It's finally, mercifully over

And so the off-season of basketball BPONE begins.  

Michigan can't bring Howard back and then claim "we're the leaders and best".  It would send the complete opposite message to the alumni, fans, and sports world.  

Was this was worst men’s hoops season in memory - or in history?

This is the day that, under normal circumstances, fans would hear that the team’s coach had been fired.  We’re waiting.

This year's bball team was killing it until Juwan returned- then they fell off a cliff

FIRE Juwan Howand AND Warde Manuel both area a disaster

Buried and done.

I assume Dug will leave. Possibly Jace leaves (dependent on his dad). Reed could leave.

"Best" case next year:

Christian Anderson
GWIII
YoYo
Tschetter
Reed

I mean, obviously we have to go back into the portal for half the roster and find guys who are grad transfers, I guess.

So, no, this is not "over." We're still in the middle of it.

News that Louisville fired Kenny Payne was out around noon yesterday after a season ending loss to NC State Tuesday night.   They were 8-24 in his second season after 4 wins his first (and only 13-19 the prior year under Chris Mack).   He played on a national championship team for Denny Crum in the 80s and coincidentally has a son on this years roster.

Just sayin.

Thank you Penn State for mercifully putting an end to that season

The Howard hire was reasonable at the time, and looked great after two years and still decent after three. It might have worked out if some things had gone differently, but now it's clearly time to move on.

They say that all good things must end
Call it a night, the party's over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again🎶
