[KC4X]

In case anybody is still on and wants to check it out. Sean Kilpatrick is on the other team (Delaware.) Tu's team up 85 - 73 currently.

And Tu won, right?

[THRILLHOUSE]

Sean Kilpatrick is on the other team

Who?

[XUOHTX]

If there were enough of you guys in Dallas I would say we should get together for a game and cheer on Tu.

[GoMuskies]

I'll be in town January 16th. Let's go see them crush the Santa Cruz Warriors.

If you have the time, check out Tu's highlight videos on the above link from XUKEITH.
Realize it is d-league but he is damn impressive, can't be too long before he is given a 10 day contract I would think.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

Link showed he was 6-17, he is going to have to shoot better than that. Fredette is killing the d-league and he couldn't get off of an NBA bench. The sucky thing is really what players make up this league. You have the demoted young guys from the NBA first round for reps, fringe NBA guys who are hanging on, and a whole lot of crap. When the D-league pays decent money, then some of the better college grads will stick around instead of heading to Europe for better pay.

I don't want to be mr. sour puss but the best thing for Tu is to play as well as he can in the D-league so that he can get a good European contract like Semaj did. That's the best thing for him. Love me some Tu but hes not an NBA player. If he were 4-5 inches taller, he would have been a first round pick, but to be maybe 6 feet, you have to be so transcendly good to stick in the NBA.

His height is definitely a problem but it's more than he has bad quickness for his position and average athleticism as well.

Where does Tu rank on X's all-time scoring list? What a great college player he was.

Tu is 6th on the All Time scoring list with 1,833 points, including 2 on a huge bank shot against my favorite- Notre Dame, and ahead of Anthony Hicks who had 1,805 but behind Lenny Brown who had 1,885.

[smileyy]

There's a *lot* of equally-talenter/gifted players in the category of "not quite good enough to be worth being the 12th man on an NBA roster". Its kind of remarkable how right-sized the NBA is.

[waggy]

including 2 on a huge bank shot against my favorite- Notre a Dame..

Was that like a half spin glider falling out of bounds senior year in NCAA tourney? If so, I agree that was a special play.

Speaking of great x xavier players.....72 points in one game wow ..... http://www.bannersontheparkway.com/2016/1/8/10738656/highlights-of-jordan-crawford-dropping-72-in-china

the best is right after the opponent's post player took about 6 steps in the lane and dunked. J-Craw dribbled the length of the court through the entire team for a little scoop layin. Strange game they play there.

Kudo's to Craw, hell of a performance. How did his side lose??

[XU-PA]

OK, now I see why they lost. All it takes is a certain post player going 4-13 from the field in 26 minutes, friggin bearcats

It was awesome listening to the ESPN brass bitching and moaning about Notre Dame and Syracuse getting called for lane violations that didn't even involve players on the lane. I also sent a text to my sister (a Notre Dame grad) wishing her a happy St. Patrick's Day. She was not happy about that for some reason.

OMG. Maxiell is playing in China?

If he's still on the Legends roster in March/April, I'll probably go to one of their games when they are in Austin playing the Spurs d-league team.

JCRW is awesome but come on dude.

I think the most amazing thing about that play was how perfunctory it felt. Once it got to that score/time situation, I would have been 100 times more surprised if he hadn't scored it than I was when he did. There was sincerely no question in my mind regarding what was going to happen.

[Bearcat_Bounce]

FYI. The head coach of the Texas Legends is Nick Van Exel.
