Growing up, the three major tourneys were Maui, Great Alaskan Shootout and Preseason NIT.  Alaska is gone.  NIT is a lower tier 4 team tourney.  I'm rooting for Maui, but this year's field has me questioning how much longer it can sustain.

The refs in this tourney are brutal.  Looking forward to Big Ten play to get away from the ticky tack fouls.

Yeah this is some weird ass reffing. Florida mauling everyone on the perimeter, everything inside is a touch foul.

Raftery is still great, but whoever is doing the PBP with him is awful

Well,  basketball has no conference affiliations for refs, like football does.

The MSU game was reffed at par, well done in the first half, and then both teams had 5 fouls at the first TV timeout in the second, to ensure fans got to watch plenty of FTs in the second half

Wow

Penny coaching Memphis, with Larry Brown and Rasheed Wallace as assistants is a fever dream

Badgers beat A&M, Houston, St Mary’s to win the Vegas edition of Maui.

Think this young as hell team might just be tournament bound when it’s all said and done.

Johnny Davis is really good and will only get better with time. But, they need him on the court to win. See Providence game.

Purdue entered the week #3, behind the Zags and UCLA.

Purdue rolled over [hapless] Omaha, UCLA lost to Gonzaga, and Gonzaga lost too.

So with the two teams ahead of Purdue losing, I want everyone to say hello to your new #1 ranked basketball team in the NCAA...

Dook!

It's a shame it's not Purdue-Duke in the Challenge.  Really missed an opportunity there.  Instead we get Purdue vs. unranked Florida State?  Why?

Yeah and also OSU v. Duke, which is set for a 9:30 tip. Nothing like staying up late to watch my team get drilled.
