lol michigan finds the funniest ways to choke in the final few minutes, it's impressive at this point and "choke" is overused, but it's appropriate for the comedy of ways michigan keeps losing so at least they lose funny

Cobb is slightly blue these days, but Cherokee and other 3rd wave white flight counties are right there. Plus it's been a trendy school for southern Georgia students, who want to be around Atlanta but not *in* Atlanta with all those minorities. And who can't made the grade for Tech or Emory.

no starts tomorrow, just two finals, but both with a lot to recommend them: the Southern at 7 PM, where Furman struggled mightily but got past Western Carolina in OT and will now play 7-seed Chattanooga, who is surging after getting 7-footer and legit inside-outside threat Jake Stephens back from injury. then there's also the Sun Belt at 7 PM; no idea why they couldn't stagger these starts, at least if i have them right this time. the Sun Belt got a little goofy seed-wise so it's 2-seed Louisiana against 8-seed South Alabama, though the numbers between them are a complete wash. also i'm not sure i've ever seen a conference lock down kenpom real estate quite like this (note this was before today's games):

lol, Purdue's first B1G tournament game is against the winner of Rutgers/Michigan, neither of whom we have been able to beat lately aside from a win against Michigan this season. Hope their game goes into sextuple overtime.

Hope their game goes into sextuple overtime. mgoblog referred to this year's Michigan Basketball team as "If drinking bleach and driving a thousand miles an hour into the ocean was a basketball team", so you might be fine. If it's even remotely close, Michigan will find a very stupid way to lose (airballed 3, pass off the back of a teammate, rando 25% shooter makes a shot). Sure, there's the 5% chance of some miracle finish for Michigan but uh y'all got Zach Edey.

Thinking of buying an all session ticket for the Big Ten tournament next year - how realistic is it to buy a nosebleed seat and just move to a better seat at the first media timeout or whatever? Obviously for the latter games that would be tougher if not impossible, but is it doable on the first few days of the tournament?

I’d say incredibly easy for Wednesday and Thursday and maybe even Friday morning games. You might have some more people than usual because it’ll be the first one in the Twin Cities, but I went to the 2017 B1G tournament in DC. The only real packed game was Friday evening, Maryland against Northwestern. I recommend it, too. It’s fun to hobnob with other Big 10 basketball sickos, have beers at the game, and bitch about the refs. I remember talking with some strangers that “yup, my dad and I have been to every conference tournament for the last bunch of years. So glad it’s in DC, we’ve been to Kansas City so many times.” Yup. He was a Nebrasketball fan.

You can usually move down to somewhere closer in the upper deck, but you’re not going to get down to the 200s or 100s. I’m not sure how packed the big 10 tournament is, but I’ve been there for the NCAA and there’s usually plenty of seats to be had.

Louisiana advances out of the Fun Belt. Didn't like their clock management over the last 10 minutes - they quit being aggressive on offense - but they knew how to make shots when they needed. South Alabama doesn't have a chance of dancing, but they would have been a fun team if they did. Isaiah Moore is a hoss. Furman's gonna make it out of the SoCon. Didn't watch enough of that one to form an opinion. Hopefully someone will talk about Frank Selvy when Furman's luck runs out in the big tournament. Because nobody talks about Frank Selvy enough.

At the Superdome for the 2003 SEC Tournament, three friends and I went through the gate and somehow found ourselves following in a line of people and we ended up walking literally to courtside right behind the TV/radio people. I don’t really remember why we left.

busy Tuesday, with at least one game running from 11:30 eastern till maybe 2 in the morning. finals:
starting today: the Atlantic 10 is down this year, almost certainly a one-bid year for the first time since 2005, not even really any candidates for a bid for the first time in the 64-team era. VCU kinda seems like their numbers should be better, and for sure they would get a higher seed than anyone else coming through the A10, but there’s not much to separate their profile from Dayton. with 15 teams in the mix and none of them so bad they can’t win at least one game, this one could get really messy. all games in Brooklyn. in the Metro Atlantic Iona is head and shoulders above the conference; they are legitimately dangerous, and you can just imagine the media circus that’ll gather if Pitino can pick up an upset in the NCAAs. difficult to know exactly how good they are since they haven’t really been tested but they picked up a lot of steam over the course of the year. conference doesn’t have much else to offer, a mediocre Quinnipiac would be the next best team. all games in Atlantic City, baby. the Big West is wide open, no dominant teams but you could easily imagine any of the top 7 seeds getting hot enough to sweep through. UCs Irvine or Santa Barbara probably have the best chance of causing trouble for high seeds, but i’m pulling at least a little for Riverside to finally break through to the NCAA field. all games are in the Las Vegas Dollar Loan Center, which seems like a pretty big tell. the WAC is easily the best they’ve been since almost the entire conference swapped out in 2014, and maybe the best since a bunch of their members left for the CUSA in 2005. unlike every other conference, the WAC seeds by resume through a formula they developed with Pomeroy, so Sam Houston St. is the one seed despite Utah Valley having a one-game lead in the standings. those two are definitely the class of the conference (especially great on defense) though Southern Utah isn’t far behind. all games also in Vegas, but at the comparatively better Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay. finally the ACC, ugh, what a clusterfuck. no teams in the Kenpom top 30 and a profoundly bad lower tier, relegating them to 7th in overall conference strength, and closer to the West Coast in 8th than to the Mountain West in 6th. the league has been profoundly loving stupid this year and it seems nailed on to continue to produce terrible basketball in the ACCT. that said, there is absolutely no predicting this tournament, any of the teams with byes are as likely to drop their first game to a terrible team as they are to win the whole thing. that sort of chaos usually means Duke wins, but Miami’s gotten the job done more often this year, Clemson is possibly resurgent, and Virginia is probably better than their wobble of a couple weeks back. five bids is probably all they get and definitely more than they deserve, but UNC or maybe even Clemson could theoretically play their way in. all games in Greensboro, where they belong. (starting to hit the conferences that people actually pay attention to during the year now so please correct any of my fuckups and toss in whatever else feels of interest!)

I don't think Collins is a good coach (assistant coach Chris Lowery is the reason for the turnaround this season) but he is also somehow the best coach in northwestern basketball history. Thrilled for Buie and Audige, I have no problems with the guys who left to play for actual basketball programs but I'm glad the guys who stuck around were rewarded with the accolades and somehow even though it doesn't feel like it the program's greatest basketball season.
