Aztecs have a tough stylistic matchup with UAB today. They can’t score but defend extremely well. UAB can score, draw fouls, and play fast with Gaines and Yaxel.Mountain west down three now - CSU, Boise and Nevada bounced. Three left. Presume Aztecs will be toughest out.
Absolute joke they doubled our bids.
Local guy Mike O’Connell is not a shooter, but is a team first distributor really helping NC State. Had six assists and five rebounds in 37 minutes yesterday and playing well down the stretch

Matchups make fights as they say.
I am so jaded that I think the NCAA will flip back to “who is playing their best” if that is the criteria they need to get a certain school a bid.I am not very surprised by this. The NCAA, for their own reasons, now consider games played in November the same as a conference tournament final. Which is crazy and dumb and so of course they do. These teams are playing their best ball of the season right now, nothing wild about them beating the teams they were matched up against. A surprise would have been Virgina advancing. They have been awful since the calendar changed from 2023 to 2024.
I hate to hate on Yaxel but I’m not impressed by teams who make the tournament by beating teams who have a financial interest in losing.Was literally just telling one of my partners at work today that’s my game of the day that I want to see
Of that I have no doubt.I am so jaded that I think the NCAA will flip back to “who is playing their best” if that is the criteria they need to get a certain school a bid.
You do know all 5 Charleston starters yesterday came down w swamp fever?Charleston/Alabama - This one is on my radar. The SEC has shown us who they are already. And Bama has been shaky all year to me. This Alabama team has 11 losses. They went 21-11 this year. Does that really scream "4 seed" to you? This team is overseeded, plays bad defense, and is going against a solid opponent in Charleston. I expect this game to at least be close

Agree
It was a comparison of Luis and Storr . I think Luis might be more Athletic than Storr but , that doesn’t mean Storr doesn’t have athleticism.Storr has pull n tee of athleticism see some of his put back dunks and blocks this season.

My worry is- we (Big East fans) have been rooting in a vacuum that the rest of the Country doesn't see (not sure how with the past Champs) or they are actively anti-nonFootball schools... dunno... but this year's selection should be a Wake up call... If Creighton/Marquette make a stronger showing then expected this Big East debate should be over. I also hope they don't bring back the head of the committee that made these ridiculous assessments. The damage he has done cannot be remedied.
