looks like he's old enough to be Hubbard's dad lol.

Dude looks like a mix of Dan Aykroyd and Chandler Bing

Jay Wright had a really intereting take on the Oakland and Kentucky game. He said the days of super freshman winning big are done because of NIL. Players like the kid from Oakland (he's 24 years old) have been playing college basketball longer than the Kentucky freshman have played high school and college combined. NIL will keeps your good players around longer now and they basically become veterans and veteran players level the playing field against more talented younger players.

To an extent, yes. However, Kentucky still should've beat them last night. Oakland had one guy(Gohkle) triple his avg and one guy(Cole) double his average. They had crazy nights and will likely regress back to the mean tomorrow. Add that to Shepherd and Wagner, both double digit averages, combining for 3 pts and you can see why this happened. Cal also had just a terrible gameplan. It seemed like every time they would get downhill they had either a open dunk, dump to the post for a dunk, or a kick out for a 3. Yet they would come down, run some unnecessary set that they looked confused on and would turn it over.

Some veterans just get a year older, not always better. Some will plateau as good college players and never move to the next level. Will be glad when all these covid eligibility years are gone and we have college age players playing against each other again.
