    Looks like a battle between the only two users to correctly pick both teams in the Championship game - Pete's Bold Bracket and DJF4458. Not sure which users these brackets belong to, but Pete wins if Michigan wins, and DJF wins if UConn wins.

    State of the program

    Two years ago, it was considered absolutely unfathomable that Coleman Hawkins got $2 million to transfer to Kansas State as a 5th year grad student, and now freshmen at NU are making $1 million. This will burst at some point, it's just a matter of how crazy it gets before something has to give.

    The Crown Basketball Challenge starts tonight...

    ...and I'm guessing the level of basketball is going to be commensurate with the fact that it's April Fools' Day. Also - the NIT semifinals start tonight as well, and they're being held in Indianapolis, so Auburn can get to feel like a Final Four team too!

    Coaching Carousel 2026

    A few more moves over the weekend - Ben Jacobson leaves Northern Iowa after 20 seasons to go to Utah State as it enters the new Pac 12. Utah State has had four different head coaches in the last eight years, and all have taken them to the tourney in their first or second season before being...

    NCAA tourney open thread

    I had turned the game off when Duke was crushing them, but turned it back on when UConn cut it to 4. I can't believe the sequence of events that led to that outcome, holy crap.

    Coaching Carousel 2026

    More than I would've expected, actually. 2019-20, 2017-18 and 2013-14 all had 0 coaching changes in the Big Ten following the end of the season. 2020 is understandable with Covid; in 2018 you had Izzo, Painter, Beilein, Turgeon, McCaffery, and Collins all well entrenched, Chris Holtmann, Archie...
