My friends are going nuts posting images of michigan a half game back in the standings, lol

Who gives a poo poo about conference titles. I think I stopped caring about them like 20 years ago when a decent illini team was co champs despite having a head to head win because there wasn't a tie breaker, something like that

Edit hot drat I remembered right, co champs with MSU , went 1-0 against them. That was the team that had 6 players foul out against gilbert arenas and arizona

there are inexplicably like 30 good coaches with ties to the minnesota but he'd probably be on the list. I assume they'd go after Musselman first but can't imagine he bails for a tougher conference when he has a good thing going to Arkansas, which has a higher recruiting ceiling anyway.

it sounds like pitino might pull a steve alford and bail for new mexico before minnesota fires him which is very funny

My grandpa had a chat with a Creighton booster and the impression he got was that the lesson McDermott has learned is “keep your assistant coaches on a tighter leash”

I know a lot of Arkansas fans have been “lol no way he goes to Minnesota” but I’m actually a little worried about it. I hope we give the man a check for $Texas to stick around. I don’t know that we will be a top 10 team again anytime soon after this year, but pay Muss whatever he wants and let’s find out

Outside of Dutcher, I think the rest of those awards are accurate. Queta is the only reason USU was on the NCAA bubble for so long. Medved also did a phenomenal job, though I still would’ve gone with Dutcher.

justice for bill carmody.

that was the most insane thing in the world, holy cross even had purple jerseys and they were running the same offense with the one guy who could shoot, if they all just changed their names to Balkan form it could have been northwestern.

The AP story on it is funnier. Apparently App State has a grad transfer from SNHU (yeah, the one in the commercials) that warmed the bench, and then turned into Stephen Curry in the conference tournament. 20 3s in four games

Championship games tomorrow:
  • Colonial, which was a real mess this year, between a Drexel team that was conference-best in Kenpom but finished 6th, and 8-seed Elon
  • Horizon, where actually good team Wright State got knocked out in their first conference tourney game, so it's between 2-seed Cleveland State and 5-seed Oakland, who thanks to a brutal schedule started the season 0-9
  • Northeast, where Bryant would be a little bit better than their usual cannon fodder, if they can beat Mount St. Mary's
  • Summit, where Oral Roberts could be the first non-Dakota champ in 9 years, if they win a coin flip against North Dakota St.
  • West Coast where Gonzaga Gonzaga Gonzaga (although it would be funny if Pepperdine beat BYU tonight to reach the final)

Auburn G Justin Powell, after ten games looking like an all-freshman when his season was ended by a head injury, will transfer "closer to home", Kentucky said to be the favorite with Louisville also in the mix. Really unfortunate situation -- he apparently took a blow to the head late in the first half at Texas A&M, nobody's really identified the play, I asked a writer and all he knew was that the word is he bumped into Stretch Akingbola.

Nobody seemed to realize it at the time, wasn't pointed out on the broadcast or anything but it turned out to be a pretty serious concussion with lingering effects, he wasn't participating in team activities at all for weeks, only attended practice or games very late in the season. Wish him the best, hope he didn't feel like his treatment was inadequate or that he isn't seeking to get cleared to return when maybe he shouldn't be. If he's healthy he should make an immediate impact wherever he goes, and it was specifically noted when he was turning heads that this Kentucky team probably could've used a scoring threat like him.
