Yarden released her official announcement today ... Would love to know what prompted this. Because after a few days of no portal, I thought she was staying. And being an international student, isn't there a limit to how much NIL she can get anyway?

I guess the "Do not contact" tag is just a courtesy? I thought that meant the transfer either knew where they were going -- or wanted to do the contacting themselves. I saw a report that Kentucky had "reached out" to Garzon. But isn't that a violation of the DNC tag? Or maybe she contacted them? Or maybe she let it be known that she was OK with contact with UK? One thing I found kinda funny. Some website that brands itself as a leader in women's basketball news listed several "possibly (sic) landing sports" for Garzon -- including Purdue, Nebraska and Wisconsin. C'mon -- if she's leaving IU, she ain't gonna go to Nebraska, Purdue or Wisconsin.

The face of IUBB is an athletic trainer? Rightly or wrongly, he was named in the Bomba-sex abuse lawsuit. There's a new coaching regime coming in. He's 68 years old. Perfect time for a change.

According to Rabby's story, Garzon has a Do Not Contact tag -- which I guess means she likely knows where she's going. Since she took a few days to enter, I wonder if she was waiting for the right offer privately -- rather than enter right away and have a free-for-all for her services? Was really hoping she'd come back. Thought she was primed for a big senior season.

Agreed -- Dude's obsessed with wanting to shut down threads.

Until a coach leaves for College Park. Then his job comes open. And when his job is filled, that opens another. And so on and so on ... That's why it's a ... (BTW -- that creepy girl is gonna give me nightmares!)

Yikes. Broome's injury didn't look good.

Tennessee makes it a little close, then Houston creates some distance with a batch of 3s. Must be nice.

HAPPY NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP DAY! On this day (March 30), we won three of our five nattys: 1987, 1981 and who can forget that memorable 1940 victory by Branch McCraken's boys over Kansas. Hoping D-Rock can start getting us excited about March again. Getting a little sick and tired of watching everybody else have all the fun.

Getting way ahead of myself here, but say Florida and Duke reach the title game ... I find it difficult to imagine there's ever been a championship game coached by two guys in their 30s.

Wonder how many Florida coeds will be getting texted photos of Golden's junk tonight???

Never gets called -- but Clayton traveled on that inbounds pass. He was shuffling his feet as he threw it in. Can't do that.

Not sure if we've had this here yet, but ... South Dakota State's Eric Henderson to Drake

Our previous coach during the state finals ...

Was a bit of a different play, but that reminded me of our loss to Illinois when we were No. 1 in 2013. We got caught up in a series of screens, an Illini player was left wide-open for a layup and like Purdue tonight, we were left standing there with our d-cks in our hands. That was the genius of John Groce. LOL!

With 11 losses, no way did Purdue deserve a No. 4 seed -- and to get sent to the Indy regional.

WHAT A PLAY!!!

One guy had the ball that entire possession. I friggin' hate that.

Houston's gotta get their groove back. They're just dribbling around in circles right now.

I think TKR stepped out of bounds before that foul.

Houston was looking very discombobulated in the first half. They're looking a little more bobulated now.

For a team two 7-footers, Michigan is getting killed on the glass.

Toiletmakers got away with a goaltend.
