Rhom Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Jarred Vanderbilt of Kentucky was injured in practice yesterday and is "day to day." Much of the speculation in the fanbase is that the injury is actually worse than that, but the team is keeping it underwraps so the selection committee won't bump them down a seed line or two. Sounds like I'm prepped for a short March and I'm all in on the Murray State bandwagon now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrum Aeternum Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The smoke around the Penny Hardaway-to-Memphis rumor has turned into a brush fire. Gary Parrish reporting that Penny is already putting together a staff of assistants which possibly includes...Larry Brown? Tubby's buyout would cost a small fortune (around $10 million), but would arguably be worth it to inject some life back into that program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when I actually remember to schedule half days during the NCAA tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Saw that earlier... just in time to meet up with OKState in the conference tourney! This year is awful. And then you have UNC projected universally as a 2 seed in the NCAA tourney when they are a 6 seed in the ACC. Makes sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Murray is projected at a 13. This is the first year where I think i would prefer they get a 16 seed! Give me a first round match up with Xavier. I will take that. Yeah, they’re a good team... but let’s be honest, they aren’t athletically leaps and bounds above some mid major champs. Instead, as a 13 I saw a projection where they play Arizona first. Those guys look like they eat cheerleaders from mid majors for breakfast and then leap over the heads of the basketball team. Seriously, Ayton is built like a brick shit house. I want neither of my teams anywhere near them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact his whole West region as of now is really stacked: 1. Kansas 2. UNC 3. Michigan State 4. Arizona 5. West Virginia 6. Kentucky i can’t see it actually shaking out like that, but that’s a pretty tough crowd. Gotta make our way back to the 4 line to avoid such a fate.

sperry Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Starting to think this is the year Virginia finally puts together a final four run. And I don't think there is any doubt Bennett is the best coach in the country. Dude has won the ACC 3 times in 5 years at freakin Virginia.

In our last topic I went over the stats on just how amazing their defense is. It really could happen this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I upgraded to digital x-rays in December. I replaced the viewbox in my adjusting room with a TV and a chromecast to display patient films. Today, it is playing the SEC tournament. Because I figure my patients want to see it... yeah... my patients... that's it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Ollie fired. I like the dude but this absolutely had to be done, and I'm glad they didn't waste any time. I've been hearing a lot of Dan Hurley rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Uconn and Pitt are gonna go hard after him once Rhode Island loses in the tourney. I hadn't realized just how bad the Panthers have become either, going winless in conference play. Pitt-Uconn was a pretty good rivalry not that long ago...sigh. The UNC love is pretty obnoxious this year. Yesterday while watching the game I remember thinking that I actually wouldn't mind Duke beating them. Ughh, I felt dirty typing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like it hasn't gained any steam in the national media yet, but Pitt hasn't even been able to get rid of Stallings properly yet. Apparently they decided to lowball him a buyout of $4.8M against the $9M that was in his contract or else they were going to fire him with cause. But the cause they are going with is him saying to Louisville fans in January that were harassing his players "At least we don't pay our players $100,000." So he has declined and dug in for a fight, arguing that is not even remotely enough to merit getting fired for cause, which of course is correct. If these things are true, and that's what is being reported so far here, Pitt has botched this royally, and it should send a giant red flag up to any coach who would consider taking over at Pitt.
