QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 01:20 PM) Or, seeing what was happening, they felt compelled to make a move before someone they wanted went elsewhere. I get Indiana has the name, but what is their roster/recruiting outlook? The Alford connection seems weak. Yeah, he's got the connection, but he's at a blue blood program with great players and has a great recruiting class next year. Why on earth leave that for Indiana and a semi-rebuild? It's his alma mater. Is there anyone out there who wouldn't dream about coaching their alma mater?

ND has become the masters of squeaking by in the 1st round.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) I'm actively rooting for Alford at this point. Let IU have a guy that doesn't overlap with the Illinois search. I'm very happy to see a stacked IU team with Kris Wilkes added in exchange for them not screwing up the Illinois search... Almost every name that has been "connected" with Illinois so far I'd rather have than Alford. Obviously who knows how much truth there are to these rumors but that's my opinion on that.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 11:23 AM) Crean fired. Don't like that from the Illinois side of things. I like how they waited until exactly 11:15 for the press release ha.

I haven't watched any of ST but hasn't Gio's fastball been fine up until today?

Holland seems like a cool dude. Happy he's on the team for this year.

What's your final four? I always like to predict mine first on this site so you guys know who not to pick. Mine: Nova Zags Louisville Kentucky

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 01:15 PM) I don't doubt your knowledge of the injury, but he hasn't played a baseball game in over 7 months. If it's going to take a few more weeks, then he's not ready for a major league season. He needs to play AAA baseball to rehab, and if he's ready, then bring him back. It's not like he's an established major league player. In this season for the White Sox, what's the difference with him rehabbing in AAA or just playing in the majors? I don't really care either way but I don't see too much of a difference.

On the Marshall front, it's at least worth noting that the Shockers have everyone coming back next year. And with the way they improved in the 2nd half of the season, they're going to be pretty special next season.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 10:54 AM) I don't think so either, though it does sound like they're going to try. And they absolutely should.

He just has such a great situation at Wichita. That said, the committee hasn't really respected them at all the last few years so maybe that'll make him want to move at some point. I guess we'll see.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 10:47 AM) I believe he actually makes more than double that, due to the Koch brothers. He makes 3.3. I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong if he goes to Illinois but I don't see it. But I've been wrong in this thread once or 428483928492 billion times.

Wichita 8th overall in Kenpom and 11th in Sagarin and a 10 seed. Kinda sucks for everyone including Wichita, Dayton and Kentucky.

MVC sadness.

You obviously shoot high if you're Illinois and I don't blame you for wanting him but Marshall isn't going there.

f*** ya.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 02:38 PM) I really like that move by Cleveland. They have like a billion dollars in cap space and just bought themselves a 2nd rd pick. Why the hell not?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 7, 2017 -> 09:28 AM) I'd give it to Harden. Honestly, depending on how you define MVP, I'm ok giving it to any of the 3 that have been mentioned here.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 2, 2017 -> 01:15 PM) This is such a problem. I don't have a problem giving up the long drunken Friday/Saturday nights I have a problem giving up the random 2-3 IPAs I have after a long work day with a friend/girlfriend. I've never been so disappointed in someone in my life.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 2, 2017 -> 12:09 PM) I'm not the least bit religious but usually give up something. I gave up Diet Coke this year. That said, since I'm dealing with surgery recovery and kicked booze 101 days ago, I'm going to go ahead and jump back on the soda train. f*** that. I am legit addicted to Diet Coke. It's not good.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 2, 2017 -> 09:53 AM) Conference was trash this year. We don't deserve two teams and I hate IlSt. I'm right. The conference was trash, Illinois State and Wichita State aren't trash. You can obviously hate ISU if you want but I always root for the conference and personally have no reason to hate ISU.

Starts tonight. Even with us being hot garbage for the last decade now this is still one of my favorite things to go to every year. If we can't win it, I'll cheer for the IlSU over WSU in a close game final to at least have a chance to get 2 teams in.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 07:08 AM) I truly hope KD is not hurt too badly, but it is not sounding good. I'm hoping for the best, as I think Cavs/Warriors with everyone healthy would be an epic series. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources-warri...-085809477.html The Golden State Warriors are bracing for the possibility that All-Star forward Kevin Durant could be lost for the rest of the regular season – or perhaps longer – with a left knee injury, league sources told The Vertical. The radio, ya know where all good sources come from. I actually missed your link to be honest and just saw your guys' posts so my bad. I've been sick the last few days, leave me alone.
