CBB: So was Brad Davison or Grayson Allen the dirtier player in college?

Jeremy Fears: Hold my beer

Looks like MSU players are acting the same way on and off the court/field.

I know standup guy, Tom Izzo, won't stand for this.

Some MSU co-ed is going to pay dearly.

"I don't even know if I'm gonna start him next game," Izzo said after Michigan State's 76-73 loss to the Gophers in Minneapolis. "Jeremy's gotta grow up a little bit."

Bashing Doug Gottlieb is a bit tired, not because it's not merited, but because it's beating a dead horse at this point.  And mild credit to him, he's made GB into a mediocre team this year instead of abjectly horrible like last year.  But then he runs his mouth as is his inclination and says this nonsense...

https://x.com/cboxsports/status/2019504033149469009?s=46

The MAC has 4 teams that are higher in the NET than the top team in the Horizon, and 8 who would be in the top 2.  Oh and Miami beat the best team in the Horizon, Wright St, by 8 on the road.  But sure Doug, your squad who is 7-6 in the Horizon with no Q1 or Q2 wins and 5-5 in Q3 definitely wouldn't struggle against Miami.

I also like that he's so magnanimously offered to have Miami come to play on the road in GB like it's a destination game for a mid major.

I'm obviously biased with my interest in Miami's remarkable story and run, but I do find it fascinating how much bitterness and resentment it's brought out among certain segments of the college basketball world.  They havent yet been over-seeded in the tournament or "stole" a bid from a P5 program after they lost in the MAC tournament.  All they've done is get well deserved praise and attention for winning 23 straight and getting ranked.  Yet people can't help scream about their schedule or seethe that they'd get killed by "insert mid range B10/SEC/ACC" school.  Save that rage for March people

[Newsdreams]

Are the Jack Rabbits good?  Does St Thomas play anyone good?  What is our fascination with St Thomas again?

Next team on BE expansion

Terrible take by Gottlieb.

Is his program being discussed?

Congrats, Buzz. Way to use that portal!

After landing at No. 182 in the latest NET rankings, Maryland is officially the lowest-ranked power conference school in the country.

Can you imagine how embarassing it must be to lose to a team like that?

[MU82]

Gard avoids yet another way to get things done.

A great coach.

I just saw how Wisky lost.  Lol!!

Lotta people scoffed at the idea of adding Trimble last season.

Most importantly, the people who actually participated in the process.

[Johnny B]

Duke chokes to UNC. Trimble hits 3 with .4 left on the clock. Whole student section had to clear the court to finish the final .4.

Fears enters the portal.
Scoop:  Fire Shaka if he can't get Fears.

Is Izzo just a tw@t?  I look back over the years and the case seems compelling. Tiny tw@t.

He looks unhappy for some reason.  Of course he always looks angry about stuff.

I'm no anti-Storm The Court absolutist. I actually think it's fun.

But blueblood UNC's fans are storming the court now after regular-season wins?

[MuggsyB]

That looked like a terrible call on Illinois

These last 5 years or so kids storm the court/feild for a lot less than what it used be. Not that I care. They beat their top 5 ranked rival in near buzzer beater fashion.. why not

Against Scheyer, who turned into a blubbering crybaby when a fan ripped Kyle Filipowski's arm and beat him to death with it in a court storm, I'll allow it.

[MuggsyB]

The refs aren't helping Illinois down the stretch.
