    Thanks pjhawks. Still on cloud 9.

    Wish I had seen that UNC play. I saw Twitter blow up about it, but haven't actually seen it.

    Not too surprising concerning Marshall's wife. She was a loose cannon when he was at Winthrop. I know of at least 2 fan bases in the Big South that had issues with her...probably more, they just didn't protest enough.

    Couldn't tell if the defender was set in order to draw the charge, shouldn't have mattered though since Berry definitely traveled.

    I've heard she's the reason SC didn't want to hire Marshall. Could just be gossip but looks like we dodged a bullet.

    I don't know about that. Everything I've heard was that Eric Hyman just didn't like him plus he was coming off a 12-20 first season at Wichita. So we went with the flash in the pan in Darrin Horn. When Horn got canned, Marshall had no intention of coming here unless we offered something like $4M a year. He was using us as leverage for a better contract with Wichita State.

    The one year I actually do well with my first round picks (got 28/32 correct), I fuck it up in the late rounds. Only got 9/16 in the second round, only have 4 of 8 left, 2 of 4, 1 of 2, and my champion. My East & Midwest are completely done.

    Maybe so but I still wouldn't want her as a representative of our University.

    If you look at his results across 2 schools with some built in limitations, you absolutely hire him if you can come up with the money -- I don't care who you are. You just tell him to keep his batshit crazy wife in check.

    That said, I am more than happy with Frank Martin as our coach and have been since day 1. The above is more for what other schools should do (possibly Indiana?).

    JT3 has been fired. Didn't think they'd do that with Big John still around.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    just saw that. Surprising at this time as i thought they would give him another year or two. the right move though. other than 1 final 4 appearance he has been really underwhelming there.

    games tonight should be great. Surprised Michigan is favored over Oregon. Really looking forward to Purdue-Kansas. Tomorrow's UCLA-Kentucky should be fantastic.
