    List PLAYERS that will sit out the small tournaments...

    Guys, every year when some teams don't make it to the big dance and are invited to the smaller tournaments like cbb and nit, some star players sit out.

    Lets keep this thread to name the team and players this year.

    Usually players going to NBA sit out if vthey don't make it to the big dance because these small tourny games are useless for them and they don't want to risk an injury.

    For today's game:

    CALIFORNIA:Senior Jabari Bird, Cal's leading scorer, is questionable due to a concussion. Sophomore forward Ivan Rabb, the team's No. 2 scorer, is considering entering the NBA draft.

    Both those players sat out because they didn't care about this tournament. If cali had made it to the big dance, both would have played with the game. Cali is getting crushed in the first half down by 20.

    I had +9.5 too. Liked moneyline but didn't play until it was confirmed the 2nd player was out too...by then line moved to 6.5 and the moneyline i got was +260. I should have played earlier at better odds but oh well.

    I didn't play the 2nd half even though i liked the spread. Cali bakersfield is a defensive team that drains the clock and they will just try to drain 30 seconds in each possession and try to play defense. Under might be the play in the 2nd half but i am sitting out second half holding +9.5 and +260.

    Still, great job grabbing the ML. I fukked up and didn't pull the trigger.

    Anyway, could be good we laid off the 2H, we'll see.

    Bird left the court bleeding last game after falling hard first two minutes of the game. Rabb may be hurt but prob can play, think he was projected top ten if he left last year, should have left.

    can;t see any updates on players entering draft from these small tourny games...usually when they enter the draft they sit out with some fake injuries.
