***College Basketball Thread***

Dayton, Oklahoma, SMU, and Texas A&M are the First 4 out and also Covid-related replacements. This also puts the Flyers, Sooners, Mustangs, and Aggies are the Top 4 seeds for the NIT which will be fully announced tonight at 9pm ET on ESPNU.
 
Of the notable snubs is Texas A&M, who had a good run in the SEC Tournament before running out of fuel against Tennessee.

17-14 Michigan. This gives me hope that Duke will make the Women's Tournament when that's announced in an hour.

Does the same committee select both?

UK women on a heck of a streak right now, to include beating #1 South Carolina for the SEC tourney title.

Been so long since any of the women's teams have played. Their tourney should have started last week IMO.

No, they still had conference tournaments going, including today with Texas winning the Big 12. Most of the major tournaments on the women's side are played the 1st week while the men's are the 2nd week. Different committees, but usually with the same philosophies, plus not many mid-majors on the women's side are much of a threat. The SEC, ACC, Pac-12, Big Ten, and Big 12 should account for most of the teams. The Big East will probably get 2 even though it's still UConn and everyone else.

Yeah, there's a much bigger separation between the top teams and everyone else in the women's game than on the other side.

ESPN spent about 20 to 30 years making the women's game about UConn and for the most part, just UConn. The SEC is finally waking up and calling shenanigans on this.
 
ESPN has interrupted their coverage of Selection Sunday to discuss a football player deciding he's going to continue doing just that.

UMass is a threat. Kentucky went from not being an at-large to getting the automatic bid out of the SEC with a good seed. UConn gets nice treatment for playing in a fairly weak conference and winning it.
