It's all about the pensions

It's been forever, but kids are willing to ride benches again so long as their pension is up to snuff.

Crazy they haven’t totally cleaned house. This guy was an assistsnt while the head coach was denying access to water, no?

They almost beat Seton Hall with the interim coach I saw.

On one hand, Xaivian Lee can definitely play at this level. Can easily separate, great passing, etc. But...so much clanking. 1-10 from 3 tonight, and missed an ill-advised off-balance three with two minutes left.

85-84 Mich in OT beats Wake

Man, Louisville is really good this year. Kentucky no match.

They are bombing threes and only turned ball over a few times, a lethal combination.

Boston College lost to Central Connecticut.

Their football and hoops programs have imploded. What a mess.

Turned it around- good one with 4 mins left

Delaware was giving BYU all they could handle (the Blue Hens were up by 6), but BYU has suddenly caught fire from deep and now pulling away, 70-57 under 8 minutes.

This year is the first year that really shows how much the cream rises to the top in the new portal and NIL era. Nearly every player is at the right level now. And the difference between the haves and have nots is as wider than it's ever been.

There are just so many really good teams this year. If you don't play your A+ game each game starting in the round of 32 this year you're going home.

This guy has been a total imbecile forever;

USC grad transfer wing Chad Baker-Mazara: "Hey, Coach, I stole Bruce Pearl's will to continue coaching. Does that count?"

Caught the last quarter and OT of Wake vs Michigan. What really stood out to me (other than that Cadeau is a classic PG) is how invisible Lendeborg was. Seemed that Dusty May saw what a mismatch Mara was for Wake but it came at the expense of Lendeborg. I'm sure he will figure that out.

Steve Forbes gets players but his teams play moron basketball. His PG cost them the game because he was absolutely convinced that at 6 foot tall or whatever he is he could score over 7'2" Mara. It did not work. Ever. Including on the last shot with a chance to win the game. Like Forbes, but cannot defend his tactical "skills."

Yaxel was not moving well for a lot of that game. Think he’s banged up. But small ball post may very well be his best spot.

No.

No.

You would if you were the one he shot at outside his home.
