But sure, if they shoot lights out, they can outgun opponents. Quite a few teams can say similar, though.

I'll believe Gard makes it out of the first weekend with his own recruits as soon as I see it. So far, he is 0-for-his-career.

likely Arkansas in a Saturday game, so not exactly a cream puff if getting past HP. I think they beat HP by 12-15 but lose a tough one to Calipari.

I'm very curious what is being used to determine who is invited to the WBIT.

It makes zero sense to me to invite a 13-17 Wisconsin team with an 85 NET who had lost 10 straight games over a team like Ball State - much better NET and record.  Ball State's Coach tweeted about how they were snubbed by the WBIT - https://x.com/BallStateWBB/status/2033647159887708214?s=20

There is also the WNIT tournament but you don't have to pay for travel in the WBIT while you do in the WNIT.  So having the NCAA pay for travel for the WBIT is more appealing and the WBIT is supposed to be the more prestigious tournament.

I still suspect Marquette was invited and turned it down but that's just a guess - no idea really.

Thanks for noticing me!

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on March 16, 2026, 05:54:38 PMNot to mention, how could anything possibly interest someone more than Nigel returning? He is our best player, he is going to be our best player. (We are also going to add transfers but) Come on! What's more important than that?

Well if Nigel were leaving that would be a story that would be interesting, no? Yes he is the best player on 20 loss team. Saying he is going to be our best player is an unknown as we have no way of knowing how the incoming class and transfers will perform next season. He just might be, but another player could be also. What is most important is what the entire roster looks like, not just one player. For me if we want to have a winning season we'll need at least 4 transfers.

Former top 15 recruit and very good player, throws it away.

No chance Bama clears him before the weekend?

I get surprised when a SEC school does the right thing. His crime seems less serious than Florida's coach's crimes.

Quote from: Tarragona on March 16, 2026, 04:11:28 PMThis will he Butler's 5th Head Coach in 14 seasons, since joining the Big East Conference.

Stevens - 1 year went to the NBA
Holtmann - 3 years, went to Ohio State
Jordan - 5 years - fired
Matta - 5 years, "retired"

Brandon Miller was a weird situation. He coached one year before he had a mental breakdown and hasn't coached again.

Quote from: brewcity77 on March 16, 2026, 07:20:19 PMI actually think I'll be rooting for Duke. They aren't as hateable with Scheyer and I think it's kind of cool that Boozer has basically won every state & AAU championship and for some reason isn't the clear first pick in the NBA draft despite being NPOY by a mile and doing nothing but winning.

Teams are going to regret taking Peterson and Dybantsa ahead of him.

Disagreed. Boozer will be great, but those two are generational talents.
