Golden Eagles Alumni TBT 2020

[Billy Hoyle]

Joe Johnson is still an absolute killer from the mid range and wings. He's gonna be a problem even at his age. Jordan Crawford is 2 seasons removed from being a double digit scorer in the NBA and is a digit guy in the BBL. Big additions

They lost DJ Kennedy, the "LeBron of the TBT" due to COVID concerns. Big loss.

Overseas Elite still the best team.

Dauminator is awesome though.

Elam Ending has always been terrible and that's been exacerbated by the fact that all off ball fouls are one free throw and the ball back.

The off the ball fouls are only free throws, if the fouling team is in the bonus.

I have been taping all the games and fast forwarding to the 6 minute mark in the fourth quarter.
I did watch almost all of the Carmen Crew loss today, because I wanted them to lose. Most of the other games I do not care who wins, so watching the last 6 minutes works out well for me.

Is Brandon Paul on that team? He went to my high school and was in my brother's class.  I've always thought his career paralleled Vander's, both in college and in the G-League.

Brandon Paul had a real nice season with the Spurs not too long ago.

Those Warren teams with Brandon and Darius Paul were loaded.

I think the House of 'Paign only has 3-4 guys that ended up playing with the Illini.  Billy Garrett from DePaul.  The PG is from Cent. Connecticut.  A big is from Grand Canyon.  Dahm from South Dakota State is the primary player.

Finke started at U of I and had a brother that played there for all four years.

He played on a Team Hines. I found it interesting that a U of I alumni team was missing one of the most electric scorers from the last 7-8 years.

The difference between him and Vander is he went to a Europe and made presumably a bunch of money playing for top level teams in Spain, Turkey, Greece, and Russia.  He played his career right. I love Vander, but he really didn't.

Be careful. That is getting dangerously close to infringing on UW-Madison's exclusive patent that they are the only ones who can jump to that song at a sporting event.

[Johnny B]

So Jamal Crawford is done now ?

Tbt seems more balanced then ever thus year

Probably.  With the smaller field, the organizers chose teams they were familiar with mostly.  They have a good idea of who the good ones are.  The newer teams have been a mixed bag.  House of Paign has been good.  The Tampa team that picked up a bunch of Auburn players late lost their first game, as did the team coached by Homer Drew.  Of the final eight, four of them were there last year, another had to forfeit, and two more had a good run last year.  The Dayton team lost a close game to the eventual champs in Columbus.  Sideline Cancer lost to the Golden Eagles in the regional final, so the two of them both missed the final eight by one game and lost to the finalists.

Diener is doubtful with an injured calf.
