CBS obsessed with 3-14 Ohio State this year. They could have had Northwestern going for a Big 10 championship at Maryland instead.

Not a knock against UNI, but this seems a like the typical season when somebody like them gets hot in St. Louis and totally screws the conference over.

UNI is really young this year. Drake and Bradley will probably be the favorites but Indiana State, Belmont, and Southern Illinois are capable also if they upset one of the top 2 teams.

I have seen some people saying a Bradley win today followed up by a return matchup in the MVC tournament final and a Drake win could get them both in.

This is going to be Jacobson’s 5th .500 season or below in the last seven. That surprises me. He’s had some bad injury luck though I think.

That would be awesome. I'm not an expert on the Valley but I assume it's probably a 1 bid league. Neither has much in their non-conf that would warrant an at-large bid.

I don't mind the Valley but I just don't see that happening.

Coaches refusing to foul up 3 in late game situations always befuddles me. And then this happens just like Michigan St vs Iowa yesterday.

First off I can't tell you the last time I've seen a Colorado game on TV. Second, they still have the style of backboards that are hung off of the ceiling? Besides Duke I don't know when I've seen that last. I would think those gigantic supports would be awful and block out a lot of sight lines.

What the ****?? I was doing some gutter work today and tried to keep an eye on the Wisconsin score. The espn app said 68-65 final and so I put my phone away. Then I get home and see it went to overtime and we lost.

Dickinson hit a miracle 3 at the buzzer because the Wisconsin guy got greedy and went for the steal. Michigan dominated in OT, reminded me of the Iowa ending yesterday.
