baylor becomes the first men’s basketball program to win a title and cover up a murder in the same century

You mean attempt to cover up a murder. We don’t know how many programs successfully covered up a murder in the 1900’s. Lots of fixing games with the mob back then!

Here's the story so far:
1. Howard Moore, longtime assistant coach for Wisconsin men's basketball, gets into a horrible car accident summer 2019. Alando Tucker, the Badger all-time career points leader who was in a student development position in the athletic department, agrees to fill in under short notice.
2. Kobe King leaves the program early 2020, makes a parting comment to Gard it wasn't about the strength coach using that racial word. Strength coach is fired, when it comes to light that the players that heard it informed Tucker who chose to keep it to himself.
3. Somehow, with no rhyme or reason, the team goes 9-1 and finishes with a share of the Big 10 title.
4. Pandemic.
5. Barry Alvarez announces his retirement, and Tucker is part of the search committee for the next athletic director.
6. During the entire 2020-21 season, Tucker attempts to undermine Gard in an effort to get himself promoted to head coach.
7. Part of that undermining is the leak of a closed locker room meeting between the senior class and Gard, which Tucker was suspected of releasing.
8. Tucker's not retained for this upcoming season.
9. I wish for the hutzpah of someone thinking after a year of coaching basketball at the college level thinking "Oh yeah, here's how I can get promoted." I would be unstoppable.

It's really cool that's a 6 game series. I'd say those are the two most reliable CBB programs that don't have a real strong in-conference rival, so you can get some real strong animosity and competitive games going in November/ December.

I'm going to be in Austin the week of 1/29 for work and I thought about seeing Baylor play at Texas on 1/30, but the cheapest tickets I can find are $100. Not paying that much for two teams I don't root for. If anyone knows of a cheaper place to get tickets, let me know. Maybe if I just wait until the last minute I can get something that's not super expensive.

For a single ticket, I wouldn't really look until two or three days before the game. You don't want the tickets that haven't been bought yet, you want the last minute "something came up and I can't find anyone" prices.

In November 2017 when Wisconsin's back court ran their knees into each other during practice, I knew we were going to lose a bunch but I could just watch Ethan Happ work in the post. He was doing cool poo poo to get buckets in a losing effort, but at least watching him be a living reference to 1960's post moves was fun enough. Now, I think we're going to lose and nobody's remotely entertaining enough to be worth the cost of admission.

Compounding matters, the Kohl Center production is tiring. Going from MAKE SOME NOOIIZE dubstub at the end of timeouts to get hyped for watching crisp chest passing around the 3 point line for the entirety of the shot clock just doesn't line up. We need an in-arena acoustic folk band, not a DJ.

I’d say incredibly easy for Wednesday and Thursday and maybe even Friday morning games. You might have some more people than usual because it’ll be the first one in the Twin Cities, but I went to the 2017 B1G tournament in DC. The only real packed game was Friday evening, Maryland against Northwestern.

I recommend it, too. It’s fun to hobnob with other Big 10 basketball sickos, have beers at the game, and bitch about the refs. I remember talking with some strangers that “yup, my dad and I have been to every conference tournament for the last bunch of years. So glad it’s in DC, we’ve been to Kansas City so many times.”

Yup. He was a Nebrasketball fan.
