Final from DC

WE ALMOST LOST BILL RAFTERY

Colorado has increased its investment in the roster under AD Fernando Lovo, with CU Athletics set to double its commitment to men’s basketball next season, helping bring Barrington Hargress back and keep its young core together.

RIP CU Ball

THE NCAA TOURNAMENT IS THE GREATEST EVENT IN SPORTS.

Good opportunity for @CUBuffsMBB. Hopefully, Tad Boyle can leverage the Crown into retaining the likes of Isaiah Johnson, Barrington Hargress, and Bangot Dak, in addition to the other pieces that emerged late in the season.

(2/2) CU is not Arizona, Houston, or Kansas; that’s not the expected standard with its current severe NIL limitations. With respect to some of the other schools in the league, it absolutely should not be widely regarded as the worst job, either. Tough days ahead for @CUBuffsMBB.

(1/2) Sincerely hope @flovom and @CUBuffs donors understand the importance of retaining this promising freshman class. For starters, @CUBuffsMBB being polled as the worst job in the @Big12Conference according to @TheFieldOf68 coaches poll is mind-boggling.

@CUBuffsMBB (3/3) Despite the evolving landscape of NIL and the transfer portal, the jump from the @pac12 to @Big12Conference undoubtedly hurt the Men’s program. Without a complete revamp of CU’s NIL allocation, conference title appearances may be few and far between.

(2/3) Not because Tad Boyle can’t recruit or win, but because the death of the PAC-12 meant the Buffs would no longer have ‘winnable’ games against comparable league opponents. The league fit the profile of @CUBuffsMBB, especially from NIL and fan engagement standpoints.

(1/3) Leaving T-Mobile Arena at the conclusion of a narrow PAC-12 title game loss to Oregon in 2024 made me realize that would very likley be the last time the #CUBUFFS were title contenders at the conference or NCAA levels.

Mid Major Hoops is UP and I’m here for it.

Forever shaped my love for college football. Unmistakable passion and analysis from these two. RIP to a legend.

Louis Leo “Lou” Holtz, legendary college football coach, Hall of Famer, bestselling author, and one of America’s most influential motivational voices, has passed away at the age of 89 in Orlando, Florida, surrounded by family. Born January 6, 1937, in Follansbee, West Virginia, Holtz rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected figures in college athletics. Over a remarkable five‑decade career, he led college programs at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame, and South Carolina.  He transformed every team he inherited and captured the 1988 National Championship with the Fighting Irish. Holtz was preceded in death by his beloved wife of more than 50 years, Beth, with whom he shared a life grounded in faith, devotion, and service.   Holtz is remembered for his enduring values of faith, family, service, and an unwavering belief in the potential of others. His influence extended far beyond the football field through the Holtz Charitable Foundation and the many players, colleagues, and communities shaped by his leadership. He is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren, and two great‑grandchildren. Funeral arrangements, including a Mass of Christian Burial at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame, will be announced as details are finalized. The Holtz Family

There are only 22 high-major scholarship players who will celebrate Senior Night this week, having played at just one place. Mississippi State's Shawn Jones Jr. is the only SEC senior to finish where he started. Dozens of coaching changes and the transfer portal have led to this
