Houston has now finished second in the Kenpom ratings four straight years. Get your 2026 runners-up bets in now while you still can
We entered the Final Four with 4 awesome teams and the potential for two incredible games.

They did not disappoint!

I wrote about Houston’s emotions, Walter Clayton Jr.’s incredible shot making, two sick dunks, and much more

Best Final Four ever? Maybe.
The four No. 1 seeds faced off Saturday in two matchups of all-time great teams. The games lived up to the hype with Houston's amazing comeback vs. Duke, and Walter Clayton Jr's stellar performance vs...

Yup, and I think this is actually a terrible PR thing, since very few people have positive emotional ties to a hospital system. Everybody hates American health care!
Arguably Hospital systems are the most visibility arm of Public universities other than athletics, at least in Michigan. Michigan Health is the largest and best network in the state, and its funding is likely at risk.

Hearing from multiple industry people I trust that several D1 schools are having SERIOUS internals talks about reclassifying out of D1 before July/House. Mostly but not exclusively in the northeast. I’d be a little surprised if nobody ends up doing it.

And we have Kyler Filewich underhand FTs!
The SoCon title game is everyone I want from college hoops: shot-making, momentum swings and no ridiculous time stops.
They don’t embed, so it’s not as appealing aesthetically
Hello new followers (and thanks to the Twitter/X outage).

All-Americans, POY and autobids

Elsewhere ... VCU wins at Duquesne to clinch a share of the Atlantic 10 regular season title and the No. 1 seed in next week's tournament in D.C.

That locks George Mason into the No. 2 seed with two games remaining.

Instant classic brewing at Clune Arena where 1-15 Fresno State and 0-15 Air Force are going to overtime. It's the worst combined record for a conference game this late in the season since 0-16 Buffalo played 1-15 Northern Illinois in 1999.

Michigan is 9-1 in Big Ten games decided by four points or less.
You probably saw the Big 12 craziness and the Vols and Hawgs making statements, but there was a lot more WTF moments from this weekend.

My fave? SDSU dropped a 20-0 run on Wyoming - only to have Wyo made 8 FTs in 2.8 seconds!

That was a bonkers hoops weekend
It'd be one thing if it was just 11 ranked teams that lost. But the mix of blown leads, ejections and lack of key players only added to the drama. Oh, and John Calipari won in his return to Kentucky. ...
