    Another to early poll.

    I love this poll. A former IU coach, followed by three teams from our region, followed by a former UK coach. College basketball is right back where it belongs in Indiana and Kentucky.

    Approximate pay for high major players per Jeff Goodman

    It's hard to be a college basketball fan, at least for me. I always rooted for the local and regional teams because they frequently featured local and regional kids. The sort of guys I could watch in high school and then root four as they moved up the line. First, the game turned into the pro...

    Wright to BYU

    Has the Big 12 permanently left the Big 10, ACC and Big East in the dust as the only real competition for the SEC in basketball?

    OT: My Red Devils have just won the Indiana state championship.

    All right, you want some pointless trivia? The team that Jeffersonville defeated in the state championship was Fisher's high school. They were ranked number eight in the country by Maxpreps even though they're a public school. The town Fishers is a suburb of Indianapolis with 104,000 residents...

    Why I’m Actively Rooting Against The SEC

    Ok. But 8 games in and only ARK has covered the spread.

    Why I’m Actively Rooting Against The SEC

    Does anybody remember the bracket busters games for mid-majors from 2003-2013? I think that needs to be brought back but for high majors. It was decided back in early December games that the SEC was so dominant that it ended up with 14 bids out of 16 teams. The result is the SEC is taking it...

    The Elephant in the Room: our NIL donations need to step it up.

    Remember 8-10 years ago, when they first started talking about getting money for the kids. We all thought that the schools with a big fan base, especially a national one would have the players clean up and clamor to come. I imagined how many jerseys John Wall could have sold. Then when announced...

    Aike’s Model vs. Kenpom

    I have a better idea. My then 7 year old grandson did two brackets in the backseat of my car as I was driving back from FL. He won over a $1000 in his dad's company and my wife's company pools. He pretty much picked chalk the whole way having PU and UConn in the final on both. Moral...chalk it...

    No panic here

    Six quad 1 wins. 2nd most in nation. And plenty more opportunities. 2 or 3 seed is likely even if 11-7 in conference.

    Cats better take care of Vandy

    I am an IU fan first, and we are celebrating a gift at OSU. So UK (and UL) have nothing to whine about. But I have to say this is the most enjoyable UK team I may have ever watched play and I am 68 years old. Bottom line, like you I love Pope. Wish we had him. The style reminds me of back when...

    Calipari played two top 10 picks, off the bench. And started future taco bell managers Justin Edwards & DJ Wagner

    Don't knock Taco Bell management jobs. I hear Davante Adams is opening a second location in his home. I just retired from forty years in IT. I may apply for the job.

    Anyone here into alternate history? How about these UK history "What If..."'s

    What if Schroedinger's cat was not in the box at all?

    Hopefully you are right.
