Irish start off Exhibition play next Monday. Got my season tickets...finally an Irish arena with a jumbotron as well. Couldn't be more excited!

Oh, and Luke Haranchodey is finally gone. Thank god.

So which white guy is shooting threes this year?

[Pitty]

Nas Robinson out 4-6 weeks, looks like the reign of Talib Zanna begins.

[Hasselbeck]

Can't wait for Alford-Mania 2011.

Judging from yesterday's exhibition, this looks to be Pitt's most offensively capable team, even more-so than Young-Blair-Fields.

On Friday I'm going to the UNC exhibition game against Barton College. The reason is because I know 2 players who play for Barton, but I also want to see Harrison Barnes and Kendall Marshall. I can't wait.

Sloppy first half in the RMU/McGill game, but the Colonials came up on top by 20+.

I was impressed with Russell Johnson, he was probably the leading scorer. Hit from both inside and outside, played some pretty good defense and pulled down a bunch of rebounds.

And get ready for me to hype up another RMU freshman. Yann Charles, the Canadian forward who picked the Colonials over Notre Dame, was in foul trouble a good portion of the night, but when in he could do no wrong. Very impressed with his moves in the post and his shot from the outside. He's going to be a stud.

Everyone's favorite player Karon Abraham didn't play much, but hit two three-pointers. Overall, I think we went 11 deep, but I think we'll have a 9-man rotation once the season kicks off.

4 days until Pitt kicks off the CBB season against Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations University.

Kentucky's Enes Kanter and Kansas' Josh Selby are still awaiting word from the NCAA on their eligibility. Both guys figure to be big parts of their respective team's gameplans if they are cleared to play.

Enes Kanter pronounces his name like N S not Enis rhyming with Penis.


Louisville's big man Georgui Dieng was recently cleared to play. There were issues about his academic eligibility but they were overturned and now he's eligible. He pronounces his name like Gorky Jang, have fun with that one.

Enes is a joke, so is T.Jones....The tournament should be real interesting

jealous much? If Tony Wroten doesnt go to UW id love to see the fanbase then.

Yeah those two lottery picks next year are pretty big jokes.
