American, 3:15 PM: Houston has the 1 seed locked up and the field will be basically set by the time this finishes so this game probably means a lot more for Memphis, if that actually matters (it won’t)

Sasser injured his groin in the first half of the Cincy game (slipped on the floor and did the splits) and is questionable for today's game. His health is the top priority, so they really should just sit him until next weekend, and even until the second game if we make it that far

Kraft's first big act as AD should be giving Shrews a fat extension ASAP.

I would say build him a statue, but that hasn't gone well in the past.

If they win today, just text him a picture of a Brinks truck and say "Call us plz"

Yale's probably gonna lose, so many of the potentially fun mid-majors won't be in an NCAA field already starved for quality

yeah for sure, if you're Houston you look at your team and at this year's competition and know that it's not likely you're gonna have a clearer shot

This whole 2nd half has been Yale shoot itself in the foot repeatedly, make a small amount of progress and continue shooting itself in the foot.

Princeton's nothing more than solid, enough for here, but probably not going to get them any upsets.

Not that both teams deserve it, but I did start wondering When's the last time the Ivy had two bids? Has the Ivy ever had two bids?

I don’t think the Ivy has had two bids. Maybe back in the 40s or 50s or something.

only the champion of each conference was allowed to enter until 1975, by which point the Ivy would long since have been eclipsed as an athletic powerhouse. (the "Ivy League" moniker was only informal up till the actual conference was formed in 1955, but it was a carryover from the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League, which was the earliest college "conference" started back in 1901.

(also back in the 40s and early 50s the NIT was usually considered the more prestigious tournament anyway).

College basketball should have a 7 foot cap. Watching tall idiots with no actual basketball skills like Edey just put the ball in the basket is pretty boring.

unless Sasser's genuinely hurt beyond the first weekend Houston's still a solid pick, they have nothing left to prove in the American conference

Purdue sucks every year, and yet they still won both the regular season title and conference tournament. Matt Painter couldn't even give these away successfully.
