Sort of a wild weekend that all 25 teams listed actually have games. Normally at least a few byes in there. With quite a few big games in the mix for sure.

Oh yeah. And just going to get better, 4 weeks from today is QF Thursday at the Garden.

Big loss for New Mexico tonight. Going to be right on that cutline come Monday I think.

Crazy that MWC could end up with 4 or 5 bids, or just 1 or 2. Let's see if Nevada makes it even more interesting.

should note #32 West Virginia just lost to Texas by 34. So they'll be on here on Monday. Probably say goodbye to Pittsburgh(not on the end you'd have expected).

Seton Hall definitely an opening tonight for sure.

I've been wondering if a 96-team NCAA tourney is good for the Big East... i'm leaning towards support for it.

- 2 rounds get tourney down to 64 teams...
- 16 Tues games are seeds 65 vs 96.
- 16 Wed games are seeds 49 thru 80.
- 64 team tourney begins on the regular Thursday.
- Auto-bid teams get bye to Thursday games.

Just back of napkin here...

So really, non-auto teams 49 thru 64 have a Wednesday play-in game vs the 16 survivors of Tuesdays games.

- The new additional teams, seeds 65 thru 96, would need to survive 2 games in 2 days... their penalty for being seeded so high.

- the America East and WAC and SWAC winners would have the bye til Thursday.

- Big East would get 7 or 8 teams in each year.

Before dismissing this, chew on it a bit.

I may start a new thread on this.

Clemson's spot has probably opened up as well. They
