I don't think we're going 0-fer with this group without David. He'll elevate us, but we're not going to be an easy W for anyone. And I think the games we could lose are ones that would be tough wins even with him. Duke on the road this year is a tall order --they're a National Champ level...

Of course it's terrible, but big picture we're looking at March/April as when we need all hands on deck and hope to make a run at a championship. If we drop a couple seeds we'll still be very dangerous with Mirk back. Ideal? Far from it, and missing a difference maker just isn't fun. But there...

Yeah. I suppose we're all wondering how serious and whether it's weeks or months before he's back on the court.

Just for fun the 2025 preseason poll Last year Texas was #1 Penn State was #3, and Indiana was 19

A good reminder that being a pundit is orders of magnitude easier than being the head coach.

I assume it was ND, but the news story said IU cancelled.

If he used a 5th year, he could shelve the NCAA assist record. As it is, probably take a while for a 5 year player to do it.

Makes me wonder when it was originally scheduled - if it was a year or two ago, they couldn't have known what they were getting into. That's said, IU could've been a premier opponent for a team that was left out last year due to a soft schedule.

Something to be said for making the fan experience better.

Amazing how far the pendulum has swung towards the athletes. The NCAA was feared for so long time with their tremendous power over athletes through eligibility. What money they got had to be under the table.

But what a memory!

Does not have NBA size? Strange comment on a guy who's 6'9" 250 guy with a 7' wingspan and could be trusted to bring up the ball.

Potentially a huge week. If I understand it, the BIG and SEC are supposed to decide whether to support it by tomorrow. Lot of major changes if they do and it passes. Not sure how I feel about a one time transfer rule or the anti-trust exemption being entrusted to the NCAA. From what I've read...

We found damning issues in our report, so as punishment, please stay on to the end of the year, accept this huge payout, here's your retirement, and we'll pay your legal fees. So take that Mr. Manuel!! And sorry about the accountability --we have no choice.

Saban probably believes what he's saying, or at least that it's his job to say it, given his boss's conflict of interest with the SEC. And the SEC has a decent argument it's got better depth at the bottom. They're one of the two best conferences for sure. But the post season has always been...
