What kind of neighborhood was that strip club in for him to need the AK-47?

Izzo is a great coach but man does he like the thugs.

The whole Appling/Payne incident being swept under the rug is pretty crazy. That's how you end up with a loaded automatic.

My goodness. Makes having a bottle of vodka seem pretty tame.

Gavitt Games 2016

Nova at PUke - Go Nova!

Maryland at G'Town - Bleeding the well dry

Wisconsin at Creighton - That may be interseting

NW at Butler - Should be Butler's

Providence at Ohio St - The Friars might try to sneak Dunn back in

Rutgers at DePaul - Loser gets relegated to the MAAC or Summit League

Seton Hall at Iowa - If Jok doesn't come back...good luck.

St John's at Minnesota - Ugh, part two.

There are some really underwhelming games in this "tipoff" series.

St. John's should be improved with a few decent transfers but on the road. Not a marquee game.

Seton Hall at Iowa could be a decent game if Whitehead returns (did he hire an agent?) and Jok return. Iowa will be super young. Could be a decent game.

Rutgers at DePaul is an absolutely horrible matchup that should be played in a closed gym without recording devices. They should both be delegated to DIII.

Providence landed a few good transfers and playing at O$U should've a decent game.

NW at Butler could also be a decent game and could help to boost NW's noncon SOS. Decent game. Hope McIntosh doesn't get upset if he's booed.

Wisconsin at Creighton should be a decent matchup too. Wisconsin should contend for the B1G championship next season and @Creighton could be a good early season test.

Maryland at G'town was a good game last season but might be a matchup of evenly talented teams this upcoming season. They should change it up though.

Nova at puke should be a decent test for Nova but I think puke is going to take a rather large step back next season. They'll probably finish in the bottom half of the B1G.

I wish they would play more of these games and gave less terrible matchups. I guess it gives BTN some games to show in the noncon.

Are they not at their scholarship limit yet?

Are they not at their scholarship limit yet?

Two transfers and missing on Jackson left them with 11 scholarships used and two open I believe.

They are recruiting Taureen (sp) Thompson too. Looking to add another.

Florida's Brandone Francis will transfer, per release. Former Top-50 prospect.

Was once a target. Not likely anymore, but FYI.

Which incident was his? He tried to slice his gf? The bouncer? Punch his gf? Beat the crap of his friend who is a girl?

Maybe it's in anticipation of his next police encounter?   LOL

Apparently some of the Illinois players have been serving as mentors during the off-season:

Minnesota center Reggie Lynch was arrested on probable cause of criminal sexual conduct. He's suspended indefinitely, per team release.
