Here’s Jeremiah Dominguez. A 5-foot-6 point guard for Portland State, who led the Vikings to their first NCAA Tournament. You’re the Big Sky Conference player of the year. And feeling good because … well… you’re 5-foot-6 and a conference player of the year.
And you’ve just been named an honorable mention all-American. Oh… but wait.
Wow. Just…wow. I’ve seen days of brutality in college basketball that would test the wills of mere mortals, but Thursday the 13th truly was a unique experience.
Seemingly every bubble team with something to prove went out and laid an entire carton of eggs on the floor. Mississippi, Florida, Villanova, Arizona State, Oregon, Massachusetts, Baylor, Dayton…the [...]
As we sit here in the aftermath of the Kelvin Sampson resignation/buyout, the question has been raised by numerous commentators and fans — exactly who was responsible for bringing a known cheater to Bloomington to take over a program known for its adherence to NCAA rules?
Even before Sampson took the ziggy, we’d already seen IU [...]
The brackets are a day late this week? Why?
Well, it’s mostly because the at-large pool is so horrific. Not only are there teams in this week’s field that have no business being in a championship tournament, but those teams are nearly impossible to seed properly.
Yes, the reality of this week’s bracket is that it’s [...]
I’m always hesitant to take anything Andy Katz says at face value, particularly when there’s not a source attached to it (Remember the fiasco prior to IU hiring Sampson? Yeah, exactly). However, if Andy Katz is correct this time, things are about to get pretty goddamn ugly in Hoosierville.
Multiple news outlets reported on Tuesday night [...]
Somehow this story slipped through the cracks over the weekend, but the Washington Post has reported that the NCAA Division I-A Athletic Directors Association instituted a written policy mandating that athletic departments interview at least one minority candidate for open head coaching positions in football.
Of course, this is a derivative of the so-called “Rooney Rule” [...]
My apologies to the bracket crowd - I’m far, far behind where I normally am this time of year in terms of bracketology. Unfortunately, this is a terrible year to be behind in — the brackets look even more out of sorts than usual.
Anyway, enough delaying. Here are the brackets, as of the games of [...]
Cast: Galen Clavio, Scott Caulfield, John Koluder
Topics: We chat about the Mitchell Report…duh. Also, some talk about the Michigan coaching search, IU basketball, and the college basketball season as a whole.
NOTE: The damn Podcast software isn’t working, so here’s a direct link to the podcast. Sorry for the inconvenience, we’ll get this fixed.
Cast: Galen Clavio, Scott Caulfield, John Koluder, Nicole Hays
Topics: A veritable smorgasboard of items, including the Sean Taylor murder investigation (or lack thereof), what Mizzou-Oklahoma means to the BCS, the Big Ten’s problems against the ACC, some NFL talk, and more.
This is all speculation, trust me on that. Yesterday Nebraska AD Tom Osbourne flew on a chartered plane to Baton Rouge, LA apparently to interview LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pellini. The plane then left to fly to Atlanta to meet with their coach searching firm and, presumably to interview Buffalo head coach Turner Gill. Huskernation [...]
