LOL, sorry, sometimes I just assume the link is what it says it is. Don't hate the GOAT.

I love tournament time. Although the conference tourneys aren't quite the NCAA tourney. But seeing the SEC with a 4, 6, 7, and 9 seed. Or teams fighting for their once chance to punch a ticket (NCSU, a few others)... those Cinderalls and underdogs. Love it.

OSU hiring Diebler.

He deserves it.

He deserves it.

He's got a decent reputation for recruiting, so yeah, the work he did was worthy of an offer.

I was going to do a gotcha link with this, but it's too sad.

OSU gave it a hell of an effort down the stretch. It'll be interesting to see what they do in the NIT.

Also, I saw three teams declined to play in it (OK, St. Johns, and I think Pitt). Honestly, if I was a player, I'd be pissed. These kids attend these schools to play, not to sit and pout. Any game is a chance to develop, get noticed, get coached, etc.

Complaints about seeding and exclusions.

Seriously, how is MSU even in the dance, let alone a 9 seed? They have a worse record than OSU.

I see the OSU women are a 2 seed. I hope they make a run.

I think the players vote on the exclusion. At least, that's what UNC did last year. I'd be surprised if they didn't take players' perspectives into account.

Remember how we discussed elsewhere people who used Excel in completely the wrong ways?

Inevitable.

That's kind of incredible.

I had to look up #13 on Miss St. He's 5'10" and the height difference is really apparent.

Ugh, I havent even watched any of the games yet! stupid work + getting ready for vacation.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:54 pm**

I have dual monitors!! Work on one, game on the other.

I know you're watching now. Good luck.

If you advance to join OSU in round 2 (

) you'll face MSU. Tell your coach that MSU absolutely ignores their white center with the face mask. The other players rarely even high five him. He had 1 Asst and 1 reb in the first half.

I bet $5 on Duq...something's money line. Woot!

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 3:13 pm**

I have work on 3 monitors

I somehow didn't even notice that UNC + MSU were together. My wife went to MSU, I went to UNC. UNC is undefeated in the NCAA tournament against MSU since we got married

I hope that streak continues.

I bet the over on UNC-Wagner...

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 4:27 pm**

Oh, and my kid's Parent-teacher conferrence... finally get to watch now.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 4:35 pm**

I bet $75 on the Over. Need like 4 points with 4 minutes left. And with RJ's 3... I'm good at 136. with 3:44 left

I also bet $25 on RJ + Bacot to each score at least 15 points. That one is good.
