Geez, Thompson just waltzed to the paint and hit a 12 ft runner. Bo Ryan must be rolling in his grave...

Nevermind. The ghost of Bo just gifted the bulls***-iest of fouls.

Wisconsin is going to regret not opening up their coaching search to outside applicants.

They could have done a lot better than Greg Gard, and they're going to feel it.  All he did was win with Bo's players playing Bo's system, but now that most of those guys are trickling out, he's getting exposed.

Certainly starting to feel that way. I think their AD could have found a good replacement. Since the turn of the century I've viewed their athletic department as the complete opposite of ours. When they have to hire a coach for a mainstream sport, they usually get it right, and we usually get it wrong. It seems like every time we change coaches we end up talking about how the current coach has to clean up the mess his predecessor left behind.

Oh, and so much for WKU being a "good loss" for Purdue.

Didn't Ryan resign in the middle of the season? Wisconsin didn't have much choice at that point and Gard had the team finish strong that year if I remember correctly. Not much the AD could have done at the time.

Yes it was in the middle of season when he resigned can't remember what game it was.

I think Bo wanted Gard as his successor so the timing wasn’t accidental.

Well the reason he had to “retire” he could have avoided. Those extramarital affairs will turn around and bite you. Luckily for him he coached Wisconsin. Not as big of a news story as he thought.

BREAKING: Davon Dillard and Zack Dawson are off of the #OKState basketball team. In a release, Mike Boynton said they failed to meet the standards of Cowboy basketball.

Dillard had some IU interests a couple years ago. He played for Bowman Academy

From the NCAA on men's basketball transfers which has become almost an epidemic.  2 key points mentioned:

1)  40% of all MBB players who enter Division I directly out of high school depart their initial school by the end of their sophomore year.

2)  Generally, close to 90% of all MBB transfers say they leave for athletic reasons. Absent proper academic planning, many of these SAs lose credits upon transfer and register lower Academic Progress Rates (APRs) and graduation rates at their new schools than seen among non-transfers.

Mike Brey? Lol. Good coach and develops great college players but the "pros" that were listed as evidence were fairly laughable. Pat Connaughton is the only one still in the league and he's a backup.

About the only coach I agreed with on the list was Beilein. He has been consistent over the years. Most of the others had either high ranked players or players that are two way currently.

NCAA finally puts the hammer down on UNC for academic violations.

Get over your euphoria because it's not the University of No Classes but the University of Northern Colorado.  The cases aren't identical but IMO it reinforces that ol' Roy got away with grand larceny.

The training guy at work (a pUKe fan) put a pUKe calendar in the office of the site manager (IU fan).  So for payback I taped a picture of Laettner beating pUKe to his monitor.
