A lot of damage done on other resumes in the last 24 hours. Yesterday was very, very good for Wichita fans.

Michigan and LSU are both getting mauled in the second half of their games today. Tigers look especially wretched, down 46-19 w/13 minutes left...in the game.

Hey, no shouting around here... Didn't you realize we're in a library? ;)

When I did the exercise above, trying to find at 36 at larges, I kept telling myself as I went past 30 how bad the bubble is this year. I guess that's where my internal conflict comes in. Wichitas resume screams NIT to me, but there is merit to anyone who includes them because the bubble is so weak.

Probably need to get this tourney back to 64 before even thinking about expanding it again. Not saying that because Wichita is taking advantage of a weak bubble, just that the quality of basketball in the play-ins this year may be at the lowest level we've seen since the move to 68.


I honestly think that there was a lot more parity in college basketball this year, rather than the assertion that teams ranked between 25 and 50 are weak. UNI is a really good example of this with so many high profile wins and head scratching losses. The field is grouped closer together weakening the resumes.

No less than a dozen schools rooting hard against Memphis this afternoon. Gotta love March.

That seems right to me with the late movement of teams this week. Play in game against another questionable resume.

Now that you're at the table Shockers, make a run. First opponent is a juicy, beatable one.

Shockers receive their fifth straight NCAA bid - congrats to the team and here's to a win on Tuesday!

Very cool for the MVC to have multiple bids in 4 of the last 5 years now. Go Shocks and Go Panthers!
