Probably already posted but in case it isn't Alvaro and Louisville vs Kansas on ESPNU
Alvaro
- Thread starter Manfredi
- Start date
I miss big Al
He's really facilitating and playing well for L'ville
early 2nd half. 6 pts on 2-3 from deep, has 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Really doing good job moving the ball.
He is playing like a point forward.
Too bad he got too expensive for hawks.
He has come a long way from those 1st few games last year when he looked a little overwhelmed.
Louisville has the biggest payroll in country so he did well
money and the fact we needed a 5 with size and Al wanted to play more stretch 4. It was best for both parties to part ways unfortunately
Ekezie...wow. 7'2" 240lbs and he can't miss from the arc with 4 made.
That's like Kareem size, living at the arc.

Yes, definitely a reality check as we approach the BB season.
College BB is more talented than ever.
And this is an exhibition...wait until they get some games under them. Both teams look very good.
8 pts on 3-4 FG's 2-3 3pts
5 rebounds
4 assists (for a good stretch the offense ran thru Al, good ball mover and finding the open man)
1 steal (but several other deflections leading to others getting steals)
Kansas leading scorers,council and white,20points each, are playing their 5th or 6th? season of college ball with a friendly local court injunction.
NCAA is fighting it in court.

All of which I thought the Big 12 made a conference rule about. Guessing they don't have the stones to tell Kansas to get in line line the SEC to LSU.
Don't know about basketball with all the court cases, but the Big 12 did have the stones to stand up to Texas Tech on Football and Sorsby.
If I recall, Al was getting approximately $1.3M and he wanted more. The numbers didn't work if we wanted McKeever. We will miiss his outside game vs.Manyawu at the 4 but we should be stronger rebounding. I'm also looking for big things from Thompson and Harris also.

Not necessarily "wanted" more... but his value on the open market was prohibitive of us filling the needed gaps in the roster.
So him leaving was sort of win/win.
We were able to land the post size needed and a guard in portal, while stashing some cash for the Cayden Daughtry sweepstakes
Alvaro was able to goto program where he won't be needed to play the 5, and he got bags of cash.
Guy hit the biggest shot in over 25 years for Iowa. For him I’ll make an exception and actually wish him well after transferring, he took a big weight off of every Iowa fans shoulders.
AF from last season.

Not bad, coming in off the bench.
