I would think that losing to Central Florida after being up 17 points would be something to worry about for Texas but nope it is the upside down Hook Em Horns sign that pisses the coach off.   

The only important thing is if they got to sing their choo-choo song after the game.

I don't want to make light of the Terrence Shannon situation at Illinois, but the judge who ruled in his favor today is named Colleen Lawless.

I could totally see a Judge Lawless as a villain in Judge Dredd. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if there has been one.

If you start to see a dramatic drop in the number of crowds storming the court after a big or even marginal win these days, you can thank Ohio State for this.  After a big win on national TV against Iowa, the fans stormed the court as expected.   One of them apparently didn't feel like paying attention and it resulted in Caitlin Clark getting trucked and possibly injured

Yeesh.

Chicago State's arena has 7000 seats in it, which is more than 4 arenas in the American (Florida Atlantic, UTSA, Tulane, Rice), 8 Atlantic 10 arenas (including Loyola Chicago), is 100 fewer seats than a Big 12 arena (Houston), is 39 fewer seats than Northwestern's arena, 233 fewer seats than a Pac 12 arena (Stanford).

Don't worry, this project came together is a very Illinois fashion:

Quote

The convocation center is unique among Illinois university athletic projects, as Chicago State University itself did not need to raise any money for the project; the money was allocated from the State of Illinois Treasury by then Senate President Emil Jones.

also, the idiots saying Clark flopped there must be thinking that she's gonna split her time between the WNBA and WWE when that time comes

(you know there's some TKO person who annoys WWE people by suggesting crazy ideas like getting big time WNBA stars or Katie Ledecky to wrestle for the WWE)

Should've been eliminated 30 years ago.

Why are you against FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN? Isn't allowing people to have FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN more important than preventing something with an the off the charts risk of becoming a catastrophic event like a riot or people being trampled to death (and there have been people who ended up as vegetables during these idiotic court/field stormings)?

It should also be noted that IUPUI beat Mercy by 12 in December

The bot that's setting these lines has clearly gained sentience and is simply trying to communicate its desire for death.

Caitlin Clark broke the NCAA* women's career scoring record with a career-high 49 points against Michigan. The record was broken on a transition 3 from about 30 feet. Completely ridiculous shot. 

Clark is now 99 points shy of passing Pete Maravich for career NCAA points. 

 

* - as you may or may not have heard, the actual women's college scoring record is held by Lynette Woodward, who scored 3649 points for Kansas in the years before the NCAA recognized women's basketball.

Legendary Maryland basketball coach Lefty Driesell passed away today.  While he didn't make Maryland the UCLA of the East like he promised, he definitely put Maryland on the map as a top ACC team during the 70s and 80s

Actually it's held by Pearl Moore, who scored a phenomenal 4,061 points at Francis Marion in Florence, SC (now D-II) between 1975-79 under the auspices of the NCAA women's predecessor, the AIAW (Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women). Clark is amazing but she isn't topping that.

I was lucky when at American that I got to cover a couple of games Lefty coached when he was at James Madison and both JMU and AU were in the CAA together at that time

Mizzou’s AD is jumping to Arizona (which is her alma mater).

This would be bad news for Dennis Gates, whose Mizzou team hasn’t won an SEC game. But Gates has a contract with a massive buyout so a new AD probably can’t fire him for awhile.

Yeah, I should've specified D1.
