Antoine Davis of Detroit Mercy is in the portal, meaning that he will no longer play for his father, the head coach at Detroit Mercy. I have a sneaking suspicion that his next coach will not allow him to dominate the ball, shoot at will and be one of the nation's biggest guns.

On to yet another coach (victim) who won't realize Virshon's true talent and potential.

Similar to LSU.

Oddly, I remember Aziz in some type of print ad for a public agency. I think it was the Summit County ADM.

I guess it all depends on his priorities. I think the move results in him playing a lesser role and not being a focus of the offense and he leaves behind friends. It appeared that he and Tribble were very close. However, he's closer to home and playing in a real basketball conference. Whatever the reasoning, I wish him well but since he's no longer a Zip I don't much care where he goes from here.

Emma Tecca was a contributor last year and really showed promise for this year. She started the year sick then just fell off of the face of the earth. She and Brewer were both Hoban grads and are now in the portal.

I think I've found him!

In today's day and age I don't think you're ever safe (e.g. Walton and Trimble).

Thad Matta just got himself an 8 to 10 ppg Big East player.

BVP is a good player. You can't have enough good players.

Insincere has declared for the NBA draft. He's not hiring an agent so he will maintain his eligibility.

His shooting wasn't great after facing Akron and the trapping defense but his only awful game after Akron was against Rice where he had 8 points and 6 boards. Otherwise, after Akron he averaged 24 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. He had 37/7/3 against Abilene Christian in their last game.

My initial inclination is to enjoy our opponents losing good players but on second thought good players make for a better MAC and the only way out of the one bid abyss is a better MAC..

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! Say it ain't true! The next thing you're going to tell me is that John Calipari cheats. I gave up when North Carolina and Saint Roy Williams walked away from that academic scandal unscathed.

Great. Kansas and that cheating Bill Self win a national championship while the NCAA plods through one of its interminable investigations. I'll bet the Adidas money train is happy along with the Kansas administration that gave Self what is essentially a lifetime contract in the midst of the investigation. Better yet, they win it over a school with a history of cheating.

Exactly. It is similar to the recruiting process where you have to wait to see how the top kids are going to pan out before the other kids settle into their new schools. I did an informal study and found that 97.8% of college basketball players are unrealistic as to the level of their talent and the quality of schools that might want them.

How is Thad Matta only 54 years old? I'd have bet he was 60 plus. I was thinking the Butler made a mistake by hiring an old fogy.

That's as close as I have seen to a compliment for Dakich!

That NC/Duke game was outstanding.

Eff LSU. Bunch of damn cheaters. The school even let its cheater coach keep coaching when there was clear evidence he was a cheater.

Yep, the only way that works well is if Freeman extends his range or the other big guy is like Xeyrius and can play away from the basket.

Good luck to Boals. Seems like a good coach and a good guy, just the kind of coach I would hope for an archrival to lose.
