Best case scenario.

Washington State loses to Iowa State to give the Pac 12 its first loss of the tournament after the conference started 6-0. 4 1st round wins by the four qualifiers, a First Four win by Colorado, and Arizona’s 2nd round win over Dayton earlier today. A much better showing for the Pac 12 than is usually the case.

Illinois beat Dubuque. Pretty good win.

Nah.

Lots of rumors out there that AJ Storr is gonna transfer from Wisconsin after only one season.

Came in last year from St. John's, looking for stability and to play close to home (Rockford, IL).

I guess we'll see. I'm guessing he's being tampered with, NIL and all that.

I have seen those rumors as well on Illinois boards.

Sounds like Ole Miss offered $800K.

UW's NIL budget for hoops is $750K total.

There's no way that's true.  I mean if Ole Miss is offering $800k, good on them, but I would imagine every serious school is at least near the $2 million range

Dukes v Duke?

I think people are going to have to get past the idea of "tampering."  There's no such thing.  It's nothing more than the free market at work.  

I get it, that the free market has not previously applied so directly to college athletics, but it's a whole new world now.

That's a UW problem

Correct.  Hate the system all you want, I wont disagree.  But its not tampering.  Your roster is being poached, and your school is trying to poach other rosters.

Damn it, dont make me love this assassin
