and I get flamed for saying the league sucks this year. We ain’t making it to Kansas City.

Wonder if rick with be in the stands... maybe Richard hires him as a consultant and he sits on the bench.

To an extent. There is a reason Seth Greenberg is on espn. From 2008-2011 he won 21, 19, 25, and 22 games. However his noncon SOS was 150, 227, 336, and 158. During these years the ACC was pretty consistently the best conference. At some point you have to play teams with a pulse. There is no reason UT cant schedule a top 50 NCSOS, win 20 games easily, and always be in the tourney. It’s really as much of an administrative failure as anything.

KU with region love but being sent to SLC for first two rounds. Auburn smokes us in the second round.

100% right and I think that is very justified. There are a massive amount of teams that are as good as Texas from P5 and smaller conferences and they have better records and on any given night would beat Texas. I don’t see a reason for the committee to set new precedent this year and of all the years this would be the one to do it.

Still two brackets to go but at some point you have to win games. .500 has never cut it before regardless of resume.

Shitty draw for Purdue. Road game against a streaking nova in round two.

KSU getting no love being sent to CA.

Duke would cruise in 3/4 of the brackets. They’re a damn solid team.

East is a solid bracket. Not too tough, not too easy.

Best day of the year. Even better with the players championship moved to this weekend. Great sports month from 3/11 - 4/11

His measurables are awful but he also has nothing else to prove. 2 straight years of 20&10. I think it’s 50/50 if he stays or goes. He might stay because his brother is here but oddly, if he goes his brother might get more playing time. This team has a bunch of 3-4 year guys on it and the only one who isn’t a 3-4 year guy is suspended for 2 by the ncaa. Media seems to think we return the entire team next year. Good win clones. KU has some absolutely bewildering performances and this is one of them. I didn’t think Doke was going to play as big of a role as he did because I thought he’s be neutered by teams fouling him. But the numbers after he went down were awful with us going from 17-1 to a 10-7 finish. When you have such a head of steam going for so long it sucks to have to throw away an entire year... goos season for the big12. Congrats tech. Fuck KSU. Congrats clones. Hopefully we can get a few teams out of the first weekend.

I think I still have eligibility.

They’re just running trains now.

Good win ISU. Looks like the KSU players were bitching to prohm about the dunk after the buzzer. They must have forgotten about how they did the same against their opponents multiple times this year.

You might have competition for him. NBC sports radio tweeted bill self to Chicago bulls....

Roach is playing so this game probably looks a lot like the game in Austin. KU is 8-6 to finish the season and UT is a match up nightmare for us. You guys actually have a great shot to win this. KU is a 2.5 point favorite and the sprint center doesn't treat us well.

Yep. Plus the reversal rate is very good out to 10 years which is attractive. I’ve boned my share of crazy and have decided to play the young and wealthy card while in Tulsa. I’m a prime target to get popped for a child. This prevents that.

About to cryo some sperm for my 4/11 vasectomy. Feels weird looking up porn in a doctors office waiting room.

I mean.. I was calling for bill self to be fired. Drive from Lawrence to OKC that day, got to the arena at game time. Watched us lose. Drove straight home. Worst first day of spring break ever.

How is the rest of bucknell’s resume? Another bid stolen?

I can't see any scenario where UT gets in with a loss to KU. St. Mary's already stole a bid and I bet at least 2 more get stolen. UT would be the worst record to ever get in to the tournament. I just don't see .500 being a precedent that is set. I think UT is definitely in with a win against KU and we are probably the best match up you could have hoped for based on UT vs. KU in style and personnel.

Agree, if a mid/small major is willing to go out and play a tough as shit noncon so their SOS is top 60-70 and then they finish second in their league they should get a chance over P5 teams that have a built in conference SOS advantage and play cream puff noncon. There is no reason a P5 program should play a SOS less than 75 just based on how the schedules play out. Those teams have all year to prove they are "winners" instead of "we're good losers". Let a 25 win lower team in the tourney instead of the middling P5 team. I'm either all black or all white on the issue here. I either want more small teams over middling big teams or I want you to line up the 68 best teams and let them in. Disregard conference tourneys and just rank them 1-68 and let them in. Seed them based on resume but if we have a 1-25 ranking there is no reason we can't have a 1-68 ranking without looking at everyone's resume. My ideal situation is that P5 tells the NCAA to fuck off, we go to four 16 team conferences that govern themselves, and have a tourney between those 64 teams at the end of the year. It'll never happen but conference alignment like this solves a fuckload of problems that the NCAA currently has.

UCONN most famously in the last 15 years.

Don’t forget vcu.
