Its one thing to be on probation. What TF is the point of a 4 year waiting period? LOL

According to the NCAA's statement when they devised this dumb-as-fuck idea. I mean, call me insane, but I would think having the second best team in your conference and following that up by winning the conference tournament is as good a way of saying you have a successful, competitive program. However, I'm not the sort of low-tier bureaucrat who gets off over making stupid rules to fuck over student-athletes (while at the same time professing that what they're doing is for their good) that the NCAA loves having on staff, so I might just not be able to relate.

"The resulting structure will ensure that reclassifying members are committed to the D-I philosophy and operating principles," the NCAA statement reads. "In addition, this legislation will increase the likelihood that such institutions will operate successful, competitive programs at the D-I level."

Va Tech from 27 at the buzzer to win by 1

Awful defense by Clemson

Saw Pitino's Iona lost to a 14-18 team in their championship. That'll sting.

So far today in early-round conference tournament match-ups, both Michigan and Texas have had epic choke-jobs to lose.

Texas led by 18 at the half and Michigan led by 13 and both lost to TCU and Indiana, respectively. Texas was outscored 43-20 in the second half and Michigan was by a 46-28 margin.

Indiana was down 17 with 12 minutes to go. Season was over. They went on a 28-4 run to take the lead by 7 and held on. That was wild, considering Indiana has been the one blowing double digit leads all season long.

Meanwhile, Iowa's just out there casually putting up 64 points in 20 minutes on Northwestern. That's something.

From the box score, they're hitting 67.6% from the field and 68.8% from three. And have 15 assists so far.

Sorry Laley. 

….but that was an amazing shot

See, I don’t mind losing on a real offensive play — and Indiana was not cut out for OT.

But don’t call it amazing. Call it what it was. Shit offense and lucky shot.

It was amazingly lucky. We’ll go with that. 

It’ll be interesting to see what Duke looks like next year without Coach K. They have problems getting up for big games it seems. I could see them being a 2 seed and eeking it out against the 15 seed. 

Yeah…I’m on board with the shot being lucky. To bank it in basically means you are 2 feet off target but yet awarded 3 points

I’ve watched a small amount this year….some of you have watched way more and know way more about these teams. Looking at the brackets what are some clear cut things you see in the 1st round of games?

I watched ESPN show and all 4 guys had virtually Zaga/Zona and their Final 4’s and Elite 8’s were very similar….it’s not that easy.

I’d like to hear some of your thoughts.

I'm intrigued by that potential second round Gonzaga-Memphis matchup. Eh, fuck it. Let's go bold prediction. Memphis will win that game. 

I've been there...

How about a printable bracket with dates and tip-off times for 1st round...anyone got one? Can't find one to save my life.
