sounds familiar….

imo, one of Underwood's best traits is his loyalty/stubbornness. i also think it's one of his worst traits. get a little creative and start Coleman and have him guard Dickinson. put Kofi on somebody else or (gasp) have him come off the bench. throw a (reasonable) curve ball once in a while...

i think you're dead on. while this team has a lot of talent, it also has some glaring holes, which makes it even more necessary to bring maximum intensity for 40 mins every game. i also love this team and hope they can start putting it all together for 40 mins each game. if they figure that...

i hope i'm dead wrong. this team has the ability to beat (or at least hang with) ANYBODY. but only if they bring maximum intensity for 40 mins. i believe they have it in them, i just hope the light bulb comes on in time for them to make a deep tourney run.

hard to pick Illinois on the road against a talented team which has, as of late, been playing much better (especially at home). sorry, but wake me up when Illinois brings intensity and effort for a full 40 minutes. they haven't done it yet and i don't see it happening tomorrow. they'll play a...

another incident is a metaphysical certainty. howard is a head case with zero self-awareness or self-control

giving the players only one game is incredibly weak. all warren/mich did today was ensure that howard will do this again in the future.

i'll jump in...i don't think this is the most likely outcome, but i would not be shocked if some form of the following occurs: Mich/Big10 tell JH they'll go a little easier on him if apologizes and shows some genuine contrition, but JH (being JH) cannot fathom having to admit fault and ends up...

there are (IMO) certain "cultural appropriation" arguments that have some merit (or at least are not unreasonable and deserve honest consideration), but, as with most things, it gets taken way too far. the problem in this context is that EVERY GROUP borrowed/stole something from some other...

i wouldn't call Whitman's letter a joke, but i do agree he screwed this up by not releasing this (or a similar letter) BEFORE he began hearing from the peanut gallery. if he had issued this letter timely, it would have seemed like leadership. however, issuing the letter now makes him look like...
