One minute of play for the oft-overlooked Buie today, but he managed to get to the free throw line and make a pair, and pick up a steal and an assist.

Vipers and Warriors playing in a G League single-elimination, quarterfinal playoff game on ESPN2 now.

Eli's team up big, 85-60, heading into the 4th now.

Both Eli and Desure were playing to finish up the 3rd. Buie with a couple of nice drive and kicks for good looks on 3's, both missed (one by former NE g/f Occeus)

Both are back in to start the 4th.

Ha, you beat me to it cactus - I was going to mention I just saw Occeus playing for the Vipers too.

One year ago today, I was in D.C., watching Buie and Eli play in the CAA quarterfinals. Today, I'm home, watching Buie and Pemberton oppose each other in a G-League playoff game as their former Hofstra teammates prepare for a CAA semifinal game tonight.

Santa Cruz wins, 110-81.

Their next game is in the semifinals tomorrow at 7 pm ET on ESPNU.

Best case, we'll miss that game because we'll have Eli's former team to watch on CBS SportsNetwork at that time.

Worst case, if Elon is playing at that time, then we'll at least have Eli's team to watch in the playoffs (although I'd probably also watch the CAA final anyway).

Eli looks like a pro out there.
Hoping Desure gets another G league shot in the future.

Eli only with 4 minutes in the semifinal loss. Hope to see him on a roster again next year. He's the most pro ready of the 3 Hofstra guys in the g league.

Wasn't sure where to post this but this looked like the most recent thread on Buie, so:

His stats playing in Slovakia are very impressive. https://basketball.eurobasket.com/playe ... nec/369410

He's averaging 17.4 a game playing 34 minutes and is shooting the three over 48%. IDK how good this league is but he's playing at a high level.

I guess Buie can now say he matched JWF's 48 points:

Get it DB!

So I'm not well-versed in all this - where can this lead for him??

What is the path for a Buie or a Pemba to get another real shot at the league at this point?
