Still trying to figure out how we made it and they didn't.

This is a nice feather in their cap.

I mean, you shouldn't have to tell your guys that you're ahead.

Indiana State out! They get the Golden Screw award in my book.

Yep

Agree with the crew: Mountain West getting under-seeded...with the notable exception of San Diego State.

That's heartbreaking. The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat; the human drama of althletic competition. Including things that happen like this and like Chris Weber calling the timeout they didn't have. It's part of why sports are so interesting.

DeVries?

Would've like to see Nebraska advance, but Illinois impresses with their mental toughness, putting their heads down and coming from behind in two straight games. That might bode well for them in the NCAAs.

I honestly don't know how it works.

I've wondered that, too, but have been afraid to ask.

Thank you. I know you're talking about Justin Gaard and his ridiculous tweet, but who else has trotted that trope out today?

This is one of the strange and interesting stories I can remember. Guy gets fired before the end of the season but is allowed to keep working, then advances to the Dance. Heck, with that accomplishment, he'd be a candidate for his own job if he hadn't just been fired from it!

The thing about Indy and Chicago is that they're easy driving distance from multiple conference schools. We're definitely an outpost of the conference, as is the east coast. Centrally located does make sense for most years, but it also makes sense to rotate it to a big-city outpost once in a...

Surprised VA didn't even try to slow the ball down at all with just one full-court defender.

If they hire Dutcher, I'm going to have a good, long cry.

Tonight's going to be a hot one--and a late one--in the Mountain West.

That's what builtbadgers always posted here, too. These days, if you haven't had some eye-popping success in your first three years, it's not going to get much better long term. That was his criticism of Pitino, and he compared him to his touchstones, Bennett, Bennett, and Ryan. Clem's third...

...and in a very tight window to have a chance to hire Sprinkle or one of the other young can't-miss prospects that we'll kick ourselves later for not taking a run at now. Nate Oats is an example of someone who was a known commodity and a program like ours could've obtained at one point, but the...

Bottom line, this team underperformed its talent, at least in my estimation.
