Decent source of updated information (Tournament record of all active coaches with at least 10 games coached)

https://www.dbwoerner.com/basketball/coaches/coach123.html

amazing, Rick Barnes is tied with Huggins with the most losses for active coaches.  Barnes has the most games coached and a winning percentage under 50%, unless he goes on a big run this year.

Wasn’t really in question, but this proves OKST didn’t deserve a bid. The best part of our resume was sweeping ISU. Their offense is as bad as ours, worse today.

Tha fuck, isu?  4 points in 10 minutes to open the first half, then 6 points in 9 minutes to open the second half?

Their game flow chart looks like a exercise bike warmup routine.

Oof, he stepped out. Idiot. That might have sealed it for Creighton

The win at ISU is still pretty nice. Beating them at home is sort of ho-hum.

Lol that was 44 years ago grandpa (I was 12)….

yeah, I have no idea why I remember that except that Al McGuire was the commentator and he kept telling the Penn coach to put his star player back in the game in the 2nd half.   The player was in serious foul trouble. 

[Js1 85460]

Creighton advances 

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

At least ISU has baseball season to look forward to

[shadow_operative 15932]

this fau vs memphis game should be a good one. two pretty damn good teams for an 8 vs 9 game.

I would argue Digger Phelps as most underachieving coach in ncaat.

What the HELL cyclones ???

ONLY 32 points scored in 35mins

Way to rep the big 12, limp dicks.

[JGrayDBU 343]

After a second look at that list of coaching records, it appears to need a bit of updating.  Boeheim is now retired, and that list does not include Barnes' victory yesterday, so for the moment Barnes holds one distinction and about to hold another.  

 

1. most years coaching in the tourney among active coaches. 

2. Since he is tied, after Tenn. loses tomorrow he will be the leader for most losses in tournament play while maintaining a losing record in tourney play.  

[Underdog 28761]

C'mon, Iona.

For some reason they don't show Tenn's win yesterday which brings Rick's record to an even .500.

Bob Weltlich thinks they score too much.

He’s done tomorrow imo 

[Underdog 28761]

Bill Murray sighting. 

[The Ace of Aces 5193]

UConn showing why they can and imo do make the Final Four. They can go on insane runs for prolonged periods to annihilate a team. 

[Paul Wesley 3287]

FDU needs to start using all of the shot clock.

[Scraps 13570]

Hadn't been watching....looked up to close up shot of FDU coach. Thought he was a little person. Was about to have my mind blown then realized he is not a little person

[Scraps 13570]

Zach Edey is about to play against the shortest roster in D1.   This should be a freak show game.

Yeah Jaws from JB movies kid should have 20 rebounds

[Dr Phil WIth Hair 273]

Anyone called in a welfare check on Al?

[MonkeyDoughnut 10336]

FDU out rebounding Purdue on both ends of the court...

[CurlyDumps 4477]

Purdue is Virginia'ing.

[Scraps 13570]

Purdue needs an athletic 4 man cause Edey is a statue

[Loop 1604 227]

Where was this version of Purdue in R2 last year? 🤬

[Scraps 13570]

Nice fucking pass

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

[conVINCEd 21469]

Tazing my nutsack and fisting my asshole are levels of commitment that I don’t currently have for the teams I cheer for.  YMMV.

It's time to shrink the field so shitty teams like ISU can't get in, Cyclone Larry.

FDU coach has the head of a midget

Damn nice lob by the Friars.

[shadow_operative 15932]

this purdue result is totally understandable:

plus they went 20-15 and didn't even win their conference tourney. 😂 this would make UMBC > UVA look like a fair matchup. 

[Helobious 9464]

Have people not watched March madness before? Purdue is going to ass fuck them in the 2nd half. The cinderellas always run out of gas

[Underdog 28761]

BigO already with 13 boards.

[Pancho 44903]

For-profit indoctrinating machine disguised as an institution of higher learning Grand Canyon finally woke up. They have to stop fouling though

Tha fuck?

I watch a fair amount of college basketball. I have a decent grasp on how the field is selected. But I have absolutely no clue how the 298th team in Kenpom makes the tourney without winning their conference OR conference tourney.
