Postseason Hoops 2025

[Cazzie22]

Nice win by Drake.  Another SEC team goes down.  Omaha annoyed St John’s for about 12 minutes.

Shooters.  Creighton and Louisville were neck and neck the whole game outside of a 75 second span in the first half where Creighton made four threes in a row. That's the difference.

My Kingdom for shooters.

Can anyone explain Texas tech’s continued bball success?

Mcneese has come a long way since the golden window tournament.

When is the committee going to learn that the Mountain West just isn’t good in March. Seems like they flop every stinking year.

Buddy Holly?

The B1G has looked solid today. If Michigan pulls this out, which they should, the B1G would be undefeated with two blowouts and a trendy upset pick shattered.

 

That’s with Maryland and Michigan St still to play too.

Two pretty damn good basketball coaches with one not-so-great one in between the two.

But NIL/your payroll is the only thing that matters? Surely Texas Tech doesn't outspend us. And Lubbock is horrible.

I'm pretty sure they probably do.  A lot more even.

They absolutely have more NIL money than us.

Oil money, or what? 

University of Nebraska has almost double the operating Athletic budget than Texas Tech, fwiw. Not that that is a 1:1 comparison, but it says something.

Plenty of talent in Texas plus their recent success at the National level.  Good coaching, great arena and fan support.

Texas Tech NIL collective founder Cody Campbell sells company for $4.1 billion. He will spend whatever it takes. He spent a million dollars for a softball player.

I'm with you on the coaching matters matter. But TTech has boat loads of money. I'd bet top 10-15 budget in the country. 

[Norm Peterson]

Don't know about the rest of you, but this is probably the most painful NCAA tourney to watch that we didn't play in.

 

By the end of the day, it appears very likely that 4 teams we beat during the regular season will advance to the round of 32.

 

And three more teams that were one-score losses also look to advance.

 

Damn, this one hurts.
