NCAA MBB Tournament

A reverse la tech move

What I thought too.

SOAL coach let the team know and everything.

It’s like they were the back up date for the dance, but the better looking one said “yes.”

Wow: UC Riverside had also received an NIT invitation, but had first committed to play in the College Basketball Invitation, a less-prestigious tournament. Then riverside "wriggled free" and bumped USA..... sad, they should sue

We can troll south alabama next year with a picture of ours and riverside former player named the beard

Don’t forget the NCAA took over the NIT and proceeded to jack over conference champions that lost in their conference tournament. Now, suddenly, most of their precious power conference teams are bailing due to “injuries”.

I think the NCAA will hold on to the NIT with the long range goal of breaking off the MBB power conferences (and the money) and the NIT will become the “all you others” national championship.

Just remember this if you get all jacked up over a “mid major” poll.

It will happen to CFB sometimes after 2031. And it will be the model the other sports will follow one at a time.

Follow the money.

Ironically even SECspn was whining today about costs of non football travel and the potential need for allowing teams to be in one conference for football and a different one for other sports, with the other sport conferences being regionally based.

Not an NCAA game, but some may be interested in knowing Arkansas State beat St. Louis by 25 in an NIT game tonight. St. Louis is in the Atlantic 10, thought to be a much better league than the Sun Belt. Earlier this season the Red Wolves won at Memphis and at UAB, the top 2 teams in the American. American Conference is also thought to be a much better league than the SBC. While nowhere near one of the top mid majors at this stage, the SBC is much better in basketball than some of you give it credit for.

The thing about UNC getting in was they were holding a space in case Memphis lost…who’s RPI was 50.

Creighton is 11-21 from 3, up 17 on Louisville in an up and down game. 61-44, under 15 left. Fun game to watch.

Two games in, down to ~27% perfect brackets left.

Has any previous "overall #1 seed", not gone to conference tourney final game.
And when did they start differentiating overall #1 seed compared to other 3 #1 seeds

Covid seems to not be passed on from dress clothes any longer. When will coaches start dressing the part again

Woohoo, we made news: UC San Diego's qualification came in its first year of eligibility, and are only the fourth school since 1972 to do so, joining Southwestern Louisiana (Louisiana Lafayette) (1972), North Dakota State (2009) and Northern Kentucky (2017).
