The Jayhawks are a great band.

I'm guessing Paul Silas has to be part of the answer

Trivia.....
What NBA legend once was the coach of Creighton and who was his star center selected third in the NBA draft?

"Number 19, Captain Willis Reed!" The Center was Benoit Benjamin, who IIRC was a nephew or cousin of his.

What does it feel like to be beaten to the punch?

Creighton is the class of the Big East. Creighton. Does anyone even know where that is?

Safely in the NCAA tournament field?

What does it feel like to be so smug?

Creighton also has a pro arena to call home, and is usually packed. Can’t really knock the program really, great fan base, Omaha is actually pretty nice...for a middle of nowhere city. If you plan to travel for big east games, you won’t be disappointed.

Nice job my man. I'll throw another one at you. What 4 basketball hall of famers did the Clippers pass on to draft Benjamin?

Obviously the BE is much better but I do believe the American teams are better every year than what they are ranked at the end of the season. We have a brutal conference for traveling and we all just beat other up in conference play but the wins don’t count for much and the losses weigh on us. Glad to be getting out

NCAA performance don't lie

The "beat each other up" excuse worked in the Big East. Not here. Any version of the AAC is a joke even compared to the BE's worst seasons

Val's segment begins at about 24:30. for those who are interested in hearing something other than what Aresco is. Fact based, competent, powerful.

They'll really love the XL Center.

ESPN's Joe Lunardi now has Houston as an 8 seed, Tulsa as a 12 seed, Cincy first four out, Wichita next four out. AAC tournament is going to be a rock fight.

Should be noted that Tulsa is in as the placeholder automatic qualifier. They are not likely to make it at large.

Lunardi continues to be such a moron I can't believe he actually even has a "Bracketology". His chin has to be P5 sore!

Thanks, I did not know that.
