“Looks pretty obvious to me that high-majors need to play mid-majors during the season. They said we ain’t played nobody—we played somebody now. Nobody would play us. just like nobody would play Miami Ohio. But they gotta play us in this tournament.” 🗣️🗣️

@GUnit_81 So far A is winning in a landslide!

@inflow55 How does Siena’s performance today not at least show that these teams can compete? Will we see FAU vs San Diego State again in the Final Four? No. Is the landscape as chalky as last year made it seem? I also think no. I think it’s between A and B.

Did I think Duke was going to lose? No, but you can’t sit here and tell me the gap between the top teams and the rest of the field is “insurmountable” right now, and if you do you don’t have eyes and or clearly didn’t watch the quality mid-major teams play this season.

@Stuckey2 The whole thing is a lull if you take HPU out. The haves and have nots continue to grow apart until inevitably the power leagues break away to form their own version of minor league basketball for the NBA

Oh no we are going to hit the dreaded late afternoon lull

@GUnit_81 Cmon we all knew duke was winning after the first 6 or 7 minutes of the first half. This entire second window is a dud. Nil is gonna continue to make the gap insurmountable overall

The number one overall seed in the tournament is in a life or death game right now with a 16 seed.

@GUnit_81 Congrats on exactly one (1) upset so far

Remember everyone the past 12 months following last year’s NCAA Tournament saying parity in college basketball is dead and that we’d never see upsets again.

SIENA KILL SHOTTTTTT

SAINTS ON A 10-0 RUN 🤯 #MarchMadness @SienaMBB

My favorite part of March is when the crowd turns on a 1 vs a 16 even if it is just fleeting

@MarchMadnessMBB fix your app! The listening feature is displaying last year’s matchups!

Pretty good strategy for Miami to deploy five Jack Gohlkes at once

WHAT A FINISH 🤯

Brant Byers has Jordan Kent HYPED 🔥🔥 #MarchMadness @MiamiOH_Bball

MID MAJORS

Love this idea! Shoutout to @zeaton12 for setting it up Make sure you use the link below to donate and join the bracket challenge! Make sure to select “men’s basketball” from the drop down give.butler.edu/give/481721/#!… Go Dawgs! #DawgsOnly

@ButlerGuru What a great team, doo bad they had an ultra stacked bracket. This is also about how I imagine the 2020 team would do

9 years ago today The 4-seed Butler Bulldogs defeated the 13-seed Winthrop Eagles in the 2017 NCAA Tournament, 76-64 Avery Woodson led the way w/ 18 points. Andrew Chrabascz & Kelan Martin had 12 & 10 points, respectively. Tyler Lewis also had 9 points & 8 assists #DawgsOnly

@MattNorlander Weird about face and I’ve no clue where we look now, but it’s gotta be a real coaching search and not just “here’s a former butler guy we like”

Carousel stops for nothing. We have another high-major opening, just days after Butler's AD said Matta would be coming back.

@hardwiredsports That was a quick about face

“Butler University Men's Basketball Coach Thad Matta announced this morning that he is retiring from coaching but will remain with the University as Special Assistant to the President and Athletic Director. A national search for a new head coach is underway.”

Only major gripe is Vanderbilt as a No. 5 seed. Entered today ranked... 8th in KPI 7th in SOR 9th in WAB 14th in BPI 11th in KP 10th in TRK Not sure where a No. 5 comes from (had them as a No. 4).

An open letter to the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee. #LetUsIn #ValleyInMotion #MVSU2026
