Thanks. Like I said I never really paid attention to it before. But now that I know, I gotta say, that’s kinda messed up.

AQs should be in the field of 64. Don’t care if were upset winners of their conference tourneys - automatic should mean just that. I’d have no problem giving them 16 seeds but they should be in.

Yeah- I think a lot of people agree with that. Also, I would think it would make the Tuesday and Wednesday games more interesting. If it was me I’d like to see basically 4 big conference vs small conference games. 
this year that might look something like:

aggy v Xavier

Michigan v wyoming


Domers v SMU 

Indiana v Byu  

 

That seems more fun than a bunch of low majors playing each other on one hand with a collection of 6th place big conference teams playing each other

Big 10 is the best conference going into the tournament. 5 or 6 teams have a realistic shot at going to New Orleans - Iowa, Purdue, Illinois and Wisconsin. And 2 from Michigan State, Ohio State and IU. Take your pick. The latter is especially dangerous.
 
Big 12 with 3 but Baylor is a tweaked ankle from essentially having a 5-man rotation. I'm assuming Cryer is done for the year. SEC - Tenny, Kentucky and Auburn w/ Arkansas but they're so schizoid. 
 
Everyone other conference has two or less teams with hopes. USC could do damage so give the Pac 12 three teams. 
 
Going to be a great tournament. We're going to New Orleans. First time it's hosted in 10 years. Best host city by far. Can't wait.

Purdue is such a cocktease program.  Just when I think this is their year to break through for a FF run, they stumble a bit.  It could still happen given their draw but I’m feeling less confident about it. 

First step in that cocktease if for someone to tell Jayden Ivey that not everything good happens when you're airborne. Great, great talent but just makes stupid decisions.

Didn't I hear this exact talk last year when they got 9 bids, and proceeded to completely shit the bed?

Expecting same this year. Only MSU seems to have the athletes and coaching to make much noise in the tourney on a fairly consistent basis.

College basketball coaching changes 2022 tracker, rumors, carousel analysis: SEC now up to four vacancies

By Matt Norlander       6 hrs ago11 min read

Quote

Thanks to the SEC, men's college basketball has now blown by 30 coaching vacancies -- and it's not done yet. There are 33 jobs and counting that have changed so far in this year's coaching carousel, with more to have vacancies emerging in the coming hours.

Here's where things have changed in the SEC over the past 48 hours. First: LSU fired Will Wade after it received its long-awaited Notice of Allegations from the NCAA. Then: Mike White left Florida to become Georgia's next coach, agreeing to do so shortly before the NCAA Tournament bracket was revealed. (Outlandish behavior.) On Monday: South Carolina fired Frank Martin. 

So, Georgia is closed, Florida is open, and sources told CBS Sports that South Carolina has already put in some work to interview candidates. Separate sources said Mississippi State has already informally interviewed a few candidates. The job is not yet officially open, but will be as soon as the Bulldogs and Ben Howland bow out of the NIT.

This story will serve as a continually updating home of all the latest as news comes in about who's been hired, who's been fired, retirements and more. It will be updated daily, sometimes multiple times in a day, so check back often. Here is the latest.

1   Duke

IN -- Jon Scheyer | OUT -- Mike Krzyzewski
After 42 years, Coach K is walking away once Duke's season ends. He will leave a massive void in college basketball once he goes, and with 12 Final Fours, five national championships and nearly 1,200 wins, he has a case as the greatest college hoops coach in the sport's history. At 34, Scheyer, the coach-in-waiting, will by far be the youngest head coach in a power conference. Duke plays Friday vs. Cal State Fullerton in the NCAA Tournament.

2  Florida

OUT  -- Mike White
Rumblings of White facing a potential firing started to surface behind the scenes about a month ago. The Gators' swoon accelerated that process; one source told CBS Sports that Georgia targeted White as a hopeful target last week. Former Georgia player/Xavier assistant Jonas Hayes was viewed as the frontrunner, but in the end, AD Josh Brooks got what he sought: a sitting head coach with proven success in the NCAA Tournament. White's career record: 243-127. 

3.    Georgia

IN -- Mike White | OUT -- Tom Crean
Crean was fired March 8 after going 47-75 in four seasons and never finishing better than 10th in the SEC. White will have a short move from Gainesville, Florida, after leaving the Gators following seven seasons there. White won six NCAA Tournament games in seven years at Florida. Georgia has as many tournament wins as a program dating back to 1983.

4   Kansas St.

OUT -- Bruce Weber
Weber's resignation Thursday ended a 10-year tenure that included five NCAA Tournaments and an Elite Eight run in 2018. Weber went 184-147 at K-State and finished atop the Big 12 standings twice in his time. Some names to watch for K-State include Wyoming coach Jeff Linder, Baylor assistant Jerome Tang and Drake coach Darian DeVries, among others. 

