamilton who missed this year due to academics and 5-star big man Kevin Looney set to be impact players next year.

Alford, Lavine and Parker are all getting better and better.
