Drake down 10 at home to Missouri St with 14:40 to go. Would be a very damaging loss

Harlan/Bonner combo calling the Illinois/Michigan game let you know March Madness isn’t far away

Drake up 1 at half

Drake/Missouri St starting on espn +

IU pulling Drew from Baylor would send shockwaves though the college basketball landscape. Maybe not all the IU fans would love it but the rest of the college basketball world would be floored

Kennesaw State up 4 at Liberty with 4:24 to go

Sparty up 1 with 15:46 to go

Easy with the name calling. That stuff will get hidden as well as anything quoting it

Indiana St up 31 with 7 min to go. Tough season after the dream season but finished the Valley 8-12. Hope they make a run in the MVC tourney

Yeah they are definitely right on the bubble. They have to beat some of the other top MWC teams in their tourney and avoid a bad loss. Almost lost last night

25-VCU, 26-Colo, 27-UTAHST, 28-Lsu; 29-Wash, 30-Prov, 31-Marq, 32-Hou; 33-Tenn, 34-CINCY, 35-Mich, 36-Creigh, 37-Okla, 38-NDame, 39-NCSt, 40-Wisc, 41-Illini, 42-Wvu (LAST FOUR IN) 43-Dayton, 44-Indiana, 45-KanSt, 46-MissSt... Lunardi has IU as last 4 in on November 11 If anyone cares. Not sure where the last Bracketology thread went so I’m starting another one Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Woody was only 4-4 against Purdue but when a coach goes 0-7 before that 4-4 looks fantastic

Big West-UC-San Diego MVC- Drake AAC-Memphis WCC-Zags or St Mary’s MWC- New Mexico, Utah St, San Diego St might be more but I would have to check. These are the teams you would want to win the tourneys. If anyone besides these teams win then some bids could be stolen.

Here is where the difference is Nova is 12-11 against the top 3 Quads (unwritten rule for the committee is no team has ever gotten an at large being under .500 against meaningful games (top 3 Quads) Minny is 8-14 against the top 3 Quads. Minny is also 1 game over .500 where history tells you an at large better be 4 games over .500 to have a shot. I think only 7 teams all time have gotten an at-large bid being only 3 or 2 games over .500 and 2 of those were the year after covid where not everyone played a full schedule

Never mind I’m looking at 2024. Sorry

Nova doesn’t have a Q4 loss just a heads up

That’s a good question. My guess is some predictive metrics are holding them down and they have couple bad losses as well. Umass loss even on the road is a bad loss

Unless those Indiana Hoosiers are still rolling in the tourney then they will have to wait until they lose

Same. I want no part of watching them in Dayton

Dayton possibly

Ohio st plays Nebraska first. They are at 16-13. Ohio st needs to be 4 games over .500 to a chance to be considered for an at-large in my opinion. The loser of the that game is in trouble. If iu wins at Oregon they would be in really good shape to be out of the First 4 even with a loss to Ohio st. All this depends on bid stealers and the bottom of the bubble however IUs late surge have put them in a good spot

And miss out on pretty much every aspect of being a parent. Listen to any coach that is out of the game or just taken year off and hear the joy in their voice about being able to be an actual parent. Like you said the most successful ones give up a piece of their life just for a game
