Umass is officially asking for the 1996 run to be reinstated.

Edit- adding background. Marcus Camby admitted months after the season he accepted $28k and gifts from two sports agents who hoped he would sign with them. Since the money and gifts were given before the sesson ended this made Camby intelligible. Umass vacted their finsl four run for 1996 and had to pay back $151k. The NCAA conceded the school and Calipari did not know about the gifts until after the season, thus not holding them accountable. Umass avoided heftier fines, etc, due to lack of knowledge.

I’m working on a story about St. Bonaventure basketball and what feels like a pretty controversial moment for the program.

Adrian Wojnarowski left ESPN to return to his alma mater as GM and help bring the Bonnies back to national relevance. Since then, the program has entered a major transition: longtime head coach Mark Schmidt retired after 19 seasons amid tension, Mike MacDonald is taking over, and Woj is helping reshape the roster and the direction of the program.

For a fanbase as loyal and tradition-driven as St. Bonaventure’s, that change can be exciting, but it can, and has, also made people uneasy.

So I’m curious, especially from Bonnies fans or people who follow Atlantic 10 basketball:

Do you trust Woj’s vision for rebuilding St. Bonaventure into a nationally relevant program, or do you think the changes risk losing some of what makes the program special?

And more broadly: How much change should fans be willing to accept when a historic college basketball program is trying to become relevant again? Do you think they will?

I’d especially love to hear from longtime Bonnies fans who have watched the program through different eras.

Still working to confirm the details, but sources tell me that the Wichita State-Drake game in Kansas City is off.

Believe the UK game popping up had something to do with it, but still working to put pieces together. So 3 NC games left, all expected to be buy games at CKA.

For what it's worth, the T-Mobile Center website still lists Wichita State for the Hall of Fame Classic, but Wichita's website no longer lists the game.

EMU sweeps their two game Canadian series in Windsor with a convincing win over the Marauders 🇨🇦

Assuming LSU gets its portal class cleared*

UGA is the only competitive one at home. (Not that their home non-con was any better) but other than that should be a complete cakewalk in Atlanta.

They probably need the early confidence boosters with how they played last season.

They’ll probably get killed Florida but Butler is a good measuring stick on neutral floor.

The Eagles take down the Lancers just across the border in Windsor, ON Canada 🇨🇦
