I've watched this a few times, but I can't tell what Katz is asking, and did he do something earlier to piss Boeheim off?

Couple o' things.  I'm not a fan of Andy Katz but I think this is a very one sided story because ESPN is staying mum.

Boeheim betrayed his player's confidence in confiding in Katz "Off the Record."  It's easy for Boeheim to grandstand at a press conference with the leverage to show his "loyalty" to his players and to show potential recruits that he stands behind his players.  What he did was sell out his own player then resort to this petulance and ego where he knew Katz was in no position to defend himself.  I don't know the real story but Boeheim should not come out of this viewed as some protector of student athletes.

Man, when this story first broke, I heard that it was about Boeheim disclosing the reasons for the ineligibility of one of his players.  My mistake, though that makes more sense than the Bernie Fine thing.  Katz may have been overly persistent but it is not up to the interviewee to dictate the terms of an interview.  Boeheim could have just walked away instead of holding a grudge for a year and a half then act like a petulant bitch.

I have never gotten sick of Dickie V ever, until tonight during the KY /Mizzou game and I got sick of him talking. Good God I have tolerated his love of the dookies, but he was pulling fur KY so hard and worshipping coach cal it just got to me. Plus, he said the word popcorn about 15x in a 30 second span and I thought I was going to lose my ever loving fucking mind

Oh lord I'm so happy you said that.   I wondered if it was just me being a homer but it felt like he was doing a Kentucky radio broadcast.  WTF?   I'm not violent but  I wanted to punch him.

Well Ruckus, I have to say I was nervous about this game coming in.  And then, seeing Illinois' hot start didn't subdue my nerves any.  Michigan came out in another gear in the 2nd half and really put the Illini away in the final 10 minutes of the game. 

Now I have to actually hope OSU beats Sparty...

Man you guys bring out the worst in us.  I'm glad we got stomped in the second half.  It's frustrating to watch our two senior leader guards (Richardson and Paul) just not show up with any hustle or energy.  The thing is you guys didn't play all that well either but we had some consistent problems with two of your offensive sets in the second half while we were just awful offensively.

Dan Dakich is unlistenable btw.  I wanted to throw things at the tv.  Didn't think I could miss my BTN coverage so much.  Good luck to you guys.  I'm not too concerned about our tourney chances anymore but would be nice to have a good showing in the conference.

Andrew Wiggins won the Naismith Award as the top high school b-baller in the US. First time ever for a Canadian. He's the brightest prospect since LeBron. Look for him to choose either Kentucky or Florida State for next year (he'll go No. 1 in 2014).

Good to know its not just me who can't stand Dakich.  His power rankings are an absolute joke.

Michigan certainly wasn't at its best, but I thought defenively, save the first 10 minutes or so, was the best I've seen Michigan play in a while...

That's a good point.  You guys really bothered us with your half court trapping and took us out of our offensive rhythm.

What's happened to Stauskas.  He seemed to be a bigger part of your offense earlier in the season no?

[iLikeBeer]

What's happened to Stauskas.  He seemed to be a bigger part of your offense earlier in the season no?

I think it's a combo of him maybe hitting a wall as a freshman, and even more a result of facing you're defenses in the conference portion of the schedule.  He was on fire in non conference action shooting close to 60% from deep.  But he's only shooting 35% in conference play.

Oh, and thank you to IU for keeping the conference championship race open...

Did anyone watche the KU Iowa State game?    What a joke.   

Side bar:   I think the "home court" calls in college basketball is geting out of hand.   It's tough enough to play on the road, but these refs have NO BALLS when it  comes to making a call against the home crowd, ESPECIALLY in the last few minutes of the game.   I think it's a joke.    Please discuss, back on slightly related topic:

The reason for the side bar, is that it seemed the entire game, Kansas was getting the home court calls but they were playing at Hilton Coliseum!    It's like the Big 12 decided they wanted KU to keep a number one seed in the tourny.  WTF?    The NCAA came out with a statement, but tell that to this kid:

Iowa State kid cries after another loss

Worst officiated game of the year.

This happened in Stillwater, too. It was like the refs thought they were in Lawrence!

As you can see Crispy, I'm having a hard time weening myself away from the Big 12.   I'll get there eventually but these things just don't happen overnight.    My two favorite teams are still Mizzou and whoever is playing Kansas.

So Gonzaga may very well be #1 come next week. I havent seen them play this year, are they actually legit?!

Here's the bullshit no call. That's a CHARGE, and even if you are Homer Jayhawkref, it's a BLOCK. But no call in the final seconds? Then ISU called for the foul in the loose ball scramble? Bullshit. I knew right then and there that KU was going to get the help they needed to win.

CFTV: No call between Georges Niang and Elijah Johnson
