I guess Paige Buckets is healthy.

And loved her take on the old win or go home adage. She won and she still gets to go home(FF is in Minneapolis, where she's from).

That was as good as any NCAA tourney game this year - men's or women's.

Congrats Huskies.

That took a couple years off my life.

So that makes it...

Men's NCAA Final 4: Nova
NIT Final 4: Xavier
Women's NCAA Final 4: UCONN
WNIT Final 4: Seton Hall

Coach K- 1202
VanDerveer- 1157
Auriemma- 1148

So that makes it...

Men's NCAA Final 4: Nova
NIT Final 4: Xavier
Women's NCAA Final 4: UCONN
WNIT Final 4: Seton Hall

That's pretty cool! So just looking ahead a bit...

3/29 Tuesday - Xavier vs. Bona
3/31 Thursday - Potential Xavier NIT championship game
3/31 Thursday - Seton Hall @ Middle Tenn
4/1 Friday - UCONN vs. Stanford
4/2 Saturday - Potential Seton Hall NIT championship game
4/2 Saturday - Villanova vs. Kansas
4/3 Sunday - Potential UCONN championship game
4/4 Monday - Potential Villanova championship game

So the ESPN deal with the NCAA for all the championships other than MBB expires after 2024.

Wonder if Fox would try to get some of that.

They're obviously no UConn, but I want to take a second to point out the current run the Seton Hall ladies are on. After a 3-6 start to Big East play, the Pirates have now won 15 of their last 17 games with the only to losses coming to Creighton and Villanova - two teams they also beat during this run. It would've been nice to see them in the NCAA's and I think they could have been a dangerous first round opponent for someone, but the NIT run has been fun to watch. Hopefully they can keep it going and do their part in the Big East claiming all 4 major postseason trophies.

Agreed. Hall finished very strong. The top 6 in the BE this year were all very high caliber. If we can just get the bottom 5 (oof Butler) to be decent, the league will be a force.
