Just trying to protect himself from the students on the court.
Douche University doing what it does.
Danny Sprinkle of Utah State could be the national coach of the year. Had zero returning scoring from last year's team after taking over in April and were picked in the preseason among the cellar dwellers in the MWC. Ranked #22. 26-5 record. Outright won the toughest MWC ever.
Does he bolt after 1 year? Some big jobs are gonna come calling since he was also great at Montana State (4 years, Danced the last 2, only 47 years old).

Oooh boy. If Hopkins is out at Washington......isn't he probably the first guy they call? My mentor had that game tonight. Thought they did a good job with that finish. They missed that no rim call at the end, but odds are USU gets fouled, hits one, and UNM needs a miracle heave to tie the game. Lobo fans are pissed, but its not a big deal.
UNM might be on the outside looking in for now.
Arizona State-UCLA has implications for us. If UCLA wins, we get the Utah-ASU winner. If Utah beats them, that's probably a Q1 opportunity for us.....Yoots' net is low 40s.

Definitely the two favorites. Will have to see how the brackets shake up to decide if anyone might upset them.
That'll be a tough one for me too. Mainly because some other teams I think are talented enough to win it are just too damn inconsistent or are lacking something. I don't trust Kansas, Arizona, or Duke for sure. There are others but those teams stick out in my mind. Sorry @Buffnik, I was replying to your post about Houston and UConn but fvcked it up.

UConn and Houston are in a tier of their own for me.
I like Kentucky to go deep as a value pick from the top 4 seeds.
Gonzaga, Texas, and Florida all have a lot of juice to make a run from the middle seeds.
Colorado, St. John's, and Villanova have potential to go deep from the last at large grouping.
I will have to wait and see about the small conference AQs but I like Indiana St., JMU, and Memphis if they make it.

Kentucky, like Alabama, has the firepower to go deep in the tournament if they play defense. Fun offenses to watch.

I feel like a game between us and Bama would have both teams scoring over 100

JMU and FAU have a lot of firepower

Agree on UConn and Houston. Watch out for Tennessee too-Dalton Knecht is really good.
Villanova has no business making this tournament without a Big East title. 17-14 overall record. 10-10 in league. Three quad 3 losses (@Penn, St Joes, and Drexel).

Even Illinois who is 22-8- only one less Loss than CU has lost every big game they’ve had against Marquette Purdue and Tennessee and their “good” wins are Nebraska, Florida Atlantic (less impressive now) and they split against Northwestern and Michigan State.

Iowa has a quad 3 L. We don't. Another team that should not get into the NCAA tournament ahead of us. We get to the conference championship.....and we have a comparable resume to Illinois.

Whose considered a top 3/4 seed in the tourney. Very crazy the differences in perspectives

Its weird.
More good news coming out of the Big Sky tournament-Eastern Washington's the top seed, and they're trailing ****ty Sac State by 5 with 4 to go. That would make Northern Colorado the highest remaining seed left in that tournament at #2.
Sac State bounces EWU.

I love Dalton Knecht but I don't trust Rick Barnes in the tournament. Their kryptonite the last few years has been some untimely ice cold shooting. Knecht should help with that.
Sure. I don't think Villanova should be in based on resume but there's always a team that squeaks in and goes on a run.

I like FAU as well. Last year's experience has to give them an edge.
JMU looked really good early and have largely been forgotten about once they got to conference play.

That might actually be us this year LOL. Maybe St Johns. I wouldn't have as big an issue with them in as I would 'Nova barring a Big East tourney title.
True, but B10 fans will, as usual, sh*t the bed when choosing brackets and we will reap the cash rewards. Can't wait to see those Purdue brackets again.
I guess I put the hex on WVU. Cincy came back from 16 down in 12 minutes & won by 5. Maybe I shouldn't comment while these games are still in progress.

The crappy thing here too is they are playing Kansas next who is resting their top 2 players who are banged up in Dickinson and McCuller. If Cincy wins it looks like this amazing Q1 win even though there should be a huge caveat....I guess I put the hex on WVU. Cincy came back from 16 down in 12 minutes & won by 5.

Same reason Buffs should get a bump for playing a bunch without their top players, teams shouldn't get rewarded for beating teams with top players out ..hard to quantify it all.
It would be like if the buffs beat Zona without Love and Ballo.

Crazy for Milwaukee considering they are two years removed from the Patric Baldwin Senior and Jr season that they were 10-25. Great turn around for Bart Lundy.
Wagner punches their ticket to the dance after beating Merrimack in the NEC championship. Wagner was the 6 seed, with a record of 15-15.
