Adding Steve Masiello to the watch list. Head coach of Manhattan who were even with Louisville until Luke Hancock pulled a Luke Hancock. Masiello is actually a Pitino disciple, having played for him at Kentucky then becoming an assistant for 6 years at Louisville. He's only been a head coach for three years but has two 20+ win seasons.

Pitino's coaching tree is impressive, and much better than Coach K's

I'm kinda surprised that people are shocked with the upsets that keep coming - I'm not saying I predicted them, but at this point college basketball has more parity than ever before.

Plus, there's not one team that is clearly head & shoulders above anyone. Picking a national champ this year is just a crap shoot. Too much is made about the prestige of conference strength now, as evidenced by ACC teams underwhelming so far. Think Coach K regrets his comments about NC State prior to Selection Sunday now?

I'm a rather big fan of referring to them as "An Ohio State University." Really subtle, yet it pisses them off so much.

Duke played for the ACC Championship and lost. Duke then proceeded to play a close game in the postseason, but ultimately lost.

I guess we're in Bizarro World, because I'm talking about both football and basketball at the same time.

That type of in state tournament would be amazing. We have a lot of great D1 schools in state. We might be closer to NC schools but the majority of VT students are in state kids. There's a lot of rivalry between schools already, adding basketball would be too much fun.

Yah, this is a clear example of horrible seeding by the committee.

Are you telling me that a 5th place A10 team should be seeded 5 places ahead of the 4th place SEC team? (An SEC team that played 3 of the 4 #1 seeds a total of 5 times)

I had him this semester for Media Institutions, and although he taught WAAAY old fashioned, I still really enjoyed just listening to what he had to say. He had so many stories and jokes and they were just so fun to listen to. We had a new teacher come in about three weeks ago when he first became sick and I was so bummed. Probably one of my favorite professors I've had in my few years at school.

My all-time favorite memory of him will be when he said "Why does Miley Cyrus enjoy to be a slut goddess so much." Slut goddess instantly became one of my favorite terms.

Wow Kellogg and UMass laying an egg right now against Tennessee down 41-22. So far we have had a 9, a 10, an 11, two 12s, and a 14 win games. Tennessee would be the second 11 to win. I am officially #teamchaos

We've had 5 guys eliminated, 2 guys in contention for A-A status (need one more win each) and 2 guys assured of no worse than 6th place. All-Americans are those who place 8th or higher at the NCAA tournament.

don't get me wrong...I'm not complaining, just observing. I'm not huge on 'conference pride' in any sport. I root for the Hokies to do well against anyone and everyone...outside of that I don't really care about any of the other teams in the conference. I don't root for other ACC teams just because they're in the ACC.
