Got to give our Illini program a cap tip. Luke Goode (who I still like), had to remind his coach to shake hands after Maryland lose.

I wonder how much of this was truly "the allegations were unfounded" vs "Hey, we're 18-2. Nothing to see here."

We'll likely never know for sure, as I don't ever expect us to see or hear any substantiation of the items in this statement. Given the TSJ situation, I'm not going to assume guilty until proven innocent.

Bryce Hopkins is out for the season. Again.

Feels like he's been in college forever.
That's terrible. He played really well in his three games after he came back, before he got injured again. So much talent, just the worst luck. Hope it all works out for him.

That Providence team has been a sneaky good and fun team to watch the last couple of years, even without Hopkins. Absolute shame he just cannot stay healthy.

You know your program has fallen off a cliff when your coach needs to be reminded by a transfer player who came over from an in conference team and is playing for your program for the first time about what the standard and culture should be with your program. Lol.

Jeez the main reason they lost is because Woodson did not make sure they used their foul to give, instead they let them take and make a 3 pointer for the loss. Makes me appreciate Brad even more.

Some of it seems pretty tough to definitively prove...social media stalking, following people in cars, off-hand comments and requests...but the unsolicited 'Bruce Pearl' pics seems like the evidence would be right there in that person's phone. Odd situation and he won't have the chance to be fully vindicated in court like Terrence was if there's truly no teeth to the allegations

If he truly did this, it won’t be the last we hear of this guy and then the story will turn to why did UF turn a blind eye here and sweep it under the rug. After the treatment TSJ got, I won’t judge this guy yet but that type of behavior if it happened isn’t easily pushed down and out by a predator.

The letter read like "He pulled some really sketchy stuff but not much that anyone can prove so we good"

Probably rooting for Ohio State, an Iowa loss pretty much will make it impossible for them to make the dance with what they have ahead of them.
We also want as many of these to remain a quad 1 as possible. OSU (at home) is a quad one opportunity. Iowa at home has no chance of being a quad 1.

So probably OSU.

It would be interesting to see if the investigation reports get released publicly. Based on what I read the University outsources their Title IX investigations, which is good practice, but they appear to do it with one specific provider, which does I think potentially raise questions about the impartiality given that the University was publicly backing him (i.e. if I have a big contract to do these kinds of investigations with a client, and that client makes their feelings on an a specific investigation, how impartial can I really be given that I may want that contract renewed down the line?).

Penn State won't win, they're not good enough to win.... but michigan is not all that. they were overrated after their hot start. no great wins tells the story more times than not, as evident here. .

we should, and need to beat them with a full team.
Understand about your take on UMich. Goldin and Wolf need to be more dominate.
Still, PSU needs to win to bring UMich back to the pack.
