Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 It is exciting. What would be more exciting for the regular season is to only have the top 8 teams make the conference tourneys. Other sports have a cut off point for their conference tournaments, why are the basketball tourneys a giant participation trophy event? Imagine the battles in the B1G this year where making the conference tourney would basically guarantee an NCAA bid. It would also clear up some TV time for the mid-majors to play some meaningful games on a national platform.Mid major tourneys get a lot of love during that time. It’s an entire conference fighting for only one spot. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appThe finals of these tourneys get the love for most of the low and mid major conferences but as far as watching the entire conference tourneys for some of them someone would have to look really hard to find them. Now the MVC and the other recognizable mid major conferences get more tv time but for instance the SoCon is going to be a fantastic tourney. I’m guessing espn will only air the finals and maybe the semifinals. That will be one where I watch the early rounds on espn + or espn 3 or I might have to find a feed on one of the teams facebook page Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I'm referring to mid majors that historically get multiple bids like the WCC, A-10, Mt West, or the MAC in a good year. The semi-finals rarely get shown on a decent network cuz you gotta have the 11 vs 14 B1G, ACC, or $EC game. Quote

I get every station in the world. There’s a sports app that literally has links to every college basketball being televised no matter how local the station sometimes down to the DIII level. Quote
LIHoosier Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 For some reason, Xavier/Seton Hall are playing at 11am and Seton Hall aren't awake yet. 14-2 Xavier at the Rock. Quote

I get pretty much every channel now except the ACC network. Thanks for the heads up. I don’t think it’s humanly possible to watch as much college basketball as I do now. I got 3 TVs of games going each night. During championship week I bring down a 4th tv. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Uspshoosier Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Kansas wins it. Texas Tech battled back a couple times but still lost. Not sure why Ramsey didn’t try to shoot a 3 down 3 with 6 sec left. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

Bgaines99 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Just watched Kansas take the win over Texas Tech and right after, Bruce Pearl’s pregame pep talk aired and man, we need that guy or a guy like that. I’m sick and tired of the Miller era already Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
JerryYeagley23 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Gonzaga will survive. But still think their conference has insulated them from ending up a 2 or 3 seed where they more likely deserve to be based on talent and not record. Quote

Uspshoosier Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Great game in the Ivy League. Princeton hangs on and beats Harvard. They gave up a lead and then Princeton’s big man hits 2 FT with 3 sec to give them a 1 pt lead. Heck of a game Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
