One of these days, the assistant who is trying to keep you from getting suspended is going to resent you shoving him away and hitting him away. I just want the designated "hold me back" assistants to let the coach or player go. Let's see what a big man you are without wrestling with an assistant.
I know it is all performative in all sports....but I find it tiresome and childish.

He’s not doing much to rehabilitate his image. At least this time he was aggressive toward a man.

I'm predicting Minnesota vs MSU goes down to the wire tonight. Hopefully the Gophers get the upset.

I predict Washington to beat Iowa tonight in Seattle.

I like that Washington team. They're tough. Despite the fact they lost to Seattle U. back in December. The teams combined to go 4-37 (10.8%) from 3. :ROFLMAO:

Ok, I'm pretty sure UConn is the best team in the Big East.

This year, it isn’t even close.

UConn is really good. St. John’s is pretty good. The rest of the conference is not very good at all. I remember how a couple years ago Big East Friday night games were almost must-see. Now it’s virtually unwatchable.

Sort of a half-baked hot take, but I wonder how much the lack of football NIL infrastructure is harming those programs.

Good news / bad news I'd think. Good news is that 100% (minus some small % for non-revenue sports) of your revenue goes to basketball. Bad news is that your overall revenue stinks.

It actually helps programs like that a lot. See St. Louis. Basketball only schools don't have to split resources. At least that's the consensus among sports writers.

Villanova is solid. They’re a team that we could see in round 2 potentially as a 7/8/9. seed.

If we lose to Sparty i will be very disappointed. They just don’t look that good.

Something I've seen talked up by the media is they'll have a revenue share advantage without football, but I wonder if they even generate the revenue to fill the full revenue share pool to begin with.

Sort of half-baked reply, but I wonder how much the lack of insight that football matters (Grrrrrr!) more than basketball for NIL matters for ALL programs. Fixed it for ya, Gritty. Thank me elsewhere.

Houston looks great against UCF. Their defense is really harassing and rotates fast. It is something.

I haven’t seen MSU play before tonight—they don’t look remotely close to a top 10 team.

Hoping Minny can keep this up against Michigan State and don't fold in the second half. C'mon Gophers.
