Howland to DePaul

Agree - best chance of happening

They should hire a young coach. The old retreads haven't exactly worked out

That's possible.  But I'm not sure he wants to deal with the grimy, Chicago hoops scene.  Howland may not have enough panache for that particular scene.

That still amazes me that another city could be grimier than NYC, but Chicago surely wins the crown. Even charismatic Groce is having trouble.

Read the Sports Illustrated article on Howland conduct at UCLA and it will dispel any thoughts of him coaching DePaul or anywhere else.

@BigEastTourney: 7 #bigeast teams cracked top 60 in attendance in 2014-15.  @gocreighton leading the way, @MarquetteMBB right behind. http://t.co/B71yCvOFyh

sad that SJU isn't in the top 60... Hopefully this program can finally coneback to where it was.
Would like to know what the capacity was at Carnesseca, it seemed on TV the place was pretty packed.

Just for two or three  games......capacity is just under 6,000 I think.....

@BSnowScout: http://t.co/44iBhXrJ1P has learned that D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera will return to Georgetown after initially declaring for the draft

Smart move.

Unless Dunn returns, DSR is probably the pre-season favorite for player of the year in the conference.

Archidiacano?

Good call.  Him too.

Good call.  Him too.

Those guys, Rysheed, Dunham and Roosevelt Jones

Let's hope Sheed plays to that level.  He is talented enough.

Gibbs might be in that group too, so long as he returns to the Hall and him and the Whitehead contingent can get along.  Lots of "ifs" with that one though, as both Whitehead and Delgado are going to be looking to go pro after next year.

I think one of the Xavier guys will step up into that category as well.  They do a great job with player development.  Perhaps Bluett or Reynolds makes the leap.

5,602 capacity at CA. Sold out for two games, two others were 5k+. Opening night did 4,700.

He's gone, no?  I thought he declared last week.

I heard Dunn as of yesterday is leaning towards coming back. Kind of shocked.

I as referring to Smith-rivera. I thought Rivera would be back, but he's not coming back.

Rivera changed his mind and will be at GT.
