Fans who have some bit of sanity know that Bill Self will not go to Arkansas. He does have connections to the state, but seriously. As for why Gillespie won't be the next coach, you said it there. He already gave U of A the runaround 4 years ago, plus there is the alcohol issue. I have mixed feelings about Tubby Smith. I'm not sure he has anything left in the tank, but being able to compete with KY in the SEC might drive him to succeed. Those days of the Arkansas/Kentucky rivalry when it was every Super Bowl Sunday were epic.

As to why Arkansas is desirable:

The most rabid fanbase in the SEC outside of KY. A great basketball history (in SEC terms). A nice 20k seat arena and unlimited resources. Pretty decent recruiting base. It's not in the Big East. A top 5 recruiting class and a decent core returning.

Not to go offtrack, but the fanbase is not that delusional as the national press would suggest. I think our former football coach is proving the fans in Arkansas right every day. I love Nolan and wish he would come back to coach, but he needed to go when he did. He burned that bridge himself. People in Ark see Mike Andersen as a link to that style of play. If Buzz W is a Gillespie, slow it down style coach, that will not endear him to the fans.

 

it was rumored that self called about the arkansas job the year before he left illinois for ku. but i agree, he would never leave ku.

he turned down $8 zillion to go to his alma mater. he's not going to arkansas. I think if he leaves, it would have to be for an NBA job.

Rumors about Mike Brey being interested in NC State. I'm hopeful - and expecting - that this is just Brey using leverage to get some better facilities (ND has ranked 14th in the Big East in hoops spending of late).

Tubby just announced he's returning to Minnesota. Gotta say I'm happy he won't be at Arkansas.

In other news, my UALR Trojans just lost the chance to be destroyed by Pitt.

Someone on the broadcast said that right before I switched to the Bulls game

UAB looking like they don't belong in the NIT

 

How did Mike Davis fall so fast? I don't watch a lot of Big Ten, but compared to Bobby Knight I liked the guy.

UAB-Clemson looks like a 13-4 where the 13 does nothing but make 3 pointers to keep it sort of close.

 

But the 13 is a 12 and the 4 is a 13.

Yeah that would really suck. That's one of the only jobs I can think of where there would be mutual interest in and for McCaffery.

Losing Barlow really hurts Purdue. He's one of the best athletes on the team and can guard 1-4. Everyone knows he's a douche bag so who knows what he did. Maybe we can use his scholarship on Gary Harris???

Btw, tonight's HD broadcast seems to be the best early round television quality broadcast I've ever seen, by a decent amount. Uverse doesn't do HD sports well, and this looks pretty good.

Turner sports does a good job with HD coverage if I remember the MLB Playoffs correctly.

I read Butler's Brad Stevens mentioned as a possibility for NC State, but I don't know if that's serious or wishful thinking.
