Cluess at iona goes to his 4th ncaa tournament
Most favorable geographic seeding
#3's
Baylor - Tulsa
Florida State - Orlando
Oregon - Sacramento
UCLA - Sacramento
#7's
South Carolina - South Carolina
St Mary's (CA) - salt lake city
Michigan - Indianianpolis
Dayton - Indianianpolis
Least favorable geographic seeding
#11 Rhode Island and #14 Iona to Sacramento; Wagner (Hurley) and Iona (Cluess) are only 40 miles apart. Coincidence?
Dopplegangbang
Oregon and UCLA, both three seeds, both playing first round games in Sacramento, in two different regions. Michigan and Dayton, both seven seeds, both playing in Indianianpolis, in two different regions
Who says the NCAA isn't serious about rape and murder
The NCAA punishes #3 Baylor by making them travel 350 miles to Tulsa and rubs their face in it by putting cross state rival #6 SMU - fresh off a year's probation for academic fraud, unethical conduct and loss of head coach control - at the same venue, only 257 miles from Dallas. Suck it Bears.
Sunshine statement
75 percent of NCAA teams from Florida play first round games in Florida: # 3 Fla State, #4 Florida, # 14 Fla. Gulf Coast; only Miami crosses the border, to Tulsa
Schadenfreude supervillanova
If there is a God in heaven Duke will play Villanova in the Elite Eight. The two classiest coaches in all of college sports who run their programs the right way in very nice suits and with well coifed helmets of hair that is naturally without a stray gray strand meet in a clash of the [strike]whitans[/strike] titans. My prediction: history is made when no fouls are called in an entire college basketball game; at the end of regulation the score's tied; an official tie is declared when both classy coaches meet at midcourt and amdist hugs ad tears of joy decide that neither of their teams deserve to lose because both have played the game the right way it should be played by student athletes; both teams advance to the final four, which is renamed the Final Five-anova, and are named co-national champions by acclamation.

He makes $500K. He really has no interest in leaving the NYC Metro area. There are only a few jobs he'd be interested in that would give him the bump in pay would the change. 4 bids in 6 seasons, and not a single down year is certainly worth consideration, and his records at Post, SCC, and St. Mary's were sick.
I think Cluess's age could factor in to major jobs. I don't know his age but I believe he got a late start coaching at the college level.
I recall (many years ago now) when Selection Sunday meant something to SJU fans. Now, it is an afterthought, and I look a the brackets later to see how mine will shape up. Have had too few opportunities over the past 2 decades to sit in front of the TV and wonder where SJU will be going. Hopefully, we get back to a point where we can, most often than not, have that anticipation again.
I believe the NCAA gives somewhere in the half a million dollars area to the team or league for each game played up to the final four. Does anyone know how this is divided among league members?

Plus he has a sizeable buyout clause in his contract

People said the same thing about Jim Larranaga when he took the Miami job
At 67 years young, he's still going very strong
