Heres some cool free bets to win: texas wins at least 1, wvu wins at least 2, baylor depends on bracket but prob wins at least 1, iowa state early exit (might win one) same with kansas

Normally it is safe to pick an early exit KU but this year feels different, just saying.

Fun fact: Shaq only won a single SEC Tournament game as well, and he had three years!

Also, does anyone really trust LSU's AD, who tried to run Les Miles out of town, to fire/hire any other coach?

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
So the 1 seeds at this point pretty much have to be Kansas, Michigan State, Villanova, and UVA/UNC winner, yes?

As Good At Teaching Discipline As He Is At Half Court Offense

I remember we had this discussion a few years ago. I was wrong. But in my defense, I didn't think any DI bball coach was clueless enough to consistently sabotage his own offense. I was wrong.

Not sure who the hell we get to replace him, but hopefully Whitman can find the right guy. Probably another lost year next year though...

The OOC schedule was pretty rough, but some of that was out of our control (I doubt it was expected that FSU would bomb so badly in the Paradise Jam, for example). The real issue, IMO, was two-fold: not participating in the Big 12-SEC Challenge (our decision, and it hurt our OOC) and dropping games to teams like Missouri and Georgia. If we're not in, a lot of the blame rests on us, but it's obviously still a disappointment on some levels.
