Purdue trying to come back...

…but Craig Austrie isn’t letting them. XU-ICDSMs is going to be a slugfest.

I don't know...

…one of my good friends from UF is from Kentucky originally and his dad is a UK alum. He seems to think Donovan will go this time. Why? I really don’t know. Maybe he needs THAT much of a challenge.

It cant be that much of a challenge at UK.....

UF was a bigger challenge for him.

as I arrived on campus just before he did and remember how bad it was. Many nights I’d walk by the O’Dome, realize there was a game and just walk in and sit in the best seats in the house. But there’s just so much unneeded drama around that UK program right now.

That wasn't said...

…but considering one of the UF tweeters said he’s heard from reliable sources in Gainesville that Jeremy Foley has contacted Anthony Grant, you have to think it’s coming.

Hmm sounds like our team

I’m just trying to figure out how we match up against them. They are definitely playing their best ball of the season, that’s for sure.

Kinda streaky at times shooting the ball.....

So what are the repercussions to UCONN going to be

If it is found that they indeed had numerous recruitment violations? Will they be forced to vacate this season’s wins? Will they be put on probation and be excluded from the tournament next season?

LOL thats probably why Calhoun was "ill"

found out he was getting “found out” and he had a stroke.

They won't have to vacate any wins for this year...

…since Miles didn’t actually suit up for them. Probation, postseason ban, and a loss of scholarships will probably hit them if the NCAA finds against them.
