As for Creme's bracketology it's as if he doesn't even try. Miami should not be a 9 seed and IMO maybe not even be in the field. And either Creme himself made a mistake or someone on his staff did. Miami has an aq(automatic qualifier) by their name. As of right now Miami is 9th in the ACC. Yet UT is a 10 seed. Miami is 49th in the NET and 75th in the RPI. UT is 36th in the NET and 25th in the RPI. Miami has 3 Quad2 losses at 0 and 3. UT has 0 Q2 losses and is 4 and 0 in Q2 games. The 2 school profiles aren't even close, yet Miami is a 9 seed and UT is a 10. Big eye roll.

Brink didn't play for Stanford tonight. Still a big win for Arizona.

Just shows you how much a quality post player means to a team. Without Betts UCLA was average and now they won by 30 the other night. The number one priority of any team should be to find that quality post player. It is what SC does first and then point guard and those two positions alone with elite players really ups your total success to win.

Same with LSU. Every championship team Kim has had has been built around talented interior players.

I think Juju is on her way to becoming the new women basketball's phenomenon for her entire career. That is great for the game to keep having stars pushing the game forward and growing interest in the game. The only limit to her is that she is stuck at USC, where interest in men's or women's college basketball is nil other than a little bump when Cheryl Miller was there. They had less than 6,000 for their huge game with Colorado. Can you imagine if we added Juju to the LV roster the interest that would generate?

Maybe bring the coach and she will come with her, that’s why it’s good to have an elite wing player, it’s easier for them to control the game and the ball is in their hands most of the time.

How far can MTSU go in the tourney this year?

I think they'd have to land a really good first round matchup to get anywhere. Right now Charlie Creme has them as a 10-seed playing 7-seed Florida State, which might not be a terrible matchup since Florida St. is pretty weak in the post, so maybe Boldyreva could go off for MTSU.

Last year MTSU had a higher NET (28 vs. 38 this year), a better Q1 record (2-1 vs. 1-3), and a better signature win (blowing out Louisville, an Elite 8 team vs. beating us this year without Rickea). Aside from us, the only top 100 team they've beaten is Houston (#98), while losing to #26 Princeton, #48 Michigan, #72 Belmont, and #86 Grand Canyon.

I think they were better last year, and that team got throttled 82-60 by Colorado in the first round.

Somebody might want to tell Mr. Creme that his facts are not factual.
