https://deadspin.com/report-ncaa-tournament-turns-its-back-on-ted-valentine-1823716556 I predict that Seton Hall will make the Sweet 16 this year but really they're going to crush my hopes and dreams and lose against Kansas in the Round of 32

Georgia's offered Thad Matta the job according to Seth Emerson and a couple other Georgia beat writers. Neat.

After the way he washed out badly his last few years at Ohio State, I wouldn't bet on him. But he was great once and I wish him luck

I'd have been fine with him or Crean but apparently Crean sucked for not getting Indiana to the final four every year?

Coach K depending on how good his team happens to be at the time. But yeah I'm sure Matta feels better now that he's had a year off to recover but it seems like it'd be high risk to flare up again if he got back into coaching and had to be on the road and everything else a lot, or he'd just be checked out like he was at the end with OSU.

News: Lots of rumors that DeAndre Hunter for UVA broke his wrist and will have surgery. UVA never comments on this stuff until they have to, so Virginia fans get to worry and stress. Hopefully not true but there sure seems to be a lot of smoke.

I thought I read somewhere that Matta's health was doing much better and that's why he was interested in getting back into coaching. Could just be smoke and mirrors.

Matta looked totally washed the last few years. At least he’s a good dude though so I guess I’d rather have nice bad Matta than lovely bad Crean.pubic works project posted:I thought I read somewhere that Matta's health was doing much better and that's why he was interested in getting back into coaching. Could just be smoke and mirrors. He has drop foot or something from a hosed up back surgery and has to sit on a chair with like 8 inches of padding on the sidelines just to be in mild pain. Dude probably feels great because he’s been off his feet for a year but as soon as he’s out on a hard court every day I seriously doubt he’ll be feeling good still. His issue won’t go away, he can’t take off or put on his socks/shoes and has to wear some heavy ankle brace just to be able to walk. He’s a wonderful man but physically he is totally hosed.

I can see an argument for giving him another year but any program at IU's level would have been mad about that

I feel like this is an overreaction to say VA won’t make the final four, but that’s partially because I don’t know who else I would put in their place.

But I thought Tubby Smith was kinda poo poo on when UK fired him too, so maybe I'd be a horrible AD who wouldn't recognize sunk cost fallacy when I see it.

UK didn't fire Tubby, he left to take the Minnesota job of his own volition. Now, was a lot of the fan base wishing they would fire him? Yeah, and he clearly saw the writing on the wall. Most fans seem to revere him now though, and I think he'll have his name in the rafters soon.

MourningView posted:Kentucky fans pretending they always loved Tubby is super funny if you actually remember Tubby's tenure there at all The two following years of Billy Gillespie did a lot to change their perspective. Hell, they gave Joe B Hall the same treatment at the end of his tenure too, and that gave us Eddie Sutton and a near death penalty. For what it's worth, I've always liked Tubby and was kind of sad how he was treated by our fans, and this being the state it is I'm sure race had something to do with it. Basketball wise, people always point to no more final fours after winning it all his first year, but 2003 and 2005 were arguably his best teams, and were one Dwyane Wade and one double overtime loss to Michigan St away from two more final fours. Win even one of those games and I'm not saying he's still here, but would have been well beyond 2008.

The problem I'm having as an Arizona fan is that their lack of PG depth makes it really hard for them to build leads even against bad teams, which pretty much always sets them up for upsets, even when Ayton is having good games. They are worse at dealing with the zone this year than last year and they couldn't deal with it well enough last year to stop from getting beat by it. With that said, Ayton is enough of a monster that when he's playing his BEST games, he has the potential to beat any team with even nominal help. It's tough to predict what they're going to do this year for me.

Virginia is still good enough to beat anyone in their bracket, it's just the margin for error is a lot more slim and they should probably be considered more of a 2/3 seed rather than the outright #1. That said, I expect them to trail in the UMBC game as late as the first media timeout of the second half, and I'm really looking forward to the narrative when UVA does get knocked out before the Final Four.

If Matta can get Georgia into the tourney every other year or something cool. Fox was an awesome dude and did cool goofy poo poo like paint his body for football games but it's a shame he wasn't a very good coach.
