Chaos at The Barn. John Blackwell saves the Badgers. Wisconsin 8 seed?

New Big Ten episode of the Unnamed Bracketology Podcast. @grahamdoeren.bsky.social and I discuss Michigan's slide to a 2 seed and a crowded Big Ten bubble with limited/no quality wins. (Please forgive the shaking camera in the beginning) www.youtube.com/watch?v=orr_...

🚨New episode of the Unnamed Bracketology Podcast🚨 @grahamdoeren.bsky.social and I discuss the ACC, including a pretty big divide on where NC State should be seeded. Will this be a 10-bid league in the end? Shouts to @ponsterm.bsky.social for the UNC question. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogcR...

ACC pod day. Got any questions for us On this 10-bid league?

First in-person episode in this season of the Unnamed Bracketology Podcast. @grahamdoeren.bsky.social and I discuss the most impactful results of the weekend, before agreeing on Michigan as a 2 seed, Kentucky and Indiana on the wrong side of the bubble and more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSMF...

Another day, another dollar and another episode of the Unnamed Bracketology Podcast. @grahamdoeren.bsky.social and I discuss the current state of SEC bracketology including guesses at Vanderbilt's final loss tally, UGA's legitimacy, Kentucky's bubble status and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYDk...

Big 12 episode of the Unnamed Bracketology Podcast. @grahamdoeren.bsky.social and I chat about the best league in the country and who from the Big 12 we believe makes the dance and is most likely to reach the Final Four. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qhT...

It’s whiteboard season. So many pretty colors. One among the fence.

🚨Mid-Week, Mid-Major Extravaganza episode of the Unnamed Bracketology Podcast🚨 @grahamdoeren.bsky.social and I discuss the select few Big East teams worth talking about, as well as some Boise State, George Mason and Gonzaga thoughts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc8B...

What a night of hoops. Five ranked teams suffered losses. And Auburn got hosed.

Bruins and Badgers. Big bubble implications. Loser leaves the chat.

New episode of the Unnamed Bracketology Podcast has dropped. It's Big Ten Tuesday. How do @grahamdoeren.bsky.social and I feel about this projected eight-bid league? Thoughts on Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana and Illinois after two months. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLa6...

BREAKING: The Unnamed Bracketology Podcast is back, it's better and it will be more frequent than ever. @grahamdoeren.bsky.social and I discussed the current state of the ACC in the first of many DAILY (except for Saturdays) bracketology videos coming your way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg2m...

Haven’t posted on here in ages, but I popped over to George Mason a couple days ago to write on their historic start to the season. Some words on this Cinderella reboot: bleacherreport.com/articles/253...

There were a lot of weird results today, per usual for any Saturday in college hoops. But I might need an entire damn 30 for 30 on Iowa State losing by 19 to Kansas State.

Updated rankings for college basketball's NPOY race, which certainly doesn't appear to be as much of a Cooper Flagg runaway situation as we've been told. bleacherreport.com/articles/101...

Seven. More. Weeks.

It was one hell of a day for teams on the bubble. Teams that I had seeded 35th-47th or among the first five out in my bracket earlier this week went a combined 13-1 today, the only loss being Wake Forest vs. Duke. Xavier and BYU also became a good bit more interesting today.

You know, it’s going to be funny if UNC ends up being the first team out, and the selection committee chair - UNC AD Bubba Cunningham - has to do media rounds, talking about decisions he neither agrees with nor was allowed to vote on.

Trying to keep up with all the hoops on a Saturday

Going to try to start posting on here more again. For now, here's a new episode of the Unnamed Bracketology Podcast, devoted entirely to mid-major leagues. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH9S...

I've neglected to post on here in a while, but here's an updated bracket projection for the 2025 men's NCAA tournament. Spoiler: SEC still looking damn strong. bleacherreport.com/articles/101...

Back on the unnamed bracketology podcast grind with @grahamdoeren.bsky.social discussing the current state of who's looking most likely to dance in three months' time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut7_...

Bennett Stirtz baby

Unless Stetson can come back from a 37-point halftime deficit against LSU, it's another perfect night for the SEC, improving to 152-20 overall.

Which sportsbook will be the first to offer this prop bet? GREATER TOTAL: SEC Teams in NCAA tournament ACC Teams missing NCAA tournament Legitimately might be 14 of each.

CHASE (HUNTER) BANK IS OPEN

The only team capable of beating the Florida Gators so far this season is its own school newspaper staff

New week. New bracket. Auburn, Tennessee, Iowa State and Kentucky on the 1 line. Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska and SMU newly in. Ohio State, LSU, Rhode Island and Loyola Chicago newly out. bleacherreport.com/articles/101...

So when mass shootings of average people and school children occurs, it's all "there's nothing we can do, these things just happen" but when a CEO gets shot, we need a special hotline, new safety protocols, and to lock up housewives over frustrated phone conversations. Got it.

To put these numbers in context, in the 2023-24 season, all teams combined went 426-1396 (.234) against Quad 1, and there were only 23 teams that posted a winning record against Quad 1. (18 if you remove the five mid-majors who went 1-0.) For an entire league to be sitting at .590 is insanity.

Records this season in Quad 1 games, by major conference: ACC: 11-43 (.204 winning %) Big Ten: 16-38 (.296) Big 12: 12-27 (.308) Big East: 8-17 (.320) SEC: 23-16 (.590)

Finishing up my bracket projection for this week and we're now up to 13 SEC teams in, plus two more among my first four out. Madness.

Continental US UConn remains undefeated

Was just thinking this day has felt a lot like the first Thursday of the NCAA tournament.

Liam McNeeley is a great player, but he also probably leads the nation in fouls committed on offensive rebound attempts.

High-class gesture by Benetti, Jackson and the Fox crew, shouting out Dick Vitale's cancer free diagnosis. "He transcends networks."

Gainey called gamey

You know how people put rubber ducks on Jeeps? I've been trying to come up with what we can start putting on those stupid Cybertrucks. And I think I've got it. Extra small condoms.

Arizona will need to go 11-9 in Big 12 play just to have like a 40% chance of dancing. Based on what they’ve shown thus far, good luck with that.

If it was a specific player who sparked that point of emphasis, it was definitely Marcus Smart. But they need to bring it back. It's getting irritatingly comical to watch a guy hit the deck before the contact even comes.

I miss the days when we made a concentrated effort to get flopping out of college basketball. It seems to be worse than ever now, and the refs keep buying it.

Have either Texas A&M or Purdue scored in half an hour?

Memphis winning at Clemson may well end up being the most important result of the day, given the complete lack of opportunities Memphis will have on its plate after nonconference play ends.

12 incredible hours of basketball on tap for today, and Memphis-Clemson bringing all of the heat out of the gates.

Great point. I'm 15 years out of college and 12 years away from potentially sending one to college, so I am at a peak "forgets that winter break is a thing" point in my life.

Of the 21 best games today according to KenPom Thrill Score, 13 are not true on-campus games. Ridiculous.

Fox News talking about Luigi Mangione, but make the footage Kyle Rittenhouse

Unless I miscounted, D1 teams are 363-2 against non-D1 teams this season, the lone losses coming from Oral Roberts vs. Rogers State and Alcorn State vs. Xavier LA. I ASSUME the Dons will win, but it'd be quite the outcome if they don't.
