2024 March Madness

Maybe first game nerves. Both are a bit underseeded in my opinion. Boise probably should have been a 7 and Colorado and 8. We will have our hands full for sure.
Colorado has Simpson who will be drafted and Da Silva who can shoot. They play good defense and rebound well. They are built like South Carolina. We will need to control the tempo...which means fast. I don't think they can win a shootout with us, but who knows what we will look like without Micah.
I'll never understand why two 10 seeds have to meet in a play in game. Makes no sense. They were both penalized for good seasons.
Damn! Until another number one seed falls on the 1st Thursday or Friday, Virginia will always be the only number one seed to have that distinction.
If you ask me, the refs and committee felt sorry enough for them to help the Cavs win a championship the next season.

Recent National Champ Virginia’s Complete Fall From Grace With All-Time Awful March Madness Performance
Virginia basketball suffered an abominable loss to Colorado State on Tuesday night, failing to score even 50 points in the 67-42 drubbing.

Because there are 68 teams. You have to get to 64. So basically the last 4 in plus the teams that are deemed 65-68 rated.
# 10 seeds are the last 4 in?? I understand the process just not 10 seeds being involved. Let the 16 seeds play the 65-68 ranked teams. Nothing wasted if a 16 loses. The field should have stayed at 64 and the play in games are strictly for $$$.
Yes. The reason being is conference champions of smaller conferences take up bid spots. So I wasn't clear on my post, they aren't the worst teams in, but they are the last teams selected so they do the play in games.
Dayton, led by former Gator assistant Anthony Grant, defeats Nevada, led by Steve Alford. Dayton trailed by 9 at the half but went on a 24-4 run in the 2nd half.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm a little nervous about tomorrow.
So far, the Volunqueers are man handling a team that took out Kentucky last season in the tourney.
The entire UK board has crashed. Full meltdown mode in progress.
Ghost you're pretty level headed, do you think this is the end for Cal?
I didn't see too much of their fans discussing Calipari getting the boot, but seemed to be more concerned about who Louisville hires as their next coach.
It’s as wide open as ever. If someone drops a bunch of threes on you, you will lose. UConn is probably the only legit team with some separation.
I hope so…. but I doubt it. Only if he were to make the magnanimous gesture to admit that he’s no longer the right man for the job and step aside….
Back in 2019 when the LA Lakers appeared to show some interest in Cal, our AD Mitch Barnhart panicked and negotiated what was tantamount to a lifetime contract for Cal to stay. One of our posters mentioned that if Cal were fired tonight that he would be owed $55M.
The problem is compounded by the fact that Barnhart has his own cushy contract that insulates him from the consequences of his own piss poor hiring decisions.
You should be able to get on there now if you’re so inclined. I’m punching out; catch you guys later.
So much talent, so hard to comprehend. The NBA is littered (pun intended) with Cats.
That’s pocket change for that program. But i would be careful to make sure I could get someone better. I’ve generally been a Cal defender, but it may be that things have run their course.
Only thing I don’t like about Houston is they play low scoring games, so they can get taken out if the other team gets hot. They do d up and rebound. They are a dominant home team.
If their AD wanted new leadership for their program, he would have gotten rid of Cheats a while back or let him go to the Lakers.
Then again, that program would be attractive for the likes of Chris Beard and Nate Oats, despite their recent contract extensions.
With the advent of NIL it’s increasingly difficult to to manage the already tough one and done players. Maybe I’m wrong but it seems UK does better when a few guy hang around an extra year.
If Calipari is fired, Kentucky owes him the remainder of his contract, but if he steps down or takes another job, there is no buyout. So it looks like they're stuck with each other. I can't see the Cheats going to a lesser job, let alone any other school offering him the same $8.5 million salary, or higher. Unless Ohio State is dumb/desperate enough to offer.
I wonder if Louisville would bite.
I wonder if Louisville would bite.
Correct. That $55m number I mentioned earlier was incorrect. It’s still a lot of money, and UK doesn’t have the deep pockets to make Cal go away.
I was also wrong about the “lifetime” aspect of his aspect. However, he does have five years remaining.
O’Gara: John Calipari is too far gone to ever make this work again at Kentucky
Kentucky coach John Calipari is done with being a contender, as we saw on Thursday night.
