I did not know coach mike davis is assisting at Memphis
Hurley's stupid game plan pounding the ball into Reed cost him the game. As soon as Reed fouled out they erased a double digit lead. Dumb ...
Would of loved to see him in candy stripes one reason can't wait for Woody to be gone.
I mean zero chance we would have landed him if we were in the last 15 years before woody. Woody has got more players here than anytime in my life. They just need to hit this year. The “stars” from HS, and college awards the guys on our team have earned is insane.
Woody has the advantage of top-5 to 10 levels of money to pay players. Our previous coaches didn’t — we sure weren’t near the top of under the table cash payments.
Crean would have been pretty good in the NIL era. He landed some good recruits straight up without the NIL crutch.
Are you sure about that? Troy Williams, Noah Vonleh, Thomas Bryant ...
Coming off the Sampson debacle we were pretty clean. Nothing like the other big schools.
Tom wasn’t great, but he was operating in a different world.
Uncle Boo!!! Hell we cheated gettin hanner. Crean was bad at it mostly. Our current staff is primed for it. They really need to cash in on the talent this year!!
I'm just glad we self reported to the NCAA.
Really worked out well for us.
20 years later, Sampson is a perennial top 20 coach and what he did and what we self reported isn't even illegal anymore.
We don't have much to cheer about those 20 years, either. Turd City.
Yea I said pretty clean. Our NCAA probation ended in 2011, which included all sorts of rules compliance training/reporting, and getting caught during or right after that would be some serious trouble with the NCAA + embarrassment.
The key takeaway is we weren't close to UK, KU, UNC, Duke, and the other bigger programs in terms of paying players. In the NIL era we are right there with them. It's a massive difference.

My pet peace argument ….. “not even illegal anymore”. Dumbest argument evrrr!!! It’s the ADVANTAGE you get because others can’t do it. It’s like saying two of are shots would be three pointers now so really won that game in 1985 based on the rules today. And Im not talking about IU. I don’t even know what Sampson did for sure. Just hate that ridiculous argument.
should not the punishment fit the crime? the death penalty over something, again, that was no longer illegal just a few years later?
we didn't cheat on grades, pay players, pay handlers, bribe AAU coaches, etc.
It’s not a moral issue dude. For example…paying players. It’s not inherently wrong to pay for a person’s services. Our whole society is based on it. That doesn’t mean it was ok to pay players before NIL just because it’s ok now. It’s was still cheating because of the ADVANTAGE. And again, I’m not talking about IU. I have no idea if they were trested fairly. Just saying the fact that something is allowed now is irrelevant and a dumb argument. Louisville fans do that for losing their”title” for paying players. “Well, it’s legal now so to wasn’t cheating….” So dumb.
He would so kick your a**.
Self-reporting something trivial like excess texts/calls, which is the equivalent of going 1 mph over the speed limit, was not a good move.
We didn't get the death penalty, we lost just one scholly and had some other small and generally non-material penalties. The thing that really killed us was Sampson's out of control roster imploding and transferring, leaving us with a terrible APR (and more lost schollies) and almost no team left. Kelvin's recruiting pipeline went to zero too, we sure could have used the portal back then. Maybe Crean could have kept Crawford, who knows, but it was bad regardless.
Oh well that's behind us. McNeeley is annoying glad he lost.
I'm forever grateful that Hurley and UConn whipped Purdue last year, but it's about time he got T'ed up and had a game go like this. He's gotten way too full of himself and caught an awful lot of breaks the last couple years. Based on his comments in the post game press conference, some discipline might be coming his way.
