. John's
The Red Storm haven't won an NCAA Tournament game since 2000, but that could change in 2024. Rick Pitino's first season as St. John's head coach has bonafide expectations thanks to a massive recruiting haul that saw the Hall-of-Fame head coach bring in 12 new players.

A pair of Ivy League transfers --- Jordan Dingle (Penn) and Chris Ledlum (Harvard) --- headline an impressive recruiting class that also features former North Carolina commit Simeon Wilcher. 6-11 big man Joel Soriano (15.2 points, 11.9 rebounds) is the lone holdover of significance.

The Big East is a monster, but so is Pitino. St. John's has the requisites to be a single-digit seed in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.

Degree aside its more a 27 year old going head to head with 18 yr old's on a nightly basis. I mean college is now becoming a professional league so will more guys over the side of 25 years old think I can make a few bucks in college. Not trying to be a purist but it just doesn't sit well with me.

Unless Williams is planning of working on his thesis and apply for a full time professor position.

Moose, we crossed the Rubicon some time ago. This is now and has been professional sports with some different…”rules”? We are going to see a lot of these things that we never saw before. Over time it will not be for everyone. Personally, at least for now, I am just taking it as it comes.
 
Radford playing the Tar Heels tough as UNC is up by 5 at the half (46-41). Radford was leading through a good portion of the first half before UNC scored the last eight points of half.
 
Lol Rutgers lost to Princeton and Seton Hall losing to St. Peter's. There are always upsets, let's hope I am not eating that lol because we lost...
