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'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.

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

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 ( :D ) 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!

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...

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.
