C-USA is gonna rig their conference schedule next year so that the top teams in the conference after 14 games play each other in the final 4 games in order to improve their RPI/KP/etc. in order to get multiple bids in next years tourney.

Oh agree completely just pointing out Alford is a liar 

It's a shame, but Steve's ego swallowed him up years ago. I do remember years ago when Steve had his camps at Franklin College we had just dropped off my oldest son and we were getting ready to leave and there's Steve sitting on a table. My wife and I had a 30 minute chat with him. Very down to earth at that time. On a side note, one of the camp counselors was Pierre Pierce.

Not a bad plan.

I like it.  I wouldn't mind a top/bottom tier for some of the tweener conferences.  It might help them to get more teams in and be slightly more competitive.  It would be fun for the Big Ten but they'd never go for it.

Edwards is returning to PU.

Ward is returning to MSU

Moss is returning to Iowa

Big Ten will have a lot of parity next year again.

No word on Ethan Happ yet.

Im a bit surprised on Edwards not sure how he can improve his stock by coming back.

BOOOO!

 

Travis will transfer from Stanford, according to Evan Daniels of 247 Sports. Daniels reports Kentucky is the “strong favorite” to land Travis, though he notes it isn’t a done deal yet. Villanova is also involved, according to ESPN’s Jeff Goodman.

This is a potentially huge move that could make Kentucky the national title favorites if a few other things fall their way.

Huber’s event is tonight. I know Archie and Tom Allen will be there.

Grab one of these:

Wonder why all the done deal, Kentucky talk?

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Hmm.  Playing around with an extra scholarship even though we have 13?  Is this for sure?  

[Brass Cannon]

How does Travis have eligibility left?  Hes played in 20% of his teams games 4 straight years?

Sounds like he doesn't want to wait for us and will end up at UK

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Happ returning to Wisconsin.
