Sometimes teams have a bad game or get blitzed, so I don’t think you can judge anything from one game. But Georgia was kind of like NC State just in a better league. The OOC wasn’t good at all - but playing in the SEC gave them a million games against other tourney or at least bubble teams, and they have 5 wins versus others in the NCAA field. They basically get the treatment a BE team with a similar profile would get in the past because the SEC has depth and strength that the BE clearly does not right now.
And last year it was UNC with over a dozen Q1 chances ended up with only one Q1 win with none at one point close to section Sunday. In 2024 it was that stupid UVA team that could barely score 40 pts a game getting in.

And how was VCU the first team out if they had not won the A10 tournament this year?

Because they value VCU's league even less than the Big East right now.

The media will not be responsible journalists if they don't ask sendek why not give foul on floor end of reg

Remember kids, parents and grandparents always foul on floor up 3
Charles Barkley is with you and Dan on this. He did add that since there was no time out called Santa Clara did not have a chance to foul. UK guy pulled that shot out of his *** though.

Don't care rooting for Nova especially cause I will never let go of MWC stealing our bid bid in 2024 for their supposedly 6-7 "power conference" teams that all choked in 2024 tournament outside SDSU.

Also even with my hate of St Johns, I won't root for them, just don't like them, but I get it for the overall good of the BE we need as much good perfromances as we can, so I can some pride and it's a silver lining if I guess they can make sweet 16.

Still would love Northern Iowa embarrassing them. Hopefully UCONN carry BE like always. They better.

Hopefully late games will be better than day games outside the Kentucky vs Santa Clara game.

Hope one upset happens. Hoping for Florida losing. IDK I really don't like them especially since I really wanted Houston last year.

Honestly Willard led teams past two years have been levels above on offense than at SH, but it seems defense has been god awful, but even then Maryland last year weren't bad defensively.

I do think Willard has finally had the resources to recruit better than with us. But Nova has looked very weak defensively.

F NOVA so bad. I actually would've rooted for Creoghton if they were still good. I might actually be more fine with Bought Johns. NOW the MWC fanboys going to act the golden boy conference is 10000 times better than BE bro.

I know we would've beat this team tbh. That joke Brennan missed like 10 easy bunnies. I know Hines and even Payne would protect the rim better.

I know we matched up bad against Nova, bit we showed we could mostly compete with UCONN and St Johns.

Honestly if this Cal Baptist team pulled that off, I would've had my faith they beat the Bought Johnnies. I feel Kansas can still beat the Bought mafia.

Honestly someone like Peterson and that Daniels kid is the type of scorer that can punish St Johnnies and stretch their defense off.
