    Ncaa president "the goal is to have 72 to 76 teams by 2026 in the ncaa tournament "

    I don’t know all the whining is about. 72 only adds 4 teams. Now you have 8 games on Tuesday and Wednesday. More games with meaning and high leverage is always good. No big deal, either add an afternoon session or two new sites. The unintended consequence will be pulling 4 more marginal teams...

    Reed is Forgiven in My Eyes

    His heart is in the right place. I am not so sure where his head was.

    Aly Khalifa Ineligible Rumor; Louisville Fan Thinks Mark Pope is Behind It

    It wasn’t a blanket waiver. It was for athletes whose season was impacted by the COVID pandemic. He wasn’t impacted by the pandemic because he wasn’t eligible to play anyway.

    Aly Khalifa Ineligible Rumor; Louisville Fan Thinks Mark Pope is Behind It

    They have all the evidence they need. He enrolled at UNCC in 2020, became a scholarship student athlete and took a redshirt year because he was academically ineligible. If he didn’t want to start his 5 to play 4 clock, he could have enrolled in a prep school to get eligible.

    Aly Khalifa Ineligible Rumor; Louisville Fan Thinks Mark Pope is Behind It

    Supposedly the reason his medical redshirt request was denied was because UL filed for it while the season was still ongoing. I thought everyone knew you had to wait until the season is over before filing. My understanding is you only get to “reset the clock”, (getting more than 5 to play 4)...

    Saturday night games

    Did Ian Eagle as he was slurping on Scheyer just say that nobody had ever won a championship as a coach and a player at the same school. Somebody inform him of Joe B. Hall.

    I’m sorry, didn’t mean to. I needed to be more obvious I was being facetious.

    UL

    Bubba’s sidekick kept mentioning WAB (wins above bubble). UL had 2 both Clemson. There must have been a qualitative aspect because they valued Clemson’s one win over Duke more than their 2 losses to UL. The ACC was a dog crap conference. The bottom half were mid major quality. A sense of...

    Did Reed Sheppard lose his “Lifetime Y” card?

    I’m older and colder so I’m going with Bo Lanter and Jarred Polson. In the NBA he’s going to be fine, make a lot of money and depending on who he ends up playing with, he may win something.

    Reed, TyTy, Toppin, Hagans, Mintz Should Never Be Allowed Back Here

    When Cal was here, he sold all the players that his job was to get them a job playing in the NBA. All the top tier guys that are established in the league have figured out that they were going to be there anyway and that Cal is a well meaning snake oil salesman who did help, but so did a lot of...

    Chandler is not good enough

    Chandler is a long play. He’ll be 21 next week. The player we want is the 25 year old senior. When he got here he looked painfully thin and not basketball fit. He appears to have added weight but not necessarily all good weight. He definitely needs some time to catch up on strength and...
