Every other wooden finalist would say "yes" apparently as they are all still eligible. I cannot remember a time that a wooden finalist was deemed ineligible for the award.

Northern Iowa gets the friendly bounce to beat Evansville 56-54 at the buzzer to win the MVC.

NIU blew a 17 point 2nd half lead before pulling out the win.

Already sick of the BW3s commercial with the Kentucky and Wisconsin fans.

UNC-Asheville just punched their ticket with a win over Winthrop. Four auto bids locked in so far.

Yale - Ivy League
Austin Peay - Ohio Valley
Northern Iowa - Missouri Valley

Simmons isn't stupid, he just doesn't give a shit about LSU and probably is going to skip out on class right after March, if he already hasn't. It will ding their APR, but I doubt he really cares.

With that said, the classes that basketball players take in their first 2 years are a joke and you should be able to get a 2.0 just by attending.

Rumor also has it that Simmons has skipped all classes this semester, so he would've been ineligible for his Sophomore year anyway. LSU's APR will for sure suffer.

He has. And he's only a sophomore

This Stetson/FGCU game has been really good. I hope it goes to OT. Been a few good conference tournament games today.

The A-Sun is dumb for letting them into the tourney. Most all other conferences don't let teams banned from the NCAA tournament (be it for APR or any other reason) play in the conference tourney either to avoid this sort of mess.

Glad FGCU got it done to get the automatic bid from the Atlantic Sun. Stetson sure did put up a fight though.

Iona/Monmouth will be a great game. Chattanooga should win. Huge bubble game for Gonzaga/BYU.

People calling Wichita State the most controversial bubble resume of all-time.

Jerry Palm has them completely out
Joe Lunardi has them as a 7-seed

#11 overall in KenPom. It will depend how much the committee forgives the no Van Vleet stretch to begin the year

Ben Simmons looked to be a near lock for POY, now he's a mere third team AA.

I know Kahlil Felder didn't play in a high level league but the dude averaged 24 PPG and 9 APG. That's gotta be good for 3rd team AA, lol. #biasalert

No bias alert is that I'd take Yogi over Ulis. Not sure what their numbers are and don't know if they are even close. But give me Yogi, and what he didn't turn around Indiana this year over Ulis.

I was actually going to say the same thing lol. I couldn't believe he didn't at least make 3rd team. I mean the Horizon League is a pretty decent conference. Dude is a stud. Hopefully they can win their conference tournament.

Laley, Ullis stats are a little better than Yogi's but its super close in every category.

Their numbers are almost identical.

Ulis' assist/turnover rate probably gets him the nod. It's insane.

Ulis - 16.6 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 7.4 APG, 1.4 SPG, 221 assists, 58 turnovers
Ferrell - 17.1 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 5.5 APG, 1.2 SPG, 169 assists, 82 turnovers

The one argument for Yogi would probably be he shot much better from 3-point range, but overall Ulis impacted much more of the overall offense and +/-.
