Think of it this way: had Tubby not bailed on Tech, Beard takes UNLV to the NCAAs as a low seed in his 1st or 2nd year there, then heads to a major conference school the year after.

He wouldn't have been there this year anyway.

Tech looks unbeatable right now. If Culver has a mediocre game and they still easily defeat Michigan State then I'm not sure how Virginia can beat them. The style of game they play is perfect for Tech's defense. You'd need a team that could run them out of the gym.

Yeah if Gonzaga couldn't score on Tech them I don't see how Virginia will be able to, but who knows--maybe Guy will go nuts. Helps that Virginia has three ball handlers, it's tough to pressure them and steal from them. But at this point Tech has to be the favorite.

Kansas losing the Big 12 streak to a national champion makes a better and more digestible story.

i love the broadcasting people's barely concealed disgust for this matchup. sometimes they don't even bother to conceal it. i hope ratings are poo poo

it's like the 2007 NLCS, rockies v diamondbacks, mountain time zone showdown. i assume it had the lowest ratings in years, and that was awesome

anyway go hoos, fuckin' still playing and poo poo. and not in that one tournament we did to get a few more home games with sean singletary back in the day, we're playing real games

edit: it was the 2008 CBI. we lost to bradley, who went on to lose 2 of 3 to tulsa

I would guess he'll stay in but you can hire an agent and come back now as long as you end the relationship with the agent before next season.

If you get an combine invite you can actually stay in all the way through the draft and still come back if you go undrafted too.

Oh good. If he gets feedback that he could be a 1st round guy I hope he goes, otherwise come back Carsen, it's going to be a good team next season.

Im curious to see what the AD does. He’s already the second highest SEC coach. So they match Calipari’s salary or beat it?

Seems like a bad idea in that he probably won't be worth that going forward, but a good idea in that Tennessee needs to keep whatever goodish coaches they have.

Barnes did interview at least it sounds like. If he's going to leave this would be a good time, I guess. They're most likely losing a ton and like others have said he's already pretty old.

I don’t see Tennessee making Barnes the highest paid NCAA basketball coach.

That's a tough one, especially since the other good candidates (Oats, Buzz Williams, Musselman, Sampson) have either been snapped up or signed extensions. Maybe you let him go if you think you can get Dawkins or Cronin?
