End of Regular Season/Other Conference Tournaments Thread

@GoodmanESPN: DePaul's Oliver Purnell is out after five irrelevant seasons. Great guy, bad hire.
If there's an opening, Turgeon should look to add him to his staff.

Just a horrible decision to go to DePaul. Purnell can coach. Very solid job at Clemson

I think he'd make more sense as a Maryland assistant than he would here-Has he ever coached at a school west of the Mississippi?

Let me see if I have this right-The pundits are saying Wisconsin will be paired with Kentucky because of geography? They were in the west bracket last year, and they had to play UA in front of a pretty hostile crowd to get to the final four. Its a silly bracket consideration after the first weekend IMO, and the fact that "pundits" like that moron Lunardi on ESPN are talking about it is ridiculous.

If I'm an A10/C-USA school I'd take a long look into making him head coach if he has the hunger for one last rebuild.

Playing the AAC tourney in Hartford isn't hurting, either.

I tend to sympathize with major conference programs when it comes to seeding and getting in, but does an 8 loss Kansas team really deserve a 2 seed still?
Some reasonably nice OOC wins, albeit nothing spectacular. Tough conference, some nice wins. But 8 losses is not insignificant.

I guess the question to ask is whether you believe there are 8 teams that have shown they would play that schedule and end up with fewer losses. Because the schedule is unparalleled.
I'm surprised to discover that I'm for Notre Dame over Carolina.
Opposite.

Go home and cry, Roy.
Don't mind ND basketball at all. Brey is a good dude.

Big East.
American Athletic Conference is their current one. It's the teams that split from the Big East because they play football. They've added some programs and lost some. It's kind of a mess with a national geography. UConn is sacrificing a goat at every full moon in hopes of an ACC invite to join back up with BC, Cuse, Pitt, Miami, VA Tech and Louisville (and sort of Notre Dame).

I mean, there's obviously a cut off point. I have no sympathy for someone like Illinois. But a team like Miami that proved it can beat the best is going to get my sympathies over a team that stormed over a bunch of nobodies and then choked in its conference tournament.

Brace yourselves. The insecure Arizona fans seeking reinforcement over their first tournament title in 13 years are coming.

Arizona looked great tonight. If they play like they did against NIT bound UCLA last night it will be a Sweet 16 exit. The weak Pac this year probably didn't do them any favors, even though this is probably their best team in quite some time.
Absolutely. The Ducks were just flat out gassed and outclassed tonight. That AZ team plays like tonight and they will make some noise in the Dance but I am still not convinced they make it passed Sweet 16 or at best Elite 8. Would be a good year but to hear their fans talk, they are going to be a final 4 team. Glad to be leaving them and Vegas behind.

How cute. You came to us first dying to be referred to as a blue blood. Flattering.
You seem awfully excited over a tournament you've spent your entire time here saying it "didn't matter".
Here we go.....

Agree to disagree, CVille, but I don't feel bad seeing a team who got punked at home by Eastern Kentucky and Georgia Tech miss the tournament. This is a really bad bubble-Every team who is even close to it has some pretty major warts...and I don't think you can feel bad for anybody who might be on the outside looking on after the bracket is unveiled tomorrow night.

I didn't necessarily mean Miami as an exact literal point. To clarify, I'm more generally saying give me a major conference team that proved it can beat big boys even if there are a couple bad losses over a team that spent its season reaching 27 wins by beating up on Jacksonville State and SIU-Edwardsville on a weekly basis. Do we really think a Murray State or whichever small conference flavor(s) of the year would have gone and posted an 11-7 record in the ACC (thus outperforming Miami by 1 game?) I certainly don't. This year doesn't have the best examples compared to most years, but that's the mindset I have.
Wyoming won the MWC tournament and Adams was named the Tournament MVP.
