Excellent get. 182nd overall player in the country is good, even allowing that recruiting rankings are not perfect, but he also has a very impressive offer list. So glad we have Garner...pay the man whatever he wants.

We should have beaten USC jr in the SEC tourney. I hated to see how hard Kellie took that. I really like her and want her to succeed, but if next year is the disaster we fear it may be without Jackson, a change will have to be made.
The team did improve from her earlier years, but has a long way to go.

2 East coast teams? Good luck
I thought about it some more the other day....Gonzoga is on the West Coast, so its for that game. In which case, why not make that the late game???? Long story short...CBS anticipates more $$$ from accommodating Purdue Gonzaga than UT Creighton. In fairness, although they are known to sometimes be good at bball, Creighton is hardly a household name, and our bball success, although recently we have done well, has not been consistent over time.

I'm sad that Indiana is not in the top 10. They have 5 NCs, and were briefly tied with Kentucky in the 90s for second most after UCLA. But since then, UNC, Kansas, and UConn have all won a lot of NCs, and UK has won 3 more, while IU has won zero. I guess technically they were no. 11 from the way the article was written, but I grew up rooting for them when Knight was their coach, and they have not been the same since.

Jackson saved Kellies job for another year by coming back. She missed 8 games early due to injury and we looked like crap....but won enough to save Kellies job when she came back. Stop and think what we would have looked like this year without Jackson. Ugly.
I was thinking it will be ugly without her next year

Just as importantly, since the 3 point shot has only been around about 40 years, this type of game only happens about once or twice every tournament between all 63 games. It was truly a historically bad shooting performance. Surely it couldn?t happen to Tennessee twice in one tournament!

So much of it is arbitrary now. I hate it.
The charge call has now become another to add to the list. DJ literally forcibly backs folks up 2 or 3 feet at a time by knocking them off their spot, yet a defender cannot even make glancing contact on an offensive player. The game has become completely about offense.
As a former coach, I also hate the replay rule inside of 2 minutes of each half. You teach kids that every play matters, yet with this rule it seems that the plays at the end matter much more. If they miss a call with 2:01 left in the half, it isn?t important enough to review. I would much prefer that they give a coach 2 replay reviews per half than to keep what they now use.
I could go on, but I will get off my soapbox now. Sorry for the rant.
You meant DK, right?

Cal has a 34 million buyout I read.....The whole state of KY isn't worth 34 million. Less than the $78 million that dumbo fisher got, but still no. 2 on the alltime list (the current Senator for Alabama got $22 million from Auburn )
