Perrantes has the yips again tonight. They can maybe beat Pitt without him functioning, but not much of anyone else.

Jordan Geist is kind of a hilariously annoying player, if Missouri was worth watching I think all of you would absolutely hate him.

Wait do they want to fire Manning or something? Just send him down I-40 to Raleigh. Hell, we'll send a car.

Nahhh but they're talking about us maybe missing the tourney which no loving way and how the team was "lazy" in the second half. They were tired on D but Christ, that's gonna happen when your two stars are sophomores playing against seniors and grad transfers on 5 days rest while your stars played 30+ minutes each the night before. And it was still close FFS.

From general observations and talking with the guy who runs Backing the Pack, I have no idea how any of y'all SBNation or other semi-official blogging types handle the teeming masses of the college sports world. So many of them are just the absolute worst.

Nah, but I think they said it's still only his third win on a neutral court in three years? Jesus that's unbelievable if true.

e: Looked it up, they won @Chaminade in 2014 and beat Tulane on a neutral court this year. Other than that winless away from Mizzou Arena until tonight.

I think Wake is pretty safe, even if they're dumped into the First Four graveyard. The bubble has so many mediocre teams this year that I don't know if you can make a serious case for leaving the Deacs out.

Yeah, there is no way in hell Wake gets left out, 34 in RPI and 31 in kenpom. It seems like they are currently projected as a play in game type team, but I honestly think they'll get a 10 seed.

All of their equipment cannot be removed from the plane due to the investigation.

More than a little worried about UNC playing this well. Not sure who can hang with them, hoping Louisville gets the chance tomorrow.

At least the bracket rules out a Duke-UNC final.

Ok, it'll take some doing to lose this for TCU after that.

I like how the KU guy who bowls over someone shooting a three thinks he didn't foul anyone.
