@ByPatForde Jerrod Calhoun will coach in a Final Four at some point. Don't know if it'll be at Utah State, Cincinnati or Ohio State, but it's going to happen.

Snap judgement after seven minutes watching Utah State at court level – serious squad. Athletic, aggressive, and the Aggies know what they’re doing. They’ve put Villanova on the ropes quickly.

Omg. That is an absolutely absurd technical to call in an NCAA tournament game.

Ever wonder about the logistics and whirlwind adventure First Four teams experience? How one goes from campus to Dayton to somewhere else, all while tying to scout multiple opponents, in a matter of days? Then read on! This is the story for you. nil-wire.com/p/four-cities-…

For today's Extra Points, we had @KcSmurthwaite dig deep into the UVU/WAC lawsuit drama. He uncovered, among other things, multiple proposed WAC expansion plans that never got off the ground, like an all-Texas league: (link below)

People often say they’ll unsubscribe to a newspaper or website, but rarely follow through. I genuinely believe that if the NCAA tournament expands, fans will watch less. I think ratings would tank for the pre-Sweet 16 rounds.

Great profile that captures DJ’s persistence and dedication. He’s been one of my closest friends since high school and plays a role in many of my favorite memories. His directness might seem rude, but he’s one of the most generous people I know. He’d be my first call if I were down to my last dollar.

I don’t know about you, but I’m counting down the days until the tournament expands to 76 teams! I mean, who wouldn’t be thrilled to see Auburn and Oklahoma get in after going 7–11 in the SEC?! And let’s roll out the red carpet for Indiana, which finished 9-11 in the Big Ten.

Toledo is 5:19 away from ending the eighth-longest NCAA tournament drought. The tension in the arena is unbelievable.

In five seasons as a head coach — three at Monmouth, two at Toledo — Ginny Boggess is 8-3 in conference tournaments, with three championship game appearances (one win, one runner-up, one TBD). Five wins have been as the lower seed: 7 over a 1, 2 and 3, and a 6 over a 2 and 3.

If the Toledo men and women both win tomorrow, it’ll be the greatest day in the history of the university. That’s not hyperbole.

Toledo is the only school whose men's and women's teams advanced to the semifinals.
