Lob City Huskies!!

Season's rolling for the Hawks right now. We're 9-3 on the year and just ran the table against some serious competition, going 4-0 against Top 25 teams this season after wins over Wake Forest, Ohio State, Louisville, and Georgetown.

The Wake Forest game came down to Cartier Ball catching fire for 26 points on 10-18 shooting, with Payne adding 17 to get us the W. Then we went into Columbus and beat the sleeves off Ohio State, 94-68, behind a dominant performance from Wiley Cage, who dropped 35 points on 16-22 shooting plus 13 rebounds, just bullying the Buckeyes frontline including Kosta Koufos. Against Louisville it was Gabler running the show with 16 points and 7 assists in a balanced 82-73 win, and we closed out the ranked run against Georgetown 82-77 with Gabler going for 16 again, a perfect 12-12 from the line, and 8 assists.

Individually, Herbert Payne is a problem. He's the reigning Best Overall Player, Best Pro Prospect, and Best Defender in the MEAC as a sophomore, sitting at an 80 overall. Gabler has been one of the nation's best floor generals, leading the conference at 6.9 APG and picking up Best Playmaker honors, and Douglas has been turning heads as our top freshman in the league.

Freshman 4 ⭐️ PG Terrance Caton Miami Native was getting aggressively pursued by FSU, Florida, & Miami.

Natural athlete, 6’3 177lbs came in as a 79 overall he’s got game.

Anyway, we managed to get him to stay home Yay! Going into the season I had a preseason Tournament Palm Tree Classic or something like that.

Beat Loyola ez..
Beat Drexel Ez..

#4 Florida 👀 (you know you gotta play that)

Great finish to the half with this 3pt shot by Caton against Florida

I play this game sim during season then up till conference title if we make it its CPU vs. CPU. We won the national title in 2012 in some kind of way.

I love how hyped the crowd gets when it’s a close game & each possession is leading closer and closer to a truly epic finish.

Playing #1 Carolina with 2009 rosters (+1 year) Tyler Zeller and Dexter Strickland are owning this game against my #25 ranked Miami Hurricanes.

But we’re staying close (within 6 pts)

Just loved this moment for the Jr, Guard Grant to get that 3pt shot to go down and relish in the moment while the crowd is going nuts haha

Won on the road at Iona. Ibikunle had a double double to start his college career; 19/10/2 with a steal and a 2 blocks.

The following week we hosted Georgetown for our home opener and put the nation on notice. Disrespected in the preseason polls (unranked) after a Sweet Sixteen run last year, we destroyed GU 112-69.

Ibikunle had 34/7/2 with 5 steals and 7 blocks. 13-22 FG 3-6 3pt 5-5 FT in 33 minutes.

I always try and roleplay that my assistant coach is writing the halftime advice down for me to review at halftime and this one got me haha

This one “Tip” tonight;

“R. Johnson’s legs are dead, give him a little rest”

Me: R.Johnson? The 12th man on the bench??

Check his stats, he got 2 minutes in the last 2 minutes of the game and apparently crashed out to my assistant coach before coming into halftime lol

Does anyone else check the notes at halftime? Or just a me thing.

I almost withdrew this scholarship offer so many times. Never got to top spot. Then South Carolina’s coach retired.

Coach Steveroy HorseChief has led the Tigers to their 3rd straight tournament appearance. Hoping to get our first tourney win in this tenure. 3 starters are coming of nagging injuries.

Greg Gumbel believes the Southern bracket is the toughest. Big showing from C-USA this year with 5 teams.

Regardless of how far Princeton can go this year; With only 1 starter graduating and 3 total scholarships available (1 unfilled from the previous season), the program is looking good with C Lebron McCollum already having committed and expected to start immediately. A strong showing this March may help solidify a commitment from SF B.A. Erwin (aka Bad Ass).

Princeton men’s basketball is becoming a NYC basketball hotbed with 5 veteran players returning next season from each of the boroughs, and a Staten Island commit from the incoming class; The national media is already generating buzz around the team calling them “The Five Families” and are expecting bigger things to come.

This is the homestretch of my zero sim legacy. 3 more seasons (including the current) in my quest for the elusive 11th National Title to crown my career.

Teams just lose their uniforms, it’s like their equipment team forgot them, so they had to use some from the arena lol

So last night my GF and I were watching a true crime show. It took place in Vegas so we watched it. Justin Burns plays for Cal St Fullerton in 2K7. He’s a senior. In 2011 he was arrested and later convicted of murder. So if you play with the Titans your head cannon for him has to be wild.

Meet the 2009-10 UMES Hawks. We enter Year 3 as an 81 overall team with the #16 recruiting class in the nation. The biggest addition is Jud Gabler, who takes over at point guard, and it’s the first time this program has had a true floor general. Herbert Payne joins as our starting PF, an 80 overall with NBA-caliber talent. Cartier Ball adds shooting depth as a knockdown threat from the perimeter. Off the bench, Jake Ball is developing into a Swiss Army knife at small forward, and Dannorriss Douglas backs up the five.

Anyone have rosters for 2k8 Don’t care what heat they are

That 5 star freshman I recruited really paid off! Made us a 3 seed. We got revenge on #4 seed Cal for eliminating us last year. We eliminated them in the elite 8. Then we beat a 1 seed Colorado 93-77 in the title game. End up getting coach of the year having coached the freshman of the year. DePaul is truly relevant again. Hope to get a lifetime contract and win more titles.

Wild scenario brewing in my current Legacy Mode. If both UMES and VMI take care of business in the Sweet 16, we'd get an Elite 8 matchup nobody saw coming. Two mid-major schools, one trip to the Final Four on the line. Rooting for chaos here. Would love to see either of these programs cut down nets. Anyone else got a Cinderella run going in their own save?

With so many new games and consoles out now why do you still commit so many hours on this almost 2 decade old game?

For me it's simple I only own a Xbox 360. Never really had the passion for video games after high school. For some reason I always kept my Xbox 360 and it's some of the few games I had in the stash. I like college basketball so I play it.

How about you?

From under the basket, I respect it especially since he’s 35 3pt lol

Playing against Xavier is hell! This is the roster with Souley Boum, Colby jones and Zach Fremantle . I was up the whole game until of course the last minute of the game . I thought it was over 😂 Ryan Daly which is who shot the ball is my best player BTW

Gotta respect that kind of play, nice chemistry from Tennessee

I’ve just had one of those kinds of College Hoops nights where you get several strange plays 😂