5   Louisville

OUT -- Chris Mack
Mack and the university agreed to part ways to the tune of $4.8 million in January. Mack went 63-36 in three and a half seasons with the Cardinals. When he was hired in 2018, Mack was considered a no-brainer for U of L, an ideal fit at that. Instead, the school remains mired in NCAA-investigation purgatory and awaits potential significant punishment later this year. Speculation looms over how quickly Louisville is going to make its hire. As one source put it: If Kenny Payne hasn't already been hired by now, isn't the job likely to go to someone else?

6   LSU

OUT -- Will Wade
Wade arrived at LSU in 2017 and wasted little time making noise both on and off the court. The most asked question in college basketball in recent years was probably, "How does Will Wade still have a job?" But now that question is no more. Wade is out with a 108-53 record and a reputation in basketball that is stained forever. Wade managed to hang on to his job for three years despite being caught on a wiretap in 2017 discussing paying players to come to LSU. The school received its long-overdue Notice of Allegations from the NCAA last week, which prompted the process to fire Wade for cause, meaning the university doesn't intend to pay him another dollar. LSU is a very good SEC job that has a prideful history. The next coach will have work to do to repair its image under Wade, but there won't be a shortage of candidates. Still: LSU could face significant sanctions from the NCAA (including a potential postseason ban) even after firing Wade. With seven major violations levied against the men's basketball program, LSU's future is murky-at-best heading into this offseason.

7   Maryland

OUT -- Mark Turgeon
Turgeon stepped down in early December after the Terps -- a ranked team entering this season -- started 5-3. Danny Manning served as the interim coach, but the school is relying on Parker Executive Search to aid in its scouring to land a big name. The idea is to get a coach who can return Maryland to consistent top-25 status. Turgeon won 66% of his games at Maryland, though took the program to just one Sweet 16. With Enfield out of the picture, the name still attached to this job is Seton Hall's Kevin Willard, but in reality nobody really knows where this one is going as of now.

8    Missouri

OUT -- Cuonzo Martin
The Tigers' fan base is aching for consistency and national relevance, and it just never came under Martin, who arrived in 2017. The Tigers went 2-21 (5-13 SEC) this season; Martin leaves with a 78-77 record in five seasons. Sources told CBS Sports that Missouri began informally gauging interest of a few potential candidates as far back as late January. Some initial names that could be involved include Murray State's Matt McMahon, George Mason's Kim English, Baylor assistant Jerome Tang, San Francisco's Todd Golden and North Texas coach Grant McCasland.

9   South Carolina

OUT  -- Frank Martin
South Carolina fired Martin Monday after a 10-year tenure, which included one NCAA Tournament appearance -- a Final Four run in 2017. Martin will have options at other job openings this year if he wants them, a source told CBS Sports. Two separate sources said South Carolina has already begun interviewing interviewing candidates for Martin's successor.

10   Alabama St.

OUT -- Mo Williams
Williams was 14-35 in two seasons as coach of the Hornets, but is leaving for Jackson State. The Hornets went 10-21 and just missed making the SWAC Tournament.

11   Ball St.

OUT  -- James Whitford
Nine years with the Cardinals for Whitford, who never made the NCAAs and went 131-146. This is a lower-tier MAC job. The school last won a league title in 2001.

12   Binghamton

IN -- Levell Sanders | OUT -- Tommy Dempsey
Dempsey was out a year ago, but we're noting this change here because Sanders was promoted in February to the full-time post after serving as interim coach. Binghamton's 12 wins this season are the most the program has had since 2009-10.

13   The Citadel

OUT -- Duggar Baucom
Baucom was let go on Thursday after seven seasons and 77 wins. The Bulldogs went 13-28 this season, tying the program's most wins in a season under Baucom. Widely regarded as one of the toughest jobs in the sport, the program has never made the NCAA Tournament.

14   East Carolina

OUT -- Joe Dooley
The East Carolina job coming open was an open secret for a few weeks. Dooley went 44-67 in four seasons, his best season being this past one (15-15). ECU is arguably the toughest job in the American; look for Gardner-Webb coach Tim Craft and Tennessee associated head coach Mike Schwartz to be two top targets for this one.

15   FGCU

OUT -- Michael Fly
A 55-59 record through four seasons -- and a 21-11 mark in 2021-22 -- wasn't good enough for Fly to keep his job. Sources said FGCU athletic director Ken Kavanagh wanted to make this move a year ago but the money at that point was too much. Fly deserved another season. It's believed former Penn State coach Pat Chambers is in line to replace Fly.

16   George Wash.

OUT  -- Jamion Christian
Entering the season, it was thought Christian was under some pressure to win. George Washington went 12-18 and opted to fire Christian after only three seasons, an unusually quick hook for an A-10 school. One immediate name that will get a good look is Virginia assistant Jason Williford.  

17    Illinois St.

IN -- Ryan Pedon | OUT -- Dan Muller
The Ohio State assistant coach was the No. 2 pick for the Cincinnati job a year ago. Now Illinois State gets a high-energy up-and-coming name who grinds as hard as just about any power-conference assistant in the game. Hard to figure, but Illinois State last made the NCAAs in 1998.

