Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
This Colorado Boise state game is not good basketball. Almost seven minutes without a basket for anyone.
My gall is sufficiently mitigated. Thank you for your concern.
Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Does anybody know the history of how 10 seed play-in winners have done in their first round games against 7 seeds?

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
0-0!
this year was the first time that the lowest-seeded at-large teams were No. 10 seeds. all four of these First Four teams would have avoided the play-in games if it wasn't for the bubble crunch this year. NC State, Oregon, UAB and Duquesne otherwise wouldn't have made it in without winning their conference tournaments.

I think there was a 5th one that stole a bid, too.

This is a wild story... Long Beach State coach, and former Gonzaga/Minnesota head guy... Gets fired/resigns on a Monday, but stays on to coach the team at the Big West tourney. Winds up winning it all and now they play Arizona as the 15 seed.

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
As Bronto said, it's typically been 11 seeds, not 10s. But those 11 seeds have done pretty well. Two of them, VCU and UCLA, even made runs to the Final Four.
Totally Kafkaesque

I can't get any video to load on the ncaa.com site. I've restarted my browser, cleared my cache. Nothing.
Just going with YoutubeTV for now.

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
And I can think of atleast one #13 seed play-in that made it to the Sweet 16 in the most fun run in tourney history.

My niece is on the Morehead State dance team so she got to travel to Omaha. Basically they were going to any site except Spokane.

Whenever I see the name Wagner I immediately think of a guy yelling “you lost your Judaism!” to Larry David.
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.
Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
In a story I just read (by our man Bronto) the Long Beach AD appears to be taking credit for their run to qualify for the tournament, saying he hoped the firing would inspire the team to play better. What an asshole.

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
I am enjoying watching the Wagner coach. He was fun to watch as Howard was fighting back 2 nights ago. And his expressions as they are down 20 to UNC are great. Just sheer frustration and angst about his team despite being a huge underdog. But it is in a way that says I really want to yell but can't because it is UNC and we are Wagner.

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Yeah I saw that. Douche move. I hope the players push back.

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Colorado State should know from their last game that you have to score sometimes.

I must have turned off the Dayton game at the absolute lowest point because I just found out they won and I’m shocked. A-10 cannot be stopped.

Seems like a good place to drop this quote:
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey (on NCAA Tournament expansion) wrote:"We are giving away highly competitive opportunities for automatic qualifiers (from smaller leagues), and I think that pressure is going to rise as we have more competitive basketball leagues at the top end because of (conference) expansion."
