If anyone's searching to watch basketball - on espn+ - a former member is playing Rice in the "Last Place Game" of the AAC Tournament.

A TCU loss would eliminate them, but they are playing Oklahoma. A win by TCU probably knocks Oklahoma out.

SWAC Commissioner Charles McLelland, who’s head of the selection committee, was asked about Indiana State today and mentioned that he’s aware Jayson Kent missed the SIU game and most of the Illinois St game. Him pointing that out bodes well for the Sycamores.

Conversely, in 2017, I remember the committee chair (Michigan St AD IIRC) being asked about Illinois St during selection week and him saying “if you didn’t have many opportunities, what matters is what you did with them when you got them”. Illinois St lost by 20 and 40 to Wichita that year, so that comment was foretelling that they were out.

If you go to 49 minutes in, Schertz gives a 20-minute interview where he just rips off numbers like a mad man. Super compelling to listen to.

I am 100% certain that South Florida will not lose Thursday.

Villanova should've lost last night. That would have been nice. Now they've got the opportunity to beat a shorthanded Marquette team and maybe move to the other side of the bubble.

Yeah, up 57-55 and 19 seconds left in the game with possession of the ball and got a Shot Clock violation.
Nova gets a three to go up 58-57 with ten seconds left. DePaul turns it over with 3 seconds left without taking a shot.
