Game lasted 3:26, which is pretty much right at D1 average. Wouldn't mind if they could speed it up by 20-30 minutes.

I believe this is the first year this crew has been together but it appears they are a MAC crew. Tim O'Dey was the referee and he was on the CMU-Oklahoma St game last year where they erroneously gave CMU an extra play which they scored on to win. That crew received a two-game suspension because...

Interesting to compare Coach Walker and the other names being thrown around for CBU's staff with Martin's new staff at Mizzou. Cornell Mann joins Mizzou from Oakland University after being let go by Iowa State. Chris Hollender leaves University of Missouri at Kansas City to move to Columbia. And...

Correct. He's also an experienced P5 assistant who might be a very good recruiter from Day 1.

I wish Illinois would find a spot on the staff for Michael Porter Sr.

Hopefully our new coach will stay longer than Jean Barto did....

Tutored several athletes while I was in grad school and my experience was likewise. Some were very interested in learning and some not, but I never had one ask me to do the work for them.

Real Time RPI had ISU's SOS at 138 before today's game. They were really penalized by the fact that the 3rd best team in the MVC was 143 in RPI and Drake, Bradley and Indiana St were so bad. That being said, they could have done themselves a lot of good by scheduling a few stronger...

Once upon a time, record in last ten games was part of the committee's selection criteria but they threw that out several years ago. Last ten count the same as first ten.

Short of doing something to embarrass the UI, there is no reason to let him go until the season is over. And winning the NIT is meaningless because you're not going to beat anybody in the top 40-50 along the way. Palm said Illini need to win the BTT to get to the NCAA. It's possible 9-9 plus a...

I follow Alabama basketball closely and can't imagine Avery Johnson has any interest in leaving. He has a good freshman class right now including McD AA Braxton Key. Has an even better class coming in for next season. He also has former Ohio St center Daniel Giddens sitting out this year due to...

I see a guy who is a career 31% shooter from the field with an awkward looking shooting style. Maybe at best average defensively, and hasn't shown the ability to create his own shot. Looks to be a good teammate, but barring significant injuries/transfers, I don't see him ever being much of a...

I have to wonder if Dan Muller may become a candidate at some point. ISU is playing really well, and each year he's been there they have improved. MVC records of 8-10, 9-9, 11-7, 12-6, and now 7-0. When you consider he and JW grew up in the same town and are only a few years apart in age...

I wasn't aware that Shad's relationship with the athletic dept had soured. What happened?

With the release of the EOAA Report from the alleged sexual assaults on the weekend of his Minnesota visit, we may see several schools back off from Quran Hafiz.
