Colorado State looked like they wanted to be there and were hungry to advance in the tourney…  Mizzou, not so much.  I haven’t given up on Haith yet, but I think he needs to be on the hot seat. 
 
Good luck to UF in the tourney!

The reality of recruiting and the players needed to win with that system tell you it’s a pipe dream. He came closest with the elite 8 run with MU but they needed at least one, probably 2 more to have made the final four (although UConn was glad to come out the winner) and nothing that MA has done indicates that recruiting void of 5* recruits with size, length and conditioning is on the horizon ala UK. Simply, that’s not what those one and dones are inetrested in.

You just mentioned one loss for MTSU and one loss for MWC.  I believe I pointed to the SEC losing 3 out of its 4 games played.

Once again you have proven that anybody can write anything to support their argument. How about those blue raiders? They lost so they didn’t deserve to get in right? How about New Mexico? Didn’t we have to hear about how awesome that conference was this year? Oh, but wait the only time it proves worthiness in basketball is when the SEC loses. Typical!!!
