Duke looked pretty solid today without Okafor. Jones/Cook is one heck of a back court duo. Good to see Grayson Allen get some quality burn as well.

Isn't Lubbock in no man's land?

I guess, but so is Ames, Iowa. I mean, not even a decent team in 8 years...

I said it more toungue-in-cheek, but yeah. Sadly, I didn't believe Duke would beat Mercer either. I was in a crazed state by the end of the game, but not surprised it happened.

It's going to give them plenty of excuses. Truth of the matter is things were falling apart before his suspension and things are going to be downright scary next year.

Jones...dismissed.
Harrell...gone to NBA.
Rozier...gone to NBA.
Blackshear...graduated.

They are going to struggle next year. I'm talking worse than UConn, Michigan and Florida this year struggle. Under .500.

@SportsCenter: Louisville G Chris Jones, who was dismissed from team, sent threatening text to woman, according to campus police. http://t.co/LPdU21DVos

If that text is all that happened, it's ridiculous that he got thrown off the team.

Louisville escapes Georgia Tech. Fairly entertaining game. Another brutally close loss for the Yellow Jackets.

Especially with Pitino's history with women.

Lol at Matt Stainbrook deciding fuck it and to tackle Chris Obekpa like a bear at the end of the game as time ran out on Xavier. How is he still eligible? I feel like he played with David West.

He has been fucking terrible that last few weeks as well. Needs to quit worrying about being such a hipster driving people around.

Fuck Maryland. Watching this game tonight reminded me of how glad I am they are no longer in the ACC. Melo Trimble is just the type of kid that would provoke my disgust for humanity.

And lol at their fans storming the floor in commemoration of beating the No. 5 team in the country. You are No. 14. Come on. If this is the Maryland I know, however, there won't be much more to celebrate.

Texas now 6-9 in conference play. They are @ Kansas next. Bet they're glad about extending Rick Barnes through 2018-2019.

But when you're coming off of a 7 seed and 2nd round tourney appearance, you've got to reward it.

Head football coach wins a national championship and after a couple of subpar seasons is fired. Head basketball coach gets to a Final Four 12 years ago and gets lifetime contract. It's certainly an interesting dynamic. What does it all mean? Basketball means nothing to the people of Texas. The Houston Comets probably still have a bigger following.

I've supported Barnes to a (very) small degree on here before, but what he's done with this group of talent is shockingly unacceptable.

Wait, so Jimmy Dykes is Arkansas' head women's coach? How in the hell did I miss that. Wow. That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. But I am certainly glad he's no longer analyzing shadow defenders on ESPN.

Rick Barnes and Jamie Dixon are the same coach IMO.

Jamie Dixon is way better than Barnes. Both underachieve in March. But, Pittsburgh is usually solid regular season team at least.

If Texas doesn't make an Elite 8 appearance in the NIT, Rick Barnes should be fired. If Texas does make an Elite 8 appearance in the NIT, Rick Barnes should be fired.

Bottom line, if Texas doesn't fire Rick Barnes this off-season then they never will. The Longhorns were considered a consensus top ten team heading into the year. This team is beyond a disappointment. It's a travesty.

Dykes has done a solid job with the women's program. It was awful.
