If Texas blows this one,  Underachiever may be named Texas coach on Monday

It does get interesting now...

UConn vs Miami
FAU vs San Diego State.

If FAU or San Diego State wins, they become the first mid major of the modern era to win.

If Miami wins, at 73 I believe Larranagga would be the oldest coach to ever win a title.

If UConn wins, it’ll be their 5th championship in the last 24 years.

Some storylines here but I think the TV ratings will be pretty bad.  If the title game is FAU v Miami I doubt many will watch

First time ever that the Final Four won't have a top 3 seed.

I expect UCONN but am rooting for Miami. Bizarre to realize we could've dumped Bubbles and hired Larranaga and he'd still be here a decade later. Guy is a hell of a coach.

As it turns out, at least in basketball so far, getting players closer to their realistic market value in compensation and letting free agency occur has had the opposite effect of what many short-thinking people worried about.

Or named to replace whoever is named Texas coach.

Clearly the fault of Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott

You could at least have honored Miami-loving IVMP by calling them "low thinkers" instead of "short-thinking people." And threw in a "Suck it, Nichi" for good measure.

On the plus side, I think you won Custard's Bracket Challenge on the tie breakers.

I think the G League and Overtime Elite leagues are watering down college basketball.  The top 10 kids almost always went to the blue bloods.  But now the blue bloods are left getting the top 10-20 players, and those guys aren’t that much different than the bottom 100.
