Who is SDSU’s all time assist leader?

HINT: He’s in the baseball HOF

No googling!

Sort of an A10 connection to the game that just ended, as Jim Larranaga, who made his mark as a coach with GMU (although they were not A10 then) wins based on the performance of Jordan Miller, who transferred to Miami from GMU.

Let us not forget he was very interested in the UMass head coaching job, back in the day. Late 1970s I believe.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

FAU - Miami final would be cool to see, a nice South Florida rivalry matchup. And seeing UConn get bounced would be a lot of fun.

North Texas absolutely should have been in the NCAA tournament. I think it is time they use their NET rankings fully where the top 40 at noon on selection sunday get auto bids. This year North Texas (38) and Rutgers (40) get bids. I would also eliminate any team above 60 so this year Ariz St, Pitt, and Florida would have been eliminated. The last two spots should have come down to Oklahoma St, Liberty, Oregon, Ohio St, New Mex, Providence and Clemson. I would have gone with Providence and Liberty with New Mexico and Clemson as first two out.

100%-makes it feel like the CBI or just another tournament.

Another college hoops tradition bites the dust.
