Woof a ~10:15pm start time is brutal

You see, Iowa State is in the Big 12 with Arizona, so you gotta have a PST starting time for the game, it's all very logical.

Hmm yes and Tennessee and Creighton two west coast teams, playing in noted west coast city Detroit. Silly me!

chalky results are kind of annoying, but honestly every game in the next round looks like it'll be fun as hell. at least until Purdue loses at which point no remaining games are fun at all ever

Hold on, I have it in my notes that Purdue losing is the funniest possible outcome, what does yours say?

WVU actually has a really good NIL situation.

The school's financial problems are primarily due to incompetence (E. Gordon Gee is a loving idiot).

I have never spent a single second of my life caring about NIL. How on earth does WVU fandom have any money to give players???

Cal and the AD will meet tomorrow. If I had to guess at this point, it really seems like he stays. This is based on nothing, I just don't think Barnhart will make a move unless he had a solid backup in place already, and there just hasn't been time for that. Sounds like changes may be required to keep him on. Whether Cal actually changes things, including some staff that apparently get paid to do nothing, is yet to be seen.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

The start times have not been silly this tournament. Arizona at 9:45 AM the other day is about as nonsensical as this.

I wonder if Arizona is still gonna have 9:00 PM regular season starts now. That was a TV network driven thing so probably.

I hope Gonzaga gets their win against Purdue after losing at the Maui Invitational. They're playing Good Ball so hopefully they keep it going.

The university suspended him, then Shannon filed a lawsuit and got a preliminary injunction from a federal judge against the suspension. The team immediately gave him starting minutes again.

I believe the next hearing is in mid May.

i would not have been mad if uk decided they needed to move on from cal. i think the absolute cost, the absence of a no-doubt type of hire, the likelihood that he could land anywhere else (even louisville) and be successful, and potentially some guys coming back that wouldn't with another coach was enough to justify keeping him here.

i do think calipari wants to retire at uk and leave behind a legacy as one of the modern greats among greats at one of the great schools. im optimistic that in whatever meetings it was crystal clear that it will ultimately be kentucky, not john calipari, that will decide if he retires at kentucky and results in the last four years won't allow him to do that, need to improve, and i sure as poo poo hope they do!

a sweet 16 with a likable team i think is enough to turn the temperature down enough he doesn't need to worry about it, but internally i bet the expectation, spoken or unspoken, is more than that. the more rabid subset of the fanbase will almost certainly be more vocal about it all season long, because of or in spite of results.

if they lose in the first or second round next year oh my god it will be bad. people will fight
