2017 ncaa

nice shot

damn

they say that all good things must end some day

omg that block

block / tko

if i hadnt known what happened and only gauged it by how karnowski is reacting on the bench id think hed been.....pepper sprayed?

zags playing well

scar can't miss

officials are giving SC a big boost with a string of questionable calls and no-calls, imo

RIP ducks. They had 8 or 10 chances in the last 6 minutes that bounced off the front of the rim. I gotta think tired legs. They pushed the Tarheels hard. Couldn't get over that last hump.

This is the best article I have read on the coach changes at IU. As an IU grad, it's pretty dead on.

patrick ewing to georgetown!

def seems like he's earned this shot

some good d but lotta misses this half

the finals have really suffered since the best players jump up to the NBA after a year or two. still kind of fun, but not especially good hoops.

zags execution in the last two minutes was horrendous if i'm putting it generously.

that was a horrendous game

gonzaga put their guy who had just re-injured his ankle into to two iso situations in the most critical possessions of the game

that was a horrendous game

@AlexRoseNews
North Carolina lawmakers file bill that would pull #UNC + #NCState from @theACC if #ACC boycotts the state again after #HB2 fallout.

mike krzyewski a bitch

*krzyzewski, point still stands

corruption in college basketball? shocking stuff

damn, they got the rifleman

louisville friend convinced death penalty on the way

or maybe

I'd definitely believe this could just be the start. There has been shoe contract/AAU shenanigans happening for 30+ years. I'm sure eventually something with the Nike schools is to come. There has been allegations around the Nike/AAU for decades but nothing ever happened.

Then again, North Carolina got off pretty much with nothing considering how much academic fraud their sports programs were doing.

I'd figure something will happen with football next.

penn state football and carolina both got off easy, but i don't think those investigations involved the feds?

(the former should have been burned to the ground and had its fields salted)

at a certain point, though, there's so much money involved that it will be worth it for schools to end the charade and leave the ncaa -- unless they're too afraid to so blatantly profit off unpaid athletes

According to sources, Tom Jurich was asked to fire Rick Pitino, refused, both were fired

Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino, who has been placed on unpaid administrative leave amid a federal investigation into fraud and corruption, is the "Coach-2" who played a role in funneling money to a recruit, a source confirmed to ABC News on Thursday.

According to court records, Christian Dawkins, the former agent for ASM Sports who was charged in both parts of the college basketball case, told the cooperating witness, Marty Blazer, that he helped funnel $100,000 to the family of recruit Brian Bowen "at the request of a coach," identified as "Coach-2."

CBS first identified Pitino as "Coach-2" on Thursday.

Court records also said Adidas executive Jim Gatto "spoke directly with Coach-2 multiple times in the days before [Bowen] publicly committed" to Louisville.

During a meeting in a hotel room in Las Vegas on July 27, which was recorded by video cameras placed in the room by the FBI the day before, Dawkins, Jonathan Brad Augustine (the director of a Florida-based AAU program) and an undercover agent discussed how to pay $100,000 to the family of Bowen, a highly recruited player from LaPorte, Indiana, who had recently committed to play for Louisville, which has a shoe and apparel contract with Adidas.

Because two Adidas employees involved in the scheme were having difficulty getting the money, they wanted to funnel the payments through Augustine's AAU program, which was sponsored by Adidas. At one point during the conversation in the hotel room, according to FBI documents, Augustine allegedly said, "No one swings a bigger [expletive] than [Coach-2] at [Adidas]" and added "all [Coach-2] has to do is pick up the phone and call somebody, [and say], 'These are my guys; they're taking care of us.'"

pay the players

Gophers vs Alabama was weird, after entire Alabama bench is ejected, they have eligible players which got whittled down to three. damn near got the lead back playing 3 vs 5 on the floor, just insane game

Yeah, I would have liked to see that one.
