The best part is he's standing off to the side in the studio all by himself as Rothstein and the other guys ask him a couple questions -- he then mumbles something about Utah State's NET ranking and they cut away from him quick.

I almost felt bad. Almost.
In all seriousness the network needs to have a talk with him. He is a TV personality and he is embarrassing himself and the network

I can watch any basketball game in the country with subs to youtubeTV and ESPN+

Except PAC12 games. What are they doing?
Don't get me started...I can literally watch pretty much any women's D1 game too (and many other fringe college sports), but I couldn't watch a key bubble game with Arizona State the other night.

Walton - "Whose the number 1 pick in rhe NFL draft... Addison? "

"I don't think so"

Walton - "what does Joe Lunardi say?"

"He's a college basketball analyst"

Walton - "well you listen to everything else he says....throw it down Ballo....PUMP IT UP! .... what's his name again?"

A totally unscientific estimation as of right now:

42.5% Dayton
42.5% Bye
15% Out
65% Dayton
30% Bye
5% Out

Good night overall for us in terms of making the field. Most likely Dayton field is Rutgers, Mississippi State, Arizona State, and one of the ACC teams. Of those four we're on the safe side should a bid theft happen.

It's possible the committee sends both flawed ACC teams to Dayton, or plays the high conference favoritism game and sticks Utah State there. But I think the Aggies played their way above us. Providence would be the other wild card.

If we're above the Dayton line I think it's just barely and Ohio State, UAB, or Vanderbilt winning would knock us down. I'm of the opinion Vanderbilt just needs one more. Not ready to cite the Texas A&M precedent as if it were handed down on stone tablets.

B1G - Ohio State (Purdue tomorrow in semifinals)

CUSA - UAB (final tomorrow vs FAU)

Been a great night so far:

Clemson done
Oregon done
Sj state done
ASU blown out - hope we are ahead in most brackets now
Memphis wins

Vandy wins - bad, but they still far enough out

USU losing would cap the night. Even if not, hard to be upset with what we got.

Since we winter down here in SC a ton of Clemson speculation in this AM's papers.

I don't know that they're in-----some good wins and some awful losses like most bubble teams from the major conferences.

Vanderbilt looks like a better option than Clemson

Yeah that's basically it. Should be a low stress Saturday as long as Purdue, A&M, and FAU handle business. I can't see Cincy or Tulane winning the AAC Title.

Is Boise definitely ahead of us?

Do conference tournament champions automatically avoid Dayton? For example, if OSU runs the table..
