You have to love how “the people’s republic of basketball” operates though. No transparency, random rule making, operating on their own time frame and hiding under every freaking box they can find. Who are these people that have zero accountability?
Oh I forgot they have to protect…BLAH BLAH BLAH!!
It’s way early and injury caveats apply, but man we’ve got a real nice B1G schedule this year.
7 games against Iowa, Rutgers, Nebraska and NW.
Plus no trips to Bloomington or Madison. Home games only.
Great opportunity to get 12-13 conference wins this year IMO. Hopefully even more.
Pass me some of that
Penn State wins at Georgetown
Texas wins at Purdue
Georgetown handles Texas on a neutral.
Makes sense
So this means Penn St is final four. That’s all I can infer.
The perennially stalwart Hawkeye defense—spearheaded by the cheetah-like quickness of Jack Nunge, Luka Garza, Ryan Kriener, and Jordan Bohannon’s right hip—held the vaunted Osprey offense to under 70 points.
“Devastated” is when a tree falls on your mom, Tom. Disappointed is when Joey Hauser can’t shore you up at forward.
Ah yes, noted player transfer rights activist Tom Izzo is so fed up with the horrible unjust transfer rule that he is willing to personally sacrifice his seat with the NABC.
I’m sure Tom has years and years of advocating these beliefs, right?
Spoiler alert: no.

2013: Including this gem - "If your dead brother’s uncle’s sister’s cousin is sick, you get a waiver”
2016: “if it (transfers not having to sit) happens, Izzo has said, he won’t stick around to see it”
2017: “Michigan has a good team but they lack a big man, and we have a bad team,” Izzo said, speaking hypothetically. "So what are they going to do, at semester come over and get Jaren Jackson and bring him over to there?”
2019:
Excellent digging!
Well done! I enjoyed all that.
Hauser’s transfer wasn’t originally seeking a waiver but expected to sit out a year, as I understand it. Waivers do seem to be fickle, and Izzo is pissed that he couldn’t get one for Hauser after the family raised it. Understand his frustration, but not why resigning from NABC is a rational response.
This is an eviceration
A service to us all.
Brilliant take down!
Penn State trails Yale 31-21 at the half. Weird.
PSU ends the game on a 12-0 run to win by two. Wow.
