College Bball Thread

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

Ehh we lost by 30 to a program many people can't point to on a map. 

I all seriousness, what does it matter how small their campus is and whether or not fans can point to it on the map. It's not like they are boundaried small high school who can't recruit and have a very good team once in a great while. They can recruit and have done so very well and have become a very good ball club. They have been good for years. Yea, I'm not happy we lost, but being condescending to the other team is wrong.

B1G got 9 teams in so 

B1G gets 
9x339,000 = around 3 mil just for having 9 teams in    
 

IU won a game in the NCAA tournament and received another unit 

339,000

 

 

2 more units for the B1G  so far today

Sampson to LSU? That’s my guess.

Maybe, but why? He has an established culture in Houston. He went to a Final Four last year, so he's proven he can win big there. Everyone there likes him. Houston is about to join the Big12, a conference that he knows well. 

I have no inside knowledge. I'm just curious why he'd make that move. Is LSU offering a lot more money?

Would’ve never guessed this with Willard’s popularity. 
 

I should add…this comparison is made because Willard to Maryland is nearly confirmed and Holloway is the favorite to replace him.

Seems like a very.... Underwhelming hire.

He’s not a great guy.

I suppose he’s an okay coach.

Perfect for Maryland.

Sounding like Stu's favorite Dennis Gates could be headed to Missouri.

Interesting. Talked to a pretty smart guy on Thursday who had the Drinkwitz hire a week before it was announced and he was convinced Mizzou wouldn’t move on anyone until they could talk to Matt McMahon. But Gates would, of course, be a terrific hire.

Missouri = Gates

Maryland = Willard

Missouri > Maryland

Sampson would murder it at LSU. 

Yup, and he could literally murder someone at LSU and it’ll take them 3 yrs to do anything about it.

If true, pretty stunning in it’s lack of imagination and reach. Screams, “Yeah, we’re cool with a competent program.” A shame, that program has massive potential.

And he’s a flat out liar; outing his lack of integrity before he takes the Maryland job. How did he do this? When asked about the Maryland job by the media this was his response:

“I’ll give you exactly what I can tell you,” he said. “I have an agent who I haven’t talked to yet. I don’t know who he’s talking to, I have absolutely no idea. But when I get home tomorrow, I’ll talk to my agent and discuss things with my agent.”

The Under Armour founder (MD alum) left the company a couple years ago so the direct $$ funnel has diminished if not totally dried up.

Guess URI learned a lesson from us. Archie's buyout is $1 million. 

Saw another story saying IU saves $3M by Archie getting the new gig. Makes me wonder: Does that money go back to the boosters who picked up the tab, or does it go into some general fund -- athletic or otherwise?

“I don’t comment on my job status. Next question?” 
And coaches F it up all the time.

Instead? The first words out of his mouth are a lie.

I like that Woody won’t always comment, but I never feel like he’s lying.

Probably an under appreciated benefit of his NBA career is that Woody has been banged around by media and fans his entire career. Dude’s just not gonna take the bait. Most of these guys at that level are Nathan Jessup-types who are dying to say, “You’re g******ed right I did!” They can’t help themselves.
