@QUCoachGrant Ted Cruz just couldn't get enough Yoav Berman pick and roll sets this season coach
English
They didn’t ask for permission to use that picture lol 😂

College sports are losing what made them special. Cinderella runs don’t last when the biggest programs raid mid-majors' rosters each season. Congress has to fix the legal mess here before college sports as we know it turns into a pumpkin. sports.yahoo.com/mens-college-b…

@tsnmike and no power conference teams will ever play any of them at home. Fair is laughable.
English
Joe misses the fact 38 percent of the NCAA Tournament bracket is reserved for mid-majors.
Only 18 percent of top 68 teams at KenPom.com were mid-majors as tournament began.
Only 22 percent of top 68 in WAB.
The idea they're getting an unfair deal is an invention.

@WeLoveDrafts @TheHoopHerald this has Memphis written all over it
English
@TheHoopHerald He's a 6'3 guard who isn't a great shooter and averaged 0.7 assists for a mediocre at best SEMO team. He'll probably get an opportunity at a higher mid major team but that's about it.
English
One of the craziest Athletes in the country, Luke Almodovar, is transferring and fully expect a High Major to jump in
If you haven’t seen him, watch this insane tape 🫣

@Tyler_Wright14 @johnrivers131 It was v telling that Kelvin really wasn't getting on them much he could tell that weren't the big dogs at the park anymore
English
@johnrivers131 I know it’s early reaction right after the game but that was shock of the tournament other than Iowa/Florida to me. I thought Illinois could win, but I didn’t think it would be by being a better version of Houston. Brad beat Kelvin at his fight choice.

This is also the first Sweet 16 since 1954 that doesn’t include Washington, Kansas, Kentucky, UCLA nor UNC.
History was made.

@DraftDeeper What does a scaled down role look like for a guy with his shooting profile?
English
The bad news: Dailyn Swain hasn't handled pressure well from Purdue as a lead playmaker.
The good news: Dailyn Swain will not be asked to do what he's doing now in the NBA, and all of this experience will only help him in a scaled-down role moving forward.
English
The wider Mirkovic's stance the more certain I am that the set shot will splash
English
@kelleyqh @SkinsHoops86 don't think it's that out of left field, consistent winner at a tough job who took a year to learn high major game
English
@SkinsHoops86 Really surprised Point Loma coach didn’t get this. If the money you speak of doesn’t come in this hire is a head scratcher
English
Interesting hire. Griff Aldrich unique in that he has now been HC on east coast and west coast, even though he is from neither coast (Houston)
Unique background, was partner at some 'big law' firm. Wonder if there is self-funded NIL potential? Did nice job at Longwood

@EliotClough sounds like he's got more than a bit of Knight in him
English
What did McCollum say to his team when they were down 10?
“He slammed his white board and broke his marker on the floor. Ink everywhere. … He was just telling us we sucked, and we were soft.”
Chris Hassel@Hassel_Chris
I love this F ing guy — wake up Hawks!

BREAKING: Former Washington head coach Mike Hopkins has emerged as the favorite in Siena’s coaching search. Sources told @mid_madness.
Hopkins went 118-106 (62-72 in P12 play) as the UW head coach. Is currently a Pelicans assistant. Longtime Cuse assistant. @AdamZagoria first
English
@WestPineBills I heard rumors he was "difficult to work with" but boy does that seem unimportant now
English
@Sam_Federman I don't know if Rice really wants that lol
English
Houston at Rice should be on the schedule next year in exchange for this favor, but doubt theyd ever do it.

I know State fans don't exactly have a reputation for grace, but the amount of noise they made for what ended up being a single season with a play-in loss is just hilarious
English
Takes a lot to shock me with a portal entry these days, but this definitely is one
PortalUpdates@portal_updates
Oregon junior Jackson Shelstad is entering the transfer portal, he announced. The 6’1” guard appeared in 12 games this season, averaging 15.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.
English
@matthewwinick I'm excited to see how D2 player projections change with such a high volume this past year - RMAC and PBC had the highest coefficients for me and I didn't have enough previous SIAC to model
English
@gertybrackets I will say though, one of the best DII to DI transfers in Cedric Taylor was in the SIAC!
English
Seeing a lot of people hyping up DII transfers and flaunting PPG. There are tons of really valuable players for DI teams in that portal, but PPG should basically not matter at all.
Of the 10 top DII PPG players to transfer to DI:
73 starts in 181 games
7.5 PPG
47.6% TS%
English
There's been a lot of chatter and I think people need to realize that both:
1. This has been a great tourney, super exciting games
2. The traditional March Madness cinderella run is probably dead
English
@stephen520AZ @ChancellorTV was going to say somehow Eric Reibe is also on this list lol
English
If you don’t have a big that can bang with Mo Krivas (most teams don’t) good luck trying to beat Arizona.
The only two teams to do so:
- Texas Tech — JT Toppin (All-American)
- Kansas — Flory Bidunga (Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year)
