Dior Johnson pled guilty to two misdemeanor counts of assault and strangulation stemming from an incident where he “held a woman against her will at an apartment, slapping and punching her and pushing her face into a bed, making it difficult for her to breathe”
Dior Johnson absolutely DOMINATED at the JUCO level this season:
29.7 PPG (most in the country by 3.2)
5.4 RPG
5.9 APG
52.1% FG
41.7% 3-PT
2.2 SPG
What Division 1 program should pick up the former 5🌟?
I’ve been to 25 college basketball games this year
None of them have been louder than Duke/Baylor tonight at MSG
Duke by 7 after McCain’s triple, Baylor timeout. 3:55 to play. 21 points for the freshman.

*player I like* is way too low!! He’s way better than *other elite player that I like less, and is clearly on the same tier as the player I like*
You know nothing about football. I’m unfollowing you!
Dan Hurley on Alex Karaban: "He’ll never get the credit because he’s not a bozo on social media and doing all the shit that all these people now do in sports. He’s just a problem solver, he’s an everyday guy, he’s becoming a better leader. He’s maybe the smartest player in the
Oneil Cruz is getting a ton of love right now, and rightfully so, but there’s a player in that infield that, while not quite as athletically impressive, is a star in his own right.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again.
They play every night on national TV in front of packed arenas, not gyms.
If that’s not High-Major basketball, I don’t know what is

If it felt like UConn had a lot of halftime buzzer beaters this year, it’s because they did. Here’s a thread of all of them, starting with Alex Karaban against UNC Wilmington
Not saying this isn't happening, but claiming to be 67/74 when you've missed more than double that, and many of the predictions you've made are football... is awfully misleading and extremely disingenuous (thread)
🚨PREDICTION🚨
2024’ 5🌟 6’7 SF Liam McNeely to UConn‼️
One of the best pure shooters I’ve seen in the 24’ class! Didn’t lose a game going 30-0 on a stacked Monteverde team on the Way to a National Championship🏆
Top recruit in The 2x defending champions class
67/74🔮🔒
It is theoretically still possible for the Big 12 to end in a 14 way tie at 9-9.
These are the results that it would require, and this is what the standings would look like.
Amazing
The Red Sox season is a success no matter what happens over the next two nights between them and the Astros. A projected ≈.500 ballclub won 92 games and made the ALCS, knocking out their biggest rivals in the process. But Red Sox Nation wants to

I asked Bashir Mason about the impact that Corey Washington has made in the Saint Peter’s program
Bash said that Corey flew up from Arkansas on his own dime to try out for the team with no scholarship offers after his senior year
Now, he’s 1st team All-MAAC and a MAAC Champion.

I’ll bring up this tweet… suggesting that Dior Johnson should get another shot at a D1 program without mentioning why he’s not at one in the first place is active participation of image rehabilitation for somebody who *see above*
Old Dominion basketball announces that leading scorer Vasean Allette has been dismissed from the team for “conduct unbecoming of a Monarch.” Allette was suspended for last nights game with Georgia Southern and came off the bench Wednesday for the first time this season.
@WTKR3
Nobody ever denied that Dior Johnson was really really good at basketball. Lets use our brains for once man. It’s not like there wasn’t due process here. He was investigated and he pled guilty.
That’s it. He shouldn’t be playing college basketball at any level.
Jesus Christ tells me that Notre Dame, Holy Cross, Liberty, Georgetown, and Boston College have reached out.
He also told me that Arkansas contacted him.

There are 4 4-0 teams in college basketball.
Only 2 of them have played 4 Division I schools
Only 1 of those 2 has played a road game
That one team is Quinnipiac
The media room TV is playing Kansas/Chaminade, and Dan Hurley has had his eyes LOCKED on it while his players answer questions ever since he noticed it.
Let's start off the semester with some good news....
I’m extremely honored and proud to announce that I have accepted a broadcast internship and signed a contract with the Amsterdam Mohawks this coming summer!
I'll also be covering the team in written form.
I'm very excited to
The home run record is 73
Whether or not you think it’s legitimate is your own opinion, but a human being hit 73 home runs in one season, more than any other human being, therefore it’s the record.
I’m very excited to announce that starting next season, I will be writing for

with a focus on MAAC, A-10, and other Local Mid-Majors.
Would like to thank everybody for following me throughout the year. Can’t wait for next year.
Meanwhile, 25-8 High Point and 24-9 Quinnipiac have to play in the CBI... Late surging teams like Belmont and Hofstra don't even get ANY postseason, but you're happy with 13-19 Cal who lost to Pacific and lost 4 in a row by double digits to end the season... yea right.
@elitetakes_
My favorite team will not draw the Bills in the Wild Card so I will be making fun of the fact that the "Super Bowl or Bust" Bills have the same record as the Broncos and Steelers
I’ve done a lot of sicko stuff.
Spending New Year’s Eve alone in Philly in anticipation of Hampton/Drexel at noon on New Year’s Day might take the cake.

This league means everything to me, and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to cover it so closely.
Thank you to coaches, players, administrators, fellow media members, and everybody else for making this week special.
