Back on a basketball track...there are some super exciting games today (other than, of course, UC)
Really interested to see if Virginia can take down Duke at Cameron...if they do, I'm convinced they are the best team in the country
Also want to see Huggie's boys take down Ky & keep them out of the top 25
For our resume, pulling for Florida & Buffalo...& I guess Wichita, Houston & SMU, although the latter may be a lost cause.

MSU, Baylor, Louisville...all should be severely punished. How on earth these institutions athletic departments can be allowed to operate is amazing. I am willing to bet that Uconn gets harsher punishment than all three.
Any university that covers up sexual assault should be booted from their conferences and all scholarships revoked. The individuals covering up these serious crimes should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
This crap is insane and out of control.
Unfortunately, the NCAA does not exist to police sexual misconduct. It is the enforcement arm of a cartel dedicated to the principle of withholding compensation from the individuals who are primarily responsible for its revenue. So as long as you are not trying to pay a player, the NCAA doesn't care what you do - unless it becomes a PR nightmare. In those cases, they huff and puff a bit until it falls out of the news, and then it is back to business as usual.
As much as we would like to think this case will cause change, I doubt it will.

the weird thing is they likely had no place in messing with penn state over sandusky. it was likely out of their rules.
but MSU is not because the players were the ones doing the sexual assaulting (allegedly). This just seems like its going to burn a lot of people, and rightfully so.
Izzo was considered one of the good guys in the coaching ranks. Really makes you wonder.

Those refs were terrible. That Martin got a foul every single time he drove.
Ky beats west Virginia on some of the worse refereeing since the Cincy vs Memphis game. Called jump ball when ky player jumps in West Virginia guys back. How is it a jump ball if the ky player doesn't even touch the ball. Feel sorry for anyone playing ky.

West Virginia is way overrated.
They are a gimmick team with one good offensive player. if You beat the press, you beat them.

I agree they are overrated, konate is a monster also. Ky is also overrated, just seems like every game they are in they have the refs in there pocket. Some terrible calls at the end. Guess that's what happens when you can't score.West Virginia is way overrated.

Michigan state continues their struggles. Down 13 to Maryland at the half. Them losing could be the key to us making it into the top 5. At the very least 6th
so much swirling around that school, them playing distracted is not surprising at all.
down with all the teams fighting for a top 3 seed!

Yeah, can't make it any easier. They were struggling before that too though. They just haven't looked as good recently as they did in the beginning of the year. And yes exactly. Got some good loses in our favor this week lol.

I'd bet they had to give Huggins at least one sedative after his team blew a 17 point lead with 17 minutes in the game at home against Kentucky. To make matters worse they blew the entire lead in a 5 minute span. Not to mention they gave up 50 in the second half.

Found these on a WV message board. Sound familiar.
When was the last time WV had offensive talent recruited by Coach Huggins? The press was developed for the purposes of getting more possessions to offset the lack of offense, stated by coach himself.
I wish we could attack the basket on our half court sets. It just feels like we pass it around the three point line and the rest stand around. We just seem to be standing around hoping Carter nails a 3. Gotta be better with movement without the ball.

Xavier gets bailed out late against St. John's. Blueitt got a BS foul under the rim with a minute left in a tie game. He basically just jumped in the air and fell, not even a St Johns guy in the vicinity. Of course made both FTs and that was all she wrote.
