and great news!

Do these guys go through some sort of physical to qualify?

We were originally supposed to play St. Joe's and tentatively still supposed to play them next season. . . After a 1-14 start (their only win against Albany-which probably didn't help Will Brown's situation), the Hawks have now won 4 straight, with their A10 tourney opener againt La Salle. The stre...

We've talked about it before, but the concept of a single site tournament is a great one. It was a great part of the Vegas 16 concept-realized about 10 years too late, because the CBI and CIT were already well-established. I'd be for four different sites for each region, with The Final Four being t...

I was waiting for someone to attempt this false logic. Those states are also overlapping with the BIG12 and SEC who have completed top 8 most by % as seen it the graphic. The issue is program/school/conference funding and resources to keep up with testing protocols and such. I did put the schools a...

Some would say Izzo now has them playing dirty like the Pistons from the Bad Boys days. They certainly seemed to play overly physical and aggressive against the Illini when they broke Dosunmu's face. That to me is the officials fault for letting the game get way out of control. To me there is no do...

Honestly, the all-bench team probably would have challenged for 3rd/4th this year

Maybe even win it all. Those guys all have a motor and do all the little things to help a team win.

I believe you make your luck. MVC schools took Covid very serious and were successful. You also have to consider the states the teams are in and their infection rate. The SWAC schools and states they're in were a bit more lackadaisical on Covid. I was waiting for someone to attempt this false logic...

How bad is his ankle if he has to sit out a whole week+ or are they just not taking any chances? I'm hoping the later.

I'll consider it once they take that dumb foul call where a guy is defending you and jumps and the offensive guy then jumps at you to create contact and gets the call.

For sure. It’s something to have in the arsenal to use in case of emergency. In the NBA the floater it is a must have in your arsenal. They will take the rim away from you, play your three point shot until you prove you can hit that runner/floater and make them pay. The team defenses in the NBA are...

https://bradleybraves.boards.net/ I set this up in like 10 minutes. Don't mind maintaining something like this or similar if there's a time we need to move from PJS. That's great spoon. I like the name, colors, and format of that board too. I just registered, bookmarked, and created a member check ...

I would have said this before the incident. I'm not so sure now. He'll have to get a VISA and that may not be such a slam dunk. This is a fair point. But there are also pro circuits stateside. Depending on what, if any charges are brought and if they impact him directly, certainly complicates his s...

id like to see technicals on flops be a point of emphasis too.... think it would make actually calling the difficult call of charging easier....... i also wish they’d not allow coaches to call timeouts..... you aren’t in the game/ on the floor..... that should be players only . They don’t allow coa...

NIT making a couple changes to this year's tournament. Instead of the field of 32, there will be a field of 16 with games played in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metro area at the Comerica Center in Frisco and at UNT Coliseum in Denton. In addition, there will be no autobids this seasons with all 16 teams b...

Right, it doesn't count against their eligibility. They get the year regardless. But programs only get 13 scholarships total. Players on rosters this year are exempt from counting against that total-unless they change schools, in which case they count against the new school's 13. So it would not sh...

I just read a bunch of goobly goop about seniors and eligibility. I did not find anywhere where they mentioned that they need to stay at the same school. It just says that the NCAA is not counting this year as a year against their eligibility. Right, it doesn't count against their eligibility. They...

It does, you just don't hear about it. Especially in a situation where the firing school can save money if the coach finds another job right away. Nobody sends cash considerations to another school for hiring their basketball coach. No, but they can negotiate with said coach to pay a portion of wha...

I'm actually stunned Elijah made second team. :lol: I wasn't going to touch this because there's so many ways this could go. EC himself should feel extremely disappointed how he finished his college career. I wonder if he's cleared from the incident if he'll take a crack at another year someplace e...

Would Bruce Weber take Indiana State on the rebound? Weber could have a lot of success there, but they'd have to probably double their current overall budget. And probably triple their current salary for HC and assistants. I'm going to say NO. Why would he step down for a very hard job with very li...

Let's just see how Drake bounces back. They did play a ton of games prior to their loss. The problem will be can they get to Sunday down in St. Louis? If they do and play well and lose, I believe they'll get in. It is not like there's a bunch of really good teams this year. There are three teams IMO...

Does the Journal Star know or care about this forum anymore? We haven’t had a new member since November 30th. Are we not allowing new accounts now? Hard to believe it’s been over 3 months without a new member. I emailed Adam who oversees this and he has yet to respond. He hasn’t even logged in sinc...
