Maybe I’m just becoming incredibly cynical in this portal era, but how long till the prize pot here increases and teams start to opt out of the NCAA Tournament to play in one where they can win money instead?

IDK about that, but for sure it isn't long until prize $ starts going up and up

Pitino jr to Villanova

Fake news (so far). The account that tweeted it is a parody like Richard G. West.

Let’s Go Mocs!!

Down by 16 at one point, hell of a comeback by the Mocs!

NIT doesn’t occur in NYC anymore. Semis & championship game are at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

I remember Marquette, I believe 1969, shunned the NCAA invite for the NIT. That was about the last time the NIT was considered as prestigious as the NCAA, who only included 16 teams at that time. If you didn't win the regular season championship, you didn't get an invite to the NCAA

Richard Pitino to Xavier. Most had him pegged for Villanova - maybe they’re going to hire Kevin Willard once Maryland’s season ends?

looks like the Kevin Willard rumors have legs. Which is not good for my bracket, I have Maryland beating Florida, they will be unfocused

I also have Maryland beating Florida, but I had St. John's coming out of that region, so my run in the West ends there either way.

Yep I had St Johns beating Maryland in the elite 8.

That's nuts. Another sign the NCAA is likely going away soon.

This Kevin Willard stuff is wild. If you are a Nova fan, do you even want this snake now?

I don't know about "going away".
Rebuild and relaunch seems more plausible to me.

You ain’t kidding. This response is soooooooo weird lol.

Maryland fans getting rambunctious

If you’re a Nova fan I’m sure you do, he wins and your options are quite limited. The better question probably is would Maryland fans want him back?

This Houston team is very beatable. If we end up in the Midwest with them I'm not going to complain.

FWIW, SDSU NET dropped down another point.
Houston still has that quad 2 loss and losing at the break to Baylor 26-29. Little daylight through the crack of the door depending on how this game ends and Houston does in their tournament.

You’re getting your wish.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

You’re getting your wish.

Yep....And I still believe we beat them, too.

Looks like Buzz Williams might be trying to get out of Texas A&M.

Buzz Williams reportedly making push for other job, per report

Buzz Williams may be looking to move on from Texas A&M following the Aggies' Round 2 NCAA Tournament loss to Michigan.

I don't think they can or will win it all this year.
Of course this is a matter of opinion.
Having said that, if you ( meaning anyone) had to put your real money on someone winning it all, I doubt many actually would put that $ on Houston to get it done this year.

You still think Houston’s not a contender?

Not for a title.
