OK what the F is all this? I go to the ESPN.com men's college hoop scoreboard. It defaults, as it should, to the NCAA Tournament. I hit the dropdown to see the other action and see 5 :!: :?: :shock: other choices CBI - yep, but when did these guys get higher billing than the NIT? CIT - same issue, I...

^ I had seen the video earlier and noticed that they did not show one outside shot. He might be good, but if he can't shoot the 3, we are back where we were this past season. You also have to take into account that driving to the hoop won't be nearly as easy in D1 as in D2. Agreed. He seems to be a...

^ Yep, Mayhugh just kind of fell off the radar. He hasn't posted to his Twitter or Instagram since before the season.

A little look at Stonehill... Sports-Reference.com gives them a SOS of 361 out of 362, and NCAA.com has their NET at 318. Don't sneer, because that's usually when the opponent bites us in the ass. Still, not great numbers. Roster & stats https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/stonehill/wom...

Playing in DC should make for some really good attendance. League loves it. A10 reports 12,516 in the building today, the second-highest #A10MBB Championship Game attendance ever. But they technically had two locals int he final. Yes, that was precisely why they had such high attendance, VCU and GM...

WNIT is no longer the second-tier tournament. Is the general consensus that the WBIT has taken the second-tier status, and WNIT has been bumped to third tier? I haven't been paying close attention. WBIT only began a year ago, so how'd they bump off the established player so quickly? WBIT https://en...

Mike, how do you explain South Carolina being a top 100 school? They won 2 conference games. Seems to me that their ranking was 100% a byproduct of conference affiliation and not remotely performance related. Play a tough schedule, lose nearly all the games, "earn" a decent ranking. That'...

The selections for this tournament is a joke. System is rigged. The NCAA is getting closer to fracturing between the bigs and everyone else. Power Four took almost half the bids. SEC: 14 bids (of 16 members), NCAA Tournament record Big Ten: 8 bids Big 12: 7 bids Big East: 5 bids ACC: 4 bids MWC: 4 ...

Am I missing anything any teams? McNeese State has former Minuteman Javohn Garcia. He's their leading scorer, and was the Southland Conference POY and Tourney MVP. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/javohn-garcia-1.html And if you want to go full sicko: Louisville (Pat Kelsey) That makes ...

not sure if you are serious - I feel you have been on here for a while and are probably being a wise guy

Yes, he is being a wise guy. MAC is a 1-bid, and will be until the NCAA fractures.

It rewards conference affiliation as a byproduct of playing a much tougher schedule. It's not rewarding for conference status alone.

After being down 18 early, 1-seed Akron fights back and wins. Second-best NET in the MAC is Kent State at 128. No way that's a multi-bid league, but also not a surprise.

How awkward is this? Miami coach Travis Steele and Akron coach John Groce are half-brothers. Same mother, 10 years apart.

Edit: ESPN has certainly milked this storyline for all it's worth. They've mentioned it at least four times.
