2025-2026 College Basketball General Discussion

Since we are pretty much firmly in now I really hope that Saint Louis/VCU don't win the A10 tourney, Utah State doesn't win the MWC tourney, and Miami OH doesn't win the MAC tourney. Give me all of the bid steals to push teams like Auburn completely out.

I might barf if Auburn backs in at barely above .500 because everyone else keeps losing.

Seems like the basketball Gods might be setting this up for a Miami OH vs Auburn in Dayton first four game with both losing today.

No at large bid has ever gone to a 16 loss team (Auburn 17-16)
No at large bid has ever gone to a team with a SOS below 250 (Miami OH SOS 364)

I don't think Auburn is getting in at 17-16 if they woulda beaten Tennessee they woulda had a great chance but I think they are cooked

The Big 12 is utilizing an experimental court surface for their conference tournament. It's some sort of glass surface. It lights up the 3-point arc when someone hits a 3, and lights up the interior of the 3-point arc with a broken glass image when someone makes a dunk. They also are able to put graphics of each team on the court and switch them up depending on the matchups & of course use the surface for advertising images. It seems slightly more slippery than normal hardwood - a Texas Tech player slipped and got hurt after his foot slid when trying to cut for a pass.

The effects are underwhelming. Big 12 bball is fun, though. This Houston/BYU game is entertaining.
