College Basketball 2024-25

Not much of a surprise. Matt Painter has made no secret of the need to booster what we have through the portal. Size needed.

 

Add your big man who was injured very early in the season to Cluff and you guys should have plenty of front court talent.

 

Buzz Williams leaves A&M for the Maryland job. I guess that's a move up but I am not sure. Buzz is a good coach not sure he's a National Championship coach , but Maryland is a good job with lot's of support. Lot's of talent in the DMV.

 

Is the DMV Delaware, Maryland, Virginia?

 

Yes, it is.

 

Thanks, Kyle. I didn't think the talent would be found only in the Department of Motor Vehicles.

 

I always thought DMV, referred to DC,Maryland and Virginia.

 

True if Jacobson comes back with a healthy knee and Painter develops him as he has other big men over the years...but we're still pretty guard heavy. Thus it makes sense for a couple of guards to hit the portal and for us to try to get some size. They are legacy guys and we thank them and their Dads for being part of Purdue. (Colvin and Waddell). We also lost a big man, Will Berg, to the transfer portal.

 

Either makes sense.

 

If you were talking sports maybe, it really has more to do with the Chesapeake Bay than anything.

 

Interesting read on the money behind Duke Basketball.

Women's semifinals tonight.

Longhorns off to a good start vs South Carolina.

 

Very good 1st half, Longhorns played most of half with Madison Booker in foul trouble.

 

3rd qtr was all South Carolina, they now have a 14 point lead, can't see the Longhorns making that up in the 4th qtr.

 

Looks like the Aggies have their replacement for Buzz Williams.

SAN ANTONIO -- Texas A&M is set to hire Samford coach Bucky McMillan as the school's next men's basketball coach, sources told ESPN on Friday. The sides are finalizing a five-year deal, according to sources.

McMillan is the head coach at Samford, which he led to a pair of Southern Conference championships and one NCAA tournament in his five seasons there. His overall record there was 99-52, and he led Samford to four-consecutive 20-win seasons.

 

UCONN killing it in the 1st half, up by 20 points over UCLA

 

It appears UCONN was ready to make a statement and they certainly had their way with the Bruins.

 

i didn't watch UCLA/UCONN 2nd half, it was clear that UCLA wasn't going to be competitive with UCONN last night.

 

Nebraska just won over Boise State 79-69 to play the winner of Villanova or Central Florida in the finals. Congratulations AJ.

 

Just watching the highlight film on YOUTube of the Duke-Houston game. A wild and unpredictable finish to the game in the waning seconds. Now the hate and fan media begins. which is a very troubling to me but I guess Duke is not any different than any other college program?
