I’m a little surprised that the rule book doesn’t say you can’t use an object to assist in a block.  

The rule book does not allow you to throw your shoe in an attempt to block but doesn't say anything about blocking it when your shoe is in your hand.

Which begs the question:  why couldn't a player just come out on the court with two shoes on his feet and two clown shoes in his hands on defense?

Well, you know, they were checking the rule book for the rule about a shoe and couldn’t find it

Is this the basketball equivalent of a baseball player throwing his glove in the air to knock down a fly ball as it sails over his head?

I think I would just go with big fake hands like Uncle Jack.

Spent the first 32 years of life not caring what anyone else's poop looked like. Christ

3-1 against Purdue as well.  I’m not sure what odds I would have given to be 3-1 against Purdue but 0-7 against Iowa and Northwestern but I know any takers would have ruined me financially

It’s crazy we have been in the tourney each of Woody’s 2 years while going 1-10 vs PSU, IA and NW !!

On the flip side the record against PU, MD, UM has been great. Go figure.

My goodness, that place will be a cavern of sadness.

Probably won’t be seeing anymore predictions from Slater anymore unless they are under a burner account.   He just signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder in their accounting department.   Very smart move.    He knows his stuff and is very plugged in.     Always thought a college program should of offered him a job and offered him a ton of money to where he couldn’t refuse it

Agree, the same way Shrewsberry did at Penn St with Brian Snow. Those guys have to know everybody.

Is he Trilly?  That was the leading candidate by many.

He made a joke about it in his blog today but says that he is not Slater.

It is kind of a go figure thing — probably more about matchups than coaching / schemes, but would be interesting to see a breakdown in some form.

Iowa and to an extent PSU have rained 3’s on us, which goes to Woodson’s and the team’s continuing struggles against the 3, but then UM…
