Nice play in an otherwise assist-free game.

Never mind the incongruity of a Lutheran school embracing the Crusades centuries before the Reformation, but it's another example of a word that has fallen out of social approbation. A crusader is literally someone "fighting for the Cross" and that's not a popular selling point among the youth segment these days. And, let's not forget it's an opportunity to sell new merchandise for Valpo, who should really rebrand as "Valparaiso" and not something that rhymes with a popular brand of dog food. Sadly, it's an example of college administrators that lack the good sense to look to the crowd and say, "No." Valpo has bigger problems than a nickname; enrollment, for one thing, is down and it's been tapping into its endowment to pay bills, according to reports. Calling yourself the Beacons out of a sense of self-importance isn't getting an extra paying customer in the door. Changing team names is a secular crusade all its own, with much the same outcomes as those battles a millenium ago: in the end, not much was gained. As for Holy Cross, they are keeping the name but retiring the knight-on-a-horse character. For now, no one wants to rename the school "Fenwick College" or somesuch title. Valparaiso is an odd duck. It holds itself out as sort of "pan-Lutheran" and extolls is positive relationships with all of the LCMS, ELCA, and WELS, but that's a tough position, since LCMS, ELCA and WELS want nothing to do with each other.

Anyone know what happened to Blair? Heard he was on the Bucks but not seeing him on the bench or listed on the roster in their game Vs the Clippers right now. Is he hurt... went to a different team... signed an overseas contract? They just traded for Mike Kzyewski's son, Grayson Allen the other day. So along with Divecenso they probably no longer need 3pt shooting from the shooting guard position. Blair's also not on the roster for the Bucks: www.nba.com/bucks/news/milwaukee-bucks-announce-roster-mgm-resorts-nba-summer-league-2021Don't remind me. I had a whole 2 weeks to be happy about the Bucks' winning the NBA Championship, then they go and trade for Trippin' Ted Cruz Jr.

That's odd. As a resident of socialist Los Angeles (and if we are socialists here, what about the bay area?), I have never heard of this, and let me point out that I am on the road fairly regularly. More complete BS emanating from someone in the "real" America. Driver’s license One tweet in response pointed out how incredibly nefarious this is - in some cases, the government uses the data to harvest your organs!

Haven't seen anything about it here at all, so here's a big "WHO HOO!" for the few Wisconsinites on this board. Bucks don't always play very pretty, but that was fun.

All publicity is good publicity, right? My computer here blocks Twitter, so apologies if I'm responding to the wrong message. Don't think it's otherwise been mentioned, but S. Epatha Merkerson is descended from the 272 and was featured on an episode if "Finding Your Roots with Hendy Louis Gates" on PBS that re-ran just last night. The episode noted, but didn't really delve into the Province vs. University distinction, but it did note that the sale was sanctioned by Rome.

As an aside, @gamechanger_USA is a tremendous example of a GU alum "walking the walk" and really working to make a difference. Hat's off to @gamechangersean.

I guess when you recruit 25 year old international players to complete against teenagers, it’s a viable strategy, especially in an international sport. What have the Marshall players really achieved? My guess is that others will mimic this model. Common in rowing too. Tough to be a coxswain at some of the powerhouses when you need to speak 5 languages just to communicate with everyone in an 8+.

looks like the rumors that Patrick Sr. was on shaky grounds in Milwaukee were probably true. AD and president probably hinted that his son committing to school would get a one year extension. You can't fault the young man for looking out for his dad. Good luck to him. Hope they have a great year and meet the Hoyas in the NCAAs Where they get CRUSHED by Patrick Ewing's high flying Georgetown Hoyas!
UW-M doesn't sniff the NCAAs, Baldwin or no.

Best term I've heard for it - "Electoral welfare."

I wonder why he hasn't heard from Georgetown or Rutgers? ? Because he wants to go to a school that normally makes the NCAA Tournament? Ducks and covers... There seems to be a disconnect there. Teams that are likely to go to the Tourney are too good to have him be the sort of star he seems to need to be.

Patrick is down to 10 schools...we should temper our expectations. ...and that's just for his freshman year!

Hopefully the mighty Orange will build on this ACC record and make it 0-3. Let's go, SDSU. You must be a tournament whisperer because I just realized they are already 0-3 since Georgia Tech lost too. Now 0-4 sounds even better. Let’s go SDSU! They’re going to have to figure out the 2-3. Right now they look as bad against it as we did on our worst day.

Purdue is about to be out of here also. They look terrible. Williams isn’t gonna let that happen. Um, never mind.

Some early lobbying for Baldwin, likely because of his kid.
