OT: 2020-2021 Boog Hoops

Seems we can’t have nice things. Maybe it’s not as bad as it feels.
 
If I’m Omar, I’m filing a discrimination suit against the NCAA and keeping those fvckers tied up in litigation for years.

Hooks says the Coopers have lawyered up and are fighting the NCAA. If they're lawyering up, I don't expect Cooper to go overseas. Why lawyer up and fight if you could just make the jump to Europe, play for a season, and then jump to the draft?

Good. Go to ESPN. Claim the only reason Cooper isn’t eligible is the color of his skin and let’s see how this plays out. Fvck the NCAA.
This is about more than just his eligibility, it’s his dads career.

Good for them. Unless there is something going on we are not privy to, this whole Coop stuff is bull shit.
 
Someone posted on the bunker that people connected with Nike are fueling this NCAA investigation. That makes some sense, especially if Omar used his AAU team to get some money from Nike with an insinuation or under the table agreement that Sharife would go to a Nike school.

Under Armor sucks.
 
If the final result is

- Let Sharife play.
- Keep the ban at one one year and don't say that taking a postseason ban in a Covid year isn't enough by adding a year to it.
- Take one scholly away per year for 2 or 3 years.

that wouldn't be the worst result in the world.

But gonna be uneasy until the NCAA finalizes this because who knows what they'll do
 
"exploring potential options overseas" that sounds guilty as hell. seriously, how fuggn hard is it to bang a buncha coeds, play a few games and raise your nba stock and then just fuggn leave? I have no reason to think there is anything wrong with this situation , but saying you're gonna head over seas while this sh!t gets figured out looks bad.

I think he has to keep options open on the chance that the NCAA door is completely closed. There's no guarantee he will get his eligibility. By all accounts, he wants to play and Auburn, and it seems the family is willing to fight the NCAA legally to make that happen.
 
We're gonna launch so many 3s. Think Powell is gonna be in the top 3 in minutes too. He'll spell turbo and Flanny and probably d cam too

I’m hoping and praying Powell can play significant minutes and score 10 a game. I don’t think Turbo can. Hope I’m wrong.

ESPN BPI projects Auburn's 2020-21 schedule
By NATHAN KING
Auburn basketball won’t be playing any postseason games at the end of its 2020-21 season after self-imposing a ban Sunday. But the regular season, at least, is finally here.

Bruce Pearl’s youngest Tigers team yet opens on Thanksgiving day against Saint Joseph’s as part of a multi-team event in Fort Myers, Florida. Auburn will play Gonzaga, the No. 1 team in college basketball, the following day, and will hang around in the Sunshine State for a matchup with UCF on Monday before returning to the Plains for its home opener against South Alabama on Dec. 4.

Indefinitely, Auburn will be without highly anticipated freshman point guard Sharife Cooper, as the program works to “resolve” an undisclosed NCAA eligibility issue for the former five-star prospect. He didn’t travel to Fort Myers.

“I don’t think Auburn has had a team that’s lost its entire starting five since 1950 — that just tells you how sort of unprecedented this is,” Pearl said this week. “This is really, truly going to be a new experience.

“If you look back at my press conferences leading up to the seasons, and you would ask me the questions, ‘What do you want to learn?’ And bottom line is I want to get exposed and see what we have and see what our strengths are, see what our weaknesses are, evaluate them, make the adjustments that are necessary to improve, and go from there.”

The Tigers’ nonconference slate isn’t completely filled out after most college basketball programs had to rework their schedules as a result of the coronavirus pandemic’s effect on the sport. It’s unclear whether Auburn will add more games or will roll with what it’s got before the season tips off tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. CST.

We do, however, know 26 of Auburn’s games for this season. And just in the nick of time late Tuesday night, ESPN finally updated its Basketball Power Index rankings and projections for 2020-21.

According to ESPN’s definition, “Basketball Power Index measures a team's true strength going forward; expected point margin per 70 possessions vs an average opponent on a neutral court.” Teams can have negative BPI scores, so they’re measured how far above or below average a team is expected to be against a standard opponent.

Let’s take a look at what the BPI thinks about Auburn, and how it sees each game on the Tigers’ schedule playing out.

  • Overall BPI score projection: 1.4 (134th in the country)
  • Offensive score projection: 0.4 (153rd)
  • Defensive score projection: 1.0 (134th in the country)

Not to go all huthut, but this squad was on probation for two years with no post season & nary a appearance on TV. Went Us against the World & went 11-0000000. Entirely different scenario or is it?
AttitUde!!
 
Al Flanigan as a 1st rounder on a mock draft posted to the internet:
