    STH survey

    A) I don't expect much from any survey developed on Google. B) I'm not totally with you, PS, but I'm close. Show me a generally futile market survey, and I'll show you the single question that they really cared about. In this case, I thought it was the question about ticket prices. C) The...

    STH survey

    I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on the questions NU asked. I was a bit puzzled by the question about the "benefits" (I think that was the word) NU offers STHers. Maybe I'm missing something. But outside the Wilson Club, we pay for tickets and we get better seats. That's the only...

    Portal update

    I'll be interested to see how the cash flows with a .500 team that's 6-14 in the league. At some point, you know the faculty will start stomping their feet.

    Portal update

    I heard $500K for Boo also from a pretty decent source. At the time, I was pretty surprised that NU actually pulled out the wallet. I also heard Chase was offered significantly less. Another surprise, but it also explained why he left so quickly and quietly. I believe returning players made a...

    Observations on a Tuesday night

    The Braden Smith love is out of control. I like Robbie Hummel a lot, but he's also an admitted Purdue homer ... and somewhat understandably so. He's been a PR machine for Smith all year. Please, let's hear one more time how Smith was left off the Bob Cousy list. Is Smith the kind of player...

    Roster in review and the future

    I don't know if I agree there's no depth 2-4. If you want to say there's no experienced depth, I can buy that. But there's a ton of options at 2-3 - BrooksB @ 6-6, NM @ 6-7, TB @ 6-2, BS @ 6-6, JM @ 6-6, BlakeB @ 6-7, PS @ 6-3, AC @ 6-5. One of those guys HAS to be able to fill in some minutes...

    Refs

    That sure was a whole lot of two-handed push offs. But to be reasonable to the refs, the whole tournament has been been called more loosely. To the NCAA, please don't turn the game into the NBA and change the direction on a whim or market survey.

    Game was over when Nicholson Broke his foot

    The team did an incredible job to get to this point with those injuries.

    Rooting for the BIG Ten Brothers

    I'd really like to see Purdue do well for Painter. Illinois ... not so much for so many reasons. But I'm feeling better about the conference in general ... so far.

    If we don't get in

    I read an article the other day that said more schools are dealing NIT bids so they can start re-recruiting their own guys and working the portal. I need a little more time in the new basketball world to decide if that makes sense.

    Win or Lose - THANK YOU

    I'm still getting over the unrealized potential of Eschmeyer and Rankin with that group. But it was still a fun season.

    Slightly OT - DePaul Hiring Holtmann

    And how many of us are college basketball fans today because of those teams?!?! I'd love to still care about Billy Blue, but times and arenas change. Poor DePaul. They've done such a poor job of taking care of that legacy. Grade-school me always wants DePaul to be relevant again. I wish them...

    It’s time to move on from Collins

    I didn't read this history. I find the whole thing kind of funny. The ENTIRE board was DEAD wrong - me included. Nearly all of us - ALL OF US - were in "what's next" mode. All of us except SDGordie. God love ya, man. Nothing wrong with some faith and loyalty. I'm glad so many of us were so...

    Collins will be getting lots of calls

    You're right. Your comparison that kicked off things was very reasonable. Saying it was critical was a poor characterization on my part. But that doesn't change the oddity of many of the responses.

    Collins will be getting lots of calls

    The loyalty to Carmody is the oddest thing I've ever seen in my sports fandom ... any sport. Maybe the Bob Knight protests top it, but he actually won ... you know, multiple championships. Here we are in the middle of an incredible run, somebody says something critical about a pretty mediocre...

    2023-24 All-Big Ten Basketball Teams

    The campaigning for Smith was a little silly.

    Collins will be getting lots of calls

    If Collins didn't go anywhere last year, my guess is he's here for an even longer haul. After that great '22-'23 season and that garbage from Gragg, I wouldn't blame him a bit if he jumped. There were some pretty decent gigs available last year that would play into CC's wheel house - Cal...

    I have to feel that this is CCCs best coaching job.

    And they did it with that group of centers and the next tallest guy at 6-6 or 6-7.

    Heck yes

    No lie!!! How often have these guys slayed the NU dragon? There's so many things I can point to where past teams would have curled up in a ball. But these guys obviously jave a different mindset. They've overcome key injuries and so much more. Really an incredible season for this group.
