Michigan gonna hire Beard aren’t they? Please don’t let it happen.

UCLA might open earlier than anticipated. Then obviously Louisville.

3 big time jobs.

Michigan may get a jump on others if Howard resigns before the end of the year....and he might, citing 'health' reasons.

Ya they are gonna have to fire Juwan, no question but who the heck is gonna wanna coach that program. There are some heavy layers to how that program runs from the bottom up. They’ve let that guy get away with a lot

Money talks and Michigan has a lot of it. Hard to know but Football has done whatever it takes including cheating several ways to win. The admissions program hasn’t been helpful to basketball and NIL apparently isn’t as strong as you’d expect but that could turn around over night.

I think they will draw a big name.

How in the hell do you get outscored 40-21 in a half by Penn State?

Completely disconnected defensively.

Big Ten network should be lynched. We could be watching IU ladies play good basketball but instead watching crap basketball of mich and Penn st. It is easy to see why both programs have losing records.

I was annoyed with all of the fouling in the end by both teams.

Bill Plaschke takedown of Mick Cronin. Pretty reasonable take except for 2 things: 1) Talking about their large and sophisticated fan base. No. They haven’t consistently sold out Pauley since the 70’s. They have a lousy fanbase. Always have. 2) Completely pooh poohing their NIL situation, which Chip Kelly has also bitched about, despite the fact that it’s so notably substandard that Andy Enfield has actually made fun of it in interviews.  Cronin’s conduct has been pretty head-scratching this year. Something seems way, way off. Curious if he’s angling for the Louisville job

A ho-hum double digit victory for the Sycamores at one of the toughest road venues in the Valley.

15 made threes for ISU and 1 for N Iowa.   Isu didn’t even play that good.  Big one Wednesday at Drake.    Even though Drake just got drilled by over 30 at Belmont

God, Maryland-Minnesota is just objectively terrible.

12 Turnovers for Maryland with 5 min to go in first half and they are up 8

Are Minnesota’s guards really this awful? Nevertheless, it feels like Minnesota likes playing together which is a big plus versus Maryland, which looks miserable. I’m thinking Minny will win this one.

Also; it seems as though Jordan Geronimo starts but has no real role at Maryland.

They just flashed that Maryland is on a 8-0 run over 4 minutes. Sorry, but 8 points in 4 minutes is no run. 0 points in 4 minutes is a drought.

Condescending prick? Yup; that sounds exactly like Kevin Willard:
