I love all the assurances from ESPN that Duke will totally be ready to play in the NCAA Tournament. I've got more great news - Kentucky will also be ready to play in the NCAA Tournament!

Isn't Duke virtually guaranteed an NIT invite if they don't make the Tournament? Granted maybe they don't want to bother but that's a dumb thing to have to walk back either way.

Yeah I think they were just going to eat it and then Cade actually signed and they decided to go for it.

I still can't believe he dragged that team to a top 4 seed

Bad, very bad!
I had forgotten how funny Cuonzo Martin's contract is. I don't know that I really want to fire him anyway (there are some rather deranged and loud Mizzou fans who have been on this bandwagon all season), and since it's somehow become rare for this program to make the tournament this wouldn't be the season anyway. But now they flat out can't for another year. And realistically with that 6 million figure another 2 years.

Think this could be pretty good, having a coach with recent NBA experience seems like kind of an offensive cheat code right now with so many teams still stubbornly trying to run Bob Knight's playbook.

It's a really good hire, he and Greg Gary helped revamp Keady's motion offense a few years ago and it's been in or around the KenPom top 20 ever since. In timeouts he's the one drawing up plays and they've had really good success on baseline out of bound plays. As long as he can recruit he'll be a really good coach.

All it takes is one or two angry rich guys who care too much about basketball and they have lots of those.

They're gonna get themselves hilariously worked up about Brad Stevens again for no reason but hopefully when that fails they panic and do something really dumb. Beilein is probably the best case scenario unless they can chuck some obscene amount of money at chris beard or something.

He was good at Dayton

As always I believe now is the time for Indiana to right a decades old wrong and bring noted season on a brink character and ncaa champion steve alford home

(don't actually do this he is an awful person who doesn't deserve the money or satisfaction of getting the job and should only be allowed to coach in siberia if at all)

sure why not

His teams are at least good more often than not and just had a like top 3 iowa season of the last 40 years so it'd make sense either way, especially for barta, but I also wonder if they think notre dame is about to open up since I think he'd be a candidate there

Eastern Washington isn't the toughest draw they could've gotten in the first round (Kansas-Colgate would've been really intriguing) but they do score very efficiently inside and they clean up their own glass.

Was waiting for this. Think they wanted to keep him another year and save money and he was just way too bad to make it possible. Hoping they go the lazy/cheap route and just bring back TJ Otzelberger. He was a good recruiter for them but I don't think I'm that scared of him turning them into a power the way Hoiberg did. DeVries would also be a solid hire but I don't think he necessarily has a huge ceiling. If I were them I'd get Anthony Grant but hopefully they don't do that.
