So much for the theory that winning the NIT is a stepping stone to NCAA success the following year.

HuskerFever: I think you are being unfair to Joe. He deserves at least a month.

Worst final four ever? I think so unless you live in Philadelphia. Fortunately I taped it and could fast forward to the "One Shining Moment" part. And then found there wasn't one. What was up with that?

The NCAA is a self-perpetuating bureaucracy and ,as such, will never be effective in eliminating the excesses which would make their organization unnecessary.

And begin to organize the "raze the statue" protests.

I think I may have sent Coach Dale to the bench prematurely.

Moonlight's return: 7am, 3/29/18 First time all ML teams have same opening day in 50 years.

I'll admit Vucetic hurt but it was nothing when compared with the pall which surrounded Doc's program once it lost Shang Ping.

The Dons used to be really good. I remember watching them when the Jones and Russell kids played there.

It appears to me that Moos is blessed with a modicum of common sense. I would guess he will not be stampeded into either offering Tim an overly long or overly short extension until he sees what next year brings. It must come from observing how all of those cows behave.

Agreed, but I still want Penn State to win. Might even watch a bit of the game whenever it is. I wonder if they still play a game for third place? Anybody following the CBI series?North Texas State vs somebody, I think.

And Pitino will cater the parties for free.

Cip, I'm not sure this is fair since I changed my original vote at 11:03. Nevertheless I shall accept your Solomonic judgement. This will make a dandy Anniversary gift.

OK then, I now will go with April 12, 1pm. The prize will make a nice 49th anniversary gift for the wife.

I'll make my change after 10:00 this am today.

Craig Smith to Utah State (old news on HHC)and Tubby to High Point???!!(his alma mater).

Personally, if all the emphasis is going to be on the winner of the NCAA tournament, I would favor opening it to 128 teams and starting a week earlier to abolish all of the meaningless tournies. That would pretty much include any team who has players able to dribble with one hand and avoid the controversy about selection snafus like Nebraska got this year.

Newman's 31 unremarkable minutes against us and his performance yesterday should forever be used as a reason for the selection committee to put its crap about how "games- in- December- should- count- equally- with- games- in- March" to bed forever. If collegiate players and teams do not evolve and improve during the year, then why are coaches needed?

I'm sure Lunardi noted this and bumped us up to 312th place in his final standings.

Blabbitty, blabbity,blabbity blab...Sold Nebraska!

Speaking of Kimani, those who are interested will be glad to know he has been released from the Serbian jail and is back in Jamaica. The 40 year old center is trying to keep in shape and hoping to play overseas somewhere this year. He has probably ruled out Serbia though.

Yes, it is National Doughnut Day!

Could it have been because Nebraska made them cry?

Rockets have landed! Fun fact of the day: There are more teeth in The Syracuse than in the whole state of Missouri.

Heard one of the NIT announcers opine that Chris Mack would not be a big enough "name" to satisfy the Cardinal fan base.
