That frontcourt that they had last year made A LOT of things, that would have been a problem for 99.9% of the country, not a problem for them.

They were 156th in offensive turnover rate. (For context, Illinois with Kasparas was 96th)

3pt percentage wasn't exactly an issue; they were 32nd. But, they did have two non-shooting big men on the floor most of the game (we saw how much that hurt Mike Woodson).

They weren't completely flawless. But their strengths were unmatched most of the time.

Their paint defense was incredible. Their defense was:

-- 3rd nationally in BLK%
-- 2nd nationally 2pt percentage allowed
-- They did all that without fouling; 14th nationally in FT rate allowed.

This plus Morez & Lendenborg being able to guard on the perimeter made them special

Makes our Braggin’ Rights game harder. Would have preferred he’d gone to UK.

Hopefully the NCAA (and SEC is involved as well) will be granted a stay in this. There is precedent danger with the NCAA getting player victories overturned in the Tennessee/Ohio/other states I'm forgetting.

The California case certainly does not mean immunity. The TRO granted in California, just like the ones in Ohio, Tenn, Georgia, is a temporary relief order and subject to NCAA appeals. There's also precedent danger with the NCAA already successfully securing higher court stays to overturn these other athlete wins.

The Ohio/Tenn/Colorado/Georgia cases do not help his chances, they hurt it immensely.

There is also the protect college sports act which is supposedly getting a senate vote in a few weeks.

Haven't really looked into it or what it would do but it's being pushed by the NCAA so I would imagine it would allow them to enforce the rules they put in place.

I expect more interest in the Senate for a bill now that college football is being impacted by the chaos since football is the driving moneymaker.
