"Duke Could Play in the NCAA tourney after all" is flashing at the bottom ofthe ESPN screen.  Is this some sort of joke?

Will they play in the NIT!

[Uncle Rico]

Will they play in the NIT!

It's a story because they'll be in the group of teams that can move in

[MuggsyB]

It%u2019s a story because they%u2019ll be in the group of teams that can move in

And I would imagine other teams can "move in" as well?  This is a tean that stated they were done with the season afte a covid positive during the ACC tournament.  I believe the AD said they were done.  Now apparently they are "open to playing" if they are chosen for any reason..  ESPN is  promoting Duke as a potential tourney team and it's totally ridiculous and dishonest imo.  The whole thing was probably orchestrated by Coaxh K because be knew they would lose to FSU.

Congrats to Rick Pitino first coach to take 5 different schools to the NCAA tournament if I read that correctly.

No there have been others. Lon Kruger for example. I believe Rick is tied for the most now.

Tubby Smith as well.

Outside of the #1 seeds who do you think are the most likely F4 candidates?  Is there a sleeper that won't be a top 4 seed?

With Illinois coming on I've added them to my Baylor and Gonzaga grouping.

But I really think it'll be one of those 3.

Agreed, .I'm nust thinking of a surprise team.  Maybe San Dieho St if they are on the 7 line?

Bama is going to be a really tough out.

[MuggsyB]

Bama is going to be a really tough out.

I'll have to check them out tomorrow.  As much as I dislike the B14 I have to admit I enjoy watching Illinois.  Underwood is intense.  They probably have the best 1/2 inside out combo.

Illinois is tough too. Cockburn had a rough stretch but coming back around.

Bama is crazy balanced and d's up with the best of them. They just lost a significant role player to injury but they're really deep. They have five or six guys who can go off on a nightly basis. Herb Jones is a do it all Crowder type. Really fun team to watch.

[JWags85]

Tubby Smith as well.

Tubby should have had 6 but somehow didn't get there with Memphis.

Pitino will make it 6 when he inevitably moves to another P6 team after another season or two and does what he does. Pitino is even more impressive cause 2 of the 5 (BU and Iona) are small one bid conferences that he had to win.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Tubby Smith as well.

You are both right I just got a closer look at the screen

[Dish]

Glad I grabbed GT at 25-1 odds to win the ACC tournament two weeks ago.

CHA CHING!

[CountryRoads]

CHA CHING!

Nice. It was very tainted and should have a huge asterisk but that is not your problem.

Cool.  They sound like a dangerous team.

Abilene Christian would likely beat MU btw.  I think at best we're in the 110-120 range.  Smh.

[We R Final Four]

Did Shaka's team win the Big 12 tournament?
Hmmm.

[GooooMarquette]

Colorado currently shooting an NCAA record 83.1% from the line as a team. Wow.

[GooooMarquette]

Bill Walton is nutjob, but the guy makes me laugh out loud every time I watch him. Tonight Colorado and Oregon State traded a couple of quick threes, and he comes up with:

"Up and down, Beavers - Buffaloes, stampeding and...building dams!"

[Billy Hoyle]

Colorado currently shooting an NCAA record 83.1% from the line as a team. Wow.

And 10-18 tonight and down by 3.

And OSU fouls up 3 with 2.2 left

Yeah - not a good time to have an off shooting game.
