    Two shameless plugs: A cool read from @TriumphBooks and a silent version of me from @BobbleheadHall. One is actual size... 🏀🏀

    Only one team in the NET era has ever gotten an at-large bid with just a single Quad 1 win. Two games later, North Carolina still has only one Q1 win.
    Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added context
    Xavier only had 1 quad win this year. So UNC is not the only team. ncaa.com/rankings/baske…

    Old enough to remember when the Sunday games ended around 7p ET so the “student athletes” could get back for class to start the week. Now the Sunday games end on Monday.

    Maybe they weren’t seeded correctly... 😉

    Things I never thought I’d see in my lifetime: Mountain West with more bids than ACC.

    ATLANTA (1120p ET)--Cassius Winston is named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2020 @FinalFour. @MSU_Basketball ends a two-decade championship drought for the @B1GMBBall. The season ends where it began, the Michigan State Spartans as No. 1. #TwitterTourney2020

    It’s generally unfair to judge the Committee or a team on a single game after the fact, but UVa was a poor choice then and now. I would have taken Indiana State or one of the Big East bubble teams. Right or wrong, Pitt never had a shot with that schedule.

    UVA isn’t exactly making the Selection Committee look great right now. Seton Hall, Indiana State, Pitt, Saint John’s, and a handful of others are probably watching this and saying ‘told you so.’

    ATLANTA (1115p ET)--Another three from Winston and @MSU_Basketball is seemingly in control, 66-58, with 1:24 remaining. Five straight from Forrest brings @FSUHoops within 66-63, but a pair of free throws from Winston sets the final score, 68-63. Sparty is your 2020 NCAA champion.
