so for some reason we're honoring K's 1000 wins before the game. what a fucking joke of an idea. this is worse than the kansas sticker.

Rumor floating around on the IU boards is Stevens has an opt-out in his contract with the Celtics if the IU job become open. Also rumors that Crean and the AD are negotiating a buyout after the season where everyone gets to save face.

Could it be happening?

lol pipedreams

Holy hell Boeheim and Cuse got nailed:

Syracuse Basketball ‏@syrbasketball 12m12 minutes ago
NCAA report: Boeheim suspended for nine games; 12 scholarships lost over four years | http://ow.ly/K1nLa

I got grudge sucked!
lolololol

I guess UNC felt compelled to do K a solid because Duke had the moment of silence for Dean. The two aren't comparable situations though

Smith was a bedrock for this conference, and regardless of what some think of his role in the whole academic thing was pretty much a class individual. You respect the life lived.

K isn't dead and his achievements have always been a sore sport for UNC fans in particular because they bring the inevitable Dean comparisons. Most UNC fans I know hate Coach K far more than they hate Duke basketball, and I can't imagine that most of the people in the Smith center respect what he has done or who he is. To them he is the paradigm of evil.

it's not even that deep really.
i'm not going to honor anyone that we're about to play unless they died or they're retiring.
this such a weak move.

Crean going for the elusive "Quadruple-Creaning" in an attempt to save his job.

Thomas Bryant and Thon Maker both visiting IU today.

We are already oversigned by 2 for 2015.

Abu could be a legit ACC POY candidate next year if he learns how to finish. His combination of size and quickness is a load for college forwards.

So much for Gott not being able to compete with all these HOF coaches. Put it on all 4 of them this year, 2 of them on the road. He also gott Jamie Dixon this year.

Things were looking rough for this Wolfpack team during that middle stretch of the ACC, but this will be our 4th consecutive trip to the dance. Probably ~9 seed if we don't win anymore games.
 
That MSU/IU ending was one for the... uh, reverse-ages. Microseconds, I guess.

If you want, I can testify as a neutral party that the game tape should be burned.

Purdue drops two tough road games in a row and falls behind Illinois 15-2 early at home.

But boy have they responded. This is must win. Currently up 37-30 in the second half. On a 16-4 run to start the second half.

If they win this they will be 3-1 against B1G bubble teams. Should be good enough to at least be a play-in game.

I'm surprised they still know what seniors are in Lexington.

It's not like we asked for this, fans don't like the one and done, not our fault if this is how the system works.

Cal gets it more than anyone I've ever heard talk about it, anyone who knows anything about our program knows that it is "player first" above all . I hope they eventually adopt some of his ideas about injury insurance, benefits and care for the players

Purdue should be on the safe side of the fence. Not sure if they're a lock yet, but they needed this win.

Illinois/Indiana on Thursday is going to be a true elimination game. The winner will probably need to win on Friday as well to secure a bid.
