Oof. It's gonna be a long year for Cardinals fans. This is only Bellarmine's third season in D1.

I guess BC Athletics needed to proof they were incompetent someway, @HarleyQuinn and if the football team wasn't going to do it then basketball would.

Duke needed the refs to bail their behinds out to beat Boston College on Saturday. What a crock.

The Unprecedented Collapse of a College Basketball Powerhouse

Who’s to blame for this fiasco?

slate.com

They’re like post sanction SMU Footballs levels bad. Except it might be worse cause they didn’t get any major sanctions and still had good recruiting classes.

Perhaps karma for hiring scuzzbucket coaches and ADs?

Couldn't have turned out better, with Wake Forest being the final nail in the coffin. The fact that I can't pinpoint how many years too long its been since he should have retired is pretty telling.

So long to Syracuse being on the bubble every year despite being 14-13 heading into the ACC Tournament.

Maybe on the Mount Rushmore of unlikeable coaches. Good riddance

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

there is a decent to good chance that I am wildly overreacting to a beat down of a .500 team but man, if UNC goes on a run and ends up in the NCAA Tournament, it really kind of proves how pointless regular season college basketball is.

As a lover of ‘00s NBA benchwarmers, it delighted me to no end to see that Mark Madsen has coached Utah Valley to the final four of the NIT.

Morbidly curious to see the ratings for the men’s Final Four this year.

Florida Atlantic Vs San Diego State has to be the most random Final Four matchup of the last 50 years. Well, at least fans of mid majors are happy.

 

[Hawk 34]

Are you watching the games?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

They’d have to pay me to watch a Final Four involving UConn during WrestleMania weekend, brother.

As someone who doesn't have a favorite college team (went to a small school, still D 1 but mid major) I love this. CBS has to be shitting themselves though

Holy crap. As a Celtics fan, stuff like this always makes me think of Reggie Lewis. Hope it’s just a freak scare.
