@RightyDriesell @BobGreenburg It isn’t fair, win or lose.

@BobGreenburg But it was perfectly fine that Old Forge beat multiple private schools this season, including several in the playoffs? Yet, they lose in the state finals to Sewickley and suddenly wanna cry foul. Funny how this "let's whine about imbalance" argument works only after a loss.

PIAA Executive Director Mark Byers tells me: "The letter from (Old Forge Superintendent) Dr. Gatto was received yesterday morning. I can confirm receipt and yes, I have read it. I will be responding to Dr. Gatto at an appropriate time."

@conorjrogers Those people would then get a higher benefit too, right?

One of the most radicalizing moments of my life was when I learned that they just stop collecting social security taxes on money earned over like $150K. Like you just suddenly keep 3-6% more money on all money over that threshold.

@JenDefends2 @Brittbabi @LauraRutledge Must suck not knowing sports as well as her or being as attractive. Sorry. Actually, not really.

@JenDefends2 @LauraRutledge You would have no shot in a sports conversation.

@LauraRutledge Yah that’s great. I’d dress differently than you but I’m not paid the same

@JenDefends2 You’re an idiot.

@FixingEducation Correct. That is the point.

So now we’ve got older, bigger kids competing against younger ones…on purpose? That’s not development, that’s engineering an advantage.

@InterJoosh @MOD4three “Incredible upset” by the team everyone thought was amazing, then back to earth in the real tournament.

@LetCounty @MOD4three They were 8 point underdogs

We’ve had some incredible upsets: High Point Miami University VCU Unforgettable shots from: Iowa St. John’s Kentucky And Nebraska vs Vanderbilt was one of the best games I’ve ever seen. The NCAAT is the greatest sporting event in the world. Absolutely nothing like it.

@biancoresearch Hard to keep track. Miami was good or was Cinderella?

The Sweet 16 will be all power-conference schools: Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Big 12, and Big East. Since the field expanded to 64 in 1985, it has only happened twice: last year and this year. This year, we can now say it with three games left to finish, as they feature power conference schools playing each other. NIL + the transfer portal are hollowing out March Madness. The old Cinderella model is dying because mid-majors can’t keep the veteran cores that used to make these runs. Once those players establish themselves, they jump to bigger stages and bigger money at power-conference schools. The only double-digit seed left is No. 11 Texas. One of the richest athletic departments in college sports is not what comes to mind when you think “Cinderella.” A bracket with Siena, Miami (Ohio), Saint Louis, and/or High Point still alive would have felt a lot more like March Madness.

@Cabbyfromgreene @brookhoops Are you ok? Something happen in your life recently? Drinking too much? We can find you help.

@brookhoops You ignorant fuck...officials only call what is written by the NFHS so if you want to change a rule don't call out the officials who don't make the rules...JFC

Every high school official watching the Arkansas v High Point game must be losing their minds. I counted at least 6 different players that didn’t have their jerseys tucked in during play!!! AND, play went on for several minutes! Relax guys, everything was still fine! 😂🤪😂

@JBRBracketology @TheLordRiddle Who is requiring this?

@TheLordRiddle It would be a scheduling requirement. 1 of 31 (or could also expand regular season)

We need a scheduling requirement that every D1 team must play a true road non conference game at a Non-P5 each season. (Should probably be 2 such games but we'll start with 1)

@CT23119756 @AndyK1959 @Gregg_Sarra Stop making sense with numbers. They don’t want hear it will actually work.

@LetCounty @AndyK1959 @Gregg_Sarra Add AAA 1100+, AA 825-1099, A670-824,B500-669, C375-499,D275-375, below 275 usu merges or 8 man, 60-65 ish teams each group, if over 8 secs in group have secs with lowest number teams play in - 17 AAA in XI is largest number of teams per section. Doable.

I've been pushing that agenda for state inclusion for a few years. Nassau seems to be interested and Suffolk is not. They always point to the classification breakdown and that Suffolk has too many AA and A schools and not enough in AAA,B,C,D.

@SethDavisHoops They need to pay attention. Thats the job.

It's not that they didn't grant it, they didn't see it. Tough break.

@ByPatForde A good team?

Tennessee was the worst possible matchup for Miami. It's showing.

@morrisoncrying They got the shit kicked out of them

Miami beat an ACC team and performed to seed expectations. That’s it. End of narrative. Awesome story

@JonHufford @CollegeHoopsTIk lol. When was your bracket due for the tournament? Tuesday or Thursday?

@LetCounty @CollegeHoopsTIk 🤦‍♂️ It is called a 68 team field for a reason. First four are still tourney games (or does SMU not get a tournament loss?)

The MAC regular season champions Miami (OH) RedHawks and the MAC tournament champions Akron Zips lost by a combined 42 points against the Power 5 teams that were afraid to schedule them.

@JonHufford @CollegeHoopsTIk This was the first round. MAC 0-2 in the tourney.

@CollegeHoopsTIk After Miami knocked out who earlier in the week? Oh, an invincible P5 team

@Bengals_Freak Higher seed won 50 of 60 going into the final four last year.

No wonder these P5 schools don't schedule mid-majors. They're getting cooked by VCU, High Point, and Miami-OH. Even Sienna led for 90% of the game against Duke. No wonder they have to hide in their metrics faux bubble.

@nickbateman33 Lost in the first round. By a lot.

I’m choosing to remember Miami Ohio as that 31-0 team that won a tournament game over the ACC

@kylamb8 Ass kicking.

The "Miami proved it belonged in this tournament" college basketball media crowd is kind of quiet right now with 6-seed Tennessee putting it to them. Little different when you're not playing an undermanned SMU team that had no business in the field.
