Never seen so many boneheaded plays in the last minute as the Auburn/ NMSU game. First, Harper's foul out with 15 secs. left. Then the NMSU guy not taking the layup to the Auburn guy fouling the 3 pt shooter....Then with the guy only making 1 out of 3....Auburn wins by default.
Now if KU manages to advanced Auburn will play the game if their life. Tale as old as time.

Oh NMSU. You had it.
Multiple times over. My word.
BeddieKU23 said:
Yeah now it looks bad
I mean it was always bad. Take OT, Auburn's best player has already fouled out.
@BeddieKU23 Should have taken the lay-up lmao
OH
MY
GOD
I get that they will play well and poised against KU if we advance but lol.
What is Auburn doing?
HORRID CALL BENEFITING FSU
Agbaji starting over Garrett.
Auburn is a nightmare match up for KU.
Auburn on fiiire
Refs helping FSU twice in a row.
If Yale could make anything they'd be ahead.
LOL JK GAME TIED
Missed fts and rebounding killing Vermont as FSU starts to assert some control.

Kentucky's PJ Washington won't play in their first round matchup. If he doesn't play in Round 2 they could definitely go down. Wofford is legit and Seton Hall beat them in the non-conference
Rumor is he tore a ligament and will not play at all in the entire tournament. Perhaps time to adjust your brackets.

In a pickle with the FSU/UVM game. Either rooting for my home-state school or favorite football team' school. Early its a 1 pt lead for FSU
Hard to imagine Leonard Hamilton struggling in the tournament...
The good news is that Louisville still doesn't have a prayer.
My bracket is still perfect (I didn't fill one out this year).
BeddieKU23 said:
New Mexico St only down 1, closing in on half time
They turned it around for sure. Some suspect calls have been made in favor of Auburn.

As Auburn goes on a big run lol.
NMSU can't score.
Auburn looks like trash today so of course they will go nuts from three against KU if that match-up happens.

It's unimaginable to me, though, how far Nebraska football has fallen. What a great program. Now, middling. One event -- changing conferences. Man, I wish we could get NE and Colorado back. That would make 12 pretty nice.
It goes to show that any program can fall from grace. One bad hire away.
Only 5 more hours!

Nebraska still plays basketball?
Apparently they are putting a lot of money into it akin to what KU is doing in football to try and revitalize the program.
Great thread title 10/10

Shakur Juiston announced he's transferring. How cliche would it be to get him this time around
Would take.
@Bosthawk It could be that this investigation and what not has re-invigorated him.
Premium
I also mostly think the NCAA doesn't WANT to know anything officially. The NCAA after all is just all the schools together and the way things work is good for all of them. The NCAAT and football are both huge money makers.
So you really have to screw the pooch or piss somebody off to be outed. In this case there was a big federal investigation which is something that has never really happened before.
Common sense mostly, like I said there is no way Zion is going to Duke for free if KU is offering 200k+. I outlined many cases of KU being dirty earlier around the time this was all first announced and noted that we should be thankful this investigation didn't happen earlier.
If you are wanting more insight just go to an AAU tournament, things were discussed pretty openly, though I don't know if things changed a little bit post FBI hubbub. Lots of sleaze hanging around those events.
One last thing on it, I know for an absolute fact that payment occurs at the NAIA level so it would take a fairly large leap of faith on my part to think it isn't going on the higher you go up the chain.
@tundrahok Arizona is Nike tbf. It's the guys that they picked and who they were connected to. Though I would venture a guess that Coach K perhaps isn't directly connected to anyone, Capel is 100% a bag man. No surprise that Pitt is making huge inroads and cleaning up in recruiting these days. Calipari otoh has pretty well documented connection and has fled jobs twice. He's likely more shielded at a big program like UK.
They aren't picking on Kansas. They just don't have anything on Duke or UK because the guys they picked to surveil weren't involved with those schools. There are tons of bag men around the sport.
But...I mean...KU was offering "whatever it takes" to get Zion and he picks Duke while his low income parents end up with a new house in a nice area. 1+1=?
Added Breshaud Breeland at CB. Ehhhh.
@nuleafjhawk Lots of teams in Bosnia, Australia etc...
Seen it mentioned a lot that his inner circle (in this case family) sees him as a OAD and that this year is viewed as an "off year/anomaly".
And really who knows re NBA draft as he has shown well the last couple games and if he plays well in the NCAAT that + his pedigree could get him drafted.
@FarmerJayhawk Forgot about Dooley leaving FGCU. That makes a ton of sense then.
@FarmerJayhawk Sestina looks like he could be a solid stop gap in the post.
Tucker idk, this would be his second transfer which really makes you wonder. Also doesn't appear to play much defense. But a very good 3 pt shooter. I'd rather just return all our guards in a perfect world. Though maybe Chuck gets ran off it's a tough sell for a grad transfer when Dotson, Grimes (if back), Garrett and Agbaji are all locks for solid minutes.

One name likely to have a lot of interest already is Luwane Pipkins. Averaged 21 ppg two seasons ago. Numbers dipped to 16 ppg this season. Had 30 against Nevada this season. Just 5'11 though. Won't be for everyone
Do not want. Looks like he regressed and his 3pt shooting is turrible. Makes me think of Chuck Moore.
I mean, he has an adorable pig nose face. Can't be helped.
Well, he sure shot from the hip. Love the line about wanting to coach for a long time and hope this is all from the heart.
Approx nailed it with the image. I probably should have put friend in fake quotes. Heh.
Good draw for KU.
Piggy Ford back in the NCAAT.
I feel like he would have had a big game if Self let him play against ISU.
Whoever we get in the first game, let's hope it isn't an opponent that forces Self to play small and throw Garrett out there for 38 minutes again... Need to see more Dave.
Whoever said Self didn't care about this game earlier was right.
