    Looks like Calipari is headed to Arkansas.  Who goes to Kentucky? Hurley, Nate Oats?  Doubt Hurly goes so I think it's gonna end up being Oats.
    I HOPE it's not Hurley.

    Either way Hurley is going to get a huge raise. Either by going to Kentucky or UConn keeping him around.

    Scott Drew is another name. I think it ends up as Oats or Drew.

    slow sports night…

    watching the big sky tourney from boise, ID. the court says “starch madness.” get it? idaho, potatoes, etc. :lol:

    the real deal is right around the corner. can’t say there’s anyone I’m pulling for but plenty I’ll be rooting against….usually due to coaches I don’t like.

    And who are those coaches?

    pretty deep field of teams at the top this year.

    hmmmm….pitino, rick barnes, kelvin sampson, mark pope (and his successor at BYU). probably cal, too.

    Good list.  Can’t argue with them other than Pope but I get why you dislike him.  I’d add Hurley, Todd  Golden, Chris Beard and Sean Miller

    I just kinda realized the big matchup between the UCLA and USC women was for the BIG TEN championship.

    ridiculous.

    It took me about 20 years to adjust to Penn State being in the Big 10.

    something about this field is kinda “meh” to me. maybe it’s all the SEC. maybe it’s because outside of cooper flagging, all the players are pretty much anonymous.

    oh well. let’s get some upsets and make this thing interesting. unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be happy no matter who wins….it’s gonna be some school with lots of NIL $$$.
