BYU just jobbed by the refs. Secondary defender left his feet but rule of verticality should have prevented the whistle. Arizona made both ft to close to within 2, but BYU just scored on a baseline drive and has a chance for the and one to go up 5 with 41.8 seconds left.

It's your question, so it is your rules.

Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi, Vandy, and Arky losses were not blowouts.

I have a hard time believing Terry's buyout is even that high. But we didn't have to pay Beard's buyout because he was terminated for cause. Terry won't be.

Except I'm not watching the game and I can't watch the game. How can I be said to fail a test when I can't even see the question?

Not Jordan here, but I don't have ESPN+, so why don't you tell me?

The younger Pitino recently said of the elder Pitino's now viral rant that it evoked PTSD of what he heard growing up when he didn't make his bed.

Let's get this on record. Terry was given a stacked deck. He went much farther with a team assembled by Beard than Beard did, but he was never going to get credit for it. He was given a team that was going to lose guys who had played in 651 D1 games and a pair of recruits who were going to back out of their commitments to go pro in April and left scrambling to fill a roster with 5th year transfers to keep it in the tournament one more year. He made the tournament again, and won a game in it again, but was faced with another rebuilding project. He had a great offensive but terrible defensive future NBAer coming in. He filled the roster with what he could because he didn't get the jack to get a quality big man or ankle breaking pg, the two huge needs. I neither praise Terry nor bury him. Had he received better support, then we might have a better team this year, but this team has not performed as well as was possible for the lineup assembled. We're replacing Terry at the end of the year. Of that, I am certain. I will always thank him for his contributions rather than pillory him for what some believe to be his shortfalls. It isn't everyone who will voluntarily leave a head coaching job to become an assistant at his former employer.

Damn you to hell for all eternity if you are willing to sacrifice our volleyball program.

Maybe not 22-5, but 19-8. We probably don't lose to Vandy, Arky, or Tennessee. Which is not to say that I would think 19-8 would be a good record if we had Toppin.

A supposedly savvy AD, a supposedly wealthy athletic department, a lame duck coach, a single HS recruit, and not much returning talent.

Gerry thinks Sean Miller. I say call in no particular order: Will Wade, McNeese Richard Pitino, UNM Ben McCollum, Drake Luke Murray, UConn assistant Don't laugh about Murray. Jon Scheyer and Tommy Lloyd never had HC jobs before going from assistant to HC at Duke and Arizona.

SDSU lost to Utah State 79-71, but no loss by a bubble team today was worse than ours. That was awful. We're still probably in a play-in game as of tonight, but Arky is on a mission, so look out. We're probably on the outside looking in going into our last 3 games.

Ok, if Larry can make one of two and get a steal and get fouled again just 15 more times, then we have a shot at this.

I don't see us winning 5 straight against Pomeroy 40-80 teams, so no.

He makes too much money to come off the bench and commit fouls on three point shooters.

Kaluma keeps driving into trouble and has nowhere to go with the ball.
