X vs. St Johns are now must-see Big East games next winter.

SEC athletic departments also have MASSIVE football money.

Lunardi is the Issac Newton of the emerging, but rapidly-growing, scientific field of Bracketology. How dare you besmirch his name!

Speculation here in Cincinnati is that Xavier is going to rehire Chris Mack.

Fights were inevitable. Cincinnati Catholics can put 'em away.

Vick is a redemption story. But Ron Mexico was the pseudonym he used when he was being treated for vd.

What's even funnier is that he's on his second coach at Xavier. He's like a cockroach.

Jerome Hunter's eligibility outlasted Woody's entire tenure at IU.

I don't understand why these guys don't understand that a single 2-point bucket is worth less than a 4th foul.

Comeback from dog fighting or vd?

It's interesting how the fans' relationship with the players has changed now that they are all hired guns.

The funniest thing is that at least some of these people don't know how funny your username is.

I believe all of this. What I don't understand is the absolute certainty on everyone's part that Brad Stevens would have guaranteed wins. He hasn't coached anybody for four years and hasn't coached in college in over a decade. College basketball is not even the same sport as it was when Brad Stevens was winning at Butler with Shelvin Mack and Gordon Hayword. It's been so long that Hayword, his best player, just retired after a 14-year NBA career.

Because he’s catching strays from his bros. He’s admitted that. FWIW, I don’t know anything about college basketball coaches but I think it’s always better to hire someone on the rise instead of a “retread.” Just because that route failed with Archie doesn’t mean that it’s not the right move.

You guys have lofty expectations. I just want DeVries to put together a team that can not get whipped in Lincoln, Iowa City, and Evanston in a single season. Can he do that?
