Number 25 in today's AP rankings. TCU was bounced and replaced by Georgetown.

A big Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Ron, all the board members, team and staff, and Hoya fans everywhere. Also, best wishes for an exciting and victorious BE season and a nice long run in the Big Dance.

Enjoy this special time with family and friends. All best.

LBJ's 4th grade kid in a holiday basketball tourney

the kid has some serious skills already --- not even joking

thought people might enjoy this -- the kids are all very cute






LBJ Son

Some have suggested it's because he's playing the point-guard position, which has shifted his focus from scoring to running the offense. However, in his best shooting performance of the year, the game against Wisconsin, he played the point, and scored very efficiently. Additionally, the ball handling responsibilities are usually shared with Jabril Trawick and to a lesser degree LJ Peak, so I don't think playing the point is the major reason for his low percentages. DSR is too good a shooter to be so inconsistent from the perimeter. The bottom line is DSR has to improve his practice habits to improve his shooting percentages. Playing the point is not an excuse, and he's more than capable of shooting higher percentages. BJ

again. the kid down at arlington country day. were seen in s.c. looking at him.

Number 26 in AP and Coaches polls. Top vote getter outside the top 25. Bib, big game Saturday due to the national exposure. Joshua Smith must stay out of foul trouble.

is up front.

talked the drive and kicks given up

and the frosh

thompson was miffed. those cats are gonna work on that!

this and that: charlotte

is here

wow Fran had his Owls running on all cylinders.

Michigan State loses to Texas Southern (1-8) in overtime; Xavier Falls to Auburn also in overtime. Villanova avoids the upset by Syracuse also in overtime. Georgetown in regulation defeats Charlotte.

could be very very good news for Monroe in his contract season

shocked that they dumped Smith but he really was a poor fit with that roster

semi...hoyas not strong in running.

reaching out to his camp. trying to.

heard through grapevines duke is saying kid is not tough...and not skilled.

why?? (and this is for this board only please)

kid is certainly tough! the skills..okay, he's not a good driver...as much as others.

but he can shoot. and plays hard.

recruiting is a trip. hahaha

Myles, sfa's hc, on what jt3 said to him about bracey:

"he said he scored the ball, made plays for others defended. thinks he can be a great point guard in their system".

his name is anthony longpre...6'9" canadian at glenelg country

from an excellent source:

"skilled forward, good body, good iq, can make 3's, can put on deck in half court...in 2 or three bounces finish at rim.

ok athlete not great. Very smart.

great jab step move every time he touches it. patient".

terps sniffing around

wisconsin involved

article coming tomorrow:

on g'town. this came after tudor's win tonight over lawrence central: "To be honest my familairty probably begins and ends with my dad and probably otto porter. im not that big of a college basketball fanatic for them, because I haven't seen them play as much. but i do know that Coach Thompson is a great coach, and I know my Dad's old coach is a great coach.

"So I'm happy they are recruiting me and looking for me, especially because they are my Dad's old school".

hardy is at park tudor vs lawrence central...scouting (presumably) jaren jackson jr

he said he enjoyed it alot. and outside of a few misses, the hoyas should have won.
