Re: NCAA Hoops Off season 2015
I kind of see both points here. To try a slightly different take, when Cal talks, he seems to lead with his individual players. When K talks, he tends to lead with the program.

Newcastle are staying up! DEEEEEPPP sigh of relief.
Wigan would have to win out to move above us, and if they do that, then Villa would lose and be below us.
Now I'm going to sit back and root for Sunderland relegation next Sunday.

Also, on the cynical front, most NBA guys I've read say Collins was already all but guaranteed an NBA bench spot given the lack of NBA bench big men, and the fact that he's in great shape and a pro's pro.
