Had no idea KC Hankton played for Chattanooga now. Has 8 points midway through the second half on ESPN

I wish he would have worked out.  Always expected more than what we got from him. But seemed like a good dude.

wow what a shot to win by Chattanooga! 40 foot off-balance three pointer at the buzzer

French is no longer with Krka, per their website. "Naši košarkarji bodo nastopili brez Hasahna Frencha, s katerim smo se sporazumno razšli". Translation " Our basketball players will play without Hasahn French, with whom we parted ways amicably". That is why he is in D.C. with the team.

How long until the Tall Blacks have to rename their team? #CancelNewZealand 

I know this is in jest, but for anyone who doesn't know: The Tall Blacks nickname is a play on the NZ National Rugby team nickname "All Blacks" because their uniform is all black.  It is one of those things that sounds cringeworthy but has nothing to do with race.

Many NZ National teams use the "blacks" nickname as a piggyback off the rugby team.

Hilariously the badminton team briefly went by the "Black *****" nickname, but they no longer do.  Cancel culture came for the NZ badminton team before it was even a thing.

I couldn't wear it, for obvious reasons, but it'd be hilarious

Looks like Has is going to give football a try again.

I spotted J good, Roby, Yuri, Nesbitt, okoro, and Pickett. Anyone else of note?

Too bad he left SLU because Goodwin wanted his number 23.

Every time this gets bumped I secretly hope it’s a Grandy Glaze update.

Pretty sure I would put up 10 points and 5 boards in Denmark. 
 

JK in all seriousness congrats to Mr. Moore!

WOW!  Having been to PB and UAPB, this is unfathomable to me.  The campus is an HBCU that time forgot.  The city is terrible and the smell from the paper plant permeates everything.  Golden Lions 28 and 90 over last four years comign off a 7 win season.  Cool logo, however.  One of the best.
