yeah, I'd take him as a grad transfer in a New York minute. He actually had a rough game tonight though. PG Harvey carried them.

No kidding! That kid killed us.

Dear Venky---please tell us you want to finish up your college education at a nationally acclaimed business school and that your two favorite colors are Cream and Crimson!

 

What you THINKY VENKY?  :biggrin:

4th ranked Zags hold on to beat Pepperdine 78-76.

 

Wiltjer had 24 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block.

 

Not bad for someone who just basically sit the bench for UK!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

8th ranked Utah beats ASU 76-59.

 

They move to 14-2.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

With their win tonight----the Zags go to 17-1.

 

I don't know what to make of them yet.  Sometimes they look great---sometimes average.

 

I have a natural west coast bias as imo the teams are overrated and flame out early in the NCAA tourney---Gonzaga has the talent to make me reconsider that assumption this year about them.

They do have a history of early exits even with high seeds but this team looks pretty good.

Wiltjer is a player and looks to be a good kid too.

They have one of the most talented squads that Gonzaga has ever had this year. Wiltjer is a beast down low and his backup is Arvydas Sabonis' son Domantas. He is a freshman and has looked great. I wish we could tap into some of that European talent. IU has never had too much luck in that department but several big schools are starting to

And in other news, Tyler Haws from BYU is also a beast

LaDontae Henton is a player too!

Heard SMU is now under investigation for academic improprieties.

 

Trouble seems to follow Larry Brown.

 

He got out of Kansas after winning it all and they were put on probation for 2 years afterward for things that happened on his watch.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Wonder if SMU was using the same "paper courses" as UNC?  :scratchhead:

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

As much as I am not an SMU fan----if they get hammered for academic issues and UNC goes scot-free-----the NCAA should just be dissolved because they are useless.

 

They pick and choose who they want to punish and what sanction to recommend.

 

It's ridiculous!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Oh I can hear the NCAA now-----"But poor Roy didn't know anything about what was going on!"

 

Right!  :no2:

If UNC gets hammered the NCAA loses money, a lot of it. If SMU gets hammered they might lose a little money but no big deal. In a business world who would you hammer?

Yeah----the way of the world.

 

It always seems to come down to money! :angry:

Come on NCAA---how about doing the RIGHT THING for a change! :good:
