Hey Throbby, is there some super secret barber shop only basketball refs go to?  They all seem to have amazing hair.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I am sure that that is what you have to say.  But tell us:  if this non-existant secret barber shop did exist, where would it be?

Uggh, I did some AAU games today, and completely fucked up the end of my last one.

Sigh. I don't know if I should be happy it was just an AAU game I made such a huge screwup in, or terrified that if I can lose focus like that in an AAU game, it could happen in a varsity game or even college if I decide to go that way.

Sparty and Fuckeye down to the wire.

All putative #1 seeds have lost their conference tournies.

And those rare words are uttered: 'SEC Champion Vanderbilt'

Yes Berkut I know the tournament winner is not the real champion.

Anyway Texas made it in so streak intact.  Pretty good for a team that returned 3 players (not three starters...three players and all of them backups).

Is there a Languish MM bracket on Yahoo yet, or are we able to automatically rejoin last year's?  I get confused between how Yahoo and CBSSportsline work.

Set it up, if you did it last year will get email.


and NIT, NIT!

Meh not surprised at all by omission, the only annoying part is having to hear how first time since 50's one of the "power six" conference regular season champs didn't get invite.

I'm in :)

And nothing wrong with the NIT.  If your team goes all the way & wins it, they can give the finger to the NCAA tourney selection committee all along the way. 

I did get a kick out of some delusional Marshall fans who had apparently thought they were on the bubble & then complained about getting a 5 seed in the NIT.  Be happy you got invited to a post-season tourney this year that you didn't have to pay to get into, Terd fans.

Nice to see WVU, although a 10 seed, playing in Pittsburgh.  If they get by Gonzaga in the first round, I'm so there for the second round vs. Ohio State.

The four big cheeses at ESPN went went out on a limb and predicted the #1 and #2 to meet in all four brackets.

I think a nice dark horse is Louisville starting with a 7 seed.  They have amazing team speed and quickness and a scary press.

That is going out on a limb since that has never happened.

Louisville is hot but these days you have to figure at least one of the Regional Champs is going to be a team that has been off the national radar all year.

They're definitely hot right now (they're a 4 seed, btw).  They had an ugly few games around the middle of the season but they've been hitting on all cylinders. 

But they burned me the last couple years.  I know if I pick them to go deep, they'll pull their third straight first round loss.

Val, I think Texas has a good chance to knock off Cincinnati.  UC is a streaky team and may not recover from Saturday's demoralizing loss.

Texas is as well as they go as J'Covan Brown goes.  When he is on they can beat anybody...when he is off they lose to Oregon State.

That is really anybody's game.

Not that dark then.  Must find darker!

Does anyone understand the point of the 12 seed and 14 seed play ins?
