TREY PORTER OLD DOMINION MIGHT BE A REALLY GOOD PICK UP

"Head missed a three with 17 seconds left that would have tied it, we fouled, they hit 2 free throws and the game was over."
This is correct. We had a shot to tie then UNC grabbed a rebound and iced it with 2 FTs - i was at the game and had began the process of walking from my nosebleed seats towards the court because if we had won - i wanted to be as close as possible. Just not meant to be because - like mentioned - Augie couldn't get close enough to breathe on Sean May without a foul being called.
And about 3 players were academically eligible for UNC (insert sarcasm here)

Just 3?
Been quiet on that front.
If playing time was a major concern since Black/Finke were here when he commited to X, then I could see us jumping to number one. Though if he follows Mack I wouldn't be all surprised.
Kipper, I believe, can cover some of that scoring loss and basically played the same position. He needs more consistency for sure, but he isn't that far removed from being able to do that.
Purdue
Haarms and Boudreaux in the same frontcourt would be quite a follicly contrasted duo.

That is distinctly not the same as the football program, though. That's certainly more than a two-year fix. So, either you are being pedantic so as to not technically be wrong based on the definition of "couple", or else you are not paying attention to Illinois football.

Wait, he's the pedant?
Well, in this situation, yes. In many others, I inadvertently become the pedant.
Is Louisville eligible for post season play? Has all that type of thing been determined or is getting rid of Pitino the end of things wth Louisville and the NCAA? I assume they are eligible.

Haha just giving you a hard time. :thumb:
Two weeks from today, Apr 11th, should be a good Wednesday for Illini fans, the BU train keeps chugging along!
Any particular reason Tevian Jones is announcing on April 11th?
Haven’t you been following? It’s a Wednesday.

Not sure if it is the reason but i believe it is the first day of the signing period.

This Yahoo article from today sheds a little light on the current situation, and the possibility for punishment in regards to the FBI stuff. (A punishment was already handed down for the sex scandal)

Just saying both programs have to go through a rebuild. Should't take as long for bball. Hence a couple of years. I try mightily not to be pedantic.
Decent article that puts the facts on the table. Yes, Mack is taking risk and getting paid millions to take the risk (Louisville is also taking a risk on Mack given his situation as well).
But will recruits take the same risk with no money to be gained?
If it was my son, I would point them in a different direction until the stink clears, which may take several years.
Have we had an in home with Okoro? Man based on the athlete my friend that works them some says he is I really want him in Orange n Blue. He said he is the best athlete he has worked with since Agodola from Springfield.
