Forgot to mention I watched Wisconsin decimate Ed's Buckeyes yesterday evening.  Sorry, Ed.  Lundardi is giving your boys no respect in his latest Bracketology with an 8 seed.

Also, there is a Groupon for the "first four" tournament play-in games in Dayton.  I'll look for you if I decide to go.

I am sure Ed is hanging on every inbound.

Arizona won the Pac-12 again. Looks to have a #2 locked up, I don't even know that they move to a #1 even if they win the Pac-12 tournament title. The four #1s right now look to be pretty solid - Kentucky, Virginia, Villanova, and Duke.

And there is no way Arizona slides to a three, even if they lose in the first round of the tournament, I suspect.

The Big 12 failed to stop Kansas for the 11th straight year.  Bill Self does it again.  Seriously, this is getting embarrassing.

Michigan's end-of-game lineup against Rutgers featured Austin Hatch (the freshman who survived two plane crashes), a freshman walk-on, a junior walk-on, and two guys who were student-managers at the start of the season but got assigned to the practice squad when all the injuries hit.

Michigan will finish 9th in the Big Ten, but that's not all that bad considering that they lost five guys to the NBA in the last two years, lost their two best players to injury in the first third of the season, and then lost both of their experienced big men by the time the Big Ten season started.  Since then it's been band-aids and bailing wire holding things together.  And, truth be told, its been a fun team to watch.  Some lineups play strictly zone defense because, awful as they are at zone, they are worse at man-to-man.  The kids are playing just fr pride, and I think that there were only about two of the ten Big ten losses that upset me because I thought they should win.  And, of course, beating the Buckeyes made up for those losses.

On to the NIT!  Maybe we'll play Texas there.  That'd be fun.

WVU came within a non-called foul at the end of regulation of sweeping them this year.  Man, was that a painful game to watch.  I knew they were going to blow that 18-point lead, but to lose the game the way they did was just plain shitty.

Apparently a SWAC women's game ended in a bench-clearing brawl and resulted in a double-forfeit.  Can't find any video anywhere, damnit.

That must have been one hell of a brawl.  I don't think I have ever heard of a double-forfeit before.

If I could ever be surprised by the NCAA anymore I would be pretty shocked that they found lying about an off-campus BBQ a worse offense than a decade and a half of academic fraud, intentional failure to follow the school's own drug testing policy and and lack of control by both the athletic department and the head coach.

Rhode Island plays in the A10 tournament quaterfinals this year, but they probably have to win it to make the tournament and I  don't see that happening. Nevertheless, good progress has been made this year.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Wow!  that comparison became a meme really quickly!  It is simplistic and wrong, but it does make for good clickbait, doesn't it?

A month ago Wyoming was in 1st in the Mountain West, riding high and looking good.  Then came the good ole Cowboy Curse (tm), and the pre-season conference Player of the Year and the 1st backup both got mononucleosis.  Oh well, the team did get 22 wins and finished in the top half of the conference.

Still, this is why every Cowboy fan is always waiting for the next disaster.  This team should...and I say that with fingers crossed...make the NIT this year.
