Bratzooka 2025!

I was never fries with BBQ guy but Pappy's sweet potato fries changed that for me. They are phenomenal.

Sincere playing in his second NCAA tourney game against Purdue, he has a couple nice baskets early.

Not sure of any entry fees, but the CBC covers the cost of flights, local transportation, hotels, per diem and practice time for all the teams and players. The CBC also has cash prize packages to be split among players who reach their Final 4 ($50k per team), Championship Game ($100k per team) and Overall Champion ($300k). So the top finishing teams players all split a half million dollars.

Average NET for NIT teams is 110. There are more high ranked NET & Pomeroy teams in the CBC. Top 8 teams in each tournament... Boise State, Cincinnati, Villanova, Nebraska, USC, UCF, Utah, Arizona State SMU, Santa Clara, UC Irvine, San Francisco, North Texas, Dayton, St, Joseph's, Bradley

If the players did vote on this, I don't believe my opinion would matter to them, but that still doesn't change the fact that they chose to play lesser competition and in my opinion that is disappointing.

I never mentioned me being excited, you may have my post confused with someone else's. I'm not excited about any college basketball tournament except the big one. I'm saying if SLU wanted to play in a post-season consolation tournament, they should not have turned down the opportunity to play in a tougher field and chose the lesser field to play in.

Not great, but as a consolation tournament, the CBC field is definitely not as pathetic as the NIT field. SLU should have wanted to play in the better field with a chance to make a run and beat better competition. CBC has more high Pomeroy and NET ranked teams in it, and looking at the top 12 teams in each tournament, CBC is clearly the tougher bracket.

I completely disagree, I'd much rather be in GW's spot in the CBC, than where they ended up in the NIT. The CBC has a more talented field that I'd like the chance of making a run in. Terrible choice by Schertz and whoever else has a say so in this.

HULU

The SEC is stacked and nearly every game is against a ranked team, OU is 3-6 in games against ranked teams, OU's next 5 games are against ranked teams, where they realistically could win 3 of the 5, finishing 6-8 vs ranked teams. This is OU's first year in the SEC, I think it's crazy they would boot Porter after a year in the NCAA's toughest basketball conference, knocking off several ranked teams as an unranked opponent. They would be dumb not to give him a couple years to recruit and coach in this conference and see what happens. Maybe my vision is cloudy with SLU being 0-15 vs ranked opponents since 2013.... has me thinking a 6-8 record vs ranked opponents in their first season in the NCAA's toughest conference isn't that bad when it is.

After a made basket, yes they can run the baseline and jump releasing the ball before falling inbounds

https://official.nba.com/rule-no-10-violations-and-penalties/ The rule is over the line, onto the court, line is considered out of bounds. Some basketball courts actually have 3-6+ foot out of bounds painted areas surrounding the court, meaning the inbounding player would have to stand 3-6+ foot off the court when inbounding, if the rule was not the way it is.

It was his long term plan when he left

Coincidentally, Hoosier Hammer is also my "go to" when my life partner greets me with the Downward Donkey.
