I see a lot of High Point over Purdue. Could happen but I've run a ton of game simulations and nearly every one of them has High Point losing by 20+
That's bold. No coach in NCAA history has taken their first year ever coaching D1 team to the tourney and won a game.I have BYU beating Duke to get into the Final Four.
How many of those coaches were NBA associate head coaches with over 15 years of coaching experience in the NBA and G League?That's bold. No coach in NCAA history has taken their first year ever coaching D1 team to the tourney and won a game.
Not sure. If you wanted to find that out I'm sure you could. Just heard that on a podcast this morning.How many of those coaches were NBA associate head coaches with over 15 years of coaching experience in the NBA and G League?
I do think and hope VCU gives them the loss though.
Oh... awesome. I didn't want the money anyways.That's bold. No coach in NCAA history has taken their first year ever coaching D1 team to the tourney and won a game.
2008 is the only time it happened.An all-1 F4 doesn't happen often (3 times so far, I think, deferring to @HoopsTournament or others for verification). This could be one of the outliers seasons, but as a rule I avoid picking all 1-chalk. I go with two 1's, maybe a 2 or 3, then perhaps a darkhorse below 4 line.
Historically, that might be a decent approach, but even if it is, the challenge is the "who."
Steve Fisher says hi.That's bold. No coach in NCAA history has taken their first year ever coaching D1 team to the tourney and won a game.
Frieder coached the regular season and resigned and literally that link says the regular season they give to Frieder but the NCAA tourney wins to Fischer. So technically...TECHNICALLY...your gotcha failed.
If that is the case, the next season was Fishers first season and they won a tournament game.Frieder coached the regular season and resigned and literally that link says the regular season they give to Frieder but the NCAA tourney wins to Fischer. So technically...TECHNICALLY...your gotcha failed.
I'll get you the link to the podcast so you can have them retract!If that is the case, the next season was Fishers first season and they won a tournament game.

Anytime I hear a "Fact" about the NCAA Tournament, I verify it. This one was WAY off.I'll have to find it again on TikTok. It was a discussion of NCAA tourney info to help pick brackets.
