    Post-Season Bids

    Schertz signed a Memorandum of Understanding with SLU for $2 million per year for 6 years, and has a $4 million buyout - that is what turned Louisville away. The sportswriters and radio hosts in St. Louis are opening encouraging Schertz to "bring the whole team" to SLU.

    @Wisconsin - WNIT Super 16 - Thursday, 3/28/2024 - 7 pm - B1G+

    You are correct - I was on one of those buses. The badgers played in an old barn for a Fieldhouse back then. It was glorious - the Birds took to them - 77-62. Watkins and Hansell had excellent games.

    DeVries to West Virginia

    The deal is not ironclad - more of like in principle from what I understand. The SLU folks are afraid the more Indiana State wins in the NIT the more likely it is for Louisville to make a better offer. Then it is back to the drawing board for SLU.

    Schertz's agent already has a deal with SLU.

    Week 6 - vs SIUE, vs NIU, vs Bradley (x3)

    This is not good - lost the first two to a bad BU team. Lost 9-8 and 12-6 - pitching, pitching, pitching.

    Mullins out at SIU

    But most Chicago Public School parents want their kids to get out of Chicago - because of all the crime and gang activity.

    Yach Out

    Or UIC listened to concerns about Jones from multiple sources and decided to go another direction. Very glad the sources had the guts to talk - far too often today, it seems taboo to call a jerk - a jerk.

    2024 NCAA Tournament

    Drake lost because they did not make free throws. On the season they shot around 78 percent. For the game they were 6-14 - several of those misses were on the front-end of a one-and-one. Go 12-15 - win the game - the lead would have extended and Washington State would have had more pressure...

    Bracket?

    I liked what one analyst said, there is not one player in this year's tournament that was even born since Izzo won the Championship 24 years ago.

    2024 NCAA Tournament

    Yes, it sucks. The Valley gets NO respect - rename ourselves as the Rodney Dangerfield Conference. However, a lot of people only view the Valley as the Big Ten Development League - point to all of the transfers from Valley teams to the Big 10.

    2024 NCAA Tournament

    Indiana State lost to Michigan State - that was a small part of the consideration.

    Birds vs UNI

    Yes, the game was lost in the first quarter. I do not understand keeping Wilson out with only one foul. That was a mistake.

    Offered Noah Cleveland, 6-9, PF, Normal Community

    I liked how Noah played in the last three games - the games I watched. Rebounding and defense - always in the mix and around the ball. Numerous assists and gives you offense on the inside and can hit the occasional 3-ball. Worked on the point of the full-court press - athletic talent. I...
