2017 forward unprompted spoke very highly of the Cats, said the national championship makes a "huge impact." Also tweeted "shoutout to my boy Jay Wright on the Chip." Haven't seen much of the kid play but he seems like a good fit.

Two columns / articles over the last few days on potential changes to the Big 5. I wonder if something is brewing?

I actually made my first Beanpot this year. Great event

Nothing really to add: I just like sound, the ring, the tone of it all, and we get to say it for the whole year!


177 Days until the start of practice and the beginning of the road to Phoenix!

And where have you 1985 Villanova Championship Team?

I'm watching Squawk on the street now. The interview with Jay is off the charts. Any parent with a kid looking to play college hoops should sign up now!

But in terms of marketing the university, our logo is absolutely everywhere now. What is that worth? How much would it cost to have your logo up all day on the stock exchange? When we talk about having to split the $$ for winning the NC with the rest of the Big East we don't really mention this part. I would think the marketing department would try to put a value on this?

now it's official. Not TJC fake official.

Burrs, matty17, thoughts on THE PROCESS? What era was better? The CAP SPACE era or PROCESS era?

...absolutely zero "Jay to.." rumors floating around the net...surprising and very cool...

has Josh going 29 to the Spurs. This is a tough call for him. I hear the Spurs really like him. If they guarantee they'll take him there, I think you gotta go. Chance to join a winning organization where player development is best in the league.

Flip side, if not guaranteed, return to Nova, work on your handle and jumper, have a D. Valentine senior year and become a late lottery pick. Tough call!!!

...none were top 75/100? out of HS that I could see...what is the feeling on who of the three might be the biggest contributor/ have the best career here...

95% done. Going to sit on it for a few days to make the final touches to the audio and finale. It will be uploaded online by the end of the week.

In your TQ you mentioned that when you see a new watch you like, you buy it and swap it out for your old one. How do you sell your old ones? eBay? I have a bunch of watches that I don't wear and I'm wondering how best to dispose of them.

more Championship gear in the last week then Duke fans did all of last year.

Bang!

today. Anyone know who it was?

Villanova
VCU
Seton Hall
Xavier

Got this a little while ago from a very good source:

"basketball banquet is going to be in pavillion. Max out at 1000. will be cocktail party not a dinner. ticket info is suppossed to come out tomorrow."

12 to 1 according to Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook in Vegas. Maryland also 12-1. Kentucky, UNC and UVA are the only teams with better odds at 10-1.

"I'm not sure Villanova was the best team in college basketball this season, because regular-season Villanova was not NCAA Tournament Villanova. But Villanova is the national champion because NCAA Tournament Villanova was a conquering juggernaut the likes of which we had never before seen"

As per Jon Rothstein on Twitter.

Great news!

The championship game is being shown on CBS Sports Network tonight from 9-11 EDT with a replay from 1-3EDT. I know I can never see it enough times. Also for those who could not DVR it as of yet.

Jenkins was our first player to notch 100+ 3's in a season since Allen Ray in 2006.

For a quick historical look at our top 3 point shooters by year

2016 - Jenkins - 100/259 - 38.6%
2015 - Hilliard - 79/204 - 38.7%
2014 - Bell - 85/220 - 37.1%
2013 - Arcidiacono - 71/217 - 32.7%
2012 - Cheek - 57/178 - 32.0%
2011 - Stokes - 89/206 - 43.2%
2010 - Reynolds - 69/179 - 38.5%
2009 - Stokes - 76/182 - 41.8%
2008 - Reynolds - 79/206 - 38.3%
2007 - Nardi - 71/191 - 37.2%
2006 - Ray - 107/288 - 37.2%
2005 - Ray - 80/213 - 37.6%
2004 - Ray - 87/222 - 39.2%
2003 - Buchanan - 88/215 - 40.9%


I am thinking Jenkins could have a very big year next year from 3.
