It's good to see someone stick up for Mayer. I don't think he was ever "the problem." He was eccentric, yes, but at the center of the issues, no, in my opinion.

Just what I've been thinking. If everyone is "on" at the same time, watch out.

Thanks for sharing this. I used to live on Maui so this touches me personally. I attended multiple Maui Invitationals. Besides the high quality basketball on a small court, the proximity to the players and coaches was great. I remember walking down the main street carrying on a conversation...

I agree. My ignore list just keeps growing.

It seems that the coaches who have made it to the Final Four this year are similar, e.g., SDS's coach. I remember watching BU on the sidelines when hecoached at OSU and being glad he wasn't the Illini coach. Then, what do you know, he is hired. I've been mostly supportive since then as he...

I never heard why the player from France left. Does anyone know?

I hope you put some money down on those 4. I can't believe that the 3 teams i'm rooting for (after the Illini lost) all made it into the Final 4.

An incident in a game near the end of the year but before the concussion worried me then and now: During a time out on the sideline BU was trying to talk directly to Epps who didn't want to look at him. BU tried to get Epps to make eye contact with him but Epps kept turning his face away so he...

Well said. You've described a huge factor in most BB games.

Lot of "shoulds" there.

Me too

Agree about Zachary's - great deep dish pizza

I'm a little perplexed about why I can't find any information here about the Las Vegas games coming up in a few days. Where will those games be held? Are tickets still available? Any info on traveling there? I must not know the secret place to look for this information as it is usually...

Could someone direct me where to get information on these games. For example. where to find tickers, where it's being held, etc. I live in the Bay Area and am considering attending. This will probably be my only chance to see them this year.

If there is one thing that could diminish an Illini game it is having to listen to Bruce's voice all game long. It's almost as though someone with BTN is trying to punish Illini fans.
