No.

What about this (conspiracy) theory? Coyle's already got an in on another AD job somewhere, so he'll just keep Ben around knowing he's not going to be around for the fifth season of greatness. Just a thought.

Full disclosure: I’m considering rescinding San Diego State’s “lock” status if the Aztecs lose to Boise State on Thursday night. I don’t do it often, but sometimes a revisit of a team’s resume makes it necessary. TBD.

Good question, Holy Man. My "almost theres", I feel pretty confident they'll get in even with a loss (especially Vanderbilt), but they move backward to "squarely on the bubble" with a loss, meaning they've lost their leg up on those teams. They get evaluated straight up vs. the bubble teams in...

Would be a home run to get a guy with Cluff's abilities, but I'm thinking most big dudes in free agency will be more like Frank than Cluff.

They definitely need a banger. Someone that plays like Frank Mitchell would be perfect. Big body, energy, hustle, gets garbage buckets off missed shots.

Correct. Tommies need a presence in the paint, primarily defensively. They get beat up a lot on the boards. Physical, rim protector, rebound, doesn’t need to score much.

Good catch, thanks Howeda. I counted wrong, had to take UC-Irvine out. Dayton now last team in. Fixed.

This it it until my final projection posted in the wee hours of Selection Sunday morning. See you then. In multiple-bid conferences, automatic qualifiers (champion or highest remaining seed in conference tournament) are noted with a * NET rankings are through March 8 and will be updated here...

Well said. In fairness to the posters that have TDS (Tommie Derangement Syndrome), the Tommies split with Oral Roberts, a really bad loss.

The Summit is currently ranked #17 of 31. So bottom half, but nowhere near one of the worst conferences in Division 1. https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2025/net-conference

My understanding is the Basketball Crown automatically will get the 2 best (NET) Big Ten teams not making the NCAA. So right now that would be some combination of Ohio State (36), Northwestern (56), Nebraska (57), and Penn State (63). It’s pretty likely there will be 3 or 4 Big Ten teams in the...

I agree.
