European competition, like UEFA Champions League, EPL, and International competition are tits. US Men's soccer is excellent.

Tennis is good when its good, Aussie and Roland Garros are my faves. Always liked clay court tennis as well grass. Always felt more comfortable on clay than on asphalt or concrete. Loved grass few times I ever got to play on it, at Royal Plantation HHI.

Baseball, well, its baseball. College and Playoff ball, when Im into it. Is really really good.

Yeah I've enjoyed all three sports before

I would maybe put world cup soccer above tennis, but my dad is a huge tennis fan so I was forced to appreciate it and man...it can have some epic matches. So many great battles between individuals. Gets intense!

For sure, but we should have had JJJ in the corner where Santi was, Santi where JJJ was, and let JJJ cut to the basket when ZZ drove into the lane. All the defenders under the basket pulled out to guard ZZ. He could have hit JJJ on the cut to the basket and got an easy 2 or at the least a foul with 2 FTs to either tie or win it.

Guys, I have coached a little basketball and sometimes you can draw it up and all heck still turns loose in those situation.

why are we discussing the last 6.32 seconds as if that decided the outcome? How about the other two halves of crappy offensive outcome? The foul at end of 1st half. Missing FT's. Nearly 7 minutes without a point to start second half.

Also recruiting misses into 2021 and 22. Not have a solid post player, thinking he can develop every player is dumb.

Not only on that. I do like women's tennis for the reason you give. We have some good players. Men's, we are below meh.

We have so many other sports that are pulling elite talents. Unsure why Tennis just doesnt have that elitw guy. Sampras, Agassi, and Courier were really last of a breed.

The play on the last shot was drawn up well. ZZ got to where he was supposed and delivered a clean ball to JJJ. It was a great look. There was no way he was going to get inside. Everyone was converging. Maybe JJJ should have passed to Santi, but it was a wide open look. You can't ask for much more than that.

It's because it was at the end. Overall, I am glad we are doing what we have done under Barnes compared to where we have been in the past. It was the most crappy game up to that point but they did a great job taking our best scorer away. I am beginning to understand one and done regardless of the talent is not how to build a team. Love the talent but one freshman year unless the guy is already NBA ready is not worth it and even Chandler is no where close to being ready. If we had him a second year watch out but that is not going to happen. The last shot did not lose the game but it still could've won it. The FT shooting actually makes me sick. Get in the dang gym.

Just a friendly reminder Josh Allen wasn’t recruited anywhere outta HS had to go JUCO and was very lowly rated and didn’t receive any P5 interest. Justin Herbert was a lowly rated 3* with no real interest outside of Oregon, both went top 10 in the draft and two of the best QB’s in the NFL already. Stop only paying attention to recruiting systems that are built around profiting money

As far as the basketball game, look no further than 8 of 16 on free throws.
Mind blowing to me that so many college players can't hit at least 70% FT's. Refs are always going to make calls you don't agree with but hit 10 of 16 FT's and we aren't having this conversation..

8 of 16 on ft's is bad enough. Then throw in how many of those misses were front ends of 1 & 1's and you are easily talking 8-10 added points if you are shooting 70% or better like championship caliber teams do.

Go up to Uros today and ask to his face why he missed those free throws
