Early Season Basketball Tourneys

[dawgtalk03]

No Respect as always and this Jason King guy from Yahoo sports says Renardo won't be eligible by that point which is wrong. He will play in the Bahamas against Virginia Tech before we fly to Hawaii!

HAWAIIAN AIRLINES DIAMOND HEAD CLASSIC
Date: Dec. 22-23, 25
Location: Stan Sheriff Center; Honolulu, Hawaii</p>

Bracket
Mississippi State vs. Washington State
San Diego vs. Baylor
Utah vs. Butler
Florida State vs. Hawaii</p>

Best first-round game: Renardo Sidney won’t be eligible yet
for Mississippi State, but the Bulldogs’ opener against Klay Thompson
and Washington State should be entertaining. Look for the Cougars to be
one of the country’s more improved teams in 2010-11.</p>

Best potential second-round game: The loss of Solomon Alabi
hurts, but Florida State still boasts a stud in Chris Singleton and a
potential stud in Michael Snaer. Whether they can lead the Seminoles
past Shelvin Mack and 2010 national runner-up Butler is another
question.</p>

Projected final: The arrival of future lottery pick Perry
Jones and the return of senior scoring machine LaceDarius Dunn have led
to high hopes at Baylor. But the Bears will have problems if they don’t
find a serviceable replacement for point guard Tweety Carter. Perhaps
someone will step up in the championship game against Butler.</p>

Top NBA prospect: Some NBA mock draft have Baylor’s Jones
going as high as No. 2 next summer. Pretty lofty expectations for a guy
who has yet to play a college game.</p>

Top newcomer: Jones is the easy answer here. But a few others
to watch are Florida State’s Ian Miller and Okaro White. Both are top
75 recruits.</p>

Projected NCAA tournament teams: Baylor, Butler, Florida State</p>

Do what? Surely we'll make sure we get enough games in beforeat least this tournament, if not both of the ones we're playing in. Right?

Editted to add: He has to sit out our first 9 games and we played our 12th game last year on December 22. I think he'll play in Hawaii.

I tucked this away back on March 5th. Guess I'll pull it out now since its a slow sports season right now.

1. Sidney decides to stay in school- everything is re-paid, and he is ready to go next year <span style="font-weight: bold;">(FlabLoser: check, sorta)</span>
2. The hype starts that this is finally @%##*#*!%*'s team to make a big run<span style="font-weight: bold;"> (FlabLoser: negative ghostrider)</span>
3. We are a preseason top 25 team next season <span style="font-weight: bold;">(FlabLoser: nada)</span>
4. I remind you guys that no matter who plays for us, we still have @%##*#*!%*'s coaching <span style="font-weight: bold;">(FlabLoser: absolute check, self-fulfilling)</span>
5. A couple of OOC losses have people amazed again
6. Neither Sidney nor Augustus wants to bang inside, Elgin Bailey legs
don't work because of injuries, Riek makes us wish we had Wesley Morgan,
and Lewis can't handle the post job for us
7. We are on the bubble aGAIN next year after finishing in a 3 way tie for the West title with Mississippi and UPig

We make the Tourney as a 12 seed and lose in round 1 in the Northeast somewhere

@%##*#*!%* pulls in 2 of the big 2011 recruits- sheep claim we can't do
any better, Byrne can't pull the trigger because we made the NCAA's, and
we languish on in our vicious cycle
