Questioned nationally all year, the ACC and Big East are dominating the NCAA tournament.
The beauty of the NCAA tournament is you can’t manipulate it. You can try, by pushing narratives all season. You can attempt to use analytics to frame your agendas. In the end, the NCAA tournament is the final judge and jury. It has spoken. The best collective basketball in the country is being played where …

Yale and Oakland shutdown SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey’s AQ delusions.
In one of most absurd tone statement statements a conference commissioner has ever made SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey earlier in the week said – “We are giving away highly competitive opportunities for automatic qualifiers (from small conferences), and I think that pressure is going to rise as we have more competitive basketball leagues at the …

Clemson silences critics trouncing MWC Champ New Mexico.
Following an ugly ACCT loss to Boston College, the critics of Clemson basketball and Brad Brownell came out of the woodwork. Was it justified? Maybe Maybe not. This was a team that looked like one of the country’s 15 best in November and December. They played unevenly going 11-9 in conference, and were a trainwreck …

NC State serves notice after thumping Texas Tech.
NC State is no longer just a nice story of the team that got hot for 5 days and won a conference title. After swatting away Texas Tech 80-67, the Wolfpack need to be taken very seriously as a team that can make a real run in the NCAA tournament. NC State’s always had talent. …

Clemson’s value recently increased. It may have triggered suit against ACC.
Well we knew it was coming. Another school is sueing to try and get out of the ACC. This time it was Clemson. As many expected to happen, Clemson joins Florida State in filing a lawsuit against the ACC in a likely initial step to exiting the conference. We wrote briefly about it two weeks …

NC State completes magical, incredible, improbable run to the ACC Title.

Put Pittsburgh and TCU in Dayton
It’s such a good idea, I wish I had thought of it first. For some reason that escapes me, TCU keeps showing up in bracket projections while Pittsburgh looks significantly less secure. As I wrote below Pitt has several metrics working in their favor, yet the narrative continues. How can TCU be in and Pittsburgh …

Pittsburgh is an NCAA team… period, after beating Wake Forest.
Two NCAA Caliber teams entered, and one left with their NCAA chances intact. Pittsburgh beat Wake Forest Thursday 81-69. Wake Forest fell to 20-13 (11-9) NET 38 with the loss. They lost 4 of their last 6 games, and are just 1-8 against the Q1. Wake Forest is good enough to win a couple of …
