    Zakai Zeigler sues NCAA, seeking another year of eligibility.

    Thats 100% correct, I mistated. Hopefully this will get thrown out. Either way, the system is broke when a coach can earn $3-5 M a year, college freshmen can pull $500K - $2M a year, the entire landscape is complete free agency for everyone AND the athletic depts are tax exempt and almost...

    Booogie Fland to Florida is official

    Playing 2 PG is great, unless neither one of them can make threes.

    Matt Jones's opinion on Jasper

    We had guys come off the bench last season (before the injuries) that I never thought would have accepted it. But we heard no grumbling. Obviously, everybody wants to play. The key is how the team handles it. On that issue, I have to give Pope high marks. So we'll see how he does with this...

    Zakai Zeigler sues NCAA, seeking another year of eligibility.

    There were some footballers that sued for extra years and won. I believe the difference was they played a year or two at the FCS level. So the judge basically said those years don't count. The couple of players that have tried this before have all lost. But the timing might be right. The NCAA...

    All signs indicate we will get a Pat Travers update tonight

    Money is a big factor in the free agency era of the NCAA.

    Oscar Tshiebwe

    None of these teams are scouting to stop Oscar right now because these are mostly mop up minutes. Things will get harder him the more minutes he plays and impacts games. NBA players are athletic freaks, like Oscar. But it becomes very hard if you're a one trick pony. I love Oscar and it would...

    Jay Williams

    Duke hatred is just as good for ESPN as Duke love. Because it puts eyeballs on the screen.

    gwath probably down to 3

    I wasn't overly impressed with the little I saw of him this year. Even less so after his injury. He is 7ft. He can make some threes. Other than that, he is every other 7ft project out there.

    SOT: Cassidy Rowe leaving Kentucky WBB; ending basketball career.

    I hate to see this too, but with the new transfer roles, etc. it comes as a package deal. Coach has a primary job, winning. Keeping a SR that he inherited but really wants to recruit over COULD cost him a recruit. And at the end of the day, its his team. We accepted transfers, some of them SRs...

    I think our LONG lineup gave the Vols fits tonight on defense!!

    TN couldn't throw it in the ocean. ESPN stat said 73% of their shots were uncontested and they shot miserably. Their mistake was jacking up 45 threes. They should have been taking it to the hole and beating us up like everyone else. We got a gift.

    Pope working miracles

    Tonight was great. I think highly of Barnes but I don't know where his his was tonight. Tennessee has to know they have 1 great shooter, yet they jack up 45 threes against an undermanned UK team. No doubt they were emotionally a bit flat after the Auburn loss, but all the more reason to pound...

    Say what you want about Rick Barnes...

    I loved him at Clemson because he was a pain in Duke & UNC'S side.

    UF's Golden cleared, case closed

    I just read the initial story when this came out in the fall. There were several women. The story was very specific about what he said and did. Obviously the Univ. has decided there isn't evidence. But I bet he doesnt sue after the season either. Why? Pulled this out of the Alligator Article...

    UF's Golden cleared, case closed

    So the Univ. of Fla cleared its 2nd highest paid employee of Title IX Infractions? Does that mean he didn't do it or they are guilty of Title IX Infractions? I haven't followed that closely, but I don't see how this concludes if he's a creep or not. Did the police look into this? Did she ask...

    Not ideal but...

    TN has 1 great shooter. If we can play zone AND check Lanier somehow it would help. But few tesms rebound well out of zones, particularly teams that don't feature zone a lot. I wish TN would have upset Auburn, we might have caught some hangover. But didn't happen. Somebody is going to have to...
