I'd love to see Porter Moser in the Big East, one way or another. Their D is legit.

The results speak for themselves, but Moser brings with him the slowest offensive pace in ncaa hoops. Just saying. Not sure how easy it will be to recruit elite athletes to that system.

Don't need "elite" athletes. But you can get some 4 and 5 star, top 100 type players to play in a system like this. Wisconsin and UVA have had no problem recruiting and winning with a similar style. Just get the "right" guys to fit the system.

If Mac happens to leave, Moser is the first guy I'd want CU to call.

Moser and Devries are not bad options for Creighton. Both with Creighton ties...

Jay Wright and Tony Bennett seems to get the pieces they need.

The B1G is deep, there's no doubt about that and maybe they deserved 9 bids. But it's obvious they don't have any top 10 teams (I think Michigan was and maybe still is).

And seriously, stop calling this a fairy tale. This isn't a fluke result. Loyola beats Illionois 7 out of 10 times.

Wisconsin's A game is probably below Baylor's D game.

Big Ten has losses for both a 1&2 seed already. We were told the conference was the greatest of all time and they can’t win games they are supposed to beat.

Here's a bet - which group will the NCAA champ come from:
1) Gonzaga or Baylor
2) Big Ten
3) The Field

Feel like you can remove #2. Baylor sure looks good though.
