You'd have to catch me off the record to answer that question. The implication was clear: Now that every school can pay players -- either through direct revenue share or name, image and likeness dollars -- Big Ten schools are no longer disadvantaged in recruiting by everything from booster bag men to shoe company AAU connections.

Put that one on me. It was a miscommunication and I'm the head coach, so put that one on me.

Oscar Cluff scored 21 points, Trey Kaufman-Renn had 20 and No. 18 Purdue topped No. 3 Michigan 80-72 on Sunday for the Big Ten tournament championship. Braden Smith had 14 points, 11 assists and three steals as Purdue (27-8) added to an impressive turnaround after closing the regular season with four losses in six games.

Most notably, this comes through the realization that everything that is hailed as the next frontier of human development is actually just old ideas with newer and better special effects behind it, generally applied by people too young or disinterested to know better.

Lendeborg told the AP that Kentucky had "started the number with $7 [million] to $9 [million]." "They were pretty much going off on the route like we'll pay him anything to get here," he said, noting the Wildcats' offer was about three times higher than what he took from the Wolverines.

At one point he made an assist while sprawled on the floor: From his end of the court, he made a one-armed throw to a teammate, who streaked coast-to-coast for a quick bucket. That season ended with an epic showdown in the NCAA championship game against Magic Johnson and Michigan State. Magic got the better of Bird in that game, but the contest had wider repercussions.

That explains why he don't take no [expletive]. One thing the arts teaches you is that you can walk away. It teaches you to try to walk away first because you have the confidence to handle yourself in the skills, that you can take care of yourself. That would explain that tough persona that he gives off, because when you know that - most people - you can kick their butts, you get a certain arrogance about you and confidence.

Nebraska averages 79.7 points per game (19th in college basketball) while giving up 67.6 per outing (258th in college basketball). It has a +352 scoring differential overall and outscores opponents by 12.1 points per game.

Johnson won six Southern Section titles coaching at Mission Viejo and three at El Toro while winning 338 games, the second winningest in Orange County history and in the top five in state history, according to the Orange County Register.

"Coach Knight's influence on the game of basketball is immeasurable, but his impact on this university and Hoosier basketball fans is even deeper," Indiana athletic director Scott Dolson said in a statement. "On a personal level, having started my career here as a student manager under Coach Knight, I saw firsthand the unparalleled standard of excellence he demanded. He taught me, and countless others, that success is the result of meticulous preparation and unwavering discipline. "This statue will be a well-deserved tribute to a man who didn't just win games; he changed how the sport is played."

Accountability. It's the word that's defined Mike Brown's early tenure as head coach with the Knicks, one of several differentiating factors that separate him from former head coach Tom Thibodeau, who the Knicks fired after their Eastern Conference Finals run ended in six games last season. It's not the word, however, Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody was expecting.

Whether we win or lose this football game, I know that I'm going to be able to sleep, rest at night knowing I did everything possible to prepare for this game, and everything possible in order to help the Hoosiers win this game. Although it means a lot to myself, being from Miami, having family from Miami, growing up a University of Miami fan, it's the national championship. It means so much for Bloomington, it means so much for my teammates. It would mean so much for everybody around. I don't want to put the spotlight on myself, but on everybody.

Trent Perry hit a game-tying three-pointer from the top of the key with 1.1 seconds left in regulation before the UCLA men's basketball team went on to lose to Indiana 98-97 in double overtime Saturday afternoon at Pauley Pavilion. Freshman Trent Sisley made the first of two free throws with 0.3 seconds left to give the Hoosiers a one-point lead in the second overtime period.

I'm gonna honor Christ like I always do. Blessed to do this, but this was embarrassing. These dudes do not deserve to wear this uniform. There will be very few of them in it next year. Like, I'm embarrassed for the university. I'm embarrassed, for our fans, our student section, you know. It is just ridiculous. We got practice at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning, and we will get this thing right. I have no answer, no words Y'all got two questions.
