Dribble up the sideline and picks up the ball right after getting over halfcourt. SMH. Baylor did not deserve to win this game.

I thought Baylor was the better team most of the game.

They are definitely the more talented team, but they play with their heads up their butt.

the team that has led the majority of the game and outplayed the other is going to walk out of there with the win as they should have

Another SEC team goes down.

Another SEC team goes down.

More to come shortly. Stay tuned

Southleast Conference on a roll. Bama will save face

This is what saving face looks like?

 

[AidanFan20]

Hmm... I thought they changed the rule about calling time out when already in the air on the way out.

RMU put a scare into Bama for 36 minutes, but Nelson and Sears taking over now. Bama up 8. looks grim for the kids from Moon Township.

I don't even think Dickerson was D2 before this year. Played in some community college league in Missouri. Will be interesting to see if he goes portal.

I think the best conference I ever saw was the 2011 Big East. It got 11 bids and its 9-seed won the national championship. How did that conference perform? I still think this is the best conference I ever saw.

1 (1 seed) Pitt: lost in Second Round to Butler
2 (2 seed) Notre Dame: lost in Second Round to Florida State
3 (4 seed) Louisville: lost in First Round to Morehead State
4 (3 seed) Syracuse: lost in Second Round to Marquette
5 (6 seed) St. John's: lost in First Round to Gonzaga
6 (5 seed) West Virginia: lost in Second Round to Kentucky
7 (6 seed) Cincinnati: lost in Second Round to UConn
8 (6 seed) Georgetown: lost in First Round to VCU
9 (3 seed) UConn: won National Championship
10 (9 seed) Villanova: lost in First Round to George Mason
11 (11 seed) Marquette: lost in Sweet 16 to UNC

Forgot how putrid the rest of the league did that tournament. Maybe the league wasn’t as good as you thought

 

[Jaydumo20]

Fun to hear Jay Wright put Seth Davis in his place.
Davis went on a mini rant about hurleys attitude and the weakness of our team.

Wright: oooh some words from the media guy. Dan Hurley is a stellar coach, a great dude, and the team is better than you think.

 

[AidanFan20]

Dickerson was indeed a JC player last two seasons.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I really like Dain Dainja on Memphis. This guy barely played for Illinois last year. There is a lot of talent out there that coaches just do not recognize or appreciate.

Or, and hear me out, given that it's prone to somewhat random outcomes, perhaps a single game eliminate tournament isn't the best way to judge the strength of a conference.

We are not talking about a single game though. The SEC is going to play 14 games in the first four and first round alone.

And this is more true just about every year (except for the UConn games the last couple).

Seth Davis is a dork who has always reached and sought out any little thing he could find to criticize or belittle the Huskies. Glad to hear Jay Wright put him down.

Khaman Maluach sounds like a name I'd come up with instantly, under duress, if I was 15 and the police demanded to know my name after grabbing me coming out of a bar.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I'm feeling differently about Florida. This conference is not the juggernaut that this conference paid to be able to say about this conference.

Imagine getting to the Sweet 16 as an 8 seed because the entire SEC was overrated by multiple seed lines.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I really like Dain Dainja on Memphis. This guy barely played for Illinois last year. There is a lot of talent out there that coaches just do not recognize or appreciate.

If I recall he was one of the few Illini who had a decent game against us (albeit mostly in garbage time).

Could have been fifteen but mighty Texas didn't make the first round............

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Of the early games, I am rooting for whatever outcome keeps Hubert Davis in Chapel Hill longer.

Is Ole Miss the underdog today?

 

[Inyatkin]

What is the benefit of playing Flagg against a 16 seed?
