My projections?  There is definitely a bunch of teams from the 9 line to the 6 line that are about the same.   I start my 2 week basketball vacation this weekend and my kids will be done with basketball so this weekend is when I will do a deep dive into it but it seems the bubble is shaping up to be between 8-12 teams. 

The Mecca of March.  Death, taxes, and USPS watching every basketball game like it’s a Christmas present being opened up.  Still love that bracket you got for Christmas a few years ago.  I need one, but I need your setup more.  Didn’t even think about the grouping from 6 to 9.  Would love to see a couple 8/9 clip a 1.

Turns back around and goes back to the college basketball thread to watch more conference tourneys.   Old Dominion/Texas St tied with 5 sec to go 

Looks like my Monarchs won (I live about 15 miles from ODU). 

I don't have ESPN-plus, so had to check the score online.

ODU had a coach a few years back who was fired because of alcohol issues. Was a damn good coach, too. 

Reading through this whole sordid Beard debate kinda takes me back to his tenure.

Lol. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’re the same type of person who would NOT like Scott Drew because he shows his Faith. 

No not at all.  I was just calling out people who think this is OK and hide behind something . I am a Christian myself and this doesn’t fly.

Has your firm, Mr. Lawman, ever tried someone for SGS?

Cops just witnessed the following on the victim.  I mean WTF are we talking about.

I’m just hoping they don’t expand the tourney lol.   If they do I’m going to have to take it apart and have someone print a new one 

Really glad you started posting again.   Missed you posting here.   
 

i will be really glad when this search is over.

I see that you have not tried an SGS case before. Interesting.

You’re fine to have your opinion…you don’t need to gaslight the situation. We get it…you are against the Beard hire. You’re not going to convince the many others that are for Beard otherwise.

[BleedCubbieBlue 1,943]

Everybody has strong feelings about Beard, but instead of hashing it out here we should focus on our next coach, Mark Turgeon.

 Buried a 3 with 1.1 to go to win it.   Even when people are arguing over Beard in this thread don’t mind college basketball it’s just over here delivering.   Every single day

Oh damn, I didn’t even think about that end of it.  Hopefully they don’t, and hopefully IU doesn’t play in Dayton so you can enjoy it.  And me too.

Only reason these people want him is because the wife beater is associated with Knight.  That’s it.  

Actually, it’s time to cut the cord from the Knight “ tree”. Can’t think of of one  who’s been really successful. Knight was one of a kind. Think it would be actually beneficial to start fresh.

No one will ever convince me you don’t have 4 pairs of eyes for all those games you watch at once.

We need to cut the entire old guard and Knight tree off.  We need an entire reboot.  Beards offense is difficult to watch.  Don’t think people have really watched him.  Anyone ever associated with Knight needs to be removed from the list.  They are living in their fantasy world.

Why is it that every time I read your name I switch the W and the M and think to myself, “damn, I could go for a Mrs. Wicks sugar cream pie right now?

Like I said….poster from another site:  

 

“Chris Beard is the most overrated coach going right now. Dude is 10 games over .500 for his career in conference at the P5 level. He's had two noteworthy seasons, both early at Texas Tech, and that was almost a decade ago. Since then he's been mediocre city.

There is absolutely nothing about Chris Beard's resume that suggests he'd elevate IU to a top 5 program. He couldn't maintain it at Tech, couldn't do it at UT, and hasn't done it at Ole Miss.

But he's a "tough guy" and liked Knight, so that's good enough for quite a few people.

Edit: I know some will say Lubbock is a tough place to win, but McCasland has that place rolling better than Beard did at his peak. Might as well just hire him. Better coach without the baggage.”

 

it’s only because of Knight.  Get past that guy.  Beard will not be the guy.  Probably end up beating another woman because he couldn’t handle Texas and you think he can handle Indiana.  GTFOH

McCasland hasn’t taken TT to the title game last time I checked. Find me the last time Ole Miss was in the top 25 in basketball? Basketball alone he absolutely should be considered a viable candidate. Dolson isn’t going to hire someone that he can’t fund. The man made a living fundraising. Let him do his job.

I think a lot of the Beard talk is his agents pushing hard, former players that want him and some donors. Does that mean he is given more consideration that previously thought? Possibly, but I still have a hard time thinking we pick him. I don't see the President signing off on him. And while some donors want him I doubt the heavy hitters like the Cook family will be ok with it. 

So what happened today. I woke up and it was OtZ, then Stevens now beard? Can someone recap for me? Why do we think it’s beard? Is Stevens out now?

According to Casey Jacobsen, if you don't like Woody...you got a problem!

Well, after a stellar FIVE year NBA career with 14 career starts where he averaged 18.5 minutes and 5.2 points per game, who could possibly discount his opinion?

Otz rumor is coming from Trilly’s Discord from a St John’s guy

Beard has an alleged meeting with IU in the coming days according to Rabby’s/Hoosier Husteria Podcast. Rabby also followed up saying Beard is becoming an legitimate candidate.

Rabby also heard of multiple 6 year/~$62 million for Stevens, but doesn’t believe it. Although he also heard of any anonymous coach (probably Stevens) with a similar offer from another source and is locked up.

And Rabby believes Brownell is in the mix

to sum it up, all the rumors are over the place

Dude, if you hit a woman and end up in jail, you are the worst kind of person.  Not a weak moment.  It shows how much of a POS you really are.  Everyone can hold me to that standard and if I did do it, please ban me from ever being a partner at another firm.  I just guess I know I will never do that.  

If you're accused of it but didn't do it? Does that end all your future opportunities as well? It should take more than an allegation.
