That's twice today.

What is a broken watch?

Penny's days may be number

What an all time meltdown of stupidity.

Don't judge him for sucking with the #2 recruiting class? You chose to go for young NBA talent

[Pakuni]

I don't know if you saw the article last week about Texas A&M boosters allegedly shelling out upwards of $30million for this year's recruiting class (likely a violation of Texas state law and the NCAA is investigating, not that Jimbo cares). The money Dawson is getting is likely coming from booster owned companies. They would have spent it on UNC in one way or the other.

Here's the A&M article about how it's being done:  https://brobible.com/sports/article/texas-am-recruiting-class-nil-money/ (though the article in incorrect in saying it's legal. NIL money cannot be contingent on a recruit attending an institution or directly, or indirectly, facilitated by the institution).

The source of that report?
"According to a message board user who goes by SlicedBread ..."

That's about as rock solid as it gets

Oh boy.

When you can't take the famously vicious Memphis media, it probably means you need to go coach in New York, Philly or Boston, where the media is much friendlier.

Could be an interesting late night game tonight on CBSSN. San Francisco up on #1 Gonzaga.

UCLA trailing to awful Utah in the 1st half too

I honestly don't think it was stupid.  But it was a choice that he made.  I don't think the media or the casual fan realizes that it's not easy to just roll the ball out with a bunch of one and dones.  What Cal does at UK is harder than it looks and even he isn't consistently top 10 as of late.

Penny is learning that major college basketball is way different than coaching AAU.  He has plenty of faults there, but I do think people just assume top recruits=non stop winning

More on Penny.

Memphis has a "resurgence" under him? Multiple top classes? Let's all be clear he was/is cheating in recruiting. Maybe not anymore with NIL.

Likely similar to Michigan under Juwan.

And absolutely shenanigans under Drew at Baylor.

Oh well though. Cheaters never prosper, right?

"NCAA is investigating"...

When are all those punishments coming out for the coaches and programs involved in the FBi investigation?

[Uncle Rico]

For a really good team, Purdue takes a lot of bad shots.

Purdue has been pretty "meh" since December

Really, not that many people care about this stuff anymore.  If the kids get the money, it's fine.

Illinois played really well

Didn't Mich St. lose to Northwestern?  I'm starting to forget things as I get older.

It's always the same guys. Can't know intent but Davison doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Despite Davison being a dirtbag, the Spartans win in Madison.  Look for many stories about Brad reading the Bible this week

That looks pretty blatant to me. Kept his leg extended and trying to swing it at the guy. Same old. Same old.

Yep. The only kind of cheating that really should matter is academic -- like the huge scandal at UNC for more than a decade that the NCAA pretended didn't exist.

They do a disservice to Grayson Allen by mentioning him with Davison.  Allen did a bunch of petulant chippy acting/lashing out.  Davison plays flat out dirty and has a good half dozen blatant examples of actions that could seriously hurt an opponent, beyond just tripping or pushing someone.

If he truly is a good, nice guy off the court, he needs some therapy cause he's got some wires crossed when competition is involved

Hope you didn't Grayson's foul last night. 😳

It looks intentional to me..

That was some real dirty stuff.

[4everwarriors]

Don't be judge, jury, and executioner. We don't know what went on to get to that point. Caruso may have been pokin' at Allen's heritage or family. Besides, dis iz hour house and you kant just stroll down da lane untouched, aina?
