I have no insight. I am just an alum and a fan who enjoys basketball. I will say that until a MAC team wins consistently 1 or 2 games in the tournament, I don’t believe the conference will be taken seriously. I have friends who point to the one and done MAC tournament teams and the often-lopsided losses as prove the conference is second rate. Having said that, my wife and I are season ticket holders for many years and love attending games and following the team. Coach Groce and his staff are outstanding! I hope he stays for many more years.

Unlike the Cincinnati job, this one makes a lot of sense for a younger version of John Groce. Today, I just don’t think so. I’m picturing the bear-hug embrace between Groce and Wentz after the MAC Tourney win. Add to that Travis is in the conference and the MAC has shown growth. I think he stays put. Maybe it’s my Zippy colored glasses.

I can't consider a Big 10 team a Cinderella.

No no, this is fair. I was using "NIL" as something of an overarching statement.

I do think getting two teams in helps, even if just a little.

Nored's name has been HOT for that job. Played for Brad Stevens at Butler.

I still think it's possible for mid-majors to win, personally.

We should have also learned that a 20 year old's social media commitment means very little.

I actually checked this earlier. The "Back to Work" posts went up Sunday evening following their tournament loss. I imagine they'll get back from Florida, touch base with all of the players, then we start hearing things.

If you watch him it's obvious that defense wasn't stressed in Europe. He has some offensive skills but he needs to put on some muscle and focus on his defense in the off-season.

I have the hottest of takes but we win if that goes in. We just got them in foul trouble and one big fouled out. If we cut it to one instead of missing and going down 7 immediately, we can pound inside more and take advantage of the foul trouble. Instead we're chasing and needing 3s. We had our chances yesterday

I think Cody Head will help at guard and I have it on good authority that he will be back.

I had a chance to talk to the Mahaffeys' mom before the PCCC tournament game. She and the whole family were there in UA/Mahaffey gear. I told her how much we enjoyed having her kids and what a fine job they did in raising them. I spoke to both of them at the Tip-off Reception and could not have been more impressed. She indicated they couldn't be happier. Here's hoping that carries over to transfer "silly season."
