  @drgnslayr If I understand correctly, the NCAA can punish KU if they can prove that it was aware of the situation and let Alexander play anyway. From what I read, KU was as surprised as the rest of us and as soon as it was notified it sat Alexander. At this time and based on what I have read, I believe KU is in the clear…but then, I have no access to any inside information, only what is openly available.

  Conference Title or a loss in Final 4?

  @JRyman First, I hope you are feeling better. The question is difficult in KU’s case because the Conference Championship is one more building block in a run to break the all time record for Conference Championship in a row, an accomplishment that without exception all sport analysts consider to be a monumental accomplishment that will mean more than one single NCAA Title. A conference title represents continuous excellence throughout a season while a final four run involves having the right match ups and a good deal of luck…does anyone saw MSU making it to the Final Four or ConU…I mean UConn winning it all last year? I certainly did not and it took a lot of luck to get there.

  @JayHawkFanToo I see what you are saying and agree that the African American community needs to purge this word from the vocabulary. However, the analogy you used, of a white person saying the exact same thing about a black player is not entirely accurate. If Harrison would have used a derogatory word for white people in his comment, then it would be. I think in that scenario it would be a bigger deal, but still not as big as it would have been the other way around. Just the way it works in the minority vs majority dynamic I guess.

  @JayHawkFanToo Yeah… I think Kentucky is more scary next year and the year after that. I’m guessing the twins will leave Lexington with diplomas. Actually, I have a high degree of respect for the twins. Kentucky has some spoiled rotten super studs… but the twins have not had the easy road to where they’ve gone. They mostly just had size and athleticism going for them, but over the years they have received the very best coaching possible (and needed it) (BTW: not Cal)… for example, they have been with John Lucas since the 8th grade. Those guys have worked their butts off and will continue to improve every year. The real catch for Cal will have been the twins. I know everyone is bagging on them… but those guys get better and better and they bring experience to the team. Now… they will carry a definite chip. Take the constant away from Kentucky (the twins) and lets see how they do!

  @Statmachine 247 has their own ratings, but what is most followed is their composite of all ratings - aggregate something like 30 or 40. Some probably follow the AAU circuit closely, others probably are, as you say, clowns. But the wisdom of the crowds usually has some merit. Also important to track is the trend - a lot of the predictions are very stale - the more recent ones might have a touch more validity. Brown’s statement that he would only go to an Adidas school was recent - just guessing that many of the predictions predated that. Trending is that Brown will end up at UCLA - but who really knows. Diallo was trending to SJU post Mullins hire and his hire of the ISU assistant who was recruiting him.

  @drgnslayr The half of Kentucky that follows Louisville and other state team is probably rooting for Wisconsin as well; so maybe 49-1/2?

  I believe every College BBall fan that appreciates the sport and sees the damage that the squid and his OAD system has done, really enjoyed the Wisconsin win; I know I did.

  Reading the fan comments after the story left me confused. I hear them talking playing D and passing the ball. Do they really do that in the league? The once in a couple of years I ever watch a league game I don’t recall anything I’d recognize as D. And passing. It always seemed to me whoever brought the ball up court also shot the ball.
