Probably met with Mags after the game and said don’t worry I’m right on track to have a solid team in 2026.

It’s a good gig if you can get it.

Mutual job security. Can’t justify getting rid of one and not the other.

Once they made women's games free to attend standards went out the window. I just wished they forced Broadhead back to EK . long

WBB is headquartered in the dome. Think it’s a Title IX thing, equal access to different facilities.
———-
App, the top seed, falls to stAte. Plays JMU in finals.

How many years now is that the regular season champ misses out.

But look no further how important MBB is to the SBC. THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IS ON ESPN+.

The league championship doesn’t even get on the deuce or ESPNU anymore.

"If" they request it.

J. Kelly Hall said atmosphere was more important than fancy facilities, and requested EKL.

No Garry just made the excuse he couldn't recruit to EL.Long. that's why they had to play in the CD.

Plenty to complain about, don’t need to throw in stuff that isn’t true. Champ game on ESPN 2

Right, and the women's champ game is on ESPNU.

Still don't see the advantage of one seed conferences playing a full fledged conference tournament or even playing one at all. We had an outstanding regular season team in 2018 or 2017 (already forgot which year) that got knocked out in the tourney. But that Cajuns team was a legit NCAA tourney team. See App St. this year. Why aren't one seed conferences protecting their regular season champs more? Sunbelt is purposely devaluing men's basketball while saying aloud we need to do more for men's basketball. Just cancel the conf. tourney completely if motive is creating a TV game or just have 1 vs. 2 playoff at regular season champs home court. This could actually help men's basketball in the south with main emphasis on the regular season instead of a contrived conf. tourney. And maybe the SBC begins gaining more NCAA tourney credibility by winning NCAA tourney games more frequently.

100% agree! Especially now that the regular season champ no longer gets the auto bid to the NIT

While you make good points, there’s issues either way. If you make it regular season winner (or 1v2 championship), you’ve effectively ended the majority of your teams’ seasons by the beginning of February.

A couple of key injuries that last a more than a week or two could kill a potentially good team before they even have a chance.

Another key point is the league basketball coaches would never support this. Makes it too easy for a school to fire them. Also makes it hard for a school to hire a potentially good coach.

Other issue is if you tell ESPN to kick rocks during championship week, not helping your media rights negotiations next time around.

Like it or not, conf tournaments are a part of March Madness, and it’s likely not changing soon.
