Olivia I mean this with all due respect but you're making yourself look bad. Fair weather and Bandwagon fans are the worst. Just root for Duke as far as I'm concerned.

My apologies everybody.

Dosunmu has been one of the more impressive guards in EYBL. In the Garland/Langford territory.

I'm not sure we are really after him but he is going to be a stud.

The Duke fandom is beyond baffling to me. Still a Duke fan after Allen is gone?

Grayson Allen is a one of the biggest crybaby/headcases in college basketball. Why is anyone kissing his @$$ ??

Question: Who is this lady. Everytime I watch an IU game she is situated as an usher behind the television broadcast table wearing her IU basketball beads. My wife and I always say, "We need to find out who she is". She is at every home game. Anyone know? Just curious. Don't want to call anyone out or anything.

You know I have always wondered that as well.

Rothstein:  Isaac Haas is returning to Purdue next season, per a source. Entered 2017 NBA Draft without an agent.

Tweet from JaQuan Lyle.  Thanking OSU as he does certainly suggests he's finished at OSU.

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,976]

Hope he makes the best of his talents and straightens his life out before it's too late. I think he has the potential to be a good kid if he gets the right guidance.

Or maybe I'm wrong, but something tells me he's more young, dumb, and immature than a bad guy.

Maybe he's a kid that just needs to get far away from home. Some guys aren't bad guys but they have bad influences that they won't cut out because they've been friends for so long.

Matta better be able to pull a rabbit out of his hat this next season.

More bad news for Ohio State basketball 

Forget good news. At this point, even no news would be an improvement for the Ohio State basketball team.

The Buckeyes’ travails over the past few months have been well-documented, but here’s a refresher. There was a season-ending loss to Rutgers. Improved big man Trevor Thompson put his name in the NBA draft, even though he has no chance of being selected, and hired an agent. Guard Kam Williams also entered his name but has not hired an agent. Class of 2018 4-star commit Darius Bazley decommitted, saying, “They didn’t even make the NIT.” (Yikes.) Point guard JaQuan Lyle allegedly punched a police car and is no longer with the team.

Ohio State could use help more than ever, but it keeps getting turned away. On Monday, ESPN’s John Goodman reported that grad transfer James Daniels chose Tennessee over Ohio State.

Daniel would have been a huge addition. The former Howard player missed all but two games last season, but in 2015-16 he led the nation in scoring.

He also would have been a great fit, which makes this tough to stomach for the Buckeyes. Ohio State might be in real trouble now with just two guards on the roster, one of whom will be a true freshman. That number could rise to three if Williams pulls his name out of the draft list by Wednesday, but it’s still nowhere close to the depth Ohio State wants.

Ohio State is down. Minnesota, Illinois, Northwestern, Michigan trending up.
