Geno, told by a reporter that there are photos/videos of a pregame handshake with Dawn, says that the reporter missed the point of what he was saying. “Anybody that's been in the NCAA Tournament, you know what I'm talking about,” Geno said.

@DanWolken The )over here is women's college hoops. It was a physical game uconn wasn't ready for, and maybe not capable of playing. I don't know enough of the rules to say if it should've been called differently. Geno mad at the refs. Mad at how poorly his team shot. He handled it poorly.

UConn *really* needs Azzi Fudd to start scoring. Outside of the Syracuse game, she hasn't played well all NCAA Tournament.

It's a great March Saturday when it starts with Cream Abdul-Jabbar vs. Michigan and ends with this guy vs. Darius Acuff and Arkansas. bit.ly/3NzWVZd

Gotta say thought two fouls on Avila, plus a few missed threes and a quick Michigan spurt would be trouble. Instead Billikens hustle plays making difference

What an incredible sequence to get to OT in that game. No timeouts, huge shots.

In this interview on the Selection Show, chair Keith Gill indicated that the committee's belief that BJ Edwards would be available for the NCAA Tournament tipped the balance to make SMU the last team selected. The Mustangs lost four of their last five games while Edwards was injured. SMU told the committee and the public that Edwards would be available for the NCAA Tournament. Now we learn that he will not play tonight vs. Miami (Ohio). I understand that injuries and availability can be an inexact science, so we should not be quick to assign motives. But it is highly unusual for an injury to have this much consequence on selection, only to have the information prove to be incorrect. There needs to be a full accounting as to what happened and why, and how much the information that SMU provided to the committee was a factor in this decision. It goes directly to the integrity of the process. I hope this question will be further addressed and clarified in the coming days. In the meantime, I hope we get a great game!

First-round matchups that could be bowl games Louisville-USF, probably in Birmingham Ohio State-TCU. A disappointed Buckeyes playing in Arizona, maybe. Miami-Missouri. Welcome to Nashville! Clemson-Iowa. Classic Gator Bowl.

This Keith Gill interview is yet another reminder how much more consistent and methodical the hoops selection process is than football. And he can actually articulate their reasoning, unlike those Tuesday night CFP shows.

@DanWolken Will be interesting to watch Ore/GT/Vandy/Ole MIss-trying to keep teams focused on playoff pursuit while coaches being pursued by other schools. Players read articles, too.

@andystaples UF/LSU bidding war for Kiffin. UF can't lose it because no good easy 2nd choice, except maybe Drink. Hartline, Stein and Faulkner will be persued. Unlikely (tho not impossible) Lea, Dillingham or Key leave Alma maters. PS maybe to Brady.

But I’ll double down with this. The best coaches working right now are: Ryan Day (coordinator when he was hired) Kirby Smart (coordinator) Dan Lanning (coordinator)

I think it’s easy to say “just go find your Mike Elko” when you’re not the one who has to make the hire. (I know, because I’ve said exactly what Matt said here a bunch of times on the show.) But it’s probably a lot harder to pull the trigger when there are big names available.
Matt Barrie@MattBarrie

I think the LSU job is the premier vacancy by a decent margin. Use the Mike Elko model and you’ll see the answer crystal clear. And it would be a home run in Baton Rouge.

🚨🏈 New (I mean NEW) pod is live. Podcast realignment is addressed. Then we're on to CFP expansion, saluting Corso, press conferences as spectator sport, many predictions -- and college courses on zombies, beer and barbecue. With @genowoj @BryanDFischer bit.ly/4oKVWmH

Dan Gavitt previously told me on-record that a decision for the 2026 NCAAT would likely require action taken in "the spring." We're now approaching midsummer and the controversial issue is still TBD. Certainly seems possible—at the very least—that 2026 *could* be a 68-team NCAAT.

Update: The NCAA Tournament selection committee has wrapped its annual summer meeting and there is NO decision in on whether or not to expand the NCAA Tournament, source confirms to @CBSSports. An official update from the NCAA is expected shortly. @PeteThamel first here.
