In less than 10 minutes, Trevion Williams put Rutgers' big in foul trouble, scored 12 points, and is generally unstoppable.

Purdue down 5 with 3:30 left in the first half... Not looking crisp.

Ethan Morton is probably the best Pittsburgh area HS player since DeJuan Blair, and he resisted every opportunity to go to some random prep school.  He went to a rural school like 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh too, not a city school like Blair.  Kind of bummed to see him waste away on the bench, but suddenly he's getting big minutes?

Holy hell

FFS.

That was as good an ending as you see. Down goes Purdue

Titus & Tate discussed elevating Purdue without having played a true road game, tongue in cheek.  Maybe there is something to it?

Of course there is something to it. Road games are hard - doesn't matter where. Any road win is precious.

Auburn basketball’s Bruce Pearl won’t coach Saturday due to a two-game NCAA suspension, and former Nebraska assistant Wes Flanigan will take his place against the Huskers.

Good first half between the Buckeyes and Badgers.  Buckeyes are scorching the nets, shooting 58% from the field, but keeping the Badgers in it by turning it over 9 times.  34-29 Buckeyes at the half.

Seems like they didn't miss him so far.

I'm not convinced he's much of an in game Xs and Os guy.  He's more of a cheater recruiter

I've wondered what the effect of also including a one year sit out rule for coaches, that if you hire a head coach from another school he has to "sit out" a year.  Can still recruit, game plan, go to practices, but couldn't be there, or communicate on game day.  Would it (a) dissuade schools/coaches from going that route, and (b) how much would they be missed?

I kinda disagree. His teams tend to play a particular identity, and they're often good at it. He won big at small schools. He's honestly not had many pros considering how he cheats on the trail. 

Not saying his teams aren't talented, but he seems to wring things form sometimes uneven rosters through style and approach.

I think he's definitely a system/scheme guy.  I'm not sure about his in game coaching
