At this point, it’s almost easier to list the players that haven’t entered the portal

I pretty much assume any player could leave each year. And getting less and less interested in following HS recruiting. Just wait until the portalling is done and see what the roster looks like in August.

Is that just who you want or you really think we can get him?

Yes, I want him at Illinois.

We have our point guard.

So is UConn a blue blood now? 6 titles in 26 years, 3 different coaches.

I had already seen this movie.

I think UConn wins again but Purdue does have a chance. Eddy can get Clingan in foul trouble and Purdue can make some 3s. But they definitely have to play a lot better than they did last night.

I'm sure Gayle will start (6'4) along with one of Royal or Mahaffey (both 6'6)...

Couple that with Okpara, and that's a pretty solid start...

Mentioned it the other day:

Has to be an omen...

Also added AJ Storr... Good get for you..

 

I'll wait until someone with more than 300 followers validates it but they are in the mix.

Speaking of Dain Dainja...

 

Very much expected, just not a fit in the system now. Probably would have left last year but didn't have enough credits to graduate. Credit to him for being a good teammate and making some nice contributions down the stretch.

Illinois added another red headed shooter from Indiana as well, Jake Davis from Mercer. AAU teammate of DGL. 🤣

The Boilers can overlook NC St at their peril...

I am definitely looking forward to Eddie vs the plus size Dainja guy.

Congrats to the Boilers on their first final 4 in a long time. Going to be quite a battle vs UConn in the title game. Not sure I really want either team to win, but if Purdue does then at least we can stop having to hear about how bad the Big Ten is due to the Natty drought.

Went to both games at the Garden, nothing quite like being surrounded by UConn fans while your team gives up a 0-30 run. 🤮 Thursday was more fun but didn't get home until almost 2 am.

Gotta get there. But tourney really rewarded UConn and Purdue. Put them super close to home all the way to the final four…and gave them teams in their bracket that they’ve either beat before or matched up well with. It was a good draw for both. 

Yeah, that's the idea behind seeding the tournament, give the teams that have had the best season the best chance to advance.

When the time comes, IU better have TJ Otzelberger near the top of their list. He'd probably take this years IU team to the Final Four. 

Better have him hire an offensive coordinator. Woof.

Skyy Clark in the portal, IU needs guards right? 🤣

And you guys wanted to hire that piece of shit? Lol

Finally filling out brackets, and it's amazing how poor a job this committee did. The East has three teams I would have picked for the Final Four, all of them ranked in the top 5 on Torvik. Meanwhile Purdue gets an injured and down Kansas, Rick Barnes, and a Creighton team that lost four of its last five, getting blasted by Cincinnati.

Worst job by the committee in a long, long time. Virginia over Oklahoma or ISU along with a bunch of really strange seeding choices. Usually there's a couple minor complaints but this is just a travesty.

RIP Pac12

Refs making a mockery of this game. 2 straight calls that should have been no calls or on Edey.

TN getting worked

So after a lot of talking heads had Porter Moser going from Oklahoma to DePaul, it seems the Blue Demons are actually focused on Chris Holtmann...

 

Hard to imagine they could do much better.

You cant make this shiat up.

We have the same overall record as MSU

We have the same Quad 1 record as MSU.

We have a better Quad 2 record than MSU.

We own a head to head win over MSU.

We are 70 spots behind MSU in the NET.

I'm curious where Kansas will end up on the seed line. Will the committee give them the benefit of doubt...or will they take into account injuries and say this is what you are today?

Self says they will be back for the NCAAs. Because of course he's going to say that. Can the committee really do anything other than take him at his word? That would be pretty unprecedented.
