Another firing of a coach brings further proof to the, “life comes at you fast” cliche Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

-Remember 2 years ago when 16-seed FDU pulled the massive upset and beat 1-seed Purdue? The head coach of that FDU team was Tobin Anderson, who then went on to Iona to replace Rick Pitino who had left for St. John’s

-2 years later, Anderson is out of a job---he was fired by Iona after a 33-33 record through 2 seasons with the Gaels

Our focus is rightfully so on the NCAA Tournament, but there was a massive mistake in the NIT/CBI with a team getting an invite to both tournaments / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

-UC-Riverside had their best season as a D1 program in 24 years this year—in fact, they’ve never played in the postseason before---and this year they were invited to both the NIT and CBI—and apparently, at least briefly, accidentally accepted both bids

-They originally accepted the CBI bid because they didn’t think the NIT was a possibility and had no communication with the NIT prior to being selected---so after backing out of the CBI to then go with the NIT instead, South Alabama was then informed that their NIT invite was REVOKED

Lee Sterling (Paramount Sports) Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

-Auburn is the No. 1 overall seed in the bracket…do they have the easiest draw of the 1-seeds to get to the Final Four, though?

-The SEC got a record 14 teams into the NCAA Tournament this year…do you expect the conference to perform well and prove their dominance this year?

-What are some possible Cinderellas and big first round upsets?

What’s a more successful season in college basketball: a high seed who loses early in the NCAA Tournament or a low seed who goes further? Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

-At Nebraska we are desperate to be able to have this conversation to chat about what is a ‘better’ season of those options, but no Tourney wins allow that conversation to even happen

-So, let’s ask this: if a 2-seed team (say, Tennessee) were to lose to 15-seed Wofford, but a team that was Last Four In (ex. Texas) were to go from an 11-seed to the Sweet 16 or beyond…who had the better season? The length of the regular season is so much longer than a football season (in terms of games played)…so how much does that mean compared to Tourney success?
