I'm fine with expanding the tournament.....IF they get rid of the other meaningless side tournaments (NIT, crown, etc).

Supreme Cook (Oregon) Tennessee Rainwater (Utah Tech)

Ant Wright: Purdue Michigan Wisconsin UCLA Illinois Michigan State Maryland Iowa Indiana Ohio State Oregon Washington Northwestern Nebraska USC Minnesota Rutgers Penn State Torvik rankings Purdue Michigan UCLA Illinois Michigan State Ohio State USC Wisconsin Iowa Maryland Indiana (one note: Josh Harris not on IU's roster for some reason; adding him would move IU to 9th) Nebraska Oregon Washington Northwestern MInnesota Penn State Rutgers

One game away from the finals.

Anyone shocked that the Knicks have 37 free throws with 3 1/2 minutes left? The NBA is just ridiculous.

Pacers up 15….refs call three straight offensive fouls on the pacers

Watch the knicks challenge the obvious blocking call and get it. NBA continues to try to have good things happen to the markets they want to win. the number of offensive fouls they’ve called on the pacers to get the knicks the lead is just ridiculous

Indiana. But I’m not sure why we switched from Indiana/Maryland to Indiana/NC State.

Maryland rebuilt their roster just like IU did. IU’s class is ranked 9th, Maryland’s is 16th. You seem strangely attracted to the thought that unless a player came from a P5 they aren’t any good.

Sorry, but this is a strange reaction to Maryland picking up passmore. Dude was horrible at Kansas last year in the time he was on the floor.

He pulls the same act in his posts at ITH.

Chrisdaplant and Ken enright both posting the dog in the car gif. Don’t know if they are talking about Leal or Goode.

NCAA is sooooooo slow on the waiver process.

If you can point out a 16.6 point, 7 rebound 7'1" power 5 level center that is still available, I'm all ears.

So IU releasing the Bison news after six months.....probably still faster than the NCAA will be at deciding Goode and Leal's status.

Or his grift.

Rabby doesn't exactly get inside information to feel.

Hawthorn -- 6'8" SF. Ranked 101st in class of 25. Since decommitting from West Virginia he has visited Kentucky, Virginia Tech, West Virginia again, Pittsburgh, and Duke. Unclear which schools offered a scholly but it is known that Va Tech did.

Bailey, Reed 6'11" Alexis, Sam 6'8" Harris, Josh 6'8" Sisley, Trent 6'7" DeVries, Trent 6'7" Dorn, Nick 6'7" (pending) Goode, Luke 6'7" Miles, Jasai 6'6" Wilkerson, Lamar 6'5" (pending) Leal, Anthony 6'5" Conerway, Tayton 6'3" Enright, Conor 6'2" Drake, Jason 6'2" Concerns: lack of interior depth. Overall, though, it's not a team that lacks size from 1 to 5. Average height: 6'6". Last year's roster: Ballo 7'0" James (I guess) 7'0" Hatton 6'10" Reneau 6'9" Mgbako 6'8" Tucker 6'7" Goode 6'7" Galloway 6'5" Leal 6'5" Rice 6'3" Newton 6'3" Carlyle 6'3" Cupps' 6'2" Average height: 6'6.6". If you take out James, Newton, and Cupps (since they didn't really play), it's 6'6.8"

Might be worth noting that last year under DeVries, West Virginia players over 6'8" averaged a total of 17 minutes per game. The roster at IU heightwise mirrors it pretty well. West Virginia's rotation: 6'3" 36 mpg 6'7" 35 mpg (only 8 games -- Tucker DeVries) 6'6" 30 mpg 6'8" 29 mpg 6'4" 27 mpg 6'8" 24 mpg 6'0" 19 mpg 6'11" 17 mpg 6'0" 13 mpg Average height of those rotational players/minute is 6' 5.4"

My expectation is Goode will get another season but Leal will not.

Not until the fat lady sings to Leal.

IU showing interest in Anakin Skywalker (Death Star State). Not the big we wanted and has been know to Force shots.

Would think Iowa didn't like the ruling against D2......half the players followed their coach from D2 to Drake to Iowa.

NCAA siding with caution right now as there is a current case going through the courts on it. JUCO's I believe are not eligible for NIL while D2 are, I believe is the difference but not sure.
