And I am wondering to myself..... how did IU beat the Terps this week ? Teams are so inconsistent because MSU killed us and we beat Maryland. I guess it depends if you are playing at home or on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even IU, for that matter. In the case of MSU, they still have a half to pull it out. However, I am wondering how heavily the actions on campus this past weekend have to do with their issues in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson was nowhere near the level of this scandal. But the fans and team rallied behind him. Until the administration took care of it. Hopefully MSU does the same.

Sparty isn't going to derail a Final 4 team like we did. Or Louisville or whomever else not named IU that would decide February was a good time to explode a Final 4 team.

Agree that he has done a pretty good job, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Nebraska went into the Kohl Center and came out with a W. They have solidly positioned themselves right there next to Michigan. I think our best case scenario is 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several started coming out over the weekend saying Chris Mack is almost a lock for Louisville job after this season. There has been some discussion on Louisville radio about Chris Mack. I did not hear anything specific over the weekend, but last week that consensus was that Mack probably would NOT take the job. Xavier has positioned itself as a consistent Top 20 program> It may not have Louisville's history, but it's arguably an equal, or even better, program today. Louisville has a huge unknown in with the upcoming sanctions. Would any coach of Mack's stature be committed to giving up essentially 2-3 years of their career rebuilding. The Big East may not have the prestige of the ACC, but it is a darn good basketball conference. Overall, if you are a top coach, I think the Big East offers an equal or better opportunity for high tournament seeds than the ACC does. The one thing Louisville can likely offer that Xavier can't is money. But, even then, UL's coffers will not be as flush as they were before all of these scandals. The new administration may not be able to throw around the kind of cash the old one did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that were talking all the distance in the world but Chris Mack has often said how much his wife (former hoops star, Miss Kentucky runner up) has done for her, given up for her,etc.....that it wouldn't surprise me if going home to Louisville for his wife wins out.

That is exactly what a lot of Cards fans are saying on other sites. His wife. I agree with what fouls said above concerning the Big East. But money talks and I just have the feeling that the coaches in that conference are gonna start getting pillaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
