kinda odd to hear from someone who was already a head coach in the Big 12 for a number of years

on the contrary, it makes sense for him to be paying lip service to the new conference for recruiting purposes

Tell me about the rabbits, George
Arkansas beat Purdue in an exhibition that raised money for victims of the tornadoes this past spring in AR. Foul trouble for Edey hurt, but they would have been fine if they could hit open 3s and FTs, especially in the 1st half.

Arkansas is going to be tough, they've got more shooters than last year, they've got a ton of length, and they swarm on defense.

Really exciting game to be at. Trying not to get too overhyped about Arkansas but I thought it was a total team effort and we may not have the name recognition from three HS 5* like last year but this seems like a much deeper team.

Do not want to play Purdue again, in a neutral court this game would be a nightmare. Edey is so tough to guard, you almost can’t do it.

this is a bitch move on behalf of the power conferences trying to shove more of their mediocre teams into the postseason and taking away the tiny reward schools in lovely conferences can get for having a great season that falls just short in the end

UCLA thrashed CSDH last night, as expected. Sebastian Mack was obviously the best player on the floor.

Yeah and Michael Jordan “probably” had some problems with losing

As an IU grad from the early 90's. I come not to praise Knight, but to bury Knight. He definitely was a product of his era, but he didn'tt sell out to get wins at least. He was Hayes grabbing a player by his helmet, he wasn't Paterno whistling past the shower.

He was without a doubt an rear end in a top hat and a bad person, but that kinda seems like the best case scenario for a major college sports coach from any era.

Nobody is good enough in their field to excuse being a gaping rear end in a top hat, but Knight was probably the closest you can possibly come.

Bob Knight inflicted Mike Davis on UAB. Davis was the luckiest son of a bitch ever for getting a championship appearance with Knight's players, because in reality, he's a great SWAC coach at best

I watched an interview Knight did with Letterman last night and he's actually a pretty funny dude. His reason for throwing the chair was really funny. Huge problematic rear end in a top hat but he was charismatic for sure.

Lots of people mistake bully for alpha so the usual type of people are chiming in on other areas to defend Knight and saying things like we need more coaches like that in the NBA which is just a dogwhistle.

Kayak is true
TTU beat A&M by a pretty decent margin in our exhibition against them in Denton. I'm not putting too much stock in that, but it's encouraging that our team may be able to finish mid-pack in the Big XII.

Also gently caress Bob Knight for sticking us with Pat Knight. The sweet sixteen year was a lot of fun, but I'm not going to wax poetic about the coach. Still, this was great:
