 And the sports media loves to give the whiners a platform. Must make it a tournament of 96. What a joke.

Just think, if college football had a playoff or tournament system, there would actually be more teams (that didn't make it) whining about that too.

NCAA BB favors the power conferences. It's simple, just win the games you should and you already have an advantage over everybody else.

I forgot who said it, but if you're complaining about not being the last at-large team to make the tournament, you ain't no champion anyway. Overall, it's hard to get too pissed at an outsider about not making a field of 64.

Same as all-star teams.  They always talk about expanding rosters so players don't feel slighted.  Players on the fringe will still feel slighted.  "Hey I batted .250 and had 4 home runs.  That guy hit .247 and has 3 home runs.  Why is he an all star instead of me?"

Best draw we could have gotten.
Close to home, a team with a style we can beat, all should add up to a victory.

Status: offline 		Sportline.com says Tubby "could be" headed to Auburn:

http://dennis-dodd.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6270202/20528708?tag=comBlogEntryListCnt;entry20528708

Auburn is "close to hiring" Tubby Smith as its new basketball coach, a source that I trust told me Thursday night.

It could be nothing, but it is known that the school might be looking for an African-American coach. And Tubby getting back to the SEC would make sense. It's not the pressure cooker of Kentucky. It's a new building and a lot of rebuilding with the Tigers.

Officiating is interesting.S ometimes they can almost knock each other over , other times a hand check is a foul.

Hoffarber can't hit squat right now.

Too much perimeter bricking.
