I prefer seeing a healthy Wagler come NCAA tourney time....don't think the "bodying" him up so much will be allowed. I think this kid and Mirk will feast at the foul line. Come tourney time, the calls get tighter, (it's one of the reasons-a B1G team doesn't do anything annually). I think this year sets up pretty nice in that regard for us. I wouldn't be surprised to see some 11-12, 13-15 kind of free throw games from one or either of them.

I actually prefer the 4 line. I want Wisconsin over Purdue and another shot at Michigan possibly…

I agree.  Gives us the revenge tour.  Wisconsin would never have beaten us with our 8 man rotation.  Plus, we're motivated against them.  Juwan had something right in wanting to take that swing.   Another loss to scUM doesn't hurt our seeding and who knows, with a win.

Santa Clara beats St Mary's in the WCC Semi-St. Mary's was tied with the Zags with conference record...Zags won.

Miami of Ohio goes down.....and NOW no more discussion on getting into the Big Dance.....this kind of shows why a terrible schedule plays a part in selections. They had the undefeated thing helping them until now...Still a very good season for a middling school, but not dance worthy.

They reportedly have the emails showing schools refused to schedule them.

Lunardi has them stil in.

Yeah, let’s kick out the 31-1 team and put in 19-12 Indiana who lost by 15 or whatever to Northwestern on a neutral floor last night

It doesn't matter who you DIDN'T play come March-April it's who you did............they didn't play anyone that SHOULD be in the dance other than who wins that conference tourney.

Miami of Ohio SOS - 344th out of 365 teams, VS consideration of a 9-10-11 team from the B1G who played a SOS of 50-and NW was at 29?

That speaks to getting left out, glad they had the season they had but................they only had 3 other teams even above 500 in conference and 5 teams total above 500 in conference for the season.

That just perpetuates the vicious cycle. No one needs to see middling B1G and SEC teams in TOTTM.

Three months after he started trying to assemble a non-league schedule that would challenge his battle-tested roster, Miami (Ohio) associate head coach Jonathan Holmes recognized that the RedHawks had a problem.

No one wanted to play a sneaky-good mid-major that won 25 games the previous season and retained six of its top nine players.

Holmes spread word last spring that Miami was willing to travel to two or more power-conference opponents with no expectation of a future return game in Oxford. Coaches who responded to Holmes’ messages told him they wanted only marquee matchups against top-tier opponents or low-risk games against small-conference pushovers ranked 275th or worse.

The feedback was similar when Holmes lowered his sights and began targeting elite teams from the Atlantic 10, Mountain West and other top mid-major leagues. Some coaches saw no benefit in scheduling Miami. Others didn’t have open dates available. The few who initially expressed interest got cold feet when Holmes sent contracts for them to sign.

My favorite moment from Bad News Bears Breaking Training.....

regardless of your strength of schedule, winning 97% of your games is still impressive and they should be in the tourney

They will be, but they should not be with that SOS. I hope your right, as of now, they are in the current bracket and Wisky's guards will light them up.

Join a different/better conference.....teams do it all the time. Wonder why they haven't been invited to join a bigger well known conference? Maybe because they are not that good, won't bring anything to the table, and will only suck $$$ out of the bigger one. If they get in, AND WIN, I will be the first to say "you and others told me so".....don't think thats gonna happen though.
