Yeah, that would be good for at least 5 years of ESPN talking about how dominant the SEC is, even if they stink it up.

All we need is the SEC dominating football and basketball both.
Last week Sir Charles Barkley said brackets are getting easier since NIL. 1-2,1-2,1-2,1-3, would suggest all the top NIL paying teams. That should be public information as they're public schools. Shouldn't it? Anyone have it?
I don’t believe it’s public. Still private corporations paying the players, not the schools.
With the universities taking it over, that would change though wouldn't it?
At least that portion of payout anyway.
We’ll, 2 pretty obvious out of bounds callls and the push off at the end didnt go their way. Game changers for sure.
There's a window here where the SEC Death Star gets blocked completely from the Final Four, so i know what I'm rooting for. But I think Auburn gets walk in the park through MSU.
Funny, I was thinking of the Game Winner @ Minnesota back when Johnny was the HC in the early 90s.
Could happen easily. The B1G Champion (Michigan State), ACC Champion (Duke), Big XII Champion (Houston) and the team with the best player in the Big XII (Texas Tech) are all still alive. The four SEC teams have their work cut out for themselves. If it is an all-SEC Final Four, they will have taken out the best of the rest to get there.
Well, you don't have to worry about football any longer. The B1G dominates that now.
I didn't stay up to watch the end of the 2 late games. Just watched the Houston in-bounds play.
Who the hell doesn't guard the in-bounder under the basket?!! Is that how Purdue had been guarding it earlier? Stupid.
I'm really not sure if it was a great play call by Sampson. More likely a heads-up play by his players.

Don’t know the answer, but my guess is that Sampson drilled that into his players in practice and they rewarded him.
It was a combination great call taking advantage of your opponents tendencies and poor practice coaching on Purdue’s part. Sampson saw something into Purdue’s defense that predicted that their player MIGHT guard the back side screen and not deny the ball and the big gets confused. The correct defense play is to deny the inbounds pass not switch to guard the open Cryer and make sure the big has his body on his guy. If Purdue denies the inbounds pass, we go to OT. That Purdue guy who switched to Cryer was not coached to deny the inbounds pass by his high school coach or his college coach. Purdue got caught in no man’s land. Sampson gambled and won.
