Couldn't get a game tying shot off with 3.4 secs inbounding under their own basket. Sound familiar..

Classic Willard team forgetting the game starts in the 1st half

Let’s go!!!🏴‍☠️

What are the rules if any for coaches who are friends working out there teams together in the off season. Next year we will have some young bigs. Could we get together with NJIT for joint practices. Grant could work will all the bigs and Sha could work with the guards. Could this be a thing?

If anyone can't get to the rock but you are near jersey shore...Princeton plays at Monmouth at 2pm

TEAM INFO​

By Ryan Glasspiegel

Michigan continues to have a wild football season with its coaching staff.

Last week, head coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended by the Big Ten for Michigan’s final three regular-season conference games as the football program has been investigated for a sign-stealing scheme presided over by ex-Marine Connor Stalions.

Athletics director Warde Manuel announced Friday that linebackers coach Chris Partridge has been fired.

Partridge, 43, rejoined Michigan’s staff this season after spending three seasons at Ole Miss.

He had previously been a defensive assistant for Michigan from 2015-19.

Michigan’s linebackers will now be coached by Rick Minter.

No reason was given by Michigan for Partridge’s firing, but Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger tweeted that “Michigan leaders were presented new evidence this week in the NCAA’s investigation into its advance scouting scheme.”

This new evidence “presumably” led Michigan to stop fighting discipline so forcefully, Dellenger wrote, noting that Harbaugh gave up his fight against the Big Ten’s suspension Thursday and Partridge was fired Friday.

Yahoo Sports subsequently published a story indicating that Partridge was not accused at this time of knowing about Stalions’ sign-stealing scheme while it was happening, but “acted after the fact to cover up evidence”.

The report further stated that a Michigan booster nicknamed “Uncle T” by NCAA investigators gave Stalions thousands of dollars to fund the scheme.

Earlier this week, citing FOIA disclosures, the Associated Press reported Stalions did not file expense reimbursement requests in his travels to watch Michigan opponents for the alleged purpose of stealing signs.

“This morning, the University, Coach Harbaugh, and the Big Ten resolved their pending litigation,” Michigan said in a statement on Thursday.

“The Conference agreed to close its investigation, and the University and Coach Harbaugh agreed to accept the three-game suspension. Coach Harbaugh, with the University’s support, decided to accept this sanction to return the focus to our student-athletes and their performance on the field.

“The Conference has confirmed that it is not aware of any information suggesting Coach Harbaugh’s involvement in the allegations. The University continues to fully cooperate with the NCAA’s investigation.”

Stalions, who was accused of traveling to watch numerous Michigan opponents in person, resigned from the football program earlier this month.

Stealing signs is not technically illegal in college football but in-person advance scouting has been banned since 1994.

Harbaugh was suspended for last week’s game against Penn State, and will also miss the Wolverines’ games against Maryland and heated rival Ohio State.

He is still permitted to coach the team during the week in practice.

For sh-ts and giggles I wanted to see how Femi was doing and saw he has not played this season thus far, was he deemed inelgible or injured?

St. John's has a 10 point lead on North Texas this afternoon, but only had 30 points at halftime.

A state judge in Washington granted Oregon State and Washington State sole control of the Pac-12 board of directors on Tuesday, issuing the ruling at a preliminary injunction hearing in Whitman County Court.

Judge Gary Libey granted a stay of the decision until Monday -- at no objection from OSU and WSU.

On Wednesday, lawyers representing the University of Washington, working on behalf of the 10 schools leaving the conference, filed an emergency motion through the Washington Supreme Court that would extend the stay beyond Monday's deadline.

They asked the court to rule by the close of business on Friday, which would precede an official appeal.

Tuesday's decision came roughly two months after Libey granted a temporary restraining order at the request of OSU and WSU that prevented Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff from calling any Pac-12 board meetings.

"I grew up where conduct spoke louder than words. That's how my parents treated me, and that's how I treated my children when they were growing up," Libey said before issuing his decision. "With that in mind, this court finds in favor that the plaintiffs are likely to prevail on their interpretation of the bylaws."

In a small Whitman County courthouse, roughly 15 miles from WSU's campus in Pullman, Libey heard arguments from three parties: OSU/WSU, the Pac-12 and the University of Washington, which entered the case as an intervenor, working on behalf of the nine other departing schools (Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, Colorado, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC and Utah).

Over the course of about 2½ hours, all three parties argued for different outcomes.

OSU and WSU argued -- as they have done for weeks in written briefs -- that conference bylaws were clear that when schools announced they were joining other conferences, they immediately surrendered their seat on the conference board. That, they argued, was how it worked when UCLA and USC announced they were joining the Big Ten and, again, when Colorado announced it was leaving for the Big 12.

It was not only until the other seven announced they also were leaving, OSU and WSU argued, that those schools' interpretation of the bylaws changed and claimed that all 12 deserved a seat on the board.

