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.
the NCAA chaos is fully mirrored in the NIT btw: semis of UAB vs. Utah Valley and North Texas vs. Wisconsin—two 2 seeds, a 4 seed, and an "unseeded" team (UNT, basically a 7) that actually has the best efficiency rating

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
The wildest part of the NIT is Wisconsin won three straight games and they were all enjoyable!

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
My teacher in high school used to talk about how when he went to SDSU and he partied every night and often went crossed the border and he nearly died on a beach in Mexico which is why he decided he needed to be a teacher and a christian and transferred to UCSD instead, lol.

Charlton Young, an assistant coach at Mizzou of all places passed up an offer for the job because he was worried about stability in the program. Which sounds like, sorta bad news to me if he's on to anything.

I mean I guess it's just up in the air for Temple, their president resigned yesterday. Landing Fisher is probably a win for them, or as much as they could hope for?

haha their president resigned because he went above and beyond in trying to bust their grad student union including trying to terminate health benefits for striking workers and got his rear end absolutely handed to him, they’re dressing it up in concerns over “campus safety” but it’s 99% because he made them a national laughingstock

as good a hire as really could be hoped for. next season looks to be a disaster still though unless he can convince the 2 of the 5 players left on the roster to return from the portal and brings in a ton more from either VCU or elsewhere. And gets, well, anyone for the recruiting class since they all split when Shrews left also. Going to be a rough year or two regardless I think

Fisher at temple seems like a potential high reward hire for them if it works out. Players seem to love him at least for whatever that's worth.

Trying to capitalize off the excitement of the NIT win since he's a harder sell than someone who just went deep into the NCAA's.

Basically all the whining about Angel Reese taunting Caitlin Clark as if it matters at all (Clark didn't give a poo poo, she knows how this goes), and at least on the surface of things given how much poo poo both of them talk all the time...well it comes off as a little racist that one of them is taking the brunt of the old people worried about taunting.

There was a whole hell of a lot of that going on. Reese won, she gets to talk as much as she wants to. And Iowa kinda got blown out and it wasn't all the refs, even if the refs were horrible.

It’s a lot racist imo. I’m an Iowa fan but the big fuss over Reese being a normal athlete and talking a little smack after literally the biggest basketball win in her school’s history is awful and embarassing, and it’s shocking (but not surprising) to me that coach Mecha-Karen seems to be avoiding criticism after walking all over the court during the middle of the game. Even if she doesn’t mean to, Biden inviting both teams is definitely going to be seen in that context. All the worst people are gonna be applauding her

Who is SDSU losing?

What teams will retain a lot of people next season?

Alabama and Houston I can't see being this good next season especially Houston joining the Big 12 and having that gauntlet to run through.

UCONN and Purdue might retain a lot? But I'll never believe in Purdue again, you bastards. Miami and FAU retaining a lot?

Also plenty of recruiting left just thinking out loud.


Fake edit: maybe Alabama will be back according to this
