    I really dislike this ability to transfer. I understand that it’s best for the players. I know it’s more fair for the players and it is reality. I just liked it better when players played for 3 or 4 years so we could see them grow and develop. I guess, “GET OFF MY LAWN!”

    3/25-3/27 Games Thread

    People were asking why we root for B1G teams. For me (except when it is Indiana) it’s because the B1G gets no respect.

    3/24 Games Thread

    I did not see a thread where this should go, but I did want to start discussion of this issue. The SEC crapping the bed is just the first instance of a Power 5 grab to remove small conference upsets. The clown behind this is an SEC shill who's teams are not good enough and so, watering down...

    I said when I saw the draw that we had it good. Many disagree. They were wrong.

    The three seconds rule (also referred to as the three-second rule or three in the key, often termed as lane violation) requires that in basketball, a player shall not remain in their team's foul lane for more than four consecutive seconds while that player's team is in control of a live ball in...
