February 13, 201313 yr This isn't the career ending injury that I think will one day cause a serious challenge to the one and done, but it's injuries like this one that are why I dislike the rule, even if it is beneficial to Kentucky. Nerlens would and should be getting paid to play right now. Maybe he would have dropped a little in the draft but he would still be making bank. I know they say this wouldn't affect his stock - hopefully that's true, because it would be a shame for him to lose money for no good reason.

You have to wonder if something like this though will entice more guys to play professionally in a league not called the NBA.
February 13, 201313 yr http://bluegrasspreps.com/college-basketball/update-nerlens-noels-250204.html#post4596685 I created a thread for Noel's injury specifically if people want to discuss it there and maybe keep this for just the game.

Has anyone ever pointedly asked Stern why he feels it's okay that young men and women are going overseas to die for our country at 18, but he won't allow them to be a part of his company? I can only imagine the amount of squirming he'd be doing.
February 13, 201313 yr Author I actually said that your posts about UK are so predictable that I find it amusing. Sure, you are going to be close sometimes, congrats? You definitely couldn't wait to rush in here and tell everyone :lol: Not as quick as somebody is to rush to complain about me picking against the Cats.
February 13, 201313 yr Author I guessed 16 point win? Do I win a prize? Only if people complained about or ridiculed your prediction.
February 13, 201313 yr One thing I thought the FLA did well was drive at Noel and then dish when he came to block the shot. Horrible weak side rotation on defense when Noel went to block the guards driving. Did anyone else catch the halftime talk? Not sure who the commentator was but he said........Harrow and Polson do not even belong on the floor against the press...........They just hand the ball away.

Polson backed up against the press all night. A definite no no.
February 13, 201313 yr This team has no shot at winning a national title or probably making it to even the Elite 8 with or without Noel.. I just hope for his sake he is ok..
February 13, 201313 yr Polson backed up against the press all night. A definite no no. He looked terrified.
February 13, 201313 yr I will throw the question out there, how much different would this team be with Mark Lyons? He's averageing 15.4 ppg 3 apg and shoots 85% from the free throw line. Lastly, too my knowledge, hasn't caused any trouble for Arizona. Let's face it, because of Adidas UK had no shot at Shabazz, so I throw this question out there. That is a great question. He would be a much needed addition on the perimeter. The back court is Harrow (we know what he is, or isn't), Polson (I hate criticizing him because he is doing all he can do since he really just a walk-on), and Mays (a mid-major player). I have no idea where to put Goodwin in this discussion.
February 13, 201313 yr Horrible analogy. If I were Stern and someone was dumb enough to ask that question I wouldn't even answer it. No, it's a perfect analogy. Why does he feel people that are old enough to serve in the military aren't able to participate in his company? Once you've hit the age of 18, you're legally considered an adult and should be able to be employed in whatever field you chose if their is a market for you.
