I missed the news that Iowa State had fired Steve Prohm -- but after a 2-22 season (0-18 in the Big 12), that's hardly surprising. He has a $5 million buyout, while the athletic department is facing a $25 million shortfall thanks to COVID. When addressing how the school is able to pay the buyout, this is what the AD said: 

“Something I've heard out there, that there (was) a donor or were donors who stepped up and said ‘we’ll pay the buyout,’ that did not happen,” Jamie Pollard said. “I don't want that to ever happen at Iowa State. I think that sends a horrible message about how the program is led and managed.”

Hmmm ... a not-so-subtle jab at IU and Scott Dolson? 

Hey Jamie, you know what else sends a terrible message? Forking out 5 mil to buy out a failed coach and covering it by cutting back on services or staff. Maybe getting that 5 mil from someone who could light it on fire without missing it isn’t such a terrible idea. Or, if you want to be a super principled beacon to your colleagues, maybe you don’t fire the Coach. Otherwise, just punt that self-righteousness, please.

$5 million from taxpayer dollars, to boot.

Whoa, Lon Kruger just announced that De'Vion Harmon, Oklahoma's second-leading scorer won't play in the first two rounds after testing positive for COVID.

Nc State , ole Miss and Mississippi St is in it.  Memphis as well 

[Uspshoosier]

Kentucky freshman big man Isaiah Jackson has declared for the NBA Draft, but has not closed the door regarding returning to college. Intriguing prospect with upside.

Other.   Golden was playing the last week with a broken finger.   Crazy watching him basically playing 1 handed in the A-10 tourney 

[Uspshoosier]

Richmond up 1 with 8 min to go

I'm waaaay late in realizing, apologies if it's been discussed somewhere.  Why is the tournament Friday - Monday this year when it's always been Thursday - Sunday?  

[TheWatShot]

So Richmond is in the NIT...remember when they got ranked after beating UK, because people thought UK was actually good?

They wanted to give teams extra time to clear protocols.   They moved all the first 4 games to Thursday.   They normally start Tuesday and Wednesday.   That pushed everything back

Richmond wins it
