He still killed someone. Accident or not. 

posted by Heretic

Uh, the concept that, accident or not, if you're doing something that winds up with someone else dead, it might weigh on you a bit emotionally. From what I read, the other guy had wrecked and he and his family were walking along the road. Boeheim tried to avoid hitting their car and wound up killing the dude. I'd guess he'll have a lot of "what if I did this instead?" thoughts in the near future.

Accdently hitting someone while you are driving...that’s gonna mess with you mentally and emotionally. I mean he likely got a glimpse of it and the sound made as it happened. I mean it doesn’t get much worse for an accident.

 

Understood.  I read it as "Not good for Boeheim" from a legal perspective.  You're correct.  Will mess with him for the rest of his life.

I hate that Roy has so much trouble with vertigo. It is no joke.

That one was super scary. He looked really bad walking off the floor. I’m glad he didn’t come back out. 

Kansas’ streak comes to an end. 14 straight big 12 titles, won’t be a 15th. 

Carolina has finished the ACC road slate undefeated, 9-0. They’ve won 13 of 14, with Duke coming to Chapel Hill on Saturday. My assumption is the winner will lock up a 1 seed. The loser would likely have to make the ACC Final to have a chance. It’s going to be an epic finale. 

Sad day in college basketball. Mike Daum eliminated from NCAA Tournament after top seeded S. Dakota St. falls in the Summit league to the 8 seeded Western-Illinois, was was 7-20 versus D1 opponents this year. 

None of the Duke players that were in the court last night should entertain turning pro after this year.  These guys arent ready yet.

Because they lost a regular season rivalry road game, reddish and Barrett should come back to college for another year instead of being two of the top 3 picks and forego $15-20M+? 

Maybe when you have some down time at the elementary school you coach gym at, you could sneak into a classroom and get an education for yourself. Because clearly you failed the first time around.

Cam Reddish is a top 3 pick at worst. RJ Barrett is a top 6 pick. Zion, who didn’t play(but I bet you didn’t know that), will be the 1st or 2nd pick. 

But yes, please stay in school and risk MILLIONS.

They played without their most explosive player, they lost another guy due to injury and still led UNC for over a half ON THE ROAD before crumbling and still nearly came back before UNC was able to pull away at the very end. So, CC says "These guys sukk; stay in skool!!!!"

Takes a lot to make Stephen A. Smith look like an intelligent, reasoned take-master, but CC finds a way time and time again!

I know if I wasn’t ready for the NBA I’d want to stay in college, have an offense that’s extremely rigid to whoever was coaching and have limited hours to actually improve.

That sounds much better than better coaching, more hours and no responsibilities outside of basketball.

And get paid a small fortune.

I think you have Reddish and Barrett flipped; Reddish is anywhere from 3-6 in the 5 mock drafts i just looked at, and Barrett is top 3 in all of them.

But yes, your point still remains lol

You should sue the college you graduated from for malpractice.

That's a bubble-shrinking win.

Zion...the anti Harden

Goes 29/14/5....13/13 from the field, 2/9 from the line

Also, someone tried to trip him and he didn't even notice. Harden would have flailed to halfcourt then collapsed like a gunshot victim.

I think he should go back to school if he loses another game.

Stfu.....these Duke superstars are going to lose to UnC again.  They might be good for freshman but a good team of upper classmen will be them more often then not.

Jesus, what a terrible charge call on coby whites drive just now. The defender was moving, it was so obvious too. 

I hate duke, coach k, and the calls they receive from refs. 

Charbage is ruining college basketball games. Officiated incorrectly 90% of the time. Just eliminate off ball charges. Make them illegal and clean up the sport.
