Texas loses to Kansas.

Why must my basketball teams mirror each other?

Read an AP article with the headline "Setback doesn't help Longhorns chances". DOESN'T HELP THEIR CHANCES??? What "chances" would/could/should a team that is 16-16 possibly have???????

big conferences have the advantage they can have most of their non-con games at home or on a neutral site to pad a resume and then they can have losing records in conference play and still get into the tournament. The quadrant system has helped the non-con scheduling some by pushing teams to schedule harder in the non-con or go to more neutral site games. But there will be teams in the tournament like Texas was last year that had a losing record in conference play and still be in the tournament. Texas lost last year to Nevada in the first round in OT.

Not sure if this is still a rule but in football but there was a rule that stated you had to win a certain # of games to be bowl eligible. I think there should be a rule like that to get in to the NCAA Tourney. Teams should have to win a minimum # of games in their conference. I understand that conferences like the ACC and Big12 have great basketball teams and if you have to play schools like North Carolina, Duke etc. a couple times in conference play your conference record is going to suffer but I would rather see a great mid-major that just happened to lose their conference tourney and didn't get the auto bid and now gets stuck with an NIT bid over the 8-9th best team in a big conference.

It doesn't matter if they played in any conference in the regular season. A team that is 16-16 SHOULD NEVER play in the NCAA's. As you said, that steals a spot from a team that won their regular season conference but not their conference tournament, and there are always 3-4 of those every year.

Agree, but the system is set up to always benefit the power conferences. Maryland is ranked #21 in the nation. They are 13-7 in conference play. Imagine losing more than a third of your conference games and people still think you are the 21st best team in the nation. Wofford is actually #20. They went 18-0 in the Southern.

There's more parity of late, but still .500 P5 teams are going to equate to .850 mid-majors.

Well, one of the things they should do is make play-in games be all at large teams.

You win your conference, you get into the field of 64. That definitely should be a rule.

Anyone watching Duke/North Carolina?

I think Duke is a good bet to win the title with Zion back. UNC will be there as well, they beat Duke twice when it mattered.

Texas State loses to Georgia State 59-46 in a Sunbelt Conference semi. It happens to good teams with good coaches.

If Shaka Smart gets fired at Texas (and they pay the $13M to buy him out) where does he land?

Keep hearing that Wake Forest really wants him. Like enough to potentially hire him from Texas.

If they really want him they could probably work something out to pay less than the buy out and make it happen. It could be a win win for all parties. Not sure Texas wants to pay $13M to to get Smart out so it looks like they will be keeping him another year unless someone comes along an makes them a deal.

Interesting fact... 54% of Villanova's shots this year were three-point attempts (1.023 of 1,912). Safe to say that Jay Wright likes the three.

Watching UT play South Dakota State in the NIT. Looks like about 10,000 UT fans are disguised as empty seats in the Drum.

The mighty Texas Longhorns, who many felt were slighted by not making the Big Dance field, squeezes by the South Dakota State Jackrabbits 79-73 in a game that was closer than that at the end.

Prison Tech @ TCU tonight at 8:00 on ESPNU. Or if you're rather watch something that might actually be interesting, the USA plays Denmark in Curling today at 1:00 p.m. on NBCSN.

Ya. I think some of the changes in transfer rules have detrimental to all but a few marquee programs that basically become the "farm" system for the NBA. Maybe we'll be a winner on this in 2019:2020

Really? I thought Johnson was doing a decent job considering that 75% of the country doesn't even know that Bama has a basketball team.

Yeah it's kind of surprising. But he's only made the tournament once in his 4 years and just above.500 overall.

Chris Mullins may be out at St. John's too.

Bryce Drew out at Vanderbilt after three seasons. 0-18 in conference can do that.

As long as Pearl has Auburn winning, Alabama will make sure they arent just a sideshow

After his third season, when he lost his best player to injury in November.

Lamar women fall to South Alabama 73-71 in the WNIT. That breaks Lamar's 42 game home winning streak.

So sad. NOT!

Nate Oats leaves Buffalo to become new Alabama head coach. They lost Bob hurley to Arizona state and now nate oaks. Money talks. Coaches will take the job 9/10 times.

Four Alabama players have entered the transfer portal in the last three days since Avery Johnson reached an "agreement" to hit the door. One of them is sophomore guard John Petty, Bama's 3rd leading scorer this past season.
