AP Top 25 for this week, of course, Auburn's 1, Florida 2, Duke 3, Alabama 4, and Houston
00:07
5 for this.
00:09
The Johnnies fell to 10, even though they didn't get a win.
00:13
They bounced back on Sunday, getting themselves a win over there.
00:16
Every one of those teams is going to the NCAA tournament on that entire list.
00:21
That is correct.
00:22
That is correct.
00:23
There's no question about that.
00:25
All right, I have this for you, because you love stuff like this, and I don't think you've
00:30
seen this yet, so I want to give it to you.
00:32
In honor of Tom Izzo becoming the winningest coach in the Big Ten over the weekend, here
00:39
we go.
00:40
A list that was put out, top 10 greatest coaches, basketball coaches in Big Ten history, according
00:46
to people who think they know.
00:50
Ward Lambert, Lou Henson, Bo Ryan, Jud Heathcote, Matt Painter, Gene Katie, Fred Taylor, Branch
00:56
McCracken, Tom Izzo, and number one, the general, Bob Knight at number one.
01:05
There it is, the greatest coaches in Big Ten history.
01:07
Listen, obviously, I would agree with that, without a doubt, and Branch McCracken won
01:12
two national championships at Indiana as well.
01:15
I love Gene Katie, Heathcote was a great coach, Bo Ryan as well.
01:21
I think Matt Painter's had a hell of a 20 years in West Lafayette, I wouldn't argue
01:26
with that.
01:27
Lou Henson was the stuff of legend in Champaign.
01:31
That's all there is to it.
01:33
Izzo's got to be there, he's passed Bob Knight now and wins, that's because Indiana stupidly
01:39
fired Bob Knight, Miles Brand, the dumbest move in sports history, to fire that guy.
01:46
I'll never, listen, the guy's dead, Brand, and I'm glad, like I hated him.
01:52
Everyone hates his guts in Bloomington.
01:54
Everyone at Indiana that ever went to Indiana hates that guy dead, in effigy, dead.
02:00
He's dead and they still talk bad about him.
02:03
That's how much people hated him.
02:04
Not only that, he ran the NCAA into the ground.
02:07
Don't get me started.
02:08
Every time you mention that guy's name, this is what happens to me.
02:11
I get all kinds of worked up.
02:12
I need to move on right now or it's only going to get worse.
02:18
And now we wait for who will be the Big Ten head coach that breaks what has now been,
02:23
geez, what are we at now, 24, 25 years since the Big Ten basketball team won the national
02:29
championship, right?
02:30
2000, Michigan State.
02:31
They don't care because they win national championships now in football.
02:36
That's all that matters.
02:37
You have those football national championships.
