Gutsy win for Tech, playing without 2 starters (Tobi Lawal and Tyler Johnson) and 7-footer Dorn off the bench. Ugly game at times (holiday/semester break rust???). Was 24-23 at half.

ETA: Gurdak, freshman backup center averaging 12 min/game, played 46 minutes with 17 points and 19 rebounds.

114 rebounds in the game. Both teams also had more turnovers than assists.

This is the shot that eventually changed college sports forever:

It’s Tyus Edney scoring the game-winning basket for UCLA in the last second vs. Missouri in the second round of the 1995 NCAA tournament. UCLA won that game 75-74 and went on to win the NCAA championship that year. That championship win resulted in that 1995 UCLA team being featured in the NCAA Basketball 09 video game. When Ed O’Bannon, star of that 1995 UCLA team, saw his likeness being used in that video game, he sued the NCAA and ultimately became the lead plaintiff in the class action suit O’Bannon v. NCAA. It’s that case that brought NIL to college sports.

Had Edney not hit that shot, UCLA would not have advanced and would not have been featured in that video game. Thus O’Bannon would not have brought he lawsuit or led the class action.

Sure, it’s possible that someone else may have initiated a similar lawsuit, but we don’t know for sure, and even if so, it may have operated on a completely different timeline such that NIL in college sports would not yet be a thing.

Do you think Ed O’Bannon is the only NCAA men’s basketball player over the last 30 years or longer who would have challenged the BS that is the NCAA?

Possibly not. Hence the last paragraph of my post. But he was the first to do it in that fashion.

I don’t get it.

Was the player hurt?

It's known that Williams injured his shoulder during the Maui Invitational in late November.

Before tonight, Wade and State have been saying that it's a fairly minor but nagging injury And then tonight Wade claims that Williams could have easily asked to sit out a few games due to injury but that he cares too much to do so.

The truth? Who knows.

So, BS about BS.

In this era, no team talks about injuries.
