They should've put Miami/Ohio on ABC. This is greater than any 20/20 episode in history.

Yearly reminder: conference tournament upsets are (usually) bad for NCAA Tournament upsets
About to be 26-6 because, unlike the Sun Belt, the Missouri Valley does not protect its best teams
Ah damn it. Well, that one was at least somewhat unintentional.
Wonβt happen, theyβre probably a 10 seed though which is just as embarrassing.
Iowa is trying to Ferentz this one to the finish and boy, do I have to tip the cap
In which I explain very politely to the Sun Belt, and all its detractors, that the Sun Belt ladder format is objectively right. www.basketunderreview.com/the-sun-belt...
Will is correct. You solve the 6 way tie fiasco by using WAB or conference SOS, but preferably WAB, as tiebreaker. All problems solved.

Conference tournament season starts tonight. We'll post tourney probabilities with occasionally fun commentary here:

@coachbrucepearl u are flat out wrong about @MiamiOH_BBall when u say we would finish last in the Big East. The disrespect is awful and u should not be near a TV studio covering this sport when u show your true colors! Even slipped in a "we" when talking about Auburn, nice work
He is embarrassing himself and should not be on TV covering this sport and saying these things!
Broke: Bruce Pearl saying Miami would finish last in the Big East and other nonsense
Woke: Miami AD responding on Twitter, dragging Pearlβs ass:
That's why I like Ken's model, which I don't think they'll adapt (they'll probably just say current format + 8 teams without any guardrails) but gives more chances for MMs. For instance, field of 80 for 2026 means the Southland could get both SF Austin and McNeese in
I think that loss is probably it for Belmont's at-large chances. Massive, massive bummer. I like WAB for a lot of reasons but at some point we've got to grapple with how hard these mid-majors have it. 26-5 in a top-10 league and your season is done unless you win the conference tourney.
Two weeks from now we'll have a bracket
One of my favorite parts of the NASCAR on Fox experience is the once-per-race mention of a podcast that one of the announcers and most famous drivers of the last 30 years hosts. Never twice, never zero times, exactly one time. It rules.
Posting to record a historic moment in human history: with a minute left in Ohio State/Purdue and OSU up 10, Robbie Hummel said that Purdue DOES need a three here. This is the first time a commentator has ever correctly noted that you do NOT need a two. March 2026 is a new world.
They are such an obvious pick that I'm afraid it can't possibly happen.
UNC last year really should've been the end of discussions surrounding "quadrants" now that WAB exists, but people seem to have trouble with a top-40 team not having the illustrious "marquee win." There would be no difference analytically if they had beaten UNC 71-70 in December versus losing 71-70.
This would be a huge win for dangerous 11 seed Ohio State, who would go from being a dangerous 11 seed to a dangerous 11 seed by adding a Quad 1 win.
@norlander.bsky.social Free idea for 26-27: you and Parrish announcing a soccer game on CBSSN, while the soccer crew does EOCBB for a day
I think this loss is great because itβs the exact event that makes the dumbest portion of tennessee fans cry and whimper for a new coach. Meanwhile normal fans simply praying for smarter discussion of the team are left to agree with the Eeyore contingent that, indeed, team bad
