Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Conference tournaments starting today:
  • America East, where Vermont is head and shoulders the best team;
  • Colonial, tossup between Hofstra and Northeastern, though Charleston's decent too;
  • The Summit, where it would be a real shame if Mike Daum and South Dakota State didn't get in

The first automatic bid will be clinched tonight over in the Ohio Valley, where Belmont plays Murray State in a coin-flip game to see which excellent team gets to give a 5 or 6 seed fits. Tune in at 8, on paper it's the best mid-major conference final out there.

Best thing about Tennessee losing is that UK can get the 2 seed in the SEC with a win today. That means UK would play the 7pm game Friday and Tennessee gets the late game, which is huge since the winners of those games have to play the next day at 3:30. No team has ever won the SEC tournament out of that late night Friday game.

How much did losing Taylor hurt them? He's been kind of a disappointment for Northwestern this year.

Taylor was a pretty big loss I'd imagine. It's hard to tell since almost the entire team defected.

PotatoJudge posted:

If Walter can recruit I think he'll have them competitive in 2-3 years. It's a big hill to climb though, considering UE's athletic budget is $7.25 and some expired McDonald's coupons.

Considering there's a d2 commuter school just outside of town (u of southern indiana) that recruits better than Evv I'm not getting my hopes up.

edit:on the other hand Evansville has an Oscar Winner (Remi Malek) as one of its alumni so the sky's the limit!

Justin Robinson gonna miss the ACCT most likely, hasn't been cleared by doctors yet, going in for re-eval in the next few days. Really hope he gets to at least play in the NCAAT. On the other side of the bench, half the fanbase assumes Buzz Williams bails after the season if one of the big Texas jobs opens up. VT basketball insider on 247 also said he's recently heard Buzz is considering trying to be VT basketball's Beamer, especially with Roy and K likely to be done coaching in the mid-term.

Still hard to believe this Purdue team is the same that got soundly beat by Notre Dame in December. Nice to see Trevion Williams have a good game today too.

I don't mean to poo poo all over your frustration, and I can definitely understand how infuriating that can be, but... that's practically industry practice now. Lie up until you're out the door. Everyone does that.

Not expecting much out of the rest of the season without Zion but it’d be nice if players stopped dying in the UNC game.

No matter what happens season still ruled just getting to watch the the freshmen and especially Zion.

Also sad to see anyone cheering for Roy Williams and UNC the corniest man and fan base in all of college basketball

This was a good game although Belmont obviously wilted terribly at the end.

I wouldn't cry about it too much if Belmont snuck in anyway, although I have no idea if there's actually a chance of that.

The game was p. much the Cassius Winston show in the second half. I have lots of complaints about hot garbo officiating throughout, but the main stories of the game were Cassius Winston doing Cassius Winston things, while Michigan's offense died in the second half again.

Unclear if it was due to natural causes, or getting shot by zebras :v:
