With Denver losing today they will miss the tournament wondering how long before Billups is out in Denver.

DU's men's hockey team draws about 4 times as many fans as their men's basketball does. Very tough gig for any head coach.

Nets are smoking in Tulsa right now. Crazy.

Two teams I would not want to play in Sioux Falls. Omaha and this Leatherneck team. Sandage is 8 of 9 from deep.

Even in this crazy stupid year, we have seen something we haven’t for a long time with the men’s program....Improvement through the year. I really hope these players and coaches stick around for more than a couple years. I’m extremely excited for the future of the program.

Agree. I was thinking yesterday in the first half when things were going really well for s this may be our most talented group as a whole that I can ever remember. In past years, you bring a kid off the bench and there was a noticeable drop in talent level. We are deep and have a lot of interchangeable parts on this team. Some of them need to beef up a little bit to take us to the next level though.
