    i haven't paid much attention to Shaka at Texas. What's happened so far?

    I'd do whatever it took to get Bryce Drew here. He's only been at Vandy for a year so I'm not sure he'd leave to come here, but I like how that team plays. They are VERY good, despite the sorta ugly record this year.

    Selection Sunday

    Probably the good news is that most small conference champions won their tournaments, so we're likely to see an almost .500 bigger conference team or Akron/South Dakota at home this week.

    Illinois is going to play @Illinois State in the 3rd round if both team make it.

    It's not going to be Donovan unless we want to wait until June to fill the position.

    2017 Coaching Carousel

    Why would Whitman announce anything today? Firing on Monday makes the most sense when our name isn't called Sunday night and shows the reason is directly related to not making the tournament again. I would honestly lose some respect and have thoughts about Whitman not being the guy if Groce is...

    2017 Coaching Carousel

    The more I think about this, the more I think Whitman will grab an NBA guy or isn't coaching right now. I don't think we could even get most of the college coaches on that list (the high ones, not the Cuonzo's or Keatt's), and nothing speaks to recruits more than an NBA guy in your living room...

    Selection Sunday

    I think we'll see Illinois State in our quarter of the bracket, but not first round. Maybe the 2/3 game or they put us 1/2. Either way we'll have to win to even see them which is, umm, not likely?

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

    Werner says that UM just showed up. That should be enough time to still play.

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Michigan

    From what I'm seeing on Twitter, Michigan is in D.C. but is stuck in traffic (or was, hard to say). 90 minutes to game time, and there is still talk of moving the game to a different time today?

    With our luck, we'll win the next two and then lose to Penn State in the Semi-Finals, leaving us out for losing to Penn State a third time.

    Lunardi just said that Syracuse doesn't drop out of his FIRST FOUR BYES, and won't unless Xavier and KSU win, which would push them down to FIRST FOUR IN. That just doesn't sound right to me. I know people think he's drunk most of the time, but dude is generally correct give or take a team or...

    Pregame: #9 Illinois vs #8 Michigan, Thursday, March 9th, 11:00am CT, BTN

    There's discussion by the Big Ten to change the schedule to accommodate Michigan. It's just never been done before so everyone is trying to get together to see what can be done. I could see they them flipping the two early afternoon games around, but it gets tricky from there and a decision...

    Clemson is out with the loss to Duke, not that I thought they were a threat for a bid. The ACC looks to be about set for bids outside of the Wake Forest game. If Virginia Tech wins, it's the best case scenario for us in trying to get/stay above the pack of ACC bubble teams. A win tomorrow puts...
