We probably are going to get a worse version of the MWC from last years tourney this year. Last year they got 4 teams, we heard the same shit about how "deep" of a conference it was and then everyone besides San Diego State lost in the 1st round.

They are all basically piggy backing off each other to boost their NET Rankings, not a lot of quality OOC performance.

Exactly. I don't understand how people can't see through all of this. The MWC is a mid-major league. These teams are generally not national contenders and it's no different this season - in fact, I'm sure the top of the league is worse than last season. All most of these teams do is get a high rating by collectively pounding the daylights out of cake nonconference schedules and then coast on conference credibility - not much different than what UC is doing, but at least the Bearcats had a conference that made them look as mediocre as they are. I fail to see how having 6 MWC teams in the field instead of 3 is a positive in any way, shape or form.

March arrives and Nate Chokes folds like a lawn chair!

NO = Nate’s initials and represents the amount of defense his soft whiny team plays!

Oats is highly overrated as a coach. Poor leader of young men, and poor basketball strategy. Hard to see any outcome other than Bama ultimately being stifled by a strong defensive, halfcourt-oriented team in the second round or S16.

Interestingly, the Pac-12, which I've seen as a projected 2-bid league, is actually a stronger conference than the MWC per Kenpom ratings. Hello? Earth to Bracketologists & Selection Committee? Do you comprehend the pecking order here? The 7th-rated conference shouldn't be getting as many bids or more than the 2nd- and 3rd-best. Hopefully common sense instead of con artistry will prevail when actual adults that make these decisions pick this apart.

Hoosiers playing their way in? Good week with home win vs Wisconsin, at MD and now at Minn.

IU fans were wanting Dusty May’s (FAU) name on the dotted line 2 weeks ago. Woodson getting something with his bench and freshman Mbako is playing his way into the lottery.

Why did he commit there in the first place, if he didn’t want to play for Woodson?

All kinds of rumors about the real reason. Some saying Woodson never followed up with him after he committed, some saying the toxic fan base caught his eye.

Most likely Bill Self and Kansas ponied up a deal to steal him. We’ll see if that’s his next commitment.

Pac-12 is likely gonna be a bid stealer league, with only 2 projected at-large teams. Arizona just lost at USC in the final regular season game of the Pac-12. The odds that only Arizona (who looks quite beatable) or Washington St win the conference tourney are pretty slim.
