Same injury for Graham? Hopefully he can bounce back. I really like what he brings to the table.

If only Greene would give a quarter shit about playing defense.

I'm pretty sure his brain is programmed with only 2 rules.

1) Get self open for 3, hit three, swag/3goggles all the way down the court.

2) Play absolutely zero defense, give up easy bucket (and potentially foul), look mad/confused-sad.

Repeat steps 1 and/or 2 until Coach credits you for win or benches you (if missing shots taken in Step 1; Step 2 is happening regardless of Step 1).


I really want to like the kid. I just hate players who have zero desire to play defense.

Yeah. I mean I don't know these guys personally, so I have nothing to base this on. But if anybody on KU was a D-Bag it'd probably be Greene lol

You are spot on, actually.

Didn't some poster on here claim Greene attacked him with a pizza box?

I vaguely remember that. It was likely a true story, too.

From what I've heard around campus it wouldn't surprise me.

[KC_Connection]

Threw the pizza box at this car, I believe. He's a menace!

[saphojunkie]

Or maybe he's just very generous with his pizza boxes.

It might help to know if he made "pizza box goggles" while running away.

Don't think anyone is saying he's a menace. He's just an asshole. A stupid one at that, by the way.

I was joking. I have no idea what his character is, nor do I particularly care as long as he continues to hit outside shots.

So, as my girlfriend and I were dropping off two of my close friends at the Oread Hotel, Brannen Greene is walking out. Obviously, hammered out of his mind. Takes one look inside our car and decides to throw a pizza box right onto my windshield. Before I can even get out and say anything, the prick comes up to my side window and starts yelling obscenities and asking me what the f*** I'm going to do. Okay, I get it, you are a Kansas basketball player. Congratulations, bum. I try to let the bad apple be and just leave without incident, but as we are trying to leave, Greene and his friend, with a group of about 4 girls, are standing exactly in the exit of the drive. We honk and they immediately start to turn and yell at us as if we are in the wrong, but my girlfriend opens the door and tells them to get the f*** out of the way and they again, direct nothing but hostility towards us as if we're wrong for trying to use the drive and by interrupting their conversation. Of course, everybody laughs and security does nothing. I know it's a college basketball town, but damn, I am really pissed off right now because of this idiotic behavior and disrespectful nature. I decided to take the high road since I am 28 and recently out of the Navy, but I know the guy has had issues before because it is continuously brought up by his lack of playing time and comments from Self. I just lost a TON of respect for these guys.

Found it.

One of you photoshop guys should make an advertisement for Brannen's Pizza.

If he gets to be really good and hits some game winners or consistently has the kind of night he had against Georgetown, the slogan would be "Brannen's delivers!"

[TLO]

Is the game on TV today?
