Funny how you now think we need to be happy that they’re leaving. No, I’m pissed too. But the holier than thou act about money gets old.

You guys act like most of these players have the rest of their lives to make this kind of money. This might be their ONLY chance after all the time they put in to cash in. You just have your panties in a bunch because it’s not favoring your home team.

And Drake my Freshman year was a 5 on the buzzer beater to Western Kentucky. Oof da.

You are correct! I always forget about them. The only weirder thing is 5 seed has never won it all. No wonder those dang 12s always feel like they have a chance.

I believe someone previously mentioned it, but giving it to the end of April is more than fair given the negotiations have also changed in regards to NIL. That being said, it’s a good point.

Hey just need to be a Top 7 seed to have a chance to win the tourney historically speaking!

Yes it is assumed that is the case. Avila entered the portal with an exclamation point, indicating do not contact. His mind is already made up.

He went into the portal with an exclamation point, which indicates do not contact. He’s going to St Louis 99% sure.

I don’t think any of us expect Ihnen to be a “high contributor” to our team next season. If he’s playing a ton of minutes I would assume that would be a bad sign. Then again I definitely didn’t expect the season that Fox had going into this year. Ultimately I think it’s more than ok to have...

Considering how much we’ve struggled to fill a roster in the Johnson era, I’d have no problem keeping Ihnen. As long as he understands his role, I take all the the grown men we can add for depth. For what it’s worth, Brodie for Drake wasn’t nearly the player he ended up becoming as he got older...

Come on home sir!

“will bring in a bunch of one year mercenaries who somehow coalesce and fight their way to glory to emerge at the top of a bloated Big 10...is that going to feel. . .good?” Nope. It would feel fantastic! I don’t think you’d see nearly as much complaining if it seemed to actually work in our favor.

Well they had more than a few makeup calls for the last 10 minutes of the game that I watched. Pretty terrible reffing in what I saw. That coming from a guy who roots against Duke in most situations.

UConn has been impressively dominant.

Good! I didn’t have them as one of my potential NCAA champion picks based on past precedence. Although I still don’t have a ton of faith in Purdue…
