I will say I have talked to coaches who like Valentine. They know he is going to be a showboat, but he also is considered one of the refs least likely to be influenced by coaches so they feel you at least get a more evenly called game - even if he likes to insert himself into it. They don't feel...

The Midwest is this years Region of Doom.

FWIW, according to the Ohio Univ head coach he has been told the UVA player who tested positive is not a starter. Which at least narrows it down to one of three players as it has also been said that it is someone who played. That means it has to be either Woldentensae, Morsell or McCoy. one...

As most on here know, Pastner was in the H*** no category for me 5 years ago. I was vehemently opposed to hiring him. But i'm happy to be wrong. He did exactly what he said he would do from his opening press conference. He was going to build a get old, stay old program and MBob told him he had 5...

Nice article from the Memphis paper on Pastner and how many Memphis fans are happy for him. Josh Pastner has a great March Madness story at Georgia Tech and Memphis is happy for him Mark Giannotto Memphis Commercial Appeal Of all the ways in which the college basketball world was exposed to...

Both GT and Loyola are mentioned in this article on the 7 hottest teams entering the Tournament (FWIW, the other 5 teams mentioned are AL, TX, Houston, SDSU and Liberty). #1 seeds were excluded from consideration. https://sports.yahoo.com/march-madness-2021-seven-hottest-103341180.html Georgia...

It's after 6 pm, so the field is officially set. If any team can't play at this point it becomes a no contest and the opponent moves forward automatically.

I'm very interested to see how UVA performs this weekend. UVA has been isolating its players in individual rooms and will have no practices before it plans to leave for IND Thursday night. So i'm thinking they get one practice on Friday before the game Saturday. Dave Gavitt says 67 teams have...

This year's defensive efficiency is 3rd out of the 5 years Pastner has been here. It's the first year GT hasn't had a major rim protector at the back so the defense was really re-tooled. It's a good number, just not a great one. on the flip side, the offensive efficiency is the best at GT since...

I wonder if CoC would look at Jonas Hayes. He would probably be a good fit there.

Those 2 losses may have been blessings in disguise (@Clemson as well). Sometimes you need losses to get yourself to the right place. Those 2 losses made Pastner change his practice plans pretty fast. And then I feel like that loss to Clemson hurt so bad it really fueled how they are playing...

Midwest Region writeup https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/2021-ncaa-tournament-bracket-midwest-region-march-madness-predictions-upsets-players-to-watch/ Every year in the NCAA Tournament, there's at least one Region of Doom. You know what I'm talking about: That oh-so-special...

Tadams posted a good article on the tourney as far as what the committee got right and wrong. Here is another one on seeding winners and losers https://sports.yahoo.com/march-madness-2021-ncaa-tournament-bracket-selection-sunday-winners-losers-234221304.html Selection Sunday losers...

Here is Loyola-Chicago's NET Team Sheet http://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2021/team-net-sheet?team=Loyola-Chicago This is a program and a team that is not to be feared, but should be respected. Four straight 20+ win seasons (97 wins in the last 4 years). I do not expect this to be an easy...

If I was seeding it would be a 7, similar to this bracket https://www.bloggingthebracket.com/2021/3/14/22330001/bracketology-2021-college-basketball-ncaa-tournament-selection-sunday-bracket-projection I think he has the ACC schools really well placed in terms of their profiles. He has GT 7...

I want to say this about ACC teams. I went back and looked through their team sheets this morning (WarranNolan.com updates them daily) Here is GT's: http://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2021/team-net-sheet?team=Georgia-Tech Looking at the team sheets for all the ACC team's that are in or on...

I've been gone for awhile - been a tough winter (and then decided I would not post until either GT was in the NCAA Tourney or the season was over) but I am so happy for the players, the coaches and the staff (as well as the fans). Fantastic job by all of them. This has been sorely missed and...

The most interesting item to watch today is how many additional bowl games get cancelled. With so many programs opting out of playing (especially the P5 schools), there's not going to be alot of programs left for bowl games. According to Brett McMurphy the ACC Bowl games will be UNC to Orange...

One correction on this. the CFB is a money grab for the P5, not for the NCAA. The NCAA gets exactly $0 from FBS college football. They have almost no role at all in it (basically other than to determine eligibility of the players) and make no money off of it. The FBS and its money is controlled...

This will actually be something to watch over the next 2 weeks. So far 11 bowl games, including 4 with ACC tie-ins have cancelled. There are expected to be more. it will also be interesting to watch colleges. Both BC and Pitt have announced that their players have voted not to go to a bowl...
