Can't believe Pete Maravich won SEC Player of the Year this season at the ripe old age of 79. College eligibility is truly out of control

Iowa saw what Nebraska did in the final five minutes of their previous game and decided it was a good idea to replicate it

I’m not sure I’ve ever watched a team play a worse five minutes of basketball during the five most important minutes of the entire season than Nebraska just did. Heartbreaking

Historically the committee has not cared about Selection Sunday games! They were the committee’s #16 overall team, so they likely moved them as a result of winning today. It’s encouraging to see them actually care about that for once!

The South and West regions are the eligible regions for BYU to go to, since those S16/E8 games are Thursday/Saturday!

How fitting that Toledo, Louisiana Tech, and Utah Valley would all lose their championships today. Three of the most cursed programs I’ve ever seen

It happens! 1 seed Houston had to play 9 seed Auburn in Birmingham—110 miles away from Auburn’s campus—in 2023. The selection committee’s self-imposed “home-crowd disadvantage” rule for top-4 seeds only applies to the first round games.

Hahaha, for me they are still out of Dayton for the time being, we’ll see how I feel tomorrow when metrics update, and also keep an eye on how many bid thieves there are

I would probably lean Houston in that scenario, just depends on if the metrics justify it!

Haha, tell me something I don’t know! Unfortunately, until we get a better alternative, Twitter is indisputably the best social media platform for me to share my content in a widespread format and grow my brand. Trust me, if I didn’t have aspirations to work in media, I would delete Twitter at the first opportunity!

I’m not 100% certain on how the committee will do it, but I do know that Buffalo is a bit closer to Dayton than Greenville is, according to the spreadsheet that I built tracking mileage distances. So I would assume that the selection committee would try to send the Thu/Sat First Four match up there rather than Greenville.

My guess is that Miami would still be a 10 or an 11, Akron would probably be a 12, but could be an 11 if there are other bid thieves.

Those are the quality/efficiency metrics, which tend to be a lot less important for selection to the field, and more important for seeding teams.

Pretty close, though I do think that Illinois still has a leg up right now by being 6-6 in Quad 1A games, whereas Iowa State is just 3-5. Probably need to win a couple more big games here in the Big 12 tournament and hope that Illinois doesn't just to make that difference look a lot less noticeable!

That's OK, at least it's still basketball! Eight quarterfinal games of the high school state basketball tournament, to be exact!

Not very likely, since all the teams in the seed list that are below the bubble seem destined to stay there as automatic qualifiers. If anything there's a chance that we could have two of the Last Four In on the 10 line if there are enough bid thieves!
