The worst thing about expanding the tournament to 96 teams is that it will automatically lead (within only a few years) to expanding the tournament again, to 128 teams: "Hey, why DO those 32 teams get a first round bye? They aren't THAT much better than the next 32, are they?" (Yes, they are. Which is why the tournament shouldn't have expanded to 64+1 in the first place.)

Exile, the expansion mess is harder to figure than a tax form. It will push the tournament forward, one seeds will play Saturday and then Tuesday, what garbage. Best guess is play-in rubbish will begin Thursday, in front of crowds of, oh, l,100.

TAB, where have you been, anyway, somebody said you switched your loyalty to the Big 12 Conference! Don't worry, we won't rub in TU's major sports tank jobs.

It seems obvious that to the TU pres, Wojo can do no wrong. It's 99.9 percent he's back next year. We like Wojo. But it's time to recruit some players isn't it, some scorers. Mich State's good showing has to help Wojo. Next year is the key year. This is a recording.

The one beautiful thing this final NCAA game did was eliminate ALL excuses!

But our school is too small! Wrong, some high schools are bigger than Butler.

But our academic standards are too high. Wrong, look at Duke, Butler, Mich State.

What wins? Great recruiting. Great coaching. A great coach.

Tulsan in Exile...TU's academics are just as good as the highest in the country. Its reputation has not had as long to develop as a lot of the higher echelon schools. TU trails only Duke/Princeton in the number of national scholarships won over the past 10 years (i.e. Goldwater, Truman, NSF, etc.) and has several programs that are in the top 5-10 in the nation.

Picker...agreed on the officiating. Let the players decide. For once, touches of the skin on Duke's precious players were not called fouls. The women's championship game was called much the same.

Pick, correct. In college basketball, schools with high academic standards can win. However, it's more difficult for those types of schools to be successful in football. In football, there are 85 scholarship players per team. In basketball, there are only 12 scholarship players per team. Therefore, not as much money is required to be spent on basketball.

The latest one and done potential casualty is the KU player, Henry.

People who plan on one and done usually have to stick to it, academics or whatever.

Henry wasn't even starting at KU late in the year, was he?

Didn't do himself or KU much good did he.

As long as the NBA and NCAA has that dumb rule that you must be 19 to enter into the NBA Draft, you'll continue to see one and done from these basketball players. If players wants to enter the NBA draft out of high school at the age of 17 or 18, they should have every right to do so.

like you picker you are the voice of reason at this crappy newspaper, im sorry you work there and your welcome. as a die hard duke fan im proud we and butler gave the world a great game (maybe not scoring wise but still)continue the good work and may we speak one day the pig king

all hail the pig king! good point on the ad it definitely has to come back to that

and what is a tulsa shock?
