^ That looks like a preview of Murray State knocking off SIU on Friday in StLšŸ˜†.

I'm kind of disappointed we didn't get to play Kent State in that MTE now. Can't imagine the level of trash talking that would've gone on between our two squads.

It was Toledo that was in our MTE....but Kansas City knocked them off before beating us.

Which is the dumber move, trying to buy tickets claiming to be a charity for underprivileged youth, or when caught, trying to call out the ticket office and shame them knowing what you did?

I’m glad both moves backfired. And to all the idiots who rushed to Twitter and made judgments with only one side of the story, try taking a deep breath next time and actually thinking for once in your life and making an informed opinion. I know it’s rare this day and age but you could try.

Wolken is usually pretty good, but that article was shit. Was all over the place and didn't really have any point besides probably pointing fingers at some coaches that don't speak to him.

NIL is good. Got it. Water is wet. More at 11.

Fundamentally, I find NIL to be bad -- now, the schools could find some way of creating a program to "enhance" the current system but the NIL today is a f**king mess.

NIL is bad, Arizona water is dry. And what's presented at 11 for news will vary according to the channel!
 
More craziness in Las Cruces...

New Mexico State men's basketball has canceled Saturday's game at Cal Baptist and suspended its season indefinitely following "new allegations" within the program, according to a statement from the school.

The new allegations have prompted an investigation by the school and led to the coaching staff being put on paid administrative leave, the statement said.

The Aggies have been embroiled in controversy since November, when forward Mike Peake shot and killed a New Mexico student in self-defense in Albuquerque after he'd been lured to the campus. Per the school's statement, Friday's decision to suspend the season is separate from that case.
 
anybody watched the end of the Michigan State @ Iowa game? Iowa down 13 with 1:30 to go. MSU hits 9-10 free throws to close out the game but Iowa hits their last 5 3 point attempts (plus they hit a couple before they missed one and got an offensive rebound on it) to send the game to overtime 101-101.

MSU was at a 99.6% win probability with a minute to go

correction MSU was 12-14 from the line in the last 1:30 but Iowa made 6 threes plus an "and one" and a couple of free throws to force OT. Now it looks like Iowa is going to pull it out. Lunardi probably has them as a 2 seed now....

Wow. I thought we were bad at holding leads. Good job by "the great one" Izzo!!

What made it crazy was MSU didn't really play horrible with the last 1:30. If you have a 13 point lead and you hit 10-12 free throws down the stretch you have to think your chances of closing it out comfortably are 99%. Could they have tightened up their perimeter defense? probably. But Iowa hit some contested shots that were low percentage that found the bottom of the net. Just an interesting ending.

Watching some of these ā€œhigh majorā€ teams, it really amazes me how poorly coached they are. So much standing around and watching. No ball movement, no screening. Just drive and kick. And sometimes not even drive.

It makes me wonder how HCJS would so at a HM school. Most likely he would either do extremely well as his teams would be the opposite of everyone else or he wouldn’t be able to convince any recruits to come play in his offense where they would have to be smart with the ball and JS would struggle.

My guess is he would do fine.
