I was never convinced the SEC was really good this year. The basketball I witnessed watching our games all winter was pretty shitty, honestly.

But, if the committee and the media types want to jerk SEC basketball off for once, fine.
I think people were correct when they said it was the best conference top to bottom. Were ANY of us a great team or a top 5 team? Nope. But when you play tough teams every night with no gimmies, you’re likely to have some success in the tourney.
 
Hope UMBC has no regrets in 30 years after leaving a few memories on the table.

Maybe in the last minute, the 5 players on the floor for UMBC could have begun replicating the shenanigans Monmouth's bench used to do a few years ago.

Pulled down #11's headband over his eyes so when the clock ticked down from 5 seconds, he could have been wondering aimlessly around the floor with his arms extended.

UMBC's coach could have grabbed the mascot's head and worn for the last 30 seconds of the game and through the handshake line.

Only live once.......

Would have looked good on One Shining Moment....
 
I think Sports Journalist loves Virginia because they can picture themselves playing for them. “I’m not athletic or skilled but, darn it, I’m smart and full of pluck. Oh, and white.”
That's exactly it. Boomer and Gen X coaches are wired in this way as well. They can't say "I could play for this guy!" so they have to tout the style of play as the way the game should be played, when every college basketball out there knows the opposite is true.
 
Our bracket for once in our lifetime

^ A massive dude that clears out space by using his elbows. Yes, I can imagine they might not approve it. Especially if it has any metal parts or parts that protrude.
 
Maybe this is sanctimonious, but I think it's kind of disgusting to send a kid out on the court to play basketball after he fractured his GD elbow a day and a half ago. It's a freshly fractured elbow. There's no way that's okay. And I don't care that he wants to do it. Tell him you respect the stones but to get pumped because you care about him as a human being.
 
That’s an obvious point yet the media will make it out that he’s a “warrior”. Meanwhile, he’ll be 65 and broke because he’s disabled and the NCAA will still be raking.

[eyeroll] Oh please.


Kid is a Sr (22 years old) on the best team they’ve had in forever, vacant from any draft boards — Not some 18 year old lotto pick with a knee injury.

He’s getting plenty of advisement/advice I'm sure. If he wants to try to help his team, good for him.
 
For the first time in forever, the NCAA tourney has basically chummed the waters for UK to advance.

Kind of weird AND AWESOME. #NoChumps.
