Texas-Arlington going down opens up a big hole in the Sun Belt, they would've been a tough 12 or 13 seed.

Princeton is learning about conference tournaments the hard way

Congrats on running the table! Your prize is a semifinal on the road in one of the loudest, most claustrophobic gyms in the nation.

Princeton's going to survive in overtime, but still has to play the Harvard-Yale winner for the title tomorrow. (And I'm sure the committee loves that, since a Princeton loss scrambles the bracket.)

Oh hey, NC Central won the MEAC again. Someone really needs to hire LeVelle Moton.

Texas Southern hangs on to win the SWAC, always nice to see a team that fights through 16 straight away games to open a season get a reward, even if it's just a day in Dayton.

So is ND basketball as evil as their football program? I need too know how I should feel rooting for them against Duke.

Duke Lite in every way, from style of play to roster makeup to Mike Brey being K's only consistently successful protégé.

Middle Tennessee won C-USA, they're really well-balanced and senior heavy and will be a horrible matchup for some 6 seed but I bet the committee sticks them in Dayton to start.

Meanwhile New Orleans-TAMUCC is pretty good late, and New Mexico State-Bakersfield will be worth a look on Pac-12 commercial breaks.

Correct. MTSU is not gonna be a 16 so they definitely won't be in Dayton.

Ah good, an actually intelligent rule. I'd wondered but then just assumed the NCAA would find ways to gently caress good smaller-revenue schools.

edit: actually though it still doesn't go far enough, all the 16s are conference champions who deserve their shot against a 1 seed, Dayton should be entirely teeth-skin-scraping at-large teams.


If you haven't read it yet, New Orleans getting to the tournament after years of recovery is a pretty :unsmith: story:
