Second place is 1st loser
When the goal of 99% of all fan bases is to 1)Make the tournament and 2)Have a high seed in the tournament.....you avoid stupid scheduling. There is zero upside there. As we saw, metrics matter.

We had an EXTREMELY entertaining schedule this year and none of it took playing a mid major on the road to make it that way.

1)Stay away from holiday tournaments
2)Stay away from mid major road games
3)Stick to home and home versus the big boys
4)Play a strong, but not daunting, home schedule
5)Don't load up with patsies.

You never want to voluntarily put yourself into a Q3 road game. It happens enough in conference.

The fan/player experience comes in March.

@Indy Illini Fan has gone silent. This can only mean one thing; he hit the transfer portal and is now a part of the Longhorn Loyalty board.

Godspeed Indy

Can someone explain to be how going to Villanova from Maryland isn't a lateral move? Quite possibly even a downgrade, considering the money revenue that comes in from the Big Ten? What am I missing?

Even if Maryland somehow got him to come back which a long shot imo….would they really want him back? He’s burned bridges and the fanbase will not support it. They are out with pitchforks right now. He may not survive next season…that should tell you something. 😉

So who replaces Willard at Maryland? Some online chatter about Buzz Williams which makes no sense other than Buzz likes to leave every job he's ever had after 5-6 years..

I've heard from multiple places that Hamer is safe, which is ridiculous. And now with rumors about some players' issues with Tyler, you really have to wonder what the hell is going on. I hope Whitman is paying close attention to all of this.
