March Madness

Coach Tim Miles has turned every place around he's been. I hope someone doesn't wave a bunch of money in his face to go somewhere else.

Those boys a good head on there shoulders. All 3 have made it there mission to turn it around. Shavon Shields is pre med major and his dad is former NFL player Will Shields. I just don't see any of them leaving but you never know.

Creighton has been huge disappointment this year. After they smoked Villanova they were a shoe in for conference title and couldn't get it done. Curious to see how good they will be next year with McBuckets gone.

That happen here with Ohio U last year. Good coach in John Gross Illinois came made him a offer and left I hate seeing that. I like seeing these teams like these mentioned come out and do good. Plus side for him he's already in a good conference and hopefully these boys hang around and it'll entice other good players to roll in.

One thing that make those boys run off early is like what happened with OSU and Deshaun Thomas. He's over seas now making money playing pro ball instead of staying here and possibly making it pro here, I think he couldve made it. One boy that played around here went D1 a couple years ago was getting calls his senior year in high school to come play in Spain. Instead he went Akron. Which the one u mentioned has no money issues it sounds like so he's probably a 4-5yr player.

Creighton wont be that good next year I doubt and I don't see them or nova goin far in the tourney. Even though id like to see Creighton make it aways

I look for Kentucky to take out Wichita State, and I believe Florida takes it all. The way they get after it defensively is impressive.

I'm with you zyoung. I hate to see coaches get bribed away from universities that aren't able to pay the big bucks. Illinois had this done to them twice over the last 12-15 years. Lon Kruger left for the NBA and Illinois then hired self. self hangs around until north carolina comes slinkin' into kansas and Williams leaves for north carolina and kansas comes slinkin' into Illinois offerin' big bucks and self slithers off to kansas.

Illinois in turn goes after Bruce Weber at Southern Illinois, gets him to come to Champaign but that doesn't work out over the long haul and Illinois fires him and goes after John Gross and bribes him to come to Illinois. I hate to see this happen over and over but big time college sports is a very dirty business.

Looks like u got ur wish CIRF the only thing is witchita st and Kansas st COULD face off in 3rd round.

Louisville and SMU got hosed. BYU should've never got in one of their best players is out and SMU was just ranked in the top 25 last week.....that's weird.

I think Duke is gonna have their hands full with Mercer. They play alot like FGCU from last year

It's no secret that Roy WANTED to go back to UNC........I'm pretty sure there were just as many trips and phone calls FROM Lawrence as there were too Lawrence.

But I agree with you on coaching being a dirty business..........Anytime big money is involved, everything has the potential to get dirty.......College hoops , no exception!!!

And then there was 16.

Who would've thought we would see a 10/11 seeds face off? Especially when the 11's that are left barely even made it in. It's been interesting
