If Purdue does indeed lose Swanigan, and Davis, and Hammons...... Ouch. Weak 2016 class too.

I like Edwards, but it would be a WAY down year.

We are so bad it has come to be that the only pleasure I get is to watch PU FAIL!

Kentucky vs Alabama about to tip off. I think this will be a good one

No interest, Bama has not beat them in forever.

Kaylee Hartung is amazingly beautiful

Rhode Island playing themselves into the tourney right now

[Hoosier Guy 7,561]

Michigan playing good ball. They're up 47-36 at halftime

[KingPG21 6,587]

Don't know what Beilein did the last month or so. But he has those kids playing out of their minds recently. Think of what he could do if he was at a basketball first school that wanted to get fully behind him in everything.

Kentucky up 33-32 at halftime. Alabama hanging tough with them. I'm not surprised

really good coach. good player development too. That Burke, THJ, GR3, McGary team was a lot of fun to watch. 

[Hoosier Guy 7,561]

Yeah Beilein is underrated as a coach. He usually gets his guys to play fundamentally sound basketball. And we all know that goes a long way in winning games

UT Arlington down 13 with 6 min to go. I hope they come back because I think they could make noise in the tournament

Michigan playing meh ball. Took 7 minutes for Minnesota to tie the game.

[Hoosier Guy 7,561]

Michigan wins 84-77. Kentucky wins 79-74. Both of these were pretty good games. Coming up is NW vs Wisconsin and Vanderbilt vs Arkansas

[Uspshoosier 46,455]

Good finish on ESPNu Princeton and penn tied with 5 secs. This would be a brutal loss for Princeton. Undefeated in conference play and this is the first year Ivy League decides to have a 4 team tournament to decide at large bid. Game is in OT

Illinois just fired Groce

[Hovadipo 56,942]

Illinois tried making Monty Williams one of the top paid coaches in the country. Lol I feel comfortable that they won't be dangerous anytime soon.

That's an odd choice to make one of the top-paid coaches in the country.  I think they should try and pry Hoiberg away from Chicago, but that'll be an interesting vacancy to keep an eye on because they're rumored to also be targeting Cuonzo Martin, who is also on Mizzou's list.

Monty Williams would have been an awesome hire. Idk if you have paid attention to the NBA but he may not have had a ton of success but the respect he has in the league is crazy. When he lost his wife my whole twitter feed was people saying sorry. Has connections to USA basketball as well. Popovich has already said if he were to call it quits he would want Monty to take over. That is the best reference any coach out there could use on their resume. He isn't one of those washed up guys who became an assistant after being a horrible coach. He would have made me worry about Illinois again I know that.

Just chucking money at a popular NBA guy isn't going to automatically make you a successful program.

Northwestern is getting hammered!
