All the guys on here must really be jealous of that last bit of news.

Nope just the Brad Davison part!

I imagine Archie could follow him there.

Jeff Goodman just tweeted Josh Pastner as a possible next coach at Arizona.

You know, the Josh Pastner who learned everything he knows working under Calipari at Memphis.

Pastner would be a bold choice given his own off the court issues. I have to imagine that administration will look to someone with a clean record and no ties to cheating/scandals. No one knows what kinda job this will be once the NCAA is done with them

Christian Watford's brother @Trendon_2  declared for the NBA Draft today.

Wonder if he's expecting to eventually get a show cause?

That’s honestly what I was thinking too.

Pastner was a walk on at Arizona

I guess that would mean he's paid more to get other players to play basketball than anybody was willing to pay him to play.

They return arguably the best roster in the nation and a B1G POY candidate in Ivey.

They have unrealistic expectations of winning without cheating. 

Sounds like what people are saying about IU as well.  :(

But it’s the same roster that lost to North Texas.  Don’t get me wrong, they’ll be good, but I can’t see them being #1.

If they weren’t #1 then very few would have given the list a second thought and even fewer would have posted a reply. There are reasons certain “talking heads” go at this fan base.

Yea that happens. It's the NCAA Tourney. It's one game.

I see them as a top 5 team.  Could ge a top team.  Purdue historically has a hard time being the hunted and does a much better job being the hunter, so based on history I’ll knock them a few spots. 

no reason they shouldn’t be really good. Great recruiting class with some bonafide players.
