    The best college basketball Cinderella story you won’t hear about in March (St Thomas Tommies)

    I'd be surprised if Tauer leaves. Maybe someday, but not now. As for potential poaching/losing key players like Miles Barnstable/Kendall Blue/Carter Bjerke, etc., to free agency, that's just something every coach has to navigate in these Wild Wild West days. St. Thomas isn't immune from that...

    Weakling Wednesday Final Weekend: Iowa @ Nebraska for the Final "Chair and a Chance"

    Iowa @ Nebraska on Sunday (11:30 FOX) for the final spot in Weakling Wednesday. Interestingly, the Huskers are by no means out of the NCAA Tournament at-large conversation, but due to the mega-conference era we're now in, the Huskers first must simply qualify for their conference's tournament...

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    It can be some of both. He needs to determine (in his mind) which one plays the bigger part.

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    That's how I interpreted it, as well. My impression is Coyle was probably leaning toward moving on from Ben, but the Gophers' surprising Big Ten win total has given him second thoughts. Perhaps now he feels the right thing to do is kick the can down the road for another season. Not what I would...

    Getting Bubblicious With It

    Bubblicious Thursday #63 UC-Irvine (@ UC-Davis) Feeling like a courtesy that I still have UCI on the "longshot" at-large board, but for now I'll keep them on life support.

    Daily Bracket Outlook Starting Wednesday Night As Championship Week Kicks In

    I’m finding the same thing with Summit League. A lot cheaper, it’s becoming a competitive league, and Sanford Premier Center & Sioux Falls do a great job hosting. I’m now kind of hoping St. Thomas stays put for awhile because I’m pretty familiar with all the teams after 4 years + Sioux Falls is...

    Great observation. Needed OT (at home) Sunday to beat the worst team in the MVC. I like Bradley to win Arch Madness.

    Daily Bracket Outlook Starting Wednesday Night As Championship Week Kicks In

    Barring a ton of bid-stealers during Championship Week, two mid-major teams I'll absolutely select as at-larges if they don't win their conference tournament: Drake (Missouri Valley) & UC-San Diego (Big West) I actually hope they lose in their conference championship game so that the committee...

    Daily Bracket Outlook Starting Wednesday Night As Championship Week Kicks In

    Not real high on Nova's resume, but they're not out of the picture yet despite the bad non-conference performance. Working against them is they're a bit of a "homecourt hero". ... all their significant wins came at home, none on a neutral court or a true road game. Roughly, I think they need two...

    Daily Bracket Outlook Starting Wednesday Night As Championship Week Kicks In

    Not here, at least! In fairness, I believe the Sooners' non-conference (NET) SOS Is #145 (per Warren Nolan), definitely not a bad slate, and it includes some really nice wins (Arizona, Michigan, Louisville). In the end, I will not even consider Oklahoma unless they go 6-12 + a win in the SEC...

    Getting Bubblicious With It

    Not necessarily a bad loss, but I’m dropping them completely out. Nothing left on their schedule to help them, and still zero Quad 1 wins.
