#1 seed Quinnipiac and Ryan Mabrey taking on Iona in one Metro Atlantic (MAAC) semifinal today.
Ryan doesn’t seem to be playing much. Hope he gets a chance to break out. Also, Jaquel Morris disappeared from the St. Peter’s box scores later in the regular season. Anyone know if it’s an injury?
Mountain West semifinal #1 (Boise State/New Mexico) has been a solid game to follow our contest.
He’s entering the transfer portal. Short stay.
These last two minute reviews are out of control.
SC State made a layup to pull within 2 of Norfolk St in the closing seconds. They miraculously stole the inbounds pass and made another layup to tie it and complete a major comeback. Then one of their players pulled a Kent St on the ensuing inbound, which allowed Norfolk St to knock down a free throw and win it.

SC State just pulled a Kent. This is rough.

Good lord. This has become the modern version of Chris Webber calling a timeout.

And the Devils win the ACC tournament without Flagg or Brown. If they’re ready to go for next week, the confidence the rest of the team developed this weekend will help.
Indiana State shut out with a top 30 NET ranking the other year because they lacked Q1 results…and then NCAA turns around and puts UNC in with a 1-12 Q1 record the very next year.
Its just so blatant its just about enriching the big schools.

Its totally disgusting. Indiana State puts together an all time special year for their program, with a marketable star who was taking over social media. And get shut out as 29 in NET. And the committee lays it all on their 1-4 Q1 results. And then literally 12 months later…along comes UNC at 36 in the NET with 1-12 Q1 results and they are in.
And lets wait and hear the chairman in his interview justify it saying their NET ranking demonstrated they deserve to be in as if we are all gold fish and didn’t hear them say the exact opposite last year for the Sycamores. I’m gonna lose my mind if thats the justification.

Xavier in as 45 in NET with a 1-9 Q1. Its just corrupt. And Texas in so we’ll have 14 SEC teams.
Hoops is officially going the way of college football. This is an assault on the have nots.

There were a lot more bid thieves last year… that would be their cop out.
The “little guy” (not really little) that looks like it’s about to get screwed is Boise…
Would not shock me if Indiana bribed the committee to leave them out so Woody couldn’t take them to the Sweet 16 on his way out lol.
Two 6-12 conference record SEC teams in the dance. Like…what are we even doing here anymore?

Big name brands benefit from blatant favoritism from NCAA. We’ve all seen this movie before. We’ve seen it many, many, many times.
14 from SEC?
