I am Big East through and through, but outside of UConn, Marquette and Creighton that conference wasn't any better than the Pac-12. The Pitino act of being God's gift to basketball and feeling like he is owed a bid is BS. I have no doubt he will load up next year, and be a top 15-20 team, but he doesn't deserve to be there this year and the sour grapes routine of not accepting an NIT big is ridiculous. He doesn't have to do it, but to me you are spitting on the history of the tournament so you can get ahead of the NIL chase for a week or so. As much as it is annoying, he is probably right and the NIL movement shouldn't be allowed until the day after the National Title game. 

Oh let me be clear.  I’m not a fan of Pimp Pitino.  Just surprised he didn’t get in with TV ratings at stake.

net doesn’t matter.  KenPom too. 
I watched a ton of Pac 12 games.  Weak conference.  
College selection is broken. 
 

No one said the PAC12 wasn't weak. Outside of the Top 3 in BE, that was weak as well. Colorado had better numbers than St Johns and Slick & Quick Rick

love nick flat out saying he didnt have to play defense here. Maybe that coulda made the difference for us lol 

We need and needed the ball to go through the net. Nick playing or not playing (think he was trying, he just isn't very good), defense was not the end all be all of us.

Will Wade was the guy from LSU and the recruiting scandal.  Just catching up on McNeese State.  He’s pretty crazy but a serious competitor.  He got Wells from TCU and a bunch of other transfers. 
More depressed 😔 now

He's been to the dance now with 3 different schools in 7 years!  "That's a strong ass offer" and impressive, even if he's a scumbag.  Hey there a bunch of scumbag coaches in the tournament, Hurley, Scheyer, Gard, Becker, Byington, Izzo, Wade...

My UVA hoos made the tourney again. They have no business being there and got them losing vs Texas. My other Alma mater NC State had a miraculous run to make it. Got them winning a game or two. Poor Towson is the only one left out..sad