18   Jackson St.

IN -- Mo Williams | OUT -- Wayne Brent
Alabama State coach Mo Williams, who played 12 seasons in the NBA, will take over for Brent, who is retiring. Williams was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and the majority of his family attended Jackson State.

19   Lafayette

OUT -- Fran O'Hanlon
Mike Krzyzewski isn't the only legend in his conference retiring this year. O'Hanlon, a terrific player once upon a time, spent the past 27 years leading the Leopards. He coached 793 games and is universally respected in the industry.

20    Massachusetts

OUT -- Matt McCall
The Minutemen never found their footing in five seasons under McCall, amassing a 60-81 record. The UMass job has lost the shine it once carried in the post-John Calipari era. That said, could the school try to lure and land a Mark Schmidt or Archie Miller to take the job?

21    Maine

OUT -- Richard Barron
A four-year run went badly under Barron, who previously coached the women's team at Maine. His record: 22-79. Maine is regarded as one of the five toughest jobs in D-I men's basketball.

22    Milwaukee

OUT -- Patrick Baldwin
Had Baldwin's son/namesake not committed to play for his father this season, Milwaukee would have moved on a year ago. But it waited it out and that decision provided without benefit for the Panthers, who went 10-22 and only had Patrick Baldwin Jr. for 11 games. Question is, will Baldwin Jr. now go to the NBA, or was his stock hurt enough that he should stay and transfer to a power conference for a second season?

23    Miss Valley St.

IN -- George Ivory | OUT -- Lindsey Hunter 
Hunter resigned after his third season with the Delta Devils. The team was 8-75 during his time. Ivory, who previously coached at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, is MVSU's fifth coach in a 12-year span. He's one of the best players in school history.

24    Neb.-Omaha

OUT -- Derrin Hansen
A relationship dating back to 1998 has ended, as Hansen was fired on March 6 after 17 years as Omaha's coach. (He was an assistant previous to that.) Hansen guided the program from Division II to Division I, but went 10-45 the past two seasons. The move was a polarizing one locally.

25    CSNorthridge

OUT -- Mark Gottfried
Gottfried's staff was put on administrative leave last spring after violations were uncovered at Northridge. Former Stanford/TCU coach Trent Johnson coached the team to a 7-22 record this season.

26    Northwestern St.

OUT -- Mike McConathy
After 23 years, McConathy is retiring as the winningest coach in Northwestern State history. He won 330 games with the Demons (682 in his career) and made the NCAAs thrice -- 2001, 2006, 2013. His 14-seed Demonds team that shocked No. 3 Iowa in 2006 was one of the classic upsets of the 2000s. 

27     Rhode Island

OUT -- David Cox
Cox was promoted to head coach after Dan Hurley left for UConn in 2018. The Rams were above .500 in Cox's first two seasons but were never NCAA Tournament-level. He leaves Rhody with a 64-55 record. Names Rhode Island will/should look at include former Indiana/Dayton coach Archie Miller, Towson coach Pat Skerry, Bryant coach Jared Grasso, Vermont coach John Becker, Yale coach James Jones and Colgate coach Matt Langel.

28    Sacramento St.

OUT -- Brian Katz
Katz retired in December after more than 12 years on the job. Brandon Laird has served as the Hornets' interim coach. Sacramento State went 10-17 in the regular season.

29    San Diego

OUT -- Sam Scholl
Coaching in the WCC at schools not named Gonzaga, Saint Mary's and BYU is a tough assignment. Scholl was good in his first year (21-15) but sub-.500 since. One source told CBS Sports that USD AD Bill McGillis wants to hire a sitting head coach.

30    Seattle

IN -- Chris Victor | OUT -- Jim Hayford
Victor was moved to interim coach, but was promoted to the full-time job after guiding the RedHawks to a 23-8 record with a share of the WAC regular season title. Hayford resigned in November after using a racial slur during a team scrimmage. A subsequent investigation turned up more inappropriate behavior, leading to his ouster.

31    South Dakota

OUT -- Todd Lee
A surprising firing, as Lee was let go on Thursday after a 66-52 four-year run with the Coyotes. Lee was the 2021 Summit League coach of the year. South Dakota joined Division I in 2009 and is yet to make an NCAA Tournament.

32    Tulsa

Haith is out after eight seasons. Tulsa is in the American Athletic Conference, but the job is nowhere close to what it used to be, and part of that is because the athletic department has been in a hole financially for years. Two sources told CBS Sports that St. John's coach Mike Anderson could possibly be in the mix; he is a Tulsa grad and former assistant. Tulsa could also see if luring Baylor assistant Jerome Tang is achievable, but Tang's primary interests seem to rest with waiting on a true power-conference job. Haith went 138-108 (11-20 this season) and made one NCAA Tournament under Haith. 

33    W. Michigan

OUT -- Clayton Bates
A quick hook for Bates -- he resigned -- after being hired in 2020. Western Michigan was 13-29 and finished last in the MAC this season. The Broncos last made the NCAAs in 2014.

Doesn’t really move the needle for me honestly. He’ll probably be just as good as Wade minus the cheating

Curious what Woodard sold him on with the upcoming NCAA decision.
