I can think of about 14 SEC teams I'd like to have seen left out before UNC. I say this with quite a bit of trepidation but...I'm actually glad the 'holes got in

Hey, the Cats were 0-5 against Quad 1. Who could imagine all we'd need to do to get in the NCAA tourney is lose 6 more of those games.

Except UNC was 21–1 outside of quad one and DC was…not.

Also, 5 of UNC’s losses were to #1 seeds, and 2 more were to #2 seeds.

I’d be more on board with the focus on UNC if there were some deserving mid- or low-major team on the outside looking in. But WVU? Ohio State? Indiana? Who cares?

Can't wait to see that legal theory. The complaint will be written in crayon.

Who knew that when UNC edged out UCLA before Christmas that they had clinched a bid and could lose the rest of their Q1 games?

Well, actually, we all did.

Did you watch San Diego State’s first half offense? If so, you may be entitled to financial compensation

A knowledgeable person on the radio today said that teams playing on Tuesday night normally start the 64 team tournament on Thursday.

The Holes are starting the 64 team tournament on Friday, in Milwaukee.

Meanwhile, VCU, which played Sunday, is playing in Denver on Thursday. I hear that Denver is above sea level.

Reminiscent of Auburn winning the SEC tournament last year on a Sunday and having to play in Spokane on Thursday. Okay, they still should have beat Yale.

Why not switch Holes and VCU, both 11s.

I'm just asking questions, not filing lawsuits.

I didn't know you can hang on the rim and swing back and forth after missing a dunk while the game continues.

Fun games today. We knew the ACC was a joke this year. We didn't understand how big a joke it was. Louisville was run out of an arena filled with their fans. Clemson waited until way too late to put out much effort. Bye-bye. Georgia nearly stayed within 20 of Gonzaga in the first half. VCU is trailing BYU by 15 with 14 minutes to play.
