and Jordan Ivey of Purdue might go ahead of all of them in the NBA draft. Really liking Keegan Murray of Iowa what a smooth shooter. Wouldn't mind Knicks getting Murray but with their luck they would probably mistakenly draft his twin brother and teammate Chris.

St Bonaventure beat Virginia tonight for their third straight win in the NIT tournament. They have now defeated Colorado, Oklahoma and Virginia (all on the road) to make it MSG for the semi finals.

Mark Schmidt is one heck of a coach!!! High major schools looking for a new coach ought to take a long look at him.

And has a couple of good players due a fifth year to bring with him if this is the year he takes another job.
 
Adidas is opening its NIL network to every college athlete at an Adidas-partnered NCAA DI university.

The wide-sweeping NIL network is the first among major sports brands.

More than 50,000 athletes across 23 sports and 109 schools can become paid Adidas ambassadors.

Weren't the Bonnies a pre-season Top 25 team?  Man, if Mark Schmidt were our coach and he had this kind of season in light of the expectations, many on this Board would be calling for his head.

1. UMass has offered Schmidt $1.8 M/year to be their new coach. The Bonnies are desperate to keep him and have found the funds to match the offer. Sounds like he's a highly sought after commodity to me.

2. We were picked fourth in the preseason Big East poll, which would have put us in the NCAA tournament. Not only did we not make the NCAA but we weren't even in the NIT. Yet, I don't see many people on this board calling for CMA's head.

This is quite interesting in that this could force all other sneaker companies to do the same and the players would be able to get the shoe money similar but not to the extent of the amounts as reaped by to pros.

Mark Redman must be visiting a different board than me.
I actually feel like it's a very angry and vocal minority. But there are a lot of guys who would be silently OK with a change.
