@JudgeSma @EnthusiAdams @MiamiOH_BBall Yes. All the MAC schools except Kent State played at Millett. One lost in OT, 2 by a single possession and three by comfortable margins. Also - Ohio State beat Miami in 2023-24. It was Indiana and Michigan that beat them in 2024-25.

@JoeDomes @EnthusiAdams @MiamiOH_BBall Did any of those teams play at Miami?

They played a weak schedule. Couldn't beat anybody from a major conference. Auburn deserves bid. Akron stole a bid. MAC 'sucks'? Fact is Western Michigan played Miami tougher than SMU. So did Buffalo/UMass/Kent St/Akron/Toledo/Ohio...but MAC sucks? Congrats @MiamiOH_BBall

USF head coach Bryan Hodgson's parents are in attendance to watch their son coach in the men's NCAA tournament in his hometown of Buffalo, NY ❤️

@JudgeSma @EnthusiAdams @MiamiOH_BBall Miami played & lost to Ohio State & Michigan last season.This season:Purdue played Akron & Kent State; Michigan State played Toledo;Louisville played Ohio; Buffalo beat DePaul,BG beat Kansas State; UMass beat Florida State & BC. Among top 8, only Miami didn’t play a power school

@EnthusiAdams @MiamiOH_BBall Now you see why the supposedly ‘high’ majors won’t schedule teams like this…….

@ou_country @BracketNky I’d have had no problem with Oklahoma getting one of the last bids. Won 8 of their last 10 before a close loss to Arkansas in the SEC semis. Had major injuries during a long league losing streak. When healthy, they won. Also went 3-3 in non-league power conference games.

Hold up... Bruce you have a point. Oklahoma (first out) should've made it.

@DaytonBC Auburn wasn’t the first team out. Oklahoma is.

Whether Miami (OH) wins or not, we need more mid-majors in the NCAA Tournament. This is simply fun. So glad I am not watching Auburn vs SMU.

It was 7 years ago this week when Indiana Senator Birch Bayh passed away. Senator Bayh wrote Title IX, whose 37 words changed history for girls and women in the U.S. Title IX barred sex discrimination in education and greatly expanded sports programs for women. Thank you, Senator Bayh. Your legacy lives on. 📷: AP

With the big day here, let's take one more look at the Top 12 conferences. Each of the top 12 conferences will receive one exempt bid to the NIT.

Opening Statement from Tod Kowalczyk

I asked Leroy Blyden Jr. about his plans for next season. “Come back to Toledo and win the MAC.”

@CoachLeo_ @coachalexpopp Also in favor of not allowing officials to stop play to check end of game timing, right? Free timeout to both & unfair advantage to the defense by allowing it to set. We’d have never seen Chattanooga’s David Jean Baptiste’s epic OT buzzer beater vs. Furman in SoCon final.

@coachalexpopp I think it’s a bad rule. The current way rewards clock management in the end game. Also I think having a good full court “home run” play is and should be important. Further if you can defend in the back court you shouldn’t lose that opportunity because a team has a timeout

Here’s a “No brainer” for Men’s College Basketball… Timeout advances the basketball into the front court. The women do it. The NBA does it. No brainer

"I don't think I'll ever get over this loss..." Toledo head coach Tod Kowalczyk, after UT lost to Akron 79-76 in heartbreaking fashion in the MAC Tournament Championship. He told @DBriggsBlade that it is "without question" the toughest loss of his career. @BCSNsports
