I believe my views on college basketball team quality are on the inclusive side for the tournament. IMO, there are usually about 60-70 pretty good college basketball teams every year. There are no viable, nationally competitive teams past the top-100. Including the 15- and 16-seed minnows already lowers the quality of teams in the tournament. Inclusion of all of these teams is idiotic.

SKULL SESSION: BIG TEN VOTE COULD COME WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, JOEY BOSA SPITS A LITTLE TRASH TALK AT JOE BURROW, AND THE NCAA TOURNAMENT ISN'T EXPANDING
FALSE ALARM! The ACC coaches may think a 300+ team NCAA Tournament sounds like a killer idea, but it would seem that the NCAA ain't exactly sold.
So turns out, everyone's online meltdown was just a bit premature. Who would have thought?!
Personally, I was fine with the proposal. Given how enormously shitty this year has been, there are worse things in life than somebody trying to give me five times as many NCAA Tournament games.

On the same day the Big Ten approved an Oct. 23-24 start for football, the NCAA's Division I Council approved a Nov. 25 national start for college basketball season, according to multiple reports.

Dude's motto was "play angry" - and that is 100% true.
I heard he took the motto too far, and wanted to always be angry. Marshall also asked his team to pray angry. Yes, a lot of usage of the Lord's name in vain. For example, they would shout exclamatory prayers such as "God damn our opponents today" and "Jesus Christ deliver us a f-ing win" before each game.
But seriously, this guy should be fired yesterday. There is no excuse to punch your players. The only reason he still has a job is nobody really cares about Wichita State and so the media doesn't give the story continued attention. In Wichita,, the scrutiny basically stops after 24-48 hours.

Penn State Coach Pat Chambers Resigns After Investigation
Penn State's Pat Chambers has resigned following an internal investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct by the Nittany Lions' basketball coach.
Penn State’s Pat Chambers has resigned following an internal investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct by the Nittany Lions’ basketball coach.
Chambers, 49, had been at the school for nine years and was coming off the team’s best season under his directions.
Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour said in a statement that assistant coach Jim Ferry was being elevated to interim coach for the coming season. NCAA basketball season starts Nov. 25.
Chambers was in the middle of a four-year contract with Penn State that runs through 2021-22 season. He was 148-150 with Penn State, including an NIT championship in 2018.
Penn State finished 21-10 record last season and was likely to earn an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 2011 before the postseason was canceled because of the pandemic.
Earlier this year, former Penn State player Rasir Bolton, now at Iowa State, made allegations of inappropriate conduct by Chambers to ESPN's “The Undefeated.”
Bolton said during a particularly difficult stretch for the team in January 2019, Chambers told him: “I want to loosen the noose that’s around your neck.”
Chambers apologized for the comment.
Penn State said in its statement new allegations surfaced shortly after the story and a review was conducted jointly by Penn State’s Affirmative Action and Athletics Integrity offices.

Kevin Warren is an ass
What I do not understand is that South Dakota is one of the states that if you are from Ohio upon return you must quarantined for 14 days supposedly. I wonder how they're going to work that. I also doubt if Utah is the last team to pull out of that tournament.

College basketball rankings: Gonzaga ranked No. 1 in preseason AP Top 25 poll ahead of No. 2 Baylor
23. Ohio State
Entire article: https://www.cbssports.com/college-b...reseason-ap-top-25-poll-ahead-of-no-2-baylor/
B1G Teams:
5. Iowa
7. Wisconsin
8. Illinois
13. MSU
24. Rutgers
25. TTUN
The B1G leads the country with the most amount of teams ranked n the AP Top 25 with 7.
Just sayin': Dropped to #23, I guess the good news is that they are still in the top 25. However, with basketball polls it doesn't make any difference where you start, the only important poll is where you finish.

NCAA in talks to hold entire men's basketball tournament in Indianapolis
Due to challenges associated with the coronavirus pandemic, the entire 2021 NCAA men's basketball tournament will be played in one location, the NCAA announced Monday.
The NCAA said it is in talks with Indianapolis and the surrounding metro area to be that location.
The decision comes after NCAA officials met to consider a variety of contingency plans. The move means that 13 sites across the country will no longer host a preliminary round of the NCAA tournament.
"My committee colleagues and I did not come lightly to the difficult decision to relocate the preliminary rounds of the 2021 tournament, as we understand the disappointment 13 communities will feel to miss out on being part of March Madness next year," said Mitch Barnhart, chair of the Division I Men's Basketball Committee and University of Kentucky athletic director, in the announcement. "With the University of Kentucky slated to host first- and second-round games in March, this is something that directly impacts our school and community, so we certainly share in their regret. The committee and staff deeply appreciate the efforts of all the host institutions and conferences, and we look forward to bringing the tournament back to the impacted sites in future years."
The NCAA's announcement said that sending teams across the country could create logistical challenges while also posing a risk of spreading COVID-19. It has been clear in recent months that the NCAA would do whatever it felt necessary to host the NCAA tournament. Last year's cancellation cost the NCAA $375 million.
