Hell yeah, he definitely deserved it. I gotta imagine Tony Bennett is gonna win NCAA CotY, but I wonder if Barnes has a shot at it

Probably under Pearl, Bennett and a couple others, but equally as deserving.

When is the NCAA award announced? I imagine that a lot of Tony Bennett's case is going to ride on their tournament performance. There are a lot of people who are convinced that UVA isn't built to make a run in the tournament, and if UVA gets bounced in say the Sweet 16, that #1 ranking is going to be for naught and I can see the votes going to someone else.

On the AP side, Barnes won COY for the conference, and Maten from UGA was POY. Auburn did have a player make first team, too.

He really has. And considering the Vols only have 1 senior, this is a very talented team that will still be intact for next year as well.

Considering what Missouri had, what Missouri recruited and what Missouri ended up not having I think Cuonzo did pretty well too.

Not well enough to actually win or anything, but maybe enough to make the by far conversation.

Suckers like a comeback story. I’m honestly surprised Barnes got the conference award too.

But yeah, it’ll be Tony Bennett or whichever SEC coach gets farther in the SEC Tournament.

Tennessee was pinned to be 13th in the SEC and Auburn was 9th so really Barnes had lower expectations than Pearl. Auburn won the head to head in regular season, but that's really the only leg he's got up on Barnes. Same in conference record, similar overall records, though Auburn played one more game (why?) than UT.

There's definitely an argument to be made for both of them, so I don't get being surprised either way.

I hope both teams end up in the tournament championship and Tennessee wins to really settle it.

women's college basketball is like 50 years behind the men's. they didn't even have a ncaa tournament until 1982. IMO uconn's dominance is similar to UCLA in the 60's and 70's. the women's game will slowly become more balanced over the next few decades.

ISU's path to the NCAA gets a little clearer!

(A lot of dominoes would have to fall the right way, but ISU beating OSU in the championship game, plus Baylor taking one over WVU would likely send all 10 Big XII teams to the NCAA tournament, and that would be worth Tech missing out on the Dallas regional slot to me.)

If Joel Embiid (or even Cliff Alexander) played for the Illini you'd want them to at least play in the tournament.

So I (and by "I" I mean someone on reddit) figured out why Barnes was the SEC Coach of the year and not Pearl, aside from the 13th/9th in the SEC thing:

Women's parity was actually greater in the 1970s. Smaller schools tended to field teams faster. The entirety of the AIAW title games were:
1972 Immaculata 52–48 West Chester State
1973 Immaculata 59–52 Queens College
1974 Immaculata 68–53 Mississippi College
1975 Delta State 90–81 Immaculata
1976 Delta State 69–64 Immaculata
1977 Delta State 68–55 LSU
1978 UCLA 90–74 Maryland
1979 Old Dominion 75–65 Louisiana Tech
1980 Old Dominion 68–53 Tennessee
1981 Louisiana Tech 79–59 Tennessee
1982 Rutgers 83–77 Texas

Louisiana Tech continued to be a top school through the mid-1990s, despite being ruled by a draconian regime who insisted they be "ladylike" and continue wearing sleeved jerseys. Unfortunately, the last reports out of Louisiana Tech were Tyler Summitt's sexcapades. Summitt's stint was a complete disaster, starting with his hiring.

On that note, when the AIAW began sanctioning national championships, very few players had actually played 5-on-5. Many were still in the 3-on-3 with others in the slightly advanced "rovers" stage. Even more high schools didn't even field high school basketball teams until after 1975.

We weren't the only state that did it or even the last! Oklahoma ended it two years after Iowa did. It was a bigger deal in Iowa though, there are old people who are still mad that it's gone.

Also I assume he said 3 on 3 that's what he meant. It was basically two half court 3 on 3 games

It's absolutely unsustainable on the back of a senior-heavy team and they'll be back under .500 next year but for now it's been nice to see UH actually have a non-embarrassment of a basketball team for once. I mean, I was there (and so were you!) for the Clyde Drexler years.

I'm starting to wonder how much longer UH is going to be able to hang on to Sampson, eventually he's going to win enough to rehab his reputation and some P5 with money to burn will come calling.
