Big winner is the 1 seed SF Austin that gets a tired McNeese tomorrow in the finals.   Should be a good one.  2 best teams in the Southland

Yikes, #15 for E Washington has one of the ugliest shooting forms you'll see

[Uspshoosier]

Games start at 11:30  today St Bonaventure/La Salle  and last game starts  at 11:30 Idaho/Montana for the Big Sky championship. Starch Madness ends the day

Syracuse has fired Red Autry after three seasons, source confirmed to CBS Sports.  The plan has been for current AD John Wildhack to fire Autry and then the incoming AD to make next hire.

Three tourney-less seasons would do in DDv as well. No issue with that

Rooting for MD over Iowa and Pitt over Will Wade in this early window

From an IU perspective Maryland is 2 spots from being a Q2 road win for IU.  
 

If Iowa loses that will be 7 out of their last 9 they will have lost with 2 of those to Maryland which is 137 NET 

nc state has lost 6 out for their last 7 and a loss today would be 7 out of 8.

For sure. 3 strikes, you're out in supremely fair in sports. 

If we followed it with Woodson, we'd have hired Dusty when Michigan did. And if we followed it with Archie, but still hired Woodson, we could've hired Dusty coming off his final four run.

3 strikes and out is fair. Don't need to give every coach 4 years.

Woody actually did make the tourney his first two seasons.

Love Evan Miya's work. Seems notable the four likely 1 seeds all have really good 8th men. This shows the difference between each team's most impactful and 8th impactful player. IU is not in the chart because I'm pretty sure he only includes the projected field at this time of year in his graphics. Safe to say ours would look similar to BYU, Iowa, Ohio State. 

Also interesting how little drop off there is for Louisville.

True but his 3rd season sucked terribly and he wasn't even putting effort into the job so he earned being canned despite the two tournament appearances IMO but no need to relitigate the situation that screwed us out of hiring a possibly generational coach lol

Maybe they had a clause in there that says it doesn’t count if you get boat raced by a WCC team not named Gonzaga in the round of 64

There was that clause so Woody decided to go out and get boat raced by Gonzaga a few years later

Pitt can’t miss right now.  Up 9 over NC State

Norlander - Oregon State has hired Michigan assistant Justin Joyner as its MBB coach, sources told @CBSSports. Joyner, 38, spent the past two seasons on Dusty May’s staff. He played at UC Santa Barbara and was also a longtime assistant under Randy Bennett at Saint Mary's.

Not the start to the 2nd half Pitt wanted

[LamarCheeks]

Bobby Hurley going out with a whimper. 

Iowa State up 42-12 late in the first half. 

Yikes. 

[Jeff Flabjohns]

20-0 run for Iowa. Along with NCSU they’ll be safely in the tournament
