Penn St. suckin' tonight thus far.

Michigan State doing what they do.  Win enough games late to get off the bubble.

Mercy is going to win it.    Mississippi Vallry St you are on the clock.   Last winless team

Why must you be a disgrace to the name "Indiana University", IUPUI?

[LamarCheeks 19,433]

Auburn taking South Carolina to the woodshed: 78-50 with about 8 minutes to play. 

Scratch Lamont Paris off the O$U list!

Jerry Rice will deliver a pep talk to snap them out of it!

As my pUKe friend from work said after our game with Auburn, its either a buzzsaw or not with them, and it is not predictable which Auburn team will show up on any given night.

Sadly I could see it. Ware and Walker both gone, so they'll likely want at least one portal big, 2 if they miss on Queen, for the way they've shown they want to play.

Would absolutely love to land Okpara. He is an extremely active rim protector that doesn't need the ball to be effective. The kind of big Baylor, Tennessee, Auburn have real success with.

Given a choice between Thornton and Okpara? My answer would be "yes please."

I keep noticing on all the Ohio State lists He Who Must Not Be Named is never listed.  You know, coach facial hair.

This is an interesting read.

Chris Holtmann's path to Ohio State dismissal showed the danger of players getting too good, too fast (msn.com)

"Between 2010 and 2019, there were 39 one-and-done players selected in the first round of the NBA Draft without having won an NCAA Tournament game during their college seasons. The coaches of 27 of those players were fired, forced out, or left under pressure within five years, including Final Four veterans Rick Barnes at Texas, Ben Howland at UCLA, and Tom Crean at Indiana.

Six of those one-and-dones played for Hall of Famers who could endure beyond such disappointment: Mike Krzyzewski, John Calipari, Jim Calhoun, and Jim Boeheim. This means for those coaches who weren’t enshrined in Springfield, there was an 82 percent chance signing such a player and seeing him enter the draft without going all Greg Oden on the world was like lining up to collect unemployment — or a multi-million-dollar buyout, anyway."

 

Get old, stay old.

That's because it's a realistic list. He's toxic.

Maybe his PR guy who was on here (I think he got a time our or permanently banned since he hasn't been posting 500 times per day?) can go to OSU boards and stump for him there.
