The NCAA Tournament Thread

[sjc88]

People were fooled because top of conference was all bunched up and had good records but didn’t take into account the lack of strength of the conference.

Look at the New Mexico Schedule. Keep in mind they are an auto qualifier as they won their Tournament.

Where are the good wins Outside of the conference? Watching this game vs Clemson I don’t know how they got 26 (!?) freaking wins. Laughable.

Pitino Jr. is just a terrible coach.

We are getting close to Andrew Hurley time in the Uconn game.

Pitino Jr. is just a terrible coach.

Massiello a dud too. The succession plan looks shaky at the moment.

I'm trying to not dread the future. lol

Good news is Coach should be back in NY area soon for visits.

He won't be away this weekend or next week following his son around...

Probably best for ALL parties that when the time comes, hopefully several years away from today that the next Coach is not named Pitino. Just not a good idea. Same when the Jarvae tried to push the idea.

Missed that one, I was switching back and forth with UAB game once I saw Marquette had things in hand.

"I Love That I Came to Wisconsin:" A.J. Storr Enjoys Terrific Sophomore Season in Madison

Storr is averaging a team-best 16.9 ppg.

Here's a nice article on Storr. So far he has only appeared in 2025 mock drafts (2nd round) but a srtong showing in tournament could certainly help him sneak into 2024 second round. I'm a fan and imho he would benefit from another year with the Badgers.

He let his best shooter pickup 4 fouls in 2 mins pressing. 3 basically in a row.

5 talented guys who don’t play together at all.

Mountain West are frauds

Hopefully this is a one-time mistake by the committee.

Hopefully this is a one-time mistake by the committee.

The committee with a straight face said let’s put in 6 mountain west teams and 3 Big East teams. Absolute sham.

Resting Kolek recently was smart move, played great today with 18 points, 11 assists. Jones, Mitchell & Kolek such a dangerous guard trio

There was no mistake. They distributed the bids and $ how they did purposefully.

Auburn on the ropes. Amazing how these kids come out of nowhere and have the game of their lives. Referring to the kid who has a career most points in a game.
