He certainly was never going to be a squared away college kid. Probably better off for him that he get overseas and try to salvage a few years of a pro career.

And put as much distance as possible between he and momma.

Seeing some separation from the best, the better, and the others. Great conference. Indiana will be lucky to finish 7-8th. 9-11th seems much more likely.

Seems like Iowa, Illinois, Rutgers, Wisconsin, and Michigan are the front runners in the B1G.

Nebraska is the surest thing in the conference—they are awful and the only team in a tier by themselves.

Sounds crazy, but a few weeks in I believe that every other team could finish as high as sixth and as low as 13th.

Caveat: if Garza or Cockburn gets injured Iowa (especially) and Illinois (slightly less so) would fall a lot. Rutgers, Wisconsin and Michigan are much less dependent on any individual player than Iowa or Illinois.

Do current plans still call for 65/65 teams?

Hopefully they change it to limited attendance

NCAA should consider Menards, Lowe’s or Walmart as a host. All kinds of people could attend then.

Can you imagine Tom Crean or Kelvin Sampson leading their teams into Assembly Hall for an NCAA tournament game...yikes

Couple of more tidbits from today's announcement by the NCAA.

Quinn Buckner is a co-chair of the Indianapolis Final Four organizing committee.

Jeff Borzello:  In both the official announcement and on this Zoom press conference with NCAA officials, there have been multiple references to 68 teams and 67 games. There's no sign the NCAA wants to reduce the field from 68 teams for this season's NCAA tournament.

NCAA VP Dave Gavitt:    Family members can attend games. Decision on general fan attendance will be made at a later date in concert with local health officials. So nothing firm on fans yet.

One report indicated SSAH and Mackey would be used only for first round games.

The door is very much open for general attendance if we can somehow get a grip on this thing before March. This pleases me.
