**NCAA Basketball Thread**

[Rodey]

Imagine cheating in this era and being shitty with nothing to show for it.

[snow1868]

Imagine cutting ties with a coach from a previous staff (Brad Underwood), not playing players that were named in the investigation, and then after two years being banned from postseason play because you're not a blue blood program.

This is bullshit. I'm really curious what happens with Kansas, as they're alleged with multiple Level 1 violations. I expect nothing happens.

This is the problem with penalties these days. Current administrations get penalized for past mistakes. But what's the alternative?

[kydmb99]

Going to be peak NCAA when scum programs like Kansas skate free after Oklahoma State takes it in the ass

I cannot believe that Tom pulled this off.

Bates might never even suit up in college, but oh my god

[SmoothD41]

UConn in their rightful place back in the Big East.

[aeroshady]

This thread popping up just reminds me of how Rutgers had finally made the dance in a year where it all got cancelled. The most Rutgers thing ever...

Would love to see him play a season at MSU with Izzo.

Got to be brutal as a fan. Also feel bad for Dayton.

I'm looking forward to seeing Arizona's new style next year, lots of new talent but no 1 and dones, lots of foreign players.

Maybe I'm just looking through green and white colored glasses, but it's more likely than people think that we could have him for two.

It seems like a given that he's going to reclassify to 2021, meaning he'll play the 2021-22 season at MSU. He's publicly denied interest in doing the G-League thing, and after 21-22 he'll be too young to enter the NBA Draft, and it's expected that the one and done rule won't be changed until 2025 now. It's entirely in the realm of possibility that Emoni Bates does two years at MSU. I'll believe it when I see it, but it could happen.

Still stings. Especially because they won't be nearly as good this year (or ever again)

The one and done rule just says the athlete has to be one year removed from high school, I believe. I'd say zero percent chance he stays a second year.

The g league looks to have some good players. Wonder if it'll catch on more now. I'd still prefer to play in Europe/China/Australia.

I wonder what the season is going to look like.

[SmoothG]

Not much news going on but I'm excited that Marshall Henderson is back at ole miss on the coaching staff. Legend.

[kydmb99]

Wild that he stil has a job. Miller too.

It appears Lute Olson might be close to the end. He's been in bad health for years but sad to hear. Absolute legend in Tucson.

[SmoothG]

RIP Lute. That 97 run was pure magic.

[Rodey]

Sad to hear about Lute. Honestly could have sworn he passed away a few years ago for some reason.

[clayj41]

I remember waking up the morning after the '97 title game and watching the taped ending on VHS before school because I didn't have it in me to stay up and watch live. I was so happy to see UK go down.

RIP Lute.

[SmoothD41]

Arizona was maybe my favorite non-IU program growing up. I loved their court, their uniforms, and I just remember them being entertaining to watch.

[SmoothG]

Nice to see some love for Lute. Late 90s, early 00s were a great time to be in Tucson. So many great memories, bit nostalgic for those days.

[mthawk07]

John Thompson died.

[SmoothG]

First African American coach to win a national title.

Had a 97% graduation rate.

RIP JT.

[Rodey]

Man, a couple of coaching giants with in a few days of one another.

Pretty touching words from AI on Twitter.

Thanks For Saving My Life Coach. I’m going to miss you, but I’m sure that you are looking down on us with a big smile. I would give anything just for one more phone call from you only to hear you say, “Hey MF”, then we would talk about everything except basketball.......

[SmoothG]

Looks like November 25 is going to be the start date. Wooooooooo!

Shocked to learn that Gregg Marshall is a piece of shit

It's always easy looking back to say "well that makes sense" but yeah not really shocking (folks!) in this case

[UNLTrpt]

I wonder if thats why he hasn't moved on from WSU

[SmoothG]

Gregg marshall: my coaching style isn't for everyone.

Fair play, I'm not into getting punched or choked, personally.

Yeah, looking back at all those transfers now.
