I felt like we were working our way back -- even after the ugly losses to Harvard and Butler -- but the beatdown to UNC canceled that out. Hopefully, we can win these next two and see where the chips fall when UCLA (currently No. 1) visits.

Yep -- just saw that. We'll see just how committed he is to "giving back to the community" -- which apparently, was a big reason he had interest in NSU.

Yes. I'm from the area (well, I'm actually from NW Indiana, but have lived here for 20-plus years) -- that's why I found this so interesting. Norfolk State is an HBCU that put together a decent run a few years back -- won their conference and made the FCS playoffs. Even have a pretty nice little stadium -- seats 30,000 or so, but nobody ever goes. NSU football on its own doesn't move the needle. Hasn't for years. But Michael Vick coaching them -- that would.

The next Deion ...??? https://www.pilotonline.com/2024/12/16/michael-vick-in-talks-to-become-norfolk-state-head-coach/

Oh, Skip -- no matter how hard you try, nobody takes you seriously anymore. I get that you're trying to get attention with your hot takes, but sometimes it's OK to stick with the mainstream. I could write a thesis on why Cigs is the obvious choice six days a week and twice on Sundays, but here's a simple factoid for ya: Nebraska 28, Colorado 10 IU 56, Nebraska 7

LaMendola remains in first 5. No real surprise. (Poetic, ain't I?)

Syd dressed and warming up. Seth Tow reports after taking a few shots, though, she sat on the bench with assistants while others continued to warm up. Listed as questionable. We've got almost two full weeks before our next B1G game, so no rush -- but it might not be a bad idea to get her a couple minutes here and there if she's able to go.

They made 30 3s and shot 63? And took 90 shots overall? Dayum -- their arms are gonna be tired tomorrow!

The next B1G basketball national champ will be ... One of these two ... Probably won't be long before they're in the conference.

Toiletmakers lose in Indy. Gee, what a shame ...

Good God -- TKR just blasted through an A&M defender. Did get the offensive foul.

A&M guard bumps knees with Cox and goes down. PU fans boo. Classy.

Braden Smith barking at the A&M bench. He dived for a loose ball and took out an A&M player. Not sure how that wasn't a foul on him.

A&M by a dozen -- 62-50 with 4:30 to go.

A&M kid and Fletcher Loyer both came down with a rebound. A&M kid ripped the ball free, sending Loyer flying like a rag doll. I chuckled.

Jeezus -- Braden Smith just hit one of the ugliest 3s I've ever seen. Splatted on the neck of the rim and almost got stuck there -- before falling in. A&M 52-47 with 12 minutes to go.

PU and Texas A&M playing a tight one in Indy. Aggies up 47-44 with just over 15 minutes left.

Saw this on FB. Made me chuckle ...

There is a bit of good news on the Woody front. We won't lose to Nebraska again this season. Unless we play them in the B1G tourney. That is, if we qualify for the B1G tourney ...

I don't need to fight To prove I'm way more than right Basketball wasteland

Our $1M big man (or whatever he's getting paid) took four shots tonight. I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around that (mostly because it's a pretty small brain).

We've had plenty of games in which we don't even shoot 26 3s. Tonight, we've missed 26. Progress!!!

Missing a LOT of wide-open 3s.

Goode diving out of bounds after a loose ball and flinging it back in is a possession? Okey-doke.
