My hope is if they lose league may consider a different style of play but I doubt it.

My concern is how it effects recruiting if the Big continues to suck it up in the big dance

This is it.  
 

Most fans don’t watch a ton of games out of the B1G. There are games in the SEC and B12 that are absolutely as physical or more than the B1G. ACC and P10 are generally pretty soft, imo.    
 

Football or basketball, it doesn’t matter…the B1G loses because we’re at a serious talent deficit. For that reason I generally root for the conf on the national stage.

Is a blank check with a perpetual contract enough to stay with Penn State basketball?

Probably good enough to keep him from going to Georgetown but when better jobs is offered to him it won't be.

Hopefully note dame will open the checkbook for him and get him out of the big ten.

Louisville recruiting has been on a roll this week.   '24 5-star Trentyn Flowers committed today and will re-class to '23.

Is being in the same state any better? He strikes me as a problem for other programs

“Nil” money being put to use. Let’s see how it pans out.

Just thought I'd note here that I had FDU #313 out of 363 teams in my final computer rankings.  As far as I can find, they are my lowest ranked team that's ever played in the tournament.

Well done. I almost (but not really) felt bad for them when the color guy was yelling "they are afraid to shoot!" And was clearly right. They choked as only Purdoo could.

#299 in Pom.  #301 in NET.  They were the second lowest rated team in the tournament on my WAR at -12.58....which means my estimate was they needed to win 13 more games than they did to be considered for an at large bid -- or with their schedule, would have needed to be 31-2.  Their schedule was that weak.

I'm rarely one to gripe about uniform colors and wardrobes, but there should be a rule preventing players from wearing shoes that completely clash with their school's primary colors.

Some of these shoes are God awful, I'm not sure how someone at Nike signs off on the design.

Pink, purple/lime green on shoes rarely looks good.  So tacky.

Rant over.
