The 2 rumors that are out there is that he quit due to lack of work ethic or he quit due to lack of chemistry with his team mates.

In other words, prima donna.

He's used to being a star, Altman made him earn minutes (probably asked him to play defense, run the actual offense, and pass the ball), and he's not happy.

That is what it sounds like to me and he did pull a stunt similar to this in high school. He transferred from Oakland to Findlay Prep mid season then quit and went back to Oakland.

Was only averaging 6pts and 2boards through 2 games and shooting 27%. Hard to judge a kid too much on his first two games as a freshman, but looks like there was some trouble adjusting

...and the Pac-12's OOC struggles continue:

Saint Louis 77
Washington 64

I think he was trying to hard instead of just letting the game come to him.

Question, the Ducks next opponent is Nebraska and I was wondering what you guys knew about their basketball program this year.

Ducks won their OOC game 86-61 over SE Missouri State and oddly enough played better without Jabari Brown. Next up is Nebraska and I know how much you guys love them lol

Nebraska was picked 11th in the B1G preseason poll. They lost their leading scorer from last year, but they do return a bunch of veterans, including the biggest/fattest Brazilian dude you will ever see in your life. He's like 8'6 535lbs, but not very good. They're 3-0 so far this year with two junk wins, and a 64-61 2OT win at U$C. Lincoln can be kind of a black hole, they're not very good but they have a way of making games ugly and finding ways to beat teams that are better than them at home. It'll be an ugly, low-scored, physical game.

8'6" ? Holy ****.

[CVilleBuff]

8'6" ? Holy ****.

in reality he's just a mere 7 footer, but I swear he looks bigger than that. He's listed at 310lbs this year which has to be BS unless he's trimmed about 40lbs off since last year. He is HUGE

[CanadianDuck]

8'6" ? Holy ****.

I know and 535 lbs LOL!

[CanadianDuck]

Altman says he is shocked and hopes brown reconsiders his decision. Sounds like all of the players were blindsided by Jabari Brown leaving the team and they did not find out until after the game was over. Something is odd here.

CU's all-time records against our new conference foes:

Arizona: CU leads 8-4. Last played: 1974

Oregon: CU leads 3-2. Last played: 2004 (NIT)
Oregon State: CU leads 6-2. Last played: last season
Stanford: Stanford leads 7-3. Last played: 2008
Southern California: USC leads 3-2. Last played: 1975
UCLA: UCLA leads 4-1. Last played: 1977
Utah: CU leads 21-17. Last played: 2006
Washington: Washington leads 7-6. Last played: 1996
Washington State: tied 1-1. Last played: 1969

61-58 overall.

I'm honestly really surprised at how little we've faced our new conference foes in basketball. We've practically played more games against the Pac in football than we have in basketball, despite there being so many more OOC basketball games. You'd think with there being so many less athletic programs in the west than the east that we would have bumped into these guys more often than we have out of simple traveling convenience + some regional interest. Only facing ASU 4 times and none since 1968? Oregon only 5 times? Strange.

I have a feeling a lot of this is about to change. Don't ask me why.
