    On That Note: Steal Away

    “You stole my heart and that’s what really hurts // “You stole my soul, and that’s a pain I can do without.” // “You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.”

    A&M seems hell-bent to play itself off the bubble.

    I interpreted @Clonehomer assessment about "bigger schools" to mean "more prominent/traditionally strong programs."

    Next, you're gonna tell us boosters will be allowed to legally fund players! :D

    Playoff Setup

    To clarify, for my purposes, although the top 4 champs get a bye, can the 5th champion be seeded anywhere? Or is it automatically a 5 seed?

    That “foul” call was atrocious. Putting it milldly.

    It's Houston's title to lose now. UH still has to play at Kansas. I don't like this at all.

    We have a 5+ foul difference, we have to hit FTs!

    ISU might lose this game, but golly-damn we aren't quitting, that's for sure.

    You lose the ball and it's a foul?

    That fake/stop by Milan was sweet.

    Houston fouled us 3 times on that transition.

    Houston is gonna outrebound us by 97.

    This is true ... 4/5 almost certainly is going to be Spokane, and maybe Salt Lake or Pittsburgh.

    ISU up to #6...

    I guess coming off a 15-15 season, it doesn't shock me being ignored, even if retrospectively it seems like a little higher expectation was warranted. 99-00 was odd because of course there was the Drake loss right off the bat, won a few, lost to then-#1 Cincy, then wins vs a lot of nobodies -...

    ISU up to #6...

    It's wild how the 99-00 team was ranked for fewer weeks than both of the previous two teams; and one fewer weeks than the '87-88 team (which got a 12 seed in the tournament). Also forgot ISU had a 3-decade AP poll drought from 57-58 to 87-88. Among other notable notables.

    Yes. If ISU wins B12 reg season, we're going to Omaha (barring some combination of unlikely factors).

    More "bracket geekery" than anything. AAC is mildly intriguing. Most likely a one-bid league for at-large, but South Florida currently leads standings, defeated FAU today, would be auto-bid if this were Selection Sunday. FAU so far is semi-safe for at-large, but seed line has been dropping...

    The margin-of-defeat is notable, but losing to the #2 S-curve team on the road, in mid-February, probably not dropping too much. Marquette will drop below KU for sure in the pecking order ... then there's Alabama ... crushed A&M and still leads SEC standings, so might climb ... BU (won at WVU...
