Only team on there that has played us, and he's friends with Miles. All signs point in that direction.

You mean a thank you vote? I'm betting he would like to play Tim every week. And speaking of thank you votes, doesn't Boeheim owe us one too?

My premonition tells me it is Matt Painter from Purdue...Big Ten taking care of their own.

I agree, Painter seems the logical choice.  But not as a B1G brotherhood kinda deal, more as a thank you for beating hated rivals Indiana.  Remember, they'll be battling each other for the league title this year.

both CU and  Purdue benefited directly from our week, so either one's plausible.
