St John's and UConn in the East is interesting

All the way to San Diego for the Johnnies

St.John's gets a #5.

Wow St. John's is a 5 seed??? I thought 3

They (very clearly) already did.

Spot-on.

Then, the small schools taking out the big boys. 

50 teams will turn down bids and Marquette will get called :0

There's no doubt this is quite tragic and very upsetting.  Shaka has to find the right pieces in the offseason or we will have to go another direction in '27-28.

I wish I loved anything as much as Dayton, supposed Big East deserving team, loves not winning their mid conference championship
