Getting revved up to get real mad about Duke getting a 1 seed.

Only way I would be okay with this is if I could see the future and know that a 16 seed takes them down.

Butler vs Winthrop sounds like the snobbiest match up

Whys that?

This is what happens when you drop your last home game and lose in the first round of the Big East Tournament. Lost that 3 seed.

Eh, Butler was probably seeded right, but imo Florida State does not deserve that 3 seed. I would have flipped those two.

how the gently caress arizona not gonna get a 1 seed

bear the gently caress down wildcats

Yeah Gonzaga doesn't deserve that poo poo. They never play anyone good aside from St. Mary's.

It's so annoying that they get rewarded for winning a ton in their conference. Yet schools like Butler could never get higher than a 5 seed when they would roll through their conferences like the Horizon.

I know they beat Arizona, but the committee does focus on the more recent games. Arizona had injuries at the beginning of the season and then they went on the get a share of the PAC-12 and win their tourney. That weighs more to me than what Gonzaga did.

The problem with this year's 12/5s is I feel bad picking all of the 12s. The one 12/5 I want to go chalk on is Iowa State and they are playing a nasty Nevada team with tons of offense. Iowa State is already licking their chops about playing in KC.

Don't look past Nevada. A looming KU/ISU game in Sprint Center needs to happen.

I'm picking Nevada and Middle Tenn. as my two 12s to upset 5s.

Because you want him to stay at Butler or don't think he's good enough for IU? Other people are already trying to get him, he may be gone regardless. And as to the latter, being a top job is not a permanent designation.

They won't be taken seriously in the AAC either.

That said, the conference does need a 12th basketball school or even an 11th if UConn leaves.

Who else is leaving?

If Wichita St. were to join the AAC, I think it'd be a pretty strong basketball conference. Cincy, SMU, UConn, and Temple all have pretty good programs.

I haven't read any rumors about Big East expansion, but I think it'd be cool. It would be stupid to focus on schools that had a certain religious background. Was the old Big East like that?

This is a good conspiracy theory. I don't think Mack is leaving, but if he did it would probably only be for one of like 4 schools: Indiana, Ohio State, Kentucky, or Louisville

Yeah Mack has a good thing going at Xavier. Unless it's Indiana, I can't see him leaving. However, that would probably mean sucking for a year or two while he rebuilds the program a bit. He may not want to do that.

They had the 30 second shot clock since 1970. The men didn't get a shot clock at all until 1985, and then it was 45 seconds.

I mean it still might not be as fast as you'd like, but they've been ahead of the curve as far as forcing teams to at least attempt shots.

These last two years are Roy's best coaching job, hands down. He is not getting big top 10 recruits anymore. The previous powerhouse teams were full of future first round NBA draft picks. These past two years, not so much, but we almost went back-to-back, and it was done with guys who stayed 3-4 years. Of course, Berry, Jackson, Pinson and Hicks were all 5* recruits, but only one of those guys is getting drafted and probably not in the lottery.

2004-2005:
Raymond Felton
Rashad McCants
Sean May
Marvin Williams

2008-2009:
Tyler Hansbrough
Ty Lawson
Wayne Ellington
Ed Davis
Tyler Zeller

2011-2012:
Kendall Marshall
Harrison Barnes
John Henson
PJ Hairston
Reggie Bullock
Tyler Zeller

2015-2017:
Brice Johnson
Justin Jackson (projected)
Tony Bradley (maybe)

Lmao proof that Roy Williams is an overrated coach.

loving OSU better cut it out and hire Mark Jackson.

Edit: god dammit. Apparently he's in talks with them. This is loving bullshit.
