Anyone see Fran McCaffery throw a fit at the end of the game last night and walk off without shaking hands? I understand him being upset about the North Dakota player stealing the ball when there is nothing on the line and the game is basically over (3 sec left down by 11 points) but you don't walk off the court and you don't tell your players to do the same.


I didn't see it but here is the link to the ESPN article. He was peeved b/c of the last second steal and poor Jok getting beat up.

Let's just say for instance that I'm a Wichita St fan. Which of the 2 games do I want to see between IU and Butler or Ohio St and UCLA in 2016-17 season. Without my crimson shades on, it's most definitely the OSU and UCLA game. I'm more impressed with UCLA than some of you. I think they are that good!

There isn't anything at all about this Crossroads Classic that appealing. What do they do to help it? Make it a 8 team field? Then who do you choose to fill in the other 4 spots? Have a play in tournament of some sorts?

Why not make it 10, and rotate who plays who every year?

  1. Indiana

  2. Purdue

  3. Notre Dame

  4. Butler

  5. Indiana State

  6. Ball State

  7. Evansville

  8. Valparaiso

  9. IUPUI

  10. IPFW

There are a lot of former Sycamore players, and a lot of fans that say schools like Butler and IU are scared to play them.  In-state schools always get up and play their best against the other, larger schools.  I think it'd be fun.

That would just be doubling down on an event we should already not be playing in. We'd be trading a locked in game against Butler or ND potentially for a game against Ball State or IUPUI? No thanks!

That wouldn't happen. The draw for that event is IU. Even the Purdue ND game had a lot of empty seats. No way they are playing 5 games with a half empty arena in all but one or two.

ESPN’s Jay Bilas, a Duke alum, said he expects the ACC to punish Allen for his third tripping incident in two years.

“No excuse for it, absolutely no excuse,” Bilas said during the Kentucky-Louisville game. “And I think in this instance, being the third time in the last couple years, you’ll see the ACC take action. There’s absolutely no excuse. Zero.

“I can’t believe he did that again. I absolutely can’t believe it.”

Jay(son) Williams is ranting about Allen at halftime of 'Hell on Earth'; wants him suspended 5 games and shouldn't have played the 2nd half. The Duke contingent is none too pleased.

Edit: Mr. NIT is calling out the ACC for taking favor with Duke.

How do most Duke fans feel about him? Also, its been a while since you've posted, glad to see you back on here

 

People think this is gonna affect his draft stock? He is probably a poor man's JJ Reddick in the NBA..... but still. Do teams care that this is apparently an issue
