I sure wish I could read a thread about basketball and the games currently happening.
3/12 Games

I didn't get to watch the game so I asked my nephew what happen and he said Supposedly this --- you can hear Turgeon on TV yelling at Howard 'Don't hang the banner because your banners come down.' (Final 4 banners from the early 90s?) If that is what got under Howard's skin the opposing fans will have a field day with him during the next basketball season.

Yup, Purdue will be a tough out next year.

Speaking of corporate sponsorships, SMU is currently leading Cincinnati in the Air Force Reserve American Athletic Conference Championship quarterfinal, and Oklahoma and Baylor tip off at 6:30 ET in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship semifinal. Georgia Tech gets a day off in the New York Life ACC Tournament, and Colorado and Utah play late tonight in the Pac-12 Tournament presented by New York Life.
Continuing pattern of the team that played the previous day getting out to an initial lead being used to the football dome environment, then around halftime the rested higher seed starts getting into the game and taking over. Happened with Minnesota, happened with PSU, happened with Maryland this morning, and now happened in the first half with Ohio State.
So I wouldn't be surprised that in the early evening game, if Rutgers gets off to the fast start.

Load the team on a plane, come to Alaska and get vaccinated. Anyone over 16 is now eligible here.
At this point, I think all we can do as fans is pray that our team and the others are fortunate enough to avoid an issue. The new variants are far more contagious and, as they are aerosolized, the presence of fans in the arena is an unnecessary problem. Wish they had kept everyone but family away.

Purdue going as far as Ivey can carry them.
True. But I think tOSU won’t tire like the others did and will beat Purdue.
I guess we shall see!

Watching a snippet of Howard's presser on ESPN.com, he's got a lot of words trying to make an excuse for being an ahole. I couldn't find an easy link, but here's a scUM website with it.

Juwan Howard explains what led to his ejection vs. Maryland
As intriguing as Michigan basketball’s ability to rally from being down 12 to win by 13 against Maryland, that’s not what anyone is talking about in the aftermath of the Wolverines̵…

I laughed, not proud of it.
Chaney also choked another coach a decade earlier...then sent an enforcer in against St Joe's and a kid got his arm broken.
That dude was not to be trifled with. Great coach but scary AF.
All the experts picked Purdue as an easy win today! Experts shmeckmerts
Watching WIlliams vs Liddell is fun. Both those guys are so skilled in the post.

This.
IIRC, Howard got a T in the game against us. Not sure what caused it. He might be a bit of a hot head.
“At the end of the day, first, I want to apologize to my team, which I did in the locker room for my actions. That’s not the way how you handle situations like that under adverse moments. You can’t let your emotions get the best of you."Watching a snippet of Howard's presser on ESPN.com, he's got a lot of words trying to make an excuse for being an ahole.

I wonder what happened that made him want to make this statement? Did he trash it? 🗑 Did he tear his shirt off and threaten to go fight Turgeon? Did he challenge his players to use social media in a negative light? I want to know...and yes suspend him for remainder of tourney! He's a joke

Apparently Dickinson is a dick. But there must be much more to the Maryland-Michigan feud.
According to Turgeon, this has been boiling all season. The Terps and Wolverines faced off twice in the regular season with both games ending in Michigan blowouts. There was a lot of chirping from freshman Hunter Dickinson toward the Maryland bench in those games, dating back to his recruitment history.Dickinson plays with a chip on his shoulder claiming Turgeon elected not to recruit the local five-star big man. Most local reporters dispute Dickinson's take on his recruitment, but Turgeon has tried to avoid engaging with the big man.

Cancel the rest of the BTT games now, and hermetically seal the players for the next week. I'm serious. What's to gain from risking exposure now? I suspect 100 out of 100 players would rather sit this weekend then risk getting knocked out of the dance due to the virus. This is a potential nightmare situation. I really dislike that, when it matters most, the Illini are out of the bubble that worked for them for eight months.
OSU in the danger zone with Liddell now in foul trouble. Williams bringing grown-man game to the court this half.

The kids want to play. I guarantee you. There's just as much chance it happens during the NCAA's now, if they stop the B1G tourney...why would they continue with the NCAA's?
