P4 NOT MAKING IT TO 2ND ROUND

B1G - 5 Wisc, 8 OhioSt
B12 - 6 BYU
would have been outstanding if puke choked too. what a disaster the acc is.
 
Seems like Georgia just wants to go home. St Louis simply beats them to every ball.
For two years in a row now, UGA didn't deserve a bid. These bottom dweller SEC teams coast into bids. Seton Hall is better than UGA. They beat Xavier by 1 at home. Played one good OOC team, Clemson and lost. Then lost almost every game against a good team in the SEC.
 
6 year extension for Josh Schertz when he's the hottest commodity for other schools. St. Louis has been trying everything to get in the Big East. Could something possibly be in the works?
As the ACC fails again, UConn to ACC becomes more likely and St. Louis is probably the best backfill for us.
 
Talked to 4 people today who have UConn winning it all and someone kept bringing up that 17 of the past 18 winners are 1 seeds or UConn.

It's nice that so many randos think highly of us.
I hadn't realized that, but that's actually crazy. The only non-1-seed, non-UConn team is #2 Villanova in 2016.

You're one of this clown's 598 followers?
No, you don't necessarily only get people you follow in your feed - depends on which feed you're looking at, some of it is algorithmic.

That will be an attractive role - maybe best job in land. They just rarely go outside of the UNC family. But not as high pressure as a UK, they are patient and softer fanbase.

Not sure if they move on him, but you'd think the best young coaches out there would be open to listening. That might be anywhere from Golden to Oats - Oats and his blazers might fit the part.

Just saw the Georgia score, oh my god
And it was a way bigger arse whooping than the final score indicates. St. Louis was up 40 points with 5 or 6 minutes left and they took out their starters. They could've won that game by 45 if they wanted to.

I know nothing about Georgia this year, are they that bad or some SEC bias or what?

They have two ranked wins on the season over Bama and Arkansas. They didn't play anyone out of conference, beat Xavier by 1 point. I think it's just a case of the SEC being overrated and them having a winning record in conference. St. Louis is also a lot better than most people thought, Schertz is excellent.
 
Only way Hurley leaves UConn is if he retires.
Hurley ain't going anywhere. If there is any school with the possibility to grab a big fish (Donovan, Stevens, yada), it's probably UNC. They limit themselves by staying in the family. Oats feels like the best from a personality standpoint, but not sure UNC will want that mold of basketball there as seems anti their cloth.
