The love-in between Grayson Allen and Krzyzewski after their game with UNC made me want to puke my guts out.
Just because they had a big win on their senior day doesn't mean everyone should forget what a douche Allen acted like for 4 years. It also doesn't mean we should forget how often Coach K refused to hold him to account for his behavior.

I have to ask...at this point is it time to start taking Michigan seriously as a title threat? I hadn't paid any attention to them all year, but right now they look clearly like the best team in the Big 10. The offense is 31 on kenpom but with a couple of tourney wins could jump into the top 20. The Big 10 is pretty lousy this year but at least didn't fall into one of my rules of college basketball: You know the Big 10 is really down if Purdue wins it. Well, Purdue finished 1 game back in the reg. season and runner up in conf. tourney, so there you go.
As far as teams that are highly ranked that reek of early upset, I might have to go with Xavier. It is counter intuitive in some ways since Xavier is typically a good tourney team, but most of their good runs have been as a lower seed dark horse. They got a 2 seed a couple of years ago and were upset by Wisconsin. Add to it that Xavier has simply overachieved this year, to the tune of 4 games over Pythagorean expectations. Xavier stats wise and talent wise is a 23-8 #4 seed in the NCAA tournament, but somehow has gone 27-4 and will be a #1 seed. Add to it a dubious 73rd ranked defense and Xavier has the feel of a 2nd round upset.

It's been announced that the selection show this year will first announce the 68 teams in the tournament, and then showing where they are in the bracket.
The show is also 2 hours long now so...yeah...

Miranda Wright State won the Horizon league tournament and will make their 3rd NCAA tournament appearance. Speaking of the NCAA tournament, TBS' NCAA tournament selection show will reveal the teams playing in the tournament in the first 15 minutes or so but will reveal the brackets within 45 minutes or so after the team's going to da dance are revealed.

If OU somehow manages to still make March Madness but OK State doesn’t, I’ma flip so many tables it won’t be funny.
Sooners have been garbage in conference play once the teams figured out how to beat them(and now that there is so much footage of how to beat them there is no way in hell the Sooners make it far into March Madness should they get in).
I think at best OU needs to be in one of the play-in games, but more realistically should just be bumped down to NIT.

That's pretty much it for Trae Young ESPN is going to lobby hard for Oklahoma to be a #1 seed in NIT because they won't stop jerking off to Trae Young. Pittsburgh actually fired Kevin Stallings. I was expecting they'd ride his train for more seasons considering how they were low key about firing his ass in spite of going 0-18 & failing to break a drawing board.

That's pretty much it for Trae Young There's always the NIT, expecting UCLA to join Oklahoma in the NIT, and one more thing, Uconn men's basketball fell to SMU ending a pitiful, dismal season and in the words of the Big Cat Ernie Ladd: It proves BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that the UConn men are standing in the shadows of the UConn women's team.

Many have OU as one of the last 4 in.
That would be nuts
