    They rebound like the devil, that's for sure.

    Ohio State wins over Valparaiso at home this evening 95-73, Devin Royal scored 31 points and was a terror on the boards. The Buckeyes needed this win this evening. Kentucky is next up Saturday on CBS.

    We are happy with undefeated men and women at this point. However, the schedule gets much more difficult real soon.

    Not a big surprise, the SEC has become a giant across most college sports, Football, basketball (M &W), Baseball, Softball, Track and Field, Women's Soccer might be a tick behind the ACC. There is a base of talent in the South and there is both a financial and leadership commitment to sports at SEC schools.

    It’s a surprise to me. It’s always been Kentucky and everyone else. Occasionally, Tennessee, and Florida. I mean Mississippi St?

    Jim Larranaga the MIam basketball coach stepped down this week and retired. Another victim to the changes in the sport due to NIL and the easy transfer.

    I see that 6 players are suing FSU coach, Leonard Hamilton, over NIL promises that were never kept.

    This NIL stuff is just crazy.

    The Aggies welcomed Terry and the Longhorns to SEC basketball last night 80-60.
    I'm pretty sure basketball will follow football into the sports grave for me, but I'll enjoy it a little bit today.
    ;)

    i watched a lot of that game, Scott, it was clear that the Aggies were the better team We're good but not great. Should make the NCAA's but not much else.

    That's what is great about College Basketball, nobody is getting out of a season unmarked. You are just flat out going to lose some games. But in the end it's what you do in the end that counts.
