UC San Diego definitely having an NCAAT at large worthy season. UC Irvine a little shaky on metrics but if those two meet for the Big West tourney championship as expected and the latter prevails, no way UCSD can be left out of the Big Dance.
No surprise here.
clt hopes shehadi gets one of our games
Sad news out of Louisville:

Bridgeman - a 2x Missouri Valley POY - led Louisville to 1975 NCAA title game, where the Cardinals fell by a point to UCLA. A first round draft pick, played a dozen years in the NBA. Very successful businessman after retiring as a hoopster.
Among his high school teammates in Chicago was Tim Stoddard. Us old timers will remember the latter not only for his role on the 1974 NC State basketball team but his MLB career as a pitcher as well. One of only two athletes to win an NCAA basketball championship and a World Series ring.
UNC by the Sea makes the Big Dance as Coastal champs!
FWIW, we recruited Ross:
I hope this helps him get a strong look by the NBA.
At the very least he’s gonna have a career somewhere.
Zags get revenge when it counts the most. Saint Mary’s will be dancing as well.
Horizon champs!
Remember when Robbie Hummel was coming here rumor spread like wild fire.
We really need a crying emoji ![]()
The city of Wilmington supports the hell out of them, it’s crazy. Imagine that, a city that supports the local team.
“NIL? We don’t need no stinking NIL!” ![]()
And, of course, us old timers are familiar with SFU.
If I remember correctly, we played them up there in a snow storm the year we went to the Final Four in 1977 … and lost! Coach Lee Rose was so mad, he took a different plane back to Charlotte separate from the team. Does that sound about right?
Yep plus Maxwell was thrown out of the game though I don’t recall why.
Good afternoon for Meck hoops!
