Thanks so much for the report. I always find it interesting to see what unbiased outsiders think of our program.

If anyone who subscribes to D1 would care to summarize the article I would love to hear what they said (beyond the free first paragraph). Thanks.

Agreed it is ultimately on the AD to hold up the commitment he made to those young men. But I seriously doubt it was his idea to get rid of those 9 players. That had to have come from Primetime. The AD just didn't have the balls to say "No, I gave my word to these young men". So I doubt this...

Then shame on us. I don't care who does it. If these young men are not good enough for your school then don't offer them in the first place.

They were promised by the athletic director who is Sanders' boss that their scholarships would be honored.

Out here in Colorado there is a newspaper article tonight that Deion Sanders has already rescinded the scholarships of 9 different recruits. What makes it worse is those recruits were promised last week that their scholarships would be honored regardless of who would be named head coach. After...

I guess it can't hurt to try but I still think that lineup is problematic. We have a tough time scoring as it is and taking shooters away won't help. Coleman may only be hitting 33% now but he is a good enough shooter that he requires the defense to extend. I'm betting that is shooting % is much...

That lineup has only one outside shooter. As you said, defenses would be up tight on Kelly and the rest would be near the paint which would take away the drives by Moore and Smith. Defensively, the opposing team would spread us out and either kill us with three pointers or drive past us all day...

Pretty sure most of us would have taken a 7-2 record at this point before the season started. A lot of people thought we would be way down this year with the roster losses we had. It hasn't always been pretty but a win is a win. Very happy to see Nell expand her rotation to include players like...

Oops my bad I read the bracket wrong. My apologies to the committee. But I hope we make them look bad by making Marquette look like a 10 seed ;).

Makes you wonder if the committee even watches these teams that they are seeding. We played well today but Wright State looked more like a 10 seed than a 4. Doesn't seem like the committee gave much consideration to the level of competition they played. Anyway next game against Marquette in...

I assume you mean from the 3 point line because that wouldn't equate to 14.4 ppg. Sounds like most of his points are under the basket.

Unsung hero tonight for me was Ines Neguero. Her length allowed us to break the press better and I thought she played excellent defense. And she doesn't play like a freshman. Hit 2-3 on 3 pointers and drove hard to the basket. I thought she got found a couple of times but I really liked the...

I haven't seen him play. Is he hitting outside shots - because he was never able to do that consistently here. Or are they offensive rebound put backs and other low post scores?

Julia confirmed in her interview tonight that she is definitely turning pro and won't return In addition she is planning on playing in the next olympics for Brazil so her national team will be giving that a lot of attention. Hopefully she will graduate at the end of the semester and get that...

The charts proved your point rather well. And no sport is geared toward the nerd more than baseball. Evidenced by how much coaching is driven these days by statistics and analytics. You don't see spin rates in football or basketball! Look no further than the movie Moneyball. One of my all time...

We are going to need Rodney to play well this game. We may need to play him and Franklin on the floor together to keep from getting killed on the boards. Iowa's starting five go 6'4", 6'7", 6'8", 6'9" and 6'9".

I think you are probably correct. It is certainly most likely the case in Russ Chandler. Still it would be interesting to see if the spray charts support your supposition. That would probably be a better indicator than home run balls since that is much more dependent on the field dimensions. I...

Congrats to Bergman and Morrisette for making first team all ACC. Likewise to Moss, Damico and Bertolino for making second team. However Bergman got screwed for player of the year losing out to Chausse of Louisville. She's an excellent player but not close to as good as Julia. Put it this way...

I was really surprised that Georgia made it. The didn't look very good when we swept them. Also, the committee treats the Big 10 like football treats the SEC. Lots of highly ranked teams that have several losses because they beat up on each other.
