Obviously this is all pending whether or not he's found guilty, but it's amazing how some people can basically throw their lives away.

 

It is incredible, and obviously hopefully he wasn't involved. If he is does Tubby get rid of him? Two thefts in only a few months on campus after getting kicked out of a High School before he got to Minny it isn't exactly a great track record.

I can't say I'd be surprised if that happened. I seem to remember an article before White came here about how Tubby had sat him down to make sure there wouldn't be any problems when he got here. Obviously, that hasn't stuck at all if this latest allegation is true.

 

White has had a s*** eating look on his face after both of the two exhibition games this year too. After each game the players walk by the student section giving high fives and such, and after both games White basically looked like he was soaking it all in as the prodigal son of Minnesota. He really needs to learn that he needs to be accountable for his actions and no matter how good you are at basketball, it doesn't matter if you keep f***ing things up.

 

This is true regardless of whether this latest thing is true or not. From the sound of that article, White was just in the dorm at the same time of the crime, so there isn't anything too obvious linking him to it. It sounds like he's just being considered a suspect (like everyone else that was in the dorm at the time), and there haven't been any other claims yet. Hopefully it stays that way and nothing comes from it.

Well, NU's tournament chances just took a big hit. Kevin Coble injured his foot. No diagnosis yet, but early reports range from several weeks to the whole season if he needs surgery. <_>

That blows. I like Coble a lot. I've got a thing for goofy lookin' white dudes that can ball their ass off.

Ho-hum, 24 and 17 for Mr Turner.

Season opener is tonight for the Gophers! Both our exhibition games were complete blowouts and I'm expecting more of the same tonight against Tennessee Tech, but I'm pumped that regular season college basketball is back. This is the second best time of year behind only baseball season

Good god, when does Minny play a real team?

We play Butler on November 26 as part of the 76 Classic. The field is pretty good, with Butler, Clemson, UCLA, Texas A&M and West Virginia all taking part.

 

I'm not really sure what you expected if you're surprised by the fact that we played two easy teams for exhibitions and then started the season with some pushovers. Most/all teams do this

When does any team play anyone good in the first week or two? I think Seth Davis of SI had this same complaint, why isn't there a huge blockbuster set of games to open the season? You have a "preseason" just like in baseball, why do you need 4-5 games of Div II or really awful Div I games before those tournaments start (which less face it, at best there's 2-3 of those that have games with good teams going head to head - coaches v cancer, maui [clearly the best] and one more I can't remember the name of).

 

I dunno, a minor complaint since college BB is the best sport of them all.

Since I know everyone cares so much, the first game of the MVC-MWC challenge is tonight with Bradley going to BYU. I expect the mormons to roll but I'm hoping the Valley can start this thing off with a win.

76 Classic!

San Juan Shootout with a solid field this year with Villanova, Dayton, Ga Tech, Kansas St, Ole Miss.

Hoosiers open against Howard tonight.

Time for ISU to put the beat down on Idaho State.

Brandon Paul breaks an illini record by scoring 22 points his first game, previous high by a freshmen's debut was 21 points. Both Paul and Richardson looked good out there, for the short time i saw him cant say the same for Griffey.

I noticed Legion was playing in garbage time. Not sure if that is a good sign that Paul will be starting, if he didn't tonight.

 

It's odd seeing Paul wear #3 in blue and orange after watching him wear #23 for the last 3 years in the blue and gold. Great start for him.

Paul is starting, he and Richardson are awesome. Legion is going to just be a scorer off the bench. He will have some huge games and be a completely non factor in games as well.

Rumor Royce White has been expelled from Minnesota. That sucks. http://twitter.com/Fox9Sports

ISU throttles Idaho State, 88-68 in a game that was again not that close. I'll take 17 and 6 form LaRon Dendy in just 15 minutes as well. ISU's front three will be formidable.

Do you ISU fans like coach Jank? He's excellent.

Gophers took care of Tennessee Tech 87-50 last night despite struggling with their shot for much of the first half. We didn't play great, but that's what these games are for. Lawrence Westbrook really went on a tear in the second, ending up with a team high 22 points on 9/13 shooting. As per the norm, Damian Johnson did a little bit of everything. He's by far my favorite player to watch.

We'll see if this is true. If so, I can't really blame the school for doing it, but I'd hope that they would have substantial evidence linking him to the laptop theft. I don't really blame them for doing this though. One of the stipulations of him coming here was shaping up his act, and it doesn't look like he's done that. It's a shame to say goodbye to his type of talent, but that's just how it goes.

Beat writer for the Star Tribune claims that Royce's status is "unchanged"

That's a pretty good sign, I think. I sent a text message to a buddy of mine that works for the team, but he hasn't replied yet (and I doubt he will, leaking these types of things would probably be frowned upon ). Hopefully this is just a baseless rumor and Royce ends up contributing for the Gophers at some point this season.

Edited November 14, 200916 yr by Felix

Hope your were able to see highlights of Xavier Henry, 27 points in debut. May be the best recruit to ever play at Kansas in last 20 years.

Uconn's men debut against William & Mary was a pretty entertaining game to be at.W & M kept it pretty close. They have some great 3 point shooting on that team.

Sounds like Royce White isn't expelled (yet). Joel Maturi said he wasn't, and given the fact that he's the AD, I'll take his word for it.
