Siena lost by one in overtime last night and my heart hurts and I fucking hate Iona so much that I hope they get matched against whoever the overall number one is and get absolutely fucking obliterated. Like show no mercy, keep the starters in the whole time, show you exactly how much you don't matter to college basketball, beaten by 40.

A lot of discussion about that tournament on Mike and Mike this morning. They were saying this cost Monmouth a bid to NCAA tournament. That lead to discussion about how silly it is for these small leagues to award the winner of their tournament instead of the winner of the regular season. Then they have got into how unfair it is that Sienna gets to host the tournament.

Monmouth deserves an at-large bid. Hands down. That team got screwed last year and they'll probably get screwed again this year (thanks to their loss against Siena Sunday night).
There has always been that feeling of unfairness about the MAAC Tournament being in Albany. I get it. I like that it's here for very obvious reasons. But when it hasn't been in Albany, the crowd turnouts are dismal. Albany gets the biggest turnout - hands down. Even with the down years. It's a central location for the conference, that happens to be one teams home court. It's where they make money. They've tried to have the tournament in so many locations and it doesn't work. We don't have ACC money, we can't rent out MSG for a week to host the games on a truly neutral court. We've tried that, pretty sure money was lost on that attempt in Springfield.
is there going to be an Inforoo bracket challenge for the tourney?
i have a feeling this will be the year a 16 seed beats a 1... it's bound to happen someday. I used to think 15s would never beat 2s but then it happened twice in 1 year.

Pretty sure I have complained about it before, but there is no reason for the American conference tournament to be played in Hartford. Beside UCONN of course, the only other school within an 8-hour drive is Temple. Not easy to find a central location for the conference...but I would try to have at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Obviously would be a big draw for SMU, and you would have Houston/Tulsa within a 3-hour drive and Memphis/Tulane within a 6-7 hour drive.
I could also see just letting the regular season champ host.

I've been at the Atlantic 10 tournament the last two days, will be at the Rhode Island vs. VCU final today. Look for me, I'll be in the first row behind the Rhody bench.
With Pitt basketball heading into the dark ages this year, I haven't watched much hoops, but I haven't forgotten how excellent conference tournaments are.
In traditional fashion, I will be supporting the New England teams for the tourney. So URI, Vermont, and Providence.
Tough break for Prov ending up in the first four, but taking a shit loss early in the conference tourney will do that. Bummer that URI has to fly out to California for their matchup.
I normally wouldn't encourage this, but Oregon. heyyitskait prob wants Oregon to win their first game by 50, so why not?
Some hilariously bad seedings given out in this one. Vanderbilt at 9? Wichita State a 10 vs. Dayton? VCU at 10 and URI at 11 when URI just beat VCU. Illinois State should have gotten a chance.

I will only accept total annihilation in that Oregon game.
I need to sit down with my bracket this afternoon. Gonna be a touch one.
Sucks. Would suck a lot more if we had not just won a national championship.
???? They won and are in the final 4.
Football. Which is where our rivalry really is. I mean it extends to everything else but what everyone cares about the most is football. They really needed this because we've won 2 national championships in football now and we beat them in every sport this year. We even beat them in basketball this year. I'm not going to know how to feel if they end up in the championship game against UNC. I hate both of them, so I can't decide what's worse, UNC winning another one or SC winning anything.
Can someone explain this rule to me. I've seen in a men and women's NCAA game in the last few days.
How can the refs call a flagrant foul on a play that they didn't even call a normal foul on in the first place? That makes no sense to me, why would they even review a play that isn't a foul?

Flagrant fouls are personal fouls, just more serious consequences.

But I'm saying they didn't even call a foul on either play. They reviewed a play they didn't call a foul on at all and then called a flagrant foul.

That usually happens. They probably just noticed something in the review that they didnt see as the play unfolded. Maybe there was a slight obstruction of view or the Ref's might have disagreed on the call.
I saw it happen to Siena and their opponents at least 6 times this season. It was definitely more common this season than in the past though.
I wasn't expecting Boston to win this series, but shit that was just ugly.
At least they got the #1 pick this year.
Definitely the result I wanted, but even some of out here us were embarrassed for the Celtics in that game. And it sucks that Isaiah is out now, because we wanted our guys to beat your best, though the haters would still have whined about the East anyway, even if the Celtics forced a game 7, or advanced. And he sure was fun to watch, for most of the year.
The long wait is going to brutal if both the Cavs and Warriors sweep now. Having that much time without any games has got to hurt the league nationally, outside of the two involved markets. It also can't be good that only two teams have looked like legitimate contenders (unless you can find Bradley Beal wherever he is on vacation and ask him).
Big kick back scandal news breaking now. UofL looks like they'll get quacked. Zona will likely get quacked. Auburn/USC coaches involved. Apparel companies involved, financial advisers, shell corps. Turns out getting Pell Grant money when you don't need it brings the full wrath of the Feds.
