    Well, do you think he’s paying players at Kansas? He’s competitive and winning some games so he must be right? Can’t be that beyond his goofy persona, and poor clock management, that he can actually coach and motivate?

    I’ve seen no evidence that Les paid players. I have, however, seen evidence that WW is embedded in some nefarious stuff. I don’t like that for our school and I don’t want to be one of those who justifies it with the everyone else is doing it excuse.

    They don’t have direct evidence, and I’m not sure they want to find it. I hear what you’re saying, but I think you can find a lot of grey area to operate in (and probably all teams operate somewhere in the grey area). I think the speeding analogy is appropriate.

    Sadly, I think politics is generally worse.

    Well, if you had told me VCU would go 23 of 29 from the free throw i would have laughed. But they did.
    Tigers beat them in every other way but a 20% improvement is just pure dumb luck.
    But you did jump us on KenPom by us failing to cover (again).
    Was a good game though.
    Sorry for the childish fan behavior. Lotta cunts here.

    for all we know, wade is one of the cleaner coaches in big time basketball. i dont think its fair to condemn him at all.

    not that there is even anything wrong with paying, i hope wade pays the most

    Probably not even close. The big boosters here spend their money on football while at places like Lexington, KY, Lawrence, KS and Chapel Hill, NC they spend it on hoops,
