I’d be more upset playing Minnesota (4 hrs) and Bradley (Peoria 4hrs) in DSM, when EL is 8 hrs away. Remind the committee that you’re the higher seed, not them.

Belmont pissed away a golden opportunity with that sh!tty pass. Picked up his dribble and left himself in limbo. MD was looking for back cut all the way....probably because Belmont had been killing them with it all game.
But numerous analysts on espn told me Belmont would definitely win...
Well since he doesn't get them, he needs to work on his Plan B. The Dickersons, flemmings, Huttons, Daileys, Ellingsons are not working.
Win more often and don't have a media witness/tape of you calling a ref a m'effen cheat.
I thought for sure that kid was gonna call a timeout and instead he throws that lame duck of a pass.
Poor coaching down the stretch by Belmont.
Really surprised with Alfraud's TV debut so far. He's gone almost a full hour without talking about himself.
Ok.
So, don't go after any 4 or 5 stars from now on.
Good plan, got it.
Seriously, he does need to better match players to whatever his strategy is. But, I would hope that includes going after plenty of 4/5 stars.

Right now Iowa has several 4-stars and it is starting to show. They add 2 more next year.
Only Dailey is still at Iowa. Every team has defections, flameouts, etc.

Stupid me. I trusted a team that got beat twice by St John’s during the regular season. Murray St is fun to watch.
Agree. Hoping all eight win. Just a shame (crime) that 3 BIG's were put into one quadrant.
Nope.
Morant is the best guard in the tournament by a mile.
Would be the #1 pick most years.
Nobody saw a margin like this for sure, or other Murray State players contributing so much. But still time for Marquette to get with it.
I have Murray St. in my bracket. I felt like Marquette was a vulnerable 5 seed.
He’s probably pissed at the guy who had a wide open layup but chose to dish it out to go for the win
So Iowa is in the same situation as Marquette. Wait, Morant is playing for Cincinnati as well? And, Iowa is that much worse than Marquette to begin with?
Shut up Leistikow.
Just as meaningful as his "Iowa has beaten 3 power 5 tournament champions" ..oops, make that 2. That sure convinced the committee, huh.
I’m only mad I didn’t have Murray State going further. Time and time again the dominant guards lead their teams on tourney runs... although their defense has been solid also
By far the most poignant example of the committee suckage this year. Murray State most likely would have been OUT if they hadn't won their conference tournament. Maybe time to reevaluate that NET thing? I hope everyone, media, coaches, everyone sends the committee a thank you card.
Ja Morant could impact this tournament the way Steph Curry did with his Elite 8 run while at Davidson.
No, don't recruit total busts as your backup plan when you don't get the 4-5 talent. . Got it?
I don’t think anyone intentially recruits busts. I don’t think you would consider them busts if you knew they weren’t going to be good players, kinda by definition.
St. Mary's and 'Nova coming up. Gotta go with 'Nova, but I enjoy watching Jordan Ford of St. Mary's. He likes driving to the rim. Averages 21/game.
