It aint stopping

Seems these conference tournaments may not have been a good idea.

[Hards Alumni]

Technically then the UVA spot is open?

No, you only need 5 players to field a team.

[The Sultan]

They should have either not done the conference tournaments, or had them scheduled a week prior so everyone could isolate in Indy for a week.

[MuggsyB]

Good grief  there are games on the 22nd and 29th?  WTH?  Will miss a few....smh.

[MuggsyB]

Exactly.  Good point FBM.  These people are apparently inept.

[Silent Verbal]

I've been saying for weeks that the conference tournaments were a bad idea.  How are so many teams going down in such a short period?

[MuggsyB]

I'm making a motion to allow the MU TBT team to take an NCAA slot.

When does TBT start?  Vander?

[GooooMarquette]

By god - Wojo's strategy to tank the GTown game and then quarantine the team in the bunker is actually working!

Extend Wojo's contract NOW!!!

This would have made too much sense. The tournament should also be shorted and played in a quicker time frame. The kids have been through a lot this year and some teams will be quarantined for weeks now.

That i$n't what E$PN $aid....

Exactly. And when MU gets into the NCAAT, our opponents will catch C19 and forfeit so Woj gets his first NCAA win!

Would be the best bit of coaching he's done while at MU.

What's going on in the Maryland/Michigan game, I just flipped it on to see coaches ready to fight?

I found this, bus still unclear what led to it:

More from Galli:

I think Howard and Turgeon were arguing about whether it's harder for a team to beat an opponent for the third time in a season.

There has also been some tension between the teams stemming from Dickinson woofing at the Maryland bench during their game in MD during the season. Dickinson is a Maryland native and wasn't recruited by the Terps and he apparently had something to say about it.

Also, Turgeon apparently started barking at Howard for being out of the coaches box.

Two teams out of the ACC tourney due to covid.  Are they doing something wrong, does the ACC have different policy than the BE, or just more contact (tracing).  i.e. - Moore from SJU was held out due to a positive covid test, but the team could still play. 

It'd be a shame if Sam doesn't get his tourney this year, but that's also part of the "suck it up, buttercup" that we've all had to do.

Yeah, that would really be a damn shame. 

[nyg]

Kansas now done.  Out of their tourney. 

[shoothoops]

With regards to Michigan v Maryland, both coaches spoke after.

Apparently according to both coaches, Turgeon didn't like Howard being outside of the coach's box and complained about it to officials. Howard said,.Really? Is that how we are going to do things today? Turgeon responded by saying, "Don't talk to me, don't ever tall to me again." And Turgeon then Turgeon charged a bit at Howard. Nothing about banners etc...was ever said. This goes back to their previous two meetings this year as well.

What would Mark Turgeon know about hanging banners?

Thanks.  Without knowing any history it was weird to see it escalate that quickly.

Just thought I'd bring back this gem if we are talking confrontations with Michigan coaches. Plus this guy knows a thing or two about hanging a banner.

[shoothoops]

For purposes of full disclosure, I once sat next to Mark Turgeon on a long flight years ago. Little can be concluded from one experience, but, I can say that in that experience, he is quick to engage in "spirited debate," and we'll leave it at that.

Nothing really to see here from today. After the game as Phil Martelli was waving to Maryland from a distance, Howard Eisley came over to physically yank Martelli away to go the other direction. (The Michigan staff is close knit and Martelli was quick to credit Eisley for Smith's elite performance in the game)

Fake news

[shoothoops]

Assistant on the Larry Brown Danny Manning KU team.

Turgeon was an assistant for both Larry Brown and Roy Williams at Kansas. He is from Kansas (Topeka). He played at Kansas, and being Head Coach there has always been his dream job.
