Vs. UCSB. Seth Davis has them going to the Sweet 16, which improves our chances greatly.

Bama 1 overall. Considering they were 30 points worse than the worst team in the Big 12…..

6 Creighton v. 11 NCSt awaits 2nd round.

2 Arizona v 15 Princeton and 7 Mizzou/10 Utah St in Sweet 16.

Other side has 8 Maryland/9 WV, 5 SDSt/12 Charleston, and 4 UVA/13 Furman

Of course they've only revealed one region so far but that doesn't look anything close to a Group of Death.

We play friday.

(See Sunday Selection thread)

We're about to find out if Mike Boynton officially joins the Hot Seat Watch next year..

Possible UT and Aggie matchup in second round.

We can laugh about that Bama loss, but they're rolling right now, even with their controversy. They're gonna be a tough 1 seed.

Way too high. Based on how they're playing the past 3 games, 15 would be more fitting

2003: "a basketball player committing murder is the worst athletic scandal of all time!!!!"

2023: "nothing to see here folks"

---

While I agree with the sentiment, the program didn't get destroyed because one player shot another. It was everything else that came along with it.

especially the way everyone reacted

We can question the football stuff. The basketball stuff was absolutely deserved.

Loss to Marquette not looking as bad as we thought.

The scandal was real & some of the consequences were deserved. I still think there may have been some overreaction because it was Baylor.

Any scandal at a "religious school" will have more bite than at a secular school. Right or wrong, the image and message that the religious schools put out is that they have a higher level of morality than the public. You do the things that happened at Baylor and it will make headlines for a long time.

Exactly... Jerry Falwell Jr at Liberty and the 'pool boy affair ' is a lot more salacious than if it was G. Gordon Gee at Ohio State having a pool boy affair

Even though that's a funnier visual.

Ok, let's face it any Pool Boy Affair is a visualization that you want to scrub from your memory. Thoughts of Legally Blond and the Pool Boy uniform...

I think the public perception is that Christian schools have a higher level of morality or think they do. I don't know that those schools necessarily promote that idea. We are still sinners & make mistakes. We try to live up to God's higher standard and often fail miserably. The school should promote the higher standard while understanding that we still often fail. The bar should be higher especially at the administrative level.

I believe overall they do promote morality and do teach it. So, when stuff happens it gets more coverage.

I agree

minus a coach on a scooter, we've had pretty good luck as the 3 seed for a good while now

Side note, I believe we've played the 11 (whom beat the 6) in each year we advanced.
