Re: Mass Street TBT
Apparently played at Coffeyville and Utah Valley
Re: Mass Street TBT
So I guess half the "roster" isn't actually playing again.

Did the scrimmage happen tonight?
Re: Mass Street TBT
Overland Park — The Mass Street team of Kansas men’s basketball alumni got a solid assessment of its strengths and weaknesses in an exhibition on Wednesday night, with several days to go until it opens The Basketball Tournament.
The biggest weakness of all may have been that, as head coach Sherron Collins noted, most of its players had just gotten into town.
Mass Street, playing together as a unit for the first time and still without several of its key players, fell behind the Kansas State alumni team Purple Reign 68-52 in the Wheat State Summer Showdown at Johnson County Community College.
After Purple Reign coach Jordan Henriquez-Roberts called timeout, the two teams then tied the score and practiced TBT’s Elam Ending format, playing so that the first team to eight points won. That was an exercise in which Purple Reign also took the victory, after Devon Baulkman (formerly of Tennessee) hit three straight free throws following a shooting foul by Mass Street’s Travis Washington (from Utah Valley).
“We’ll be good,” Collins said. “We’ll be great. You can tell (Purple Reign has) been practicing, they’ve been together, which — they look good together. We’ll be that way. We’re missing Frank (Mason), which is a big part. We’re missing a couple pieces, so we’ll be fine. Once we get running and moving, we’ll be OK.”
Collins said the target-score concept was “exciting but weird.”
“It’s different rules with the Elam, and the way they foul, the way you call timeouts,” he said, “so we just wanted to simulate that, get them a test run of that.”
Mass Street was represented by eight players on Wednesday, two of whom did not go to KU (Chandler Lawson and Washington). The six former Jayhawks taking part on Wednesday were Sam Cunliffe, Dedric Lawson, Billy Preston (who never played an official game for KU), Jamari Traylor, Lagerald Vick and Kevin Young.
Vick scored 20 points, including five 3-pointers, to lead Mass Street, which went up 21-10 early and forced a timeout by Henriquez-Roberts before the K-State alumni seized control with a 16-0 run.
“I think we knew Lagerald was going to come in ready,” Collins said. “He’s been the one talking in the group chat more of the time, he’s excited, and a lot of guys got bad feelings in their mouth from last year. He’s one of them. He wants to come out and have a good showing. We just need him to keep shooting like that.”
Young added 11 as the lone remaining Mass Street player in double digits.
Besides Mason, the headliner of this year’s squad, Mass Street’s official roster also lists Silvio De Sousa, Ben McLemore, Thomas Robinson and Brandon Rush.
General managers Travis Releford and Tyshawn Taylor attended the game, along with a group of additional current and former Jayhawks in the audience, such as Christian Braun, Tyon Grant-Foster, Patrick Cassidy, Zach Clemence, Hunter Dickinson, Rylan Griffen and Shakeel Moore.
The K-State alumni played smoothly and efficiently after Henriquez-Roberts’ early stoppage, getting out in transition with ease, withstanding a timeout by Collins and claiming the lead.
Mass Street briefly pulled back ahead on a 3-pointer by Young that made it 30-28 before Purple Reign scored three times in a row. The KU alumni soon conceded another drastic run, 12-2 with three 3-pointers and a vicious reverse dunk off a turnover by Preston, before Vick chipped in twice more from deep to cut the deficit to 56-46 at the conclusion of a 20-minute half.
In the remaining five minutes of game time before the target-score setup, Preston, Vick and Young scored once apiece, but Purple Reign was able to build its lead to 16 points.
Mass Street is hosting an open practice at The Good Game gym in Lawrence on Thursday at 11 a.m. and will take on Colorado State alumni team Ram Up in its opening TBT game on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Wichita.

Re: Mass Street TBT
Pretty bad when Kevin Young is your second best scorer. These things are such a joke.

Re: Mass Street TBT
The better players weren't there yet.
Frank will be a beast in this format.
Sure, they're a "joke". But it's fun to watch former jayhawks.
These aren't our NBA caliber players. That's why they are playing in this and not summer league or signed to overseas contracts that don't allow them to play.

Re: Mass Street TBT
It sucks that most of the doods on the roster have been in trouble at some point.
Guttermeter-6
But yea, Frank is the only PG on the roster.
But he’s the only PG you need.
And Trob was a beast last year, should be again

1. Will the team be good, great, fine, or ok?
“We’ll be good,” Collins said. “We’ll be great. You can tell (Purple Reign has) been practicing, they’ve been together, which — they look good together. We’ll be that way. We’re missing Frank (Mason), which is a big part. We’re missing a couple pieces, so we’ll be fine. Once we get running and moving, we’ll be OK.”
2. Many people on here make a point of shitting on Hunter Dickinson. SOMETIMES justifiable to a degree but that degree becomes excessive.
The dude didn't have to travel far but he made a point to show up to support the KU guys and was with some of his current teammates - bonding. To me, that's a +1 Dickinson.

Re: Mass Street TBT
Millions of right reasons.
Re: Mass Street TBT
I watched. TBT is a fun dose of summer basketball. And the mass street roster is probably the most competitive they have had so far, in large part because of frank Mason
Frank was dynamic:

Re: Mass Street TBT
Billy Preston was an impressive specimen
Re: Mass Street TBT
that means something coming from an intersimensional beast of the forest.
Some say you are something of an imposing specimen too....why do you throw rocks at people and knock on trees? Is it true you guys really like copenhagen?

Yea, Frank is dynamic.
Every time he has the ball it’s like the crowd is waiting to gasp.
