Will Franklin, MSU picks up an experienced PG, and more college basketball news...

After all the political turmoil in Tunisia -- the Tunisian pro basketball season was suspended but now -- the playoffs are resumed and underway....

Will Franklin's team ES Sahel is the favorite -- and title will be determined via pool play of the top six teams.

Here are the standings after pool play...

Play-Off Group A
1. ES Sahel 4-0
2. Ezzahra 1-3
3. JS Kairouan 1-3
Play-Off Group B
1. Stade Nabeulien 3-1
2. ES Rades 3-1
3. C Africain 0-4

The top team in each pool then the next best two qualify for the Semi's and Finals which have already started...

In round one of the Semi's ES Sahel beat ES Rades 97-62, while Stade Nabeulien beat Ezzahra 81-59.



Departed DePaul senior Mike Bizoukas will play his final season at Missouri State.



So the Big Ten/ACC pairings for next year are out...
let's see who got the best and worst....

Ohio State is arguably the best Big Ten team -- and Duke maybe the best ACC -- they get each other in one premier matchup.

Then UNC gets Wisconsin -- but the Badgers will lose some talent...

The worst ACC team going into 2011 -- is NC State...
and they get Indiana -- who might well be the worst Big Ten team...
Remember last year when Tom Crean got news he was getting Maryland -- he complained for weeks about how it was too stiff of an opponent for his team that was so "young".
Ha -- his team wasn't so young -- it was just bad.........

A tiny Division III school in Kentucky named Transylvania University has released their 2011-2012 basketball schedule and they hit the jackpot and get a guarantee game at Rupp Arena against Kentucky!!
TU will have already played THREE Canadian teams by that Nov. 2 date - which will likely be Kentucky's first exhibition game.

Ex-Bradley recruit Jamari Traylor -- one of the few unsigned guys left -- is milking this process for all it's worth -- he's announcing that he will be announcing some time maybe today!!



Anyone see this??? Maybe one of the worst efforts of trying to invent a pun for a head line...
The Chicago White Sox' Brent Morel hits a key homer and helps the Sox win -- and the Journal Star comes up with this nauseating stuff...
"All of a sudden, it mushrooms"

Does everyone get it?? The star of the game was named Morel and the headline is saying "it mushrooms"....
OMG it is getting pretty clear that the PJS is cutting salaries way too much and getting inferior hires...



BTW -- for those who have flooded a certain person's office with complaints about BF.com and some of the pro-BU guys -- ahem....you've been found out...and your whines have been discounted...
If "they" want to know the truth -- they won't call you -- they'll call us...and we have told them who the true Bradley loyalists are and who are the anti-crowd who lurk and attack Bradley at every opportunity.
Everyone who was around recalls how vicious it was when the only message board was in the hands of the haters....nobody wants to ever go back there...
And if you doubt it -- swing by tomorrow and join us at lunch and find out first hand...
