BRIAN BUTCH RUMORS & GOSSIP
One surprising secret to Wisconsin’s success: Ultimate Frisbee
The first time Brian Butch heard about Wisconsin's unusual approach to offseason conditioning, the former Badgers big man admits he was baffled.
"I was happy we didn't have to run sprints, but I remember thinking, 'We must be the only basketball team in the country that plays ultimate Frisbee," Butch recalled. "I thought everybody was nuts."

Featured Video: Badgers’ Butch Banks Game-Winner In ‘08
Wisconsin’s Brian Butch is no Larry Bird but for one play in 2008 his three-point stroke was just as sweet. Actually, the shot itself was pretty ugly (who banks a 3-pointer?) but it went in just the same and helped beat Indiana, 68-66, in Bloomington when wins there actually meant something. Butch is currently a free agent with no team to play for. Tonight the Badgers host Indiana...

Purdue heads back to Mad-town
I had promised power rankings today, but I am going to hold off on them for another week. The past 36 hours have been exciting behind the scenes for me at Off the Tracks. There are some things brewing in the works that could be a huge step forward for me personally and professionally involving this blog.

And as for the finals of the Paradise Jam
If Brian Butch was granted a 27th year of eligibility, maybe I could see UConn getting upset versus your Wisconsin Badgers, but unless Jon Leuer can get Hasheem Thabeet to cover his Brad Lohausian game? The Badgers are going to struggle. UConn should win by fifteen on paper. I can see that. ...

The O'Bryant Signing
The Celtics have signed Golden State Warriors free agent Patrick O'Bryant to a contract. There were various reports on the contract, but it seems that it is a 2 year contract at the league minimum with the second year a team option. It may also be a contract that is guaranteed only if he is on the roster after a certain date. He has considerable potential although he hasn'...

MORE ON THE BRACKETS
Ken Pomeroy's rolling out his preview today. He uses an algorithm called log5 to express each team's Tourney chances as a percentage. It's fascinating stuff that I highly recommend.
