Hoo, hey?

Will Belmont get in if they lose this game at 24-4?

0% chance

If we finish the year at .500 or better. We literally would have better odds.

Yup, zero games against P6 teams vs our 23rd P6 game after tonight. No chance.

Belmont had a lot of non-conference games and tourney cancelled due to Covid-19. Some of those teams included USC, Western Kentucky, Gonzaga, Boise St., SLU, Michigan St., Xavier.

They have no chance.  I’d much rather see them than the 8th place team of a power conference but such is the structure of college basketball

I think Belmont is out, but I wouldn't say no chance. They lost a lot of high-major opportunities due to COVID, so their SOS isn't their fault. I suspect they needed 1 fewer loss, but if the Selection Committee takes COVID into account, they might sneak into the last 4.

How do people feel about FOX/FS1 studio people and analysts?  I think they need to revamp these shows.  CBS /CBSSN (notwithstanding Ryan Hollins) do an excellent job, especially their postgame show.  Szczerbiak and Rothstein are very good at what they do and the host is always always solid as well.  I just feel Fox/FS1 can step their game up in these areas.

What happened to Weiskamp?  That's a huge loss for Iowa if it's a serious injury.

Ankle sprain as he got tangled up with. Bucky player.  He was having a great game at that point.

Not an issue as they’re rolling. A 13 someone doesn’t want to see matched up with them.

Kelsey is an impressive coach. A Prosser guy, WF and X, strong recruiter abd eye for talent (PG, one of the National leaders in assists) was a transfer up from D2, five 20 win seasons (two more with 19). I’d like seeing him roam the home sideline in the FF. Plus one of the first coaches I’ve with a visible tattoo.

I think you're confused Billy.  Belmont lost yesterday.  Winthrop is rolling.  Kelsey should definitely be on our radar.

Yep, my bad. Lunardi was talking about them as not getting an at large bid.

Disappointing that Weiskamp is out.  Was hoping Whisky could stay on the 8 line.  DeCoursy has the weasel/rodents as an 8.

Boy I hope you're right.  Doesn't look great.

9 ppg ... 3 reb ... 41% ...

Is there a bigger disappointment in the entire country than Nate Reuters?

Joey Hauser?

Joey Hauser?

Good point.

Two guys with lotsa hype ended up being big stiffs.

Thriller in Houston.


Barring a miracle shot by Houston, we will be going to OT after Memphis hits a 3 to tie with 1.5 left.

Holy sh it. And they let the miracle happen. Awful D.

One of the best endings of the season. I’ve never seen a bounce pass for a prayer shot.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Wow. USC nails a game winning three to beat UCLA on CBS. Now, Houston banks in a buzzer beater!
