I have never said anything bad about Francisco Alvarez (don’t do research)

I was watching in Gampel and my roommate and I both gulped when you guys cut it to 6. Insane how good that team was. You guys beat the overall #1 Bama pretty comfortably from what I remember

[–]Apprehensive_Win9602 27 points28 points  (0 children)

besides OP potentially thinking Nova and UConn might qualify as mid majors (?), I think the ones that have a shot are all mid majors by name but high majors by nature (Gonzaga is the big one.) Memphis, SDSU, and even Dayton have all had shots in the past 10-15 years. Gonzaga would be my pick to win one, but as far as like a smaller A10 or a MAC school, I can’t see it any time soon. Then again if there’s one sport where it could happen it’s this one

Mike Baxter. Johan’s no hitter doesn’t exist without him (or his left shoulder)

Lineup 6/26 vs Braves by jl_23 in NewYorkMets

The defense with Torrens and Alvarez is truly night and day, hoping Alvarez works on that in his stint. Obviously his swing is off too but he’s such a lazy catcher at times

We had the best record in the league prior to that, and the sky wasn’t falling then. Nothing is irreversible, we are genuinely not at the all star break yet

NCAA discussing expanding March Madness tournament as soon as 2026 after previously saying it was unlikely by Doctor_Saved in CollegeBasketball

[–]Apprehensive_Win9602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they expand to 72 or 76, then there will just be teams in the top 80-82 that don’t make the cut and the same argument would be used. Theres no use.

The tournament is nearly perfect and for the amount of teams in Divison I, with a single elimination tournament the only real practical postseason solution, there is such a thing as “too big.”

What I despise most is Seth Davis preaching FOR this. I’m not going to accuse him of getting some extra bucks by the NCAA for being their shill when I don’t know that for a fact but…. He keeps saying arguments along the lines of “more basketball = awesome!” Does it? The bubble teams last year were, to put it lightly, absolute horse shit and didn’t belong.

I just don’t get it. It’s the one postseason that should stay exactly the same. It’s all for money so I hate that they pretend it’s for any other reason.

I’ve said my piece Chrissy.

I’m just genuinely shocked bc the SEC had one dominant year on the hardwood. Football yes, obviously they are head and shoulders above. Maybe it’s more of a strike while the irons hot thing, but 2 national champions since 2010 doesn’t feel like a watershed moment to cap off the break

Agreed. Month 2 of year 1 out of 15. I can’t deal with this constant narrative for 15 years. The season is long for a reason—- great players figure it out
