That was 40 years ago. The landscape of college basketball has, you may say, changed since then.

The world needs ditch diggers too.

That would be the ultimate big balls call by the AD after how Pitino departed the program only a few years ago.

So if the four impact players--Garcia, Christie, Hawkins and Payne--come back next year, there's certainly potential for a promising season. Ok, but what about after that? We will lose Garcia and Hawkins and likely Christie to his NBA aspirations. Coyle needs to look at the big picture, not just...

Say what you will about Rick Pitino (and you can say volumes), but the MF'er can coach basketball like few others in the history of the game.

Great get for DePaul (as good as they could've ever hoped for), but I wonder why Holtmann took this. It's got to be one of the hardest places to win in college sports. Horrible facilities, the worst team in their conference and only the third best program in Chicago. Only place to go is up, I guess.

Johnson hasn't had a .500 Big Ten team, but both Tubby and Pitino did.

Normally I'd expect to lose to MSU by double digits in our first game of the B1G tournament, but this just happens to be one of Izzo's least accomplished teams of the last 20 years, and we were playing at home, so this one feels pretty egregious. Same old shit.

Dude is mid AF and he's chirping like he's LeBron?

3-28 (and 0-20 in the Big East) DePaul nearly pulls off the stunner over Nova, losing 58-57 on a last second 3. Would’ve been an all-time epic upset before the Moser era begins.

No, he was mediocre at best and his firing was 100% justified. But Ben can only imagine that level of success. That’s the problem.

Mr. Cashman, Dinkytown Athletes holding on line 2. They'll be with you shortly, as soon as they secure funding from Mr. Winfield.

My bad. I’ve always thought that DePaul was a Jesuit school. I’ll amend my statement to Moser wanting to come back to a small Catholic school.

O I have friends whose kids went to high school with Moser’s. They were devastated to leave Chicago, and, being an ardent Catholic, I’m sure getting back to a small Jesuit school would fit him better than Oklahoma. It’ll be fascinating to see if this really happens.

I was sick of this shit 2 years ago, I was sick of this shit 1 year ago and I'm sick of this shit now. This program is the epitome of abject mediocrity, and it feels like it's never going to change.

So, SIU goes 23–10 and 19-13 (despite losing its two best players to the portal) the last two years and ends up firing their head coach (a school legend, no less). So THAT'S what expectations for a program are. Interesting.

Here’s an idea: fuck it if they don’t have a Minnesota connection (and I’m not saying you’re taking that position, only that it somehow seems to be a major criterion for Coyle). The best Gophers coach in my 38 years of fandom was Clem, who likely never set foot in the state before he was hired...

When I think of where this program would've been after Year 3 of Brian Dutcher, I'm pretty confident it wouldn't be 15-42 in conference and celebrating the possibility of going .500 this year. Alas, we suffer from the curse of low expectations, so this is what we get.

The franchise tag guarantees him a one-year deal worth $17.123 million for 2024. Mr. Winfield, Dinkytown Athletes is holding on line 1.

That’s the first thing I thought of too. Hawaii’s setup is only like 8k, but it doesn’t look terrible. Putting it on the lakefront could be brutally windy and cold in November, however.
