even with how thin BYU is after the injuries I wouldn't want to see BYU in a potential 2nd round matchup if I were a high seed. AJ might drop 40+ emptying the clip on your head.

I hope they keep winning because I love to watch AJD play. He’s the type of player that can single handily win you some games.

What a ridiculous decision by the league. It's the best basketball league but this makes them look like a clown show.

the probable #1/#2 draft picks playing back to back tonight, if anything happens to either one of them right before the tourney hell might break loose

I think I am hearing more squeaking and high pitched squeaking sounds on that glass court. Can anyone else concur when they are watching these games for the Big 12 tournament?

BTW, I hate that they are playing on a glass court, too.

I'm assuming Miami will get in, but I don't know how I feel about it. They played a terrible schedule in a terrible conference and had many close games. Part of me thinks they should penalize the MAC (and Miami) for being bad and having a conference tournament. It's the risk you take being in a one bid league and not playing a strong out of conference tournament.

Seton Hall has no shot.

I'd be careful about that. The "First they Came" poem comes to mind.....

Need to get a floor sander out there and rough it up a little. Doesn't need to look answer act like ice.

Wild that Darrion Williams was preseason ACC POY, were freshmen not eligible to be voted or something? How could anyone think that Boozer wasn't going to put up monster numbers. Williams was disappointing considering his price tag coming out of the portal.

To complete the clown show distractions, they should have had a striped basketball like the wnba does

Watching Tennessee - Auburn. Volunteers missing everything and Auburn hitting shots unfortunately.

How did Frank Martin go from coaching K State and making a final 4 at South Carolina to coaching UMass in the MAC?

Also, why didn't UMass parlay any of their success with Calipari and those Camby teams into more success? If you're going to cheat go all in. It's like they dabbled in it and then decided to fold up their basketball program.

As far as Martin goes - he has made 1 NCAA Tourney in the last 13 seasons between SC and UMass which was that Final Four season. He hasn't been that good of a coach.

UMass with Calipari was truly lightning in a bottle. They were great for 5 seasons - 1991-96. I think they won the reg season and post season A10 in each of those years. I went to a ton of those games back then and they were a top 10 program but we know what Cal was up to. As soon as he left they began to descend back to where they were for years prior to him arriving. Bruiser just lived on a couple years of those recruits, couldn't sustain it and that was it. Travis Ford and Derek Kellogg did bring it back for a few years but nothing close to the early/mid 90s teams. The Mullins Center is obsolete for basketball now - they get 1K to 3K fans for MAC basketball and there is no interest locally. They are stuck in conference of Ohio and Michigan MAC programs - very sad to see.
 
That is a TRAGIC (but hilarious) way for Miami to take their first L

Now we wait and see. If they don’t get a bid, what’s the point of playing the games?

He took K State to an elite 8 and South Carolina to a final 4, the last time outside of the final 4 South Carolina made it out of the first round was 1973.

Tennessee getting absolutely screwed by the refs. Auburn looking like a Big East team just wailing on people with no calls.

yeah whatever mojo he had at K State and that one FF season at SC, he's lost it. 234-209 over the last 13 seasons and 1 NCAA tourney appearance. SC fans wanted him out the last couple seasons there and UMass fans want him out now.

The point is he did better at South Carolina than anyone ever, their fans are delusional if they expected better. UMass was dumpster long before he got there, I don't know why he ended up there.

Another bubble just burst. No way a 28-1 Miami team gets left out (yes, I’m not counting their three non-D1 wins as the committee won’t either.
Expand ...
Agreed. One of the things I came here to say is that Miami is really 28-1.

He’s a UMass alum.
