Izzo knocked Richard out in the Round of 32 in 2019. Will it happen again?

Forgive me for not going crazy about the superlatives, but Seth Davis numbed me by calling Ben Johnson elite.

Duke is playing 8 miles from their campus, so at least the committee gave that downtrodden program a boost of home cooking.

These are the play-in games to face him. He got a bye through the first 2 rounds because of his eliteness.

That's what I took from that pronouncement, too. Very passive aggressive way of letting us know, Jay.

Check out these coaching matchups for tomorrow's games. Some serious heavyweights, especially for round 2.

Builtbadgers is another guy who was a prolific poster, but hasn't been here for more than a year and a half now. He said he was in his 70s, so maybe time got him, like it did a Dick Bennett offense.

There's some strong Minnesota pragmatism right there!

Or Pitino vs Calipari in round 2.

Fair enough, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and hope that somehow she’s the second coming of Donna Shalala, or even half a Shalala.

The academics running the University care, that’s who. For as long as I’ve been a student and alum, every president, from Ken Keller to Rebecca Cunningham, and the Board of Regents have viewed athletics as a necessary evil that was fine when it’s quiet, but a complete pain in the ass to them...

Could not agree more.

Ok, but it was a Sinatra signature song, not Tony Bennett (either the crooner or basketball coach).

That was a Sinatra song, and he's currently coaching St. John's.

Bennett's out of the game. The man was clear why he stepped away from one of the best gigs in college basketball, and that's because the industry has changed so much that he no longer wants to be part of it. He's not coming back just 5 months later to coach Minnesota. "The game and college...

Clem (who lived for 9 years outside the South when he was in the NBA) and Tubby had interest in Minnesota. Wade obviously didn’t, otherwise he’d be the Gophers head coach.

Again, a coaching hire is a two-way proposition, meaning the coach has to want the school as much as the school wants the coach. Why would a guy like Wade, who has spent his ENTIRE life in the South, suddenly make Minnesota his home, a place that’s completely foreign to him culturally...

“Do the right thing” isn’t in ol’ Will’s DNA.

Wade was never coming here so I hope he enjoys his tenure in Raleigh.

When asked if he had been contacted for permission to talk with Medved, Weber responded, “I had a lovely chocolate soufflé for lunch.”
