Exactly right.

Dear NCAA, You recently reported that the new NET is more accurate. Why is this system more accurate? How much more accurate? Can you please provide specific examples? I'm asking for about 26 conferences. Thank you for your thoughtful response. Mark Adams

As usual, great news for the conferences with the most money.

Really soft move, especially when even Pitt fans don't like this.

And Idaho was the higher-seeded team, No. 3 in West. Just three years before tourney expanded to 64 teams.

Love these. Helmet next to team name should be a required part of any televised football game open to this day.

Even more instant replay in college basketball is a lousy idea, which was illuminated in March when there was no hoops at all. Column from yesterday: hoopville.com/2020/05/19/sti…

What a beautiful court. So much better than too much shading or XXXXXXXL logo at midcourt.

Nearly 6 months back, we ran a series Hoopville Team on 35 years of the NCAA tourney bubble. Then, COVID hit. We halted it at that time, but here is the final piece from that series that was to be posted in March, but we'll settle for September instead: hoopville.com/2020/09/01/bub…

From the czar of Hoopville yesterday:

Really enjoyed writing for Hoopville for the past seven years. Thank you to all who read the site, it was always appreciated. Humbly think we had a lot of good content, even if we kept it low-key.

I do have a new writing spot, as I'm now the small college columnist for Basketball Times. It's an honor to follow Chuck Mistovich & join the terrific writers in a great publication. Highly encourage anyone who enjoys CBB to read it, can't endorse the others' work in it enough.

Hoopville is still dark, but after writing a lot about history of NCAA tourney bubbles and selection, adding to the record with some analysis of this year's Selection Sunday. Tourney starts tonight but some thoughts on this year's picks: docs.google.com/document/d/1l1…

The true beauty of this, besides his amazing sense: in only two of the clips does Bird take a dribble.

Happy anniversary to Alaska’s greatest college basketball upset: UAA over Michigan in 1988 alaskasportsreport.com/2022/12/happy-…

Briefly got the writing bug again...the NCAA tourney starts tonight but a little bit of Selection Sunday analysis, on seedings, the Mountain West, BPI, Indiana State and more: docs.google.com/document/d/1KC…

And now your reminder that Drake would not have been in this NCAA Tournament field without winning the MVC Tournament.

Well I'm honored. Thought this was enjoyable too, check out Nick's work here, made some really good chicken salad out of that lackluster opening day schedule. Happy to support him in filling some of the massive hole there is in CBB media coverage.
