We are still in a very small sample size. There have been near-misses that would significantly change the narrative. It could be portal/NIL, but I think we need deeper analysis and we probably should be talking more about how conference realignment weakened mid majors.

Miami (Ohio) went a historic 31-0 in the regular season and was still a bubble team for March Madness. After leading the RedHawks to their first NCAA tournament game this century, head coach Travis Steele said: “We more than belong.”

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!

Thanks for the memories, Logan 🧡🖤

Jermaine Burton on if he feels misunderstood by the public: "I feel like people, for the most part, when they read headlines or the title of something, they just run and form their own opinion." "My family, my teammates, they really know the real person that I am."

Interesting names I’ve seen so far: Kevin Keatts, Chris Mack, Nolan Smith, Wes Miller, Flynn Clayman, Brooks Savage
