Biggest tourney storyline: Iowa State was unranked in the preseason (actually didn't get a vote despite being kp 31). Will the Cyclones be the first team in the 64-team era to pull off the [unranked preseason -> top 2 seed -> final four] hat trick?

If Baylor cannot go that far (I don't expect it), then I would prefer houston, Tech, or Iowa State to do it. I don't seriously expect to get any of my wishes!

Kentucky has won one NCAA Tournament game since 2019

Kentucky has won one SEC Tournament game since 2019

Put everything else aside. Those two statistics alone are enough to say that this situation is becoming untenable

Just lost the final leg of a 7-game parlay because Auburn couldn't not piss down their leg. Would have won $6k, too.

Feels bad, man.

The Pac-12 improves to 5-0 on an incredible 102-100 Colorado win over Florida. The Conference of Champions refuses to go gentle into that good night.

The Big 12 just missed the Elite 8 for the first time since 2015.

It’s a bust of a season. Can’t brag about being the best conference in America when you can’t get a team to the Elite 8 and only got two to the Sweet 16.

No excuses. March was a bust.

Alabama is headed to its first Final Four in program history...and an important reason why: Oats' emphasis on +EV shot selection.
