Ladies and gentlemen, we made it. The start of the NCAA Tournament is exactly one (1) milk gallon expiration away

Why isn’t the selection committee just 12 bracketologists who live and breathe this stuff instead of people with huge financial incentives to help or screw over certain teams/leagues Is that a crazy idea

Whether North Carolina should be in or not is a good debate. Their AD is the chairman of the selection committee but cannot be in the room when the Tar Heels are discussed. But it’s human nature that it doesn’t hurt UNC’s chances when other members of the committee have spent so

One of the best defensive possessions you’ll see all year. Marquette wants/needs to score quick, but they just can’t. The Johnnies are everywhere

We all agree it would be completely hilarious if UConn missed the NCAA Tournament, right

Duke’s winning margin has dropped in each of its last 4 games: 43, 37, 35, 33 That downward trend is obvious, that’s just math. Team is clearly declining, not playing its best ball as we hit the postseason

Apologies for video quality here, but this was a simply deranged way to force OT

The end of regulation in Southern-Grambling was like listening to a toddler tell a story. Nonlinear, not bound by physical law
