If he wants to come back to MU, lots of Scoopers would probably prefer he write a letter to Brian Wardle or Porter Moser.

He can just craft his treatise on this website Goooo?  And perhaps drop a poem or a short story?  J Hauser may give J. Joyce a run for his money and pen the American version of "The Dead".

Given that it's Scoop, he should probably write a haiku.

Coach,

Things are looking down
Softserve wants another chance
Second time's a charm

xoxo,

J

Oh.....I hadn't even thought of that!  I think we should all do mock  preemptive letters, haikus, poems, short stories, or perhaps a children's novel with illustrations?

This is fking brilliant Goooo!!  If I was on the Nobel in Literature committee you would have my vote

[MU82]

I don't know why people are ragging on Joey. I mean, with 4 minutes to go in this 100-point loss he had contributed 2 points and zero rebounds to MSU's cause.

But at least he'll always have memories of keeping Herro away from Marquette and then leading a mutiny to ruin our best season in years.

If you love college basketball, tomorrow is one of the best days of the year. Conference tournament weeks are way more fun than the first round of the tournament. Tomorrow gives you games nonstop from 10am-1am.

Jacksonville St will give Belmont a run, my sleeper Sweet 16 team Georgia Tech is going to lay the wood (-9 by the way) on an awful Wake team, Buffalo/Kent State is going to be near 200 points scored...can't wait, love this next week.

No.

[CTWarrior]

No.

I tend to agree with you, but championship week is close.  It is a lot of fun.

[Dish]

No.

Yes.

Better lines, better DFS options, it's the best.

[GooooMarquette]

The early rounds of the small conference tourneys don't interest me much, but I love the championship games where two teams are fighting for one bid. To me, those games are as exciting as the first Thursday and Friday of the dance.

I liked the O155 as well.

Agreed. Today doesn't interest me all that much, but tomorrow evening through next Friday is a great stretch.

Dayton lost, doggone it!

Will Miller last in Arizona?

[Uncle Rico]

Will Miller last in Arizona?

Beginning to sound more and more like he won't.  I'm not sure other than financial reasons, why they'd keep him around.  Program stuck in neutral along with ethics concerns seems like a good time for a reset for both parties honestly

There could be a few players we can go after if he's canned?  I'll admit I haven't watched Zona much.

The contract was rewritten recently with a very broad "for cause" escape clause. With the recent allegations he should be gone by by Monday. Wojo to Tucson!

Assuming Akinjo goes pro, they have a couple nice freshmen that I imagine will be hot commodities. Tubelis and Mathurin

[MuggsyB]

Ok.State is about to beat West. V and without Cunningham and another starter. 

Hopefully Huggy is alright.....doesn't look good to me.

[JWags85]

14th year senior Traci Carter pours in 23 pts to get Hartford to the second America East Tourney title game in school history.  Beat Vermont on the road. Never made an NCAA tourney, even during the Vin Baker years. Crazy. 

Given the abnormal nature of the season, they play in the final at home next week against UMass Lowell, who also has never made a tourney.  Hartford also beat Albany who, with Vermont, have most of the active AMEAST tourney appearances

[MuggsyB]

I hate to say it but the B14 20+ year streak could be broken this year.  Both Illinois and Michigan have a really good chance.  I will be rooting for Gonzaga but their lack of recent competition concerns me.

Fortunately they will have 3 games against quality competition before facing either Illinois or Michigan in a final 4(looking like the soonest they could meet).

[MuggsyB]

Who will Coach K blame for not getting in the tournament?

Would be nice to see Traci get into the tournament after all these years.
