Holy Crap! That is the FIRST Mens Championship in any NCAA sport that Washington has won in over 130 years of existence. Their first nine championships were all done by the women. (Softball, Rowing, etc.) Damn. There goes my favorite joke.... "The Men of Washington are Proven to NOT be Championship Caliber."

Yes. Both are gone.

Given who won last night (5 transfers starting) roster retention is no longer in style. Being good at identifying and paying talent is where it’s at, and apparently we have room for improvement on both of those fronts. Our activity level is starting to get embarrassing imo. Ready for some big moves given the portal opens, uh, today.

What about Devon Pryer and JJ Frakes? Have they also hit the transfer portal?

Can there be any question now as to the effect transfers (and the amount of $$ it takes to get them) have had on college basketball when the starters for a team that just won the national championship has not one player from their own recruits?

It probably has to do with the amount of $$ generated by football before and after the three broadcast tv channels was replaced by the cable services (primarily ESPN & Fox) that bid university/athletic dept. income into the stratosphere. From that point, it became just a matter of time before those responsible for this jump would demand their rightful share of this new wealth. Cue the lawyers . . .

The hits keep coming. I suspect more will come tomorrow.

Great information, as the Big-10 winning Mens and Womens Basketball AND Football? Currently UCLA is No. 1 ranked in Baseball...

Congratulations to No. 1 seed Michigan Wolverines for their basketball championship. And to the Illinois Illini for reaching the final four. Quite the accomplishment. Looking ahead at the way-too-early rankings for the 2026-2027 basketball season, there are SEVEN B1G schools in the top 25. No. 1 Michigan No. 6 Michigan St. No. 8 Illinois No. 14 Purdue No. 17 USC No. 18 Nebraska No. 25 Iowa. Just looking at that will give Duck fans a sinking feeling for the upcoming basketball season. In the PAC, Oregon only had Arizona and UCLA to contend with. Understandingly, attendance has been down. For B1G games, Matthew Knight Arena attendance was roughly 55% capacity. A lot of lost revenue for the school. In contrast, only USC, Washington, Rutgers and Northwestern have smaller arenas than Oregon. Switching to football, even though the Ducks fill the stadium with standing room only patrons, (59,000 plus) its still small potatoes compared to the other schools. Only Indiana, Rutgers, Maryland, Minnesota and Northwestern have small stadiums. And finally hockey. Guess who the No. 1 seed is for the "Frozen Four?" The Michigan Wolverines! How about that. And the Wisconsin Badgers are also in the frozen four. The B1G is well represented in football, basketball and hockey. For any Duck fan who enjoys hockey, here is the schedule: Thursday April 9th 2pm ESPN2 No. 2 North Dakota Bisons vs. Wisconsin Badgers Thursday April 9th 5:30 pm ESPN2 No. 1 Michigan Wolverines vs. Denver Pioneers Saturday April 11th 2:30pm ESPN Championship All games played in Las Vegas

Agreed. Presently there is little or no benefit for a Big Ten school to play a strong OOC game. USC shut down the Norte Dame series for that reason. The entire business model of college football has changed.

Did this game set the record for the most players with "Jr." at the end of their name in an NCAA Championship? Inquiring minds would like to know. (I counted 4)

Solid player but Georgia was merely a hat on the table as the Dawgs pursuit was tepid at best I am told. Why that is (was) I can't say.
