IU getting pushed by Marshall in tonight’s championship game.
It’s interesting. Marshall carries 48 players on their roster, 23 are international players. The coaching staff is from overseas. IU carries 30 on it’s, with one player from overseas.
Marshall hasn’t had a player make the C-USA all-academic team for the past three years.
I’d love to see the curriculum the Marshall players are taking. The Blundering Terd being the blundering turd.

Sounds like a model a creative thinking basketball program could adopt....maybe a program with nothing to lose.

Soccer is more an international sport, but basketball is coming up in the world so to speak. If we are going to have an NCAA full of mercenary transfer players, it would seem very appropriate we sign Euros. EXCEPT for the pesky academics part of our system.
So many Euro players have very little of their basketball history in an educational system after middle school level. It's like an AAU system and semi pro as the norm there.

Well, obviously international basketball is not a carbon copy of international soccer and the supply of talented basketball players is probably less. But a trailblazer program would have little competition, at first.
Also, I've met a larger number of Europeans who express themselves better in English than your average US college basketball player. Often MUCH better.
