College Bball Thread

Remember how excited Illinois fans were when they hired Groce? I think the bloom is off the rose now. Wouldn't be surprised if they're shopping for a new coach in a year or so.

This is awesome and I love it. The Whining Illini are out in full force on twitter.

This Alabama crowd is WEAK. And Illinois should be ashamed

Bama has some talent and Grant did really well at VCU. I think they should have given him more time at a historically underperforming bball school. It seems the AD and Grant came to an agreeable misuderstanding. He will land on his feet, and this version of Bama looks pretty good. It sure seems like they have someone else in mind.

Is this a part of his "punishment"?

The Syracuse AD has also resigned, taking another position within the University.

NOBODY at Pitt or Miami either. Bama fans thinking about spring practice.

This UCONN/ASU game has been pretty good.  TIED UP!

Colorado St. didn't belong in the NCAA tourney after all. The Jackrabbits are putting it to them.

Edit: NIT game being played in Fort Collins, CO.

Not sure I understand why Jalen Coleman would sign to play basketball at Illinois.

in this usatoday article titled '68 fascinating facts about the 68 ncaa tournament teams', for purdue they have:

 

"The Indiana university has the highest ratio of male-to-female students for any tournament team.  At Purdue, 59% of the undergrads are men. That’s what a quarter-century of Gene Keady’s comb-over will do to a university’s gender ratio."

I'm sorry but I like the SI cover.

Slightly off topic, but this Notre Dame team is playing some good defense this year. I really think they have a run in them. Having followed the ND program for a bit and them being a football school, people either didn't care or thought Brey should be fired. But I feel like this season in particular speaks to the fact that coaches can change and improve, even after 15 years at the same school. He's changed a lot over the years and recruited a lot better recently. I also think he's adopting a strategy that's almost the opposite of Kentucky's where they are solid every year but every four years or so with the right upperclassmen can go on a deep run. And he graduates his players. Personally I'm rooting for ND to start a trend of going on deeper runs in the tourney. They do things the right way

Penn State gives Pat Chambers 2 year extension

[HoosierRob 1,042]

Penn State gives Pat Chambers 2 year extension

thats kind of questionable.. I know it's penny state but.. They are losing newbill.. He's everything to them.. They haven't sniffed the ncaas since he's been there..not saying he's a bad coach.. But 2 year extension? Just my opinion
