The wife is out at a meeting of the Olney Women’s Board and there are no games on basic cable until 7pm tonight! Plans dashed…

With their foul issues, UTRGV really needed to close it out when they had the chance in that 2nd OT.
Yes, they did. Really didn't handle the last shot well. Bouncing around tonight. UCSD-Cal Poly was entertaining. On a bad note, pretty sure that kid from Clemson blew out his knee against Wake.

Some good finishes now with FAU-Temple and Ok St-TCU...then a fun late night game with Idaho/Montana for the auto-bid.

Today and tomorrow are two of my favorite days of the year...have the quad box going on my main TV with college hoops, two other TVs with hoops, and The Players on the other. 6 basketball games and golf...doesn't get any better than that for me.

Miami Ohio blows a ten-point second-half lead, loses to UMass. Dang.

They've got one of the most polarizing resumes we've ever seen...nothing to even compare it to. Really interested to see how the committee handles them. My guess is they end up something like a 10 seed, avoiding Dayton.

Miami O has won a whole bunch of nailbiters, is my understanding.

I hope they get in. Teams don’t want to see them or Akron on their bracket
They'll get in...but teams would love to see Miami (Oh) in their bracket (especially whoever gets them in their first game, as it'll be much better than a comparable option).

They've basically been flirting with losses in most of their recent games, but I still believe that they deserve to make it even though they'd probably stuggle to win almost any conference game if they played in the Big 10, SEC and Big 12.

ugh, tough day, will be interesting if the committee lets them in. Dickie V says yes but...


Miami has guard play and that matters but their interior people get chewed up, hence the close games all year.

They’ll definitely be in. I’d say 90% straight in, 10% Dayton.

Agreed--they'll be the last team in without playing in Dayton
