Anytime a coach preferences a story with “I probably shouldn’t be telling you this“ that’s a sign that he definitely shouldn’t be telling you this.

It’s almost impressive the way Payne continues to be willing to look like the dumbest man on earth in order to insure getting out of that deal and getting that check. That’s not as easy as it sounds and the dude is absolutely pulling it off.

I did not watch the second half of the Duke game figured Arkansas would blow them out.

UNC hit paydirt getting Ingram in the transfer portal. We would be top 15 with him on our roster.

He shot about 32% from 3 his first two seasons. I don’t know how you go about predicting a guy like that will go up to 45%+ on more attempts.

I agree but man he is killing it this year and looked very good last night vs TN.

He is. It’s onlya five game sample, but .485 from three on almost 5 attempts is legit. Every night it seems like a couple of top 25 teams fall to unranked teams, and I’d bet the transfer portal is a huge driver of that randomness. 
 

It’ll be interesting to see if some teams master the portal and consistently do well or if it remains a crapshoot.   
 

It’ll also be interesting if a team like Purdue who just decided to stand pat and develop their players is rewarded for that strategy.

Started watching Texas Tech and Butler. I was surprised to see Thad Matta as head coach.

Whatever  happened to him being at IU when Woody first came on board?

[tkbbn]

This is his 2nd year at butler.

 Butler just hit a 3 to go up 2 with 25 sec to go.   Texas Tech ball.   This a been a fun game

He worked a year with Woody at IU  and then got offered the Butler head coaching job.

Definitely. Butler has looked good. 

[str8baller]

Good game by Butler. Thad Matta may have a little gas in the tank after all.

Butler and Matta always seem to fit really well together.

I’m confused why Northwestern went with black and yellow uniforms at home versus Purdue

I'm not watching that game but I take it NW is getting homered at home?

No answer for Edy. They’re up 8 on NW at half

[DChoosier]

UCONN down 2 (38-36) @ Kansas  while only being 4-10 from the charity stripe

[IU - Kaulie]

Northwestern giving it to Purdue again.  All tied up.