"There isn't a single document that's been produced which shows that the University of Washington thought that this was the correct position until it provided its notice of withdrawal and now the shoe was on the other foot," argued lawyer Eric MacMichael, for OSU and WSU. "But parties are not allowed to just blatantly flip-flop on the meaning of contractual provisions just so they can have their cake and eat it too."

The conference attempted to maintain an appearance of neutrality, lobbying for the terms of the temporary restraining order -- which required a unanimous vote on any major decision -- to remain in place. The conference's attorney, Mark Lambert, was less assertive when addressing the court, acting more in a capacity of obligation.

Asked by Libey if the Pac-12 wants to continue in its business in the future, Lambert said, "Frankly, that is up to Oregon State and Washington State at this point, and the conference and the commissioner are sensitive to those issues and also sensitive to the notion that without a board that makes things difficult."

The departing schools asked Libey to rule against OSU and WSU outright, which would have essentially given them the right to govern the conference with a 10-2 supermajority.

At the heart of the dispute is forthcoming revenue. The departing schools, as they did in writing earlier this month, expressed concern that OSU and WSU could withhold revenue set to be distributed during this academic year. They also made the case that OSU/WSU's fear that the departing schools could vote to dissolve the conference -- then evenly distribute the remaining assets -- was irrelevant because of their belief that process could be conducted without any board action.

"It's simply the fact that the members could decide to dissolve that they wanted," argued Dan Levin, for Washington. "Of course, in all this time during these proceedings and before, no member has called for such a vote."

It's unclear if the departing schools would attempt to act on that mechanism if they don't win on appeals.

"We are disappointed with the decision and are immediately seeking review in the Washington Supreme Court and requesting to put on hold implementation of this decision," the remaining 10 members said in a statement. "As members of the Pac-12, participating in ongoing and scheduled competitions, we are members of the board under the Pac-12 bylaws. We have the right to the revenue earned by our schools during the 2023-2024 academic year, which is necessary in order to operate our athletics programs and to provide mental and physical health services, academic support, and other support programs for our student-athletes.

"We remain committed to the best interests of our student-athletes, athletic departments, and university communities and will persist in our efforts to secure a fair resolution."

Meanwhile, WSU president Kirk Schulz and athletic director Pat Chun lauded the court's "common-sense decision."


"It has always been our view that the future of the Pac-12 should be determined by the remaining members, not by those schools that are leaving the conference," they said in a statement. "This position is consistent with the action the Pac-12 Board of Directors took when the first two schools announced their departure from the conference more than a year ago.

"We have always been committed to protecting the best interests of the conference, our student-athletes, coaches and fans. Today's news allows Washington State University and Oregon State University to start that process as the controlling members of the Pac-12 Conference Board."

OSU president Jayathi Murthy and athletic director Scott Barnes offered a similar sentiment.

"We are pleased with the Court's decision today that Oregon State and Washington State constitute the only remaining members of the Pac-12 Conference Board," they said in a statement. "We look forward to charting a path forward for the Pac-12 that is in the best interest of the Conference and student-athletes. Our intentions are to make reasonable business decisions going forward while continuing to seek collaboration and consultation with the departing universities."

Congrats to Fu!

Seton Hall All-Time vs. the Trojans: USC leads, 3-0

All Meetings:

USC 70, Seton Hall 59 (F) – November 28, 2003

AGAINST USC

This will be only the fourth time Seton Hall and USC have met with the Women of Troy winning the prior three meetings. Most recently, the teams faced off at the Cancun Challenge in Mexico in 2021 with USC winning, 78-66.

SCOUTING USC

USC is coming off a strong 2022-23 season that featured a 21-10 final overall record and an 11-7 mark in Pac 12 play. The Women of Troy fell in the opening round of the Pac 12 Tournament, but still managed to earn an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament. They fell in the opening round to South Dakota State, 62-57, in overtime.

USC women's basketball welcomed the Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year to Troy, with the addition of heralded incoming freshman JuJu Watkins. In addition to All-Pac 12 Teamer Rayah Marshall, USC welcomes back guard Kayla Williams, who picked up 2023 Pac-12 All-Defensive Honorable Mention. USC also added four graduate transfers to the 2023-24 Trojan roster. Three — Kaitlyn Davis, McKenzie Forbes and Kayla Padilla — were standouts in the Ivy League, and one — Roxane Makolo — boasts international experience with Team Canada.

The Trojans were picked to finish sixth in the 12-team Pac 12 Conference this season, according to the Preseason Coaches Poll.

So far this season, the Women of Troy have been better than advertised. They enter play at Baha Mar with a perfect 3-0 record and ranked 10th in the nation. USC opened the season by stunning No. 7 Ohio State in Las Vegas, 83-74. Since, they’ve recorded easy victories at home against Florida Gulf Coast and Le Moyne. Watkins currently leads the team with 28.3 points per game.

UP NEXT Seton Hall will continue play at the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship on Wednesday, Nov. 22 against East Carolina. Tip time is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. That contest will also be available for FloHoops subscribers. Joe Matthews and Jon Heite will describe the action for WSOU FM.

Congrats Fuquan!
