anyone want to ask any specifics, and I can help dig them?
The worst basketball score in the Valley belongs to Evansville,
Mens basketball had 891 (10th percentile)


And Bobby Knight fans...brace yourself!!

Texas Tech Mens basketball 931, only in the 50th percentile!!
So even MORE proof that Bobby Knight DOES NOT do a great job of "graduating kids".

[IlliBraves]

That is not enough proof to tell me Bobby Knight doesn't graduate his kids. He has been known to kick off his star player for not going to class. The man demands discipline, unlike criminals like Kelvin Sampson and Bob Huggins. His players are not hoodlums, and he has spoken out against the NBA's new one-year rule.

Ah...you wish to know the legacy of Bob Huggins

Cincinnati Mens basketball....828..the very lowest in all of D-I basketball!!
In the 1st percentile........the pitts, the absolute bottom dweller......

Congratulations Bob Huggins!!

you are the very guy this NCAA effort is aimed at!!
