The selection committee appears to have gotten the top 10 teams in the tournament exactly right. That's how far you have to go down to get to Kentucky.
Jay Bilas says Kentucky was unprepared for Oakland's 3-point shooting and zone defense in its first-round NCAA tournament loss. The selection committee appears to have gotten the top 10 teams in the men's NCAA tournament exactly right. That's how far you have to go down the committee's seed list to find a team that didn't make it through the first weekend. All told, 13 of 16 squads on the top four lines of the bracket are still alive.
Allow me a word -- several, actually -- on the ACC. Fans of the conference consistently -- and correctly -- countered my season-long description of its decline by insisting the league would be just fine when it mattered most. And, once again, a conference ranking fifth, fifth, seventh and fifth since the pandemic has been more than fine in the NCAA tournament. An 8-1 record through the first weekend can only be commended.
Opening the transfer portal the morning after Selection Sunday wasn't the dumbest thing I saw last week. Put me in the same camp as Tom Crean and Fran Fraschilla. Declining an NIT bid on account of said portal is even dumber . Take a look at the bloated number of staff members on a high-major bench.
