Hawai'i will become the 8th full-time member of the Mountain West Conference on July 1, 2026, it was announced Tuesday.

It's a notable change for the Mountain West, which needed an 8th full-time member to meet the NCAA minimum to remain a conference

Quote from A Few Good Men (1992)...

             "Why do you like them so much?!"

        "Cuz they stand on a wall..... And they say:
     'Nothin's gonna hurt ya tonight...Not on my watch.' "

KY manages to edge the Blue Devils. 

DUKE will improve.  Watch...

Opening a can of worms?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Six former Florida State basketball players sued Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton on Monday, alleging he failed to make good on a promise to get each of them $250,000 in name, image and likeness compensation.

The plaintiffs -- Darin Green Jr., De'Ante Green, Cam'Ron Fletcher, Josh Nickelberry, Primo Spears and Jalen Warley -- filed suit in Leon County circuit court, and their attorney, Fort Lauderdale-based Darren Heitner, shared the 20-page complaint.

The former players allege
Hamilton promised them the money from his "business partners."
The lawsuit says they walked out of a practice last season over
the missed payments and intended to boycott a Feb. 17 game
against Duke. They ended up playing -- the Seminoles lost --
amid a guarantee from Hamilton that they would be paid
but they never were, according to the suit.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!
Hope 2024 was good to you and 2025 will be even better!

I enjoyed a good year . . .

Thanks    A culmination of dedicated hard work to be sure...

I'll try to stay profitable again in 2025, but duplicating those lofty records shown above or even close might be a bridge too far... If I was to predict I would say it is unlikely to achieve those same levels in 2025...  Of course, I do hope I'm wrong about that, and in any case I will enjoy the new challenges 

BoL with your bets today!!

UConn coach Geno Auriemma moved into a tie with Tara VanDerveer for the most appearances with one school in the women's basketball AP Top 25 as the Huskies remained seventh in the poll Monday.

Auriemma has now led UConn to 627 appearances in the poll in his 40 years at the school, matching VanDerveer's mark at Stanford before her retirement.
