    Florida won football and men's basketball titles in academic 2006-07. Oh, you mean winning all 6. Never mind.

    Iowa courting McCollum while Drake in the tournament. Minnesota courting Medved while Colorado State in the tournament. Virginia courting Odom while VCU in the tournament. NC State courting Wade while McNeese in the tournament. Baby Pitino might have a new job in the next 24 hours. Gotta wonder how that could have come about. Dusty May was hired by Michigan a day after FAU lost in the tournament last year. Todd Golden was hired by Florida the day after USF lost in 2022. Illinois hired Brad Underwood the day after Okie State lost in the 2017 tournament, and he got the job at Okie State the day after SFA lost in the 2016 tournament. It ain't nothing new.

    I saw that on the other thread, but I was wondering if Miller and Mark at least had a discussion about it.
  4. bierce
    Is the absence of Mark from the list of players Miller has contacted an indication Mark is definitely going elsewhere, Miller isn't interested in keeping him, or that nobody knows?

    Medved and McCollum getting hired today by Minn and Iowa. Nova, WVU, Xavier, Colorado State, UNLV, VCU, and Drake now looking.

    Get ready for the arms race. Louisville to spend $8-10M on transfers? https://www.si.com/fannation/name-image-likeness/nil-news/louisville-basketball-preparing-massive-spending-push-transfer-portal

    S16 now set with 7 SEC teams, 4 B1G teams, 4 Big 12 teams, and 1 ACC team. I'm not an SEC, SEC SEC sort, but this looks like the new paradigm. I wonder how long the Big 12 will be able to keep up.

    At first I thought that was going to be a joke about boxers.

    UNM couldn't keep up with Michigan State on the boards. Joseph fouled out with 2:12 to go. I think this one is done. Michigan State is a very good rebounding team. Mississippi is pants at it. Beard will need to get his guys focused on the glass in the next round.

    If they are, then either she has a magic vagina, or he is utterly f'ing insane. Or both, I suppose.

    She went along with the team to NYC when Texas lost to the only team in played with a pulse in Beard's truncated second season. Late game meltdown. She was said to have been a distraction of nightmare proportions on that trip. So Beard managed a first weekend here, a couple of preseason impressive home games, a turd on a neutral floor, and a trip to Travis County Detention facility. Not a great legacy in Austin.

    Amazing what a coach can do when he leaves his toxic mess of a girlfriend behind. Pity he didn't leave her in Lubbock.

    UNM getting worked badly on the boards but still hanging in there. Down 4 with 8:45 to go.

    We're off the train because we took a different one. ISU isn't the same without Gilbert. It isn't like Houston losing Shead, but Gilbert gets things done.

    Dumb. Pope was more efficient on offense for Texas than he was for Oregon State. He just had the ball a lot more for Oregon State, because Oregon State was lousy.

    Hell of a finish in the CSU Maryland game. CSU hit a three with about 10 second left to go up a point. MD brought it up, called timeout, and ran a play for Queen to drive from the elbow. He hit a banked runner at the buzzer to win it. CSU just couldn't handle Reese and Queen inside. They combined for 32 points and 17 rebounds.

    CSU/MD going to the wire. Tied with 45.7 seconds left, MD ball. UNM is playing very fast. Up 16-11 over MSU early. OleMissoleIssoleIppoleI is up 12 with a minute left in the first half.

    You and me both. I've been a huge Weaver fan since watching his play at UT-Arlington after learning we were adding him. I do think we believe his defense is better than it is and his offense is worse that it is. When he hits ft, he's a very efficient player on offense. He just didn't hit ft this year. Too many times on defense, he is behind on the first step. The rate at which he closes is pretty remarkable, but sometimes you just can't catch up after the first step. And like Junior Seau for the Chargers, he runs all over the field doing berserker stuff. Looks impressive, but can lead to breakdowns in the team D. But there is no guard in the country I would more want on defense after an opponent has put a shot up. Hellacious rebounder.

    I don't think either Weaver or Pope will settle for bench minutes next year. Weaver will want starting minutes in his final year, and Pope isn't about to take a step back.

    If Traore from Xavier follows Miller AND proves healthy enough to play, then he will be an option at the 5, and he might be a starter. I have some reservations about his ability to do much on offense at this level of competition, and he isn't a shot blocker, but he is a force on the glass. That said, I hope we find a better option.

    So now Xavier is open. Will it call former coach Chris Mack? Will it promote Adam Cohen? Promoting Mack worked. Promoting Travis Steele, not so much. If I'm Richard Pitino, I do not take the Xavier job. Roster is shredded, and the school will always struggle to overcome bigger, better funded schools in its own conference. The choice between Nova and Xavier, if Pitino gets that choice, is an easy choice to me. Medved looks like a lock to Minnesota, McCollum to Iowa.

    Miller already has first hand knowledge of what Pope and Weaver can do, so his first order of business with them is to tell them how he intends to use them or if they should look for other landing spots. He had some good things to say about Weaver during the game. He's had some guard combos in the past that weren't real big and in which neither was the primary distributor or shooter, so Pope could have a place, but I don't see him thinking a Pope/Weaver duo can get it done at this level when neither is a plus ball-handler and neither is a dead-eye from the arc.

    Is that top 15 based on 2024-25 outlays or estimated 2025-26 outlays, because something tells me that we won't be the only school upping our NIL for basketball by a 20-25%.

    I think he's a great coach with a pissy attitude and anger management issues. He had to replace 3 starters and the top 2 in bench minutes from the first championship team. That doesn't make it easy to repeat. Last back to back winner had the benefit of all 5 starters and all top 7 in minutes played returning for the second year.

    Two of them when the NIT was the bigger tournament.
