He plays very hard and isn’t very good but is physical, made a very dumb decision and deserved to be kicked out. The reaction from Tech fans was lol stuff - what a tantrum. Him being tossed in any normal game wouldn’t been the end of it but Tech despises Texas because Texas lives in their head so we got this. Bad stuff all around.
So I read the article, but it fails to explain WHY the tournament needs to expand.
According to Big 12 commissioner he wants the best teams to compete for the championship.

It's a crock of shit. The Power 5 ADs want as many of their teams in the tournament as possible so they can keep as much of the money as they can. No one gives two shits about the 8th place teams from the SEC or Big Ten in the first round. The reason the event is so popular is because of the upsets on the first couple days.
Small nitpick but starting next year it will be the Power 4 ADs. And of course it's BS. And they aren't worrying about the 8th place teams making the field. They are worrying about 10&11 place teams making the field next year. The compromise is going less expansion but taking away some of the conferences auto bids.
Even with the reduction of power conference to 4, how is the 10th or 11th best team in an Power 4 considered one of "best teams"? ridiculous
Yeah which is going to make the tournament much less popular if they take away the mid and low major auto bids.
Not to mention Dartmouth men's basketball sucks perenially, hasn't won the Ivy since Dave Gavitt was a player there, never mind a coach.
So...according to this metric RJ Davis isn't a slam dunk for ACC POY let alone NCAA POY?
Pomeroy has said that his player rankings are not intended as a predictive device for any player of the year awards, but they're intended to provide a (mostly) objective measure, using his offensive and defensive stats, of the most valuable players in the sport each year. I don't think the relative rankings of 2 through 10 on the current list (copied below) predict anything about who should get player of the year awards in their respective conferences, but I don't think there's a legitimate argument for anyone other than Edey for national player of the year.
Caitlin Clark effect.
IIRC Pacific is relatively new to the WCC and is clearly out of their depth at the moment. They were always a Big West team I belive.
Eh I once watched Duke go up 34-2 against Michigan.
One kid on Pacific, Judson Martindale, is from Sudbury and played two years at Holy Cross. As bad as HC is, he ended up playing for someone worse. 17 losses in a row; 3 by over 40 points.
Not that it's really going to matter in the end... but based upon the NET rankings, Drake's at large chances are slim at best and James Madison's are even less. 30 W's and missing the tournament.
Are we talking about Cameron crazies? Always so well behaved. Nice that Coach K was there to see UNC beat Duke once again at Duke.
Exactly... and no mention of filipowski pulling a Greyson Allen... looked like the same move he used to trip the wake fan
They’re basically the Yankee fans from the infamous Nelson Cruz .gif with trust funds and polo shirts.
