Maybe the bye in the playoffs isn't an advantage.

Boise and ASU getting 3 and 4 seeds in the bracket was silly. Conference champions shouldn’t have auto byes. Just play them as the committee seeded. Boise was 9. ASU, somewhere behind them. Both would have been on the road in round 1 had this happened.

While I do not think 12-16 teams have legit shots at the championship, I can see this thing being expanded to 14 or 16 very soon, just for the money it’s generating.

Notes from my first trip to the "new" WRA

Agree, was in town and took my sister and her kids to the game. Thought the tickets would be cheap, but the prices actually started rising post Christmas. Going to the game, my sister said she saw about 3 other families she knew from Glenview there.

Maybe we are becoming the North Shore’s Big Ten team.

All in all impressed with the new WRA, though the concession line was pretty long and had to watch us build the lead while in line.

After that game I thought Brooks is the most likely Collins alum to replace him someday as head coach. Credit to Collins that his two most accomplished PGs, McIntosh and Buie, could vie for that honor.

True. I wonder if - at least in basketball - we could end up being a program that develops significant coaching talent. We have a few of the ingredients Brainy players, great coaches (CC coming into his own now for sure, and Lowery is a defensive savant), an identity that adjusts to the strengths of the players, and more recently gym rats who eat/breathe/sleeep basketball (something we never had in the past). Brooks will definitely be a coach someday - and I would think a very good one.

Dartmouth basketball players just gave up their effort to unionize because they think the National Labor Relations Board is about to turn hostile with the incoming president's appointees.

Given the National NLRB history and the likely nature of new appointees, they are probably making the right call.

All three of my daughters graduated from Arizona State so I'm rooting for them and that call was totally wrong it was clearly targeting and could have changed the game outcome. But of course there's so many plays in a game that could have changed the outcome

My niece and her fiance graduated from ASU, so I pull for the Sun Devils. The no-call on targeting was astonishing but the ASU DC's call on the Long Horns 4th & 13 was a travesty. That was the game, IMO. Also, if you look up "Baller" in the dictionary you'll see a picture of Skattebo. That youngster is a one man wrecking crew.

To determine targeting there usually are about half a dozen rules the announcers need to recite. Most times they don't get them right. So I look at targeting this way - don't get excited until the ref makes a call which usually is different than what everyone in the stadium thinks. Kind of like pass interference.

I couldn't decide whom to root for. I hate the SEC arrogance but that 34 year old coach for ASU is hard to like. Not as bad as Beamer last night, but still obnoxious. In the end I pulled for ASU so blame their lost on me. I have a very high batting average rooting for losers.
