How is Taj Gibson (overrated himself) going to deal with the bigs Memphis can throw out there? He has no help
he can score on them, but as far as the defensive end he is screwed in my eyes

Kentucky freshman guard Legion to transfer

Kentucky freshman guard Alex Legion wants to transfer and informed coach Billy Gillispie of his decision on Monday night.

"It's unfortunate and not what I wanted to hear, but I understand," Gillispie said, according a statement released by the school.

"We met with Alex and his mother Friday, and she informed us of her desire to seek a release for her son. Shortly after that meeting, Alex told me that he still wanted to be a part of our program. He played in the game against North Carolina Saturday and seemed happy when I spoke with him Sunday."

On the way back from the funeral services for former Wildcats greats Ralph Beard and Tommy Kron, Gillispie learned that Legion had not attended Monday afternoon's practice. Legion told him of his decision later that evening.

"You always hate to lose a valued member of your program, and Alex was definitely that. He has tremendous potential as a player and a student, but most importantly, he is a wonderful young man. We hate to see him leave, but if he can be happier elsewhere then all you can do is wish him the best."

Legion has played in all six games this season, starting twice. He averaged 6.7 points per game.

Legion, a native of Inkster, Mich., originally signed with Michigan but was released from his national letter of intent when Tommy Amaker was fired by the school.

St. Louis recently lost to Kent State by 41.
That game was one of the biggest surprises for me

A Majerus coached team with near equal talent losing like that

 

[seymore cake]

what time is the USC Memphis game tonight and what channel?

I don't see them fairing well in this game unless Mayo shows out, Hackett is nowhere near strong enough to guard Pooh, so more than likely he'll besacrificed to CDR he's in for a tough night either way it goes

I'm hoping for a Memphis blowout...I can't stand USC

I'm hoping you get thrown under a bus. I can't stand HATERS.

NEW YORK, NY -- The No. 24 USC men's basketball team (6-2) will face No. 2 Memphis (6-0) at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY at 9 p.m. on Dec. 4. USC had a six-game winning streak snapped on Saturday with a loss to Kansas. For the second consecutive season, the Trojans have begun with a 6-2 record. The last time USC had a better start was in 2000-01 when it began the season 8-0.


GO S-C!!! GO S-C!!!

FIGHT ON

 

[allen3xis]

I can't stand HATERS.
What's funny is there really is nothing to hate. Your program has done what....

*Kat* "Don't worry I'll wait" *Kat *

 

[mjshoefanatic]

When's the last time G'Town won it all? '84?

You guys doing big things.

 

[allen3xis]

Comparing Georgetowns basketball on the court and the way they carry themselves off it (coaching staff) compared to USC isn't worth the discussion

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Just don't act like your program has been all that for decades upon decades.

Even worse... Gtown is one of the reasons college basketball is where it's at today... they're an originator of the way the game is looked attoday..

 

[seymore cake]

Much respect to the G'Town program but all this random hate for SC is ridiculous IMHO.

 

[i wear sneakers]

The games don't start until 7 Haiti.
(If you meant your stuck in the office until 6 like you were gonna miss something)

I believe this to be true as well, but that all depends on who comes out... But He Is Damn Gifted

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

The boy jumps out of the gym....(CDR)

Like, a better version of Rodney Carney

 

[bballah3]

Today is gonna be a good day of ball


Rose Vs. OJ @ the Garden.....Lets see if OJ can shoot 6-22 today

. You know he isgonna be GUNNIN with the pro scouts in attendance just like the Kansas game (There are going to be 42 pro and international scouts there at the Garden tonight,every NBA team will be represented).


And how they gonna match up Beasley against ND.....I just have a feeling he is gonna put some crazy numbers up (40 is not out of the question)...After the gameagainst Oregon I don't see him passing the ball ever again

...and rightfully so,his team is terrible.




And how is Legion gonna transfer?

Its six games in.....

 

[haiti5]

Cause USC homers came out the woodworks after getting to the Sweet 16 and OJ signing with them as if they were relevant on the college basketballmap......

When's the last time G'Town won it all? '84?
Such an idiotic comment.

USC doesn't really have a chance. This is more like a tryout for the NBA with Taj, Hackett, Jefferson, OJ, Rose, CDR, Dorsey, and Dozier allbeing pro prospects.

Like, a better version of Rodney Carney
At first I was like, they don't even play like one another, but upon second thought they honestly have the same qualities in their game. Amazing athletic ability, bunnies like

, great slashing ability, thetendency to shoot jump shots when they should be taking advantage of their slashing abilities, and they both high yellow.

Pretty much, I mean I didn't like yall when you had Sam Clancy and Jeff Trapiegner either, so I just don't like them

Now if you want to call me a hater with programs like Duke and Syracuse, be my guest...USC

Harangody

...get those stats in now you big dufous
