A college basketball blog! A unique collection of thoughts covering the greatest sport out there.

Taking a page out of the #d3hoops playbook and something @kenpomeroy wrote a while back. What if the committee only used WAB to select the teams and seed the bracket?

The bracket, and some key observations are found here:

[Valley Madness @MVCMadness]

Y’all ruined the greatest conference tournament in the country 👎

Shame

[Possession Arrow College Basketball @ArrowCBB]

Terrible decision by the Valley. This quickly diminishes what was a marquee tournament each Champ Week, without a doubt.

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

Source: Starting in 2027, the top two seeds in the Missouri Valley Tournament will receive automatic byes to the semifinals of Arch Madness.

Last season, top-seeded Belmont lost in the quarterfinals to ninth-seeded Drake.

[MVC Hoops @MVC_Hoops]

Every Valley basketball account is saying “See you in St. Louis”

We might not with the new format. There will be a men’s and women’s team that will not participate in postseason basketball.

What a step in the wrong direction for the Valley.

@PaintTouches Feels like they could have just swapped one of them to the other group, no?

Wow! This is an incredible Non-League slate . Extremely challenging, playing several of the top D3 programs in the North East .

[Matt Norlander @MattNorlander]

Xavier and Marquette will not play each other because they are Big East mates. Both teams will have Texas A&M and Virginia on their non-con schedules.

Texas Tech should be banned from all possible Big 12 championship game and CFP games for playing with a player the NCAA deemed ineligible. Let him play in meaningless games if hometown judges want to override the NCAAs rulings.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

NEWS: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. He’s set to be eligible for the 2026 season.

[Gary Parrish @GaryParrishCBS]

As someone raised on the Metro Confrerence, you can't be the 25th-ranked league in college basketball and just decide to call yourself the Metro Conference in 2026. It's insulting to Pervis Ellison and Keith Lee -- not to mention Clarence Weatherspoon, Bimbo Coles and Clifford Rozier. I'm very offended right now.

[Trilly Donovan @trillydonovan]

Don’t forget what they took from us

[DePaul Basketball @DePaulHoops]

A familiar opponent returns 🗓️

Blue Demons add a fourth NCAA Tournament team to the 2026-27 slate.

See 🫵 in DSM, Hawkeyes!

🏀 vs. Creighton | Sunday, Nov. 15
📍 Casey's Center

[College Basketball Report @CBKReport]

NEWS: Michigan State PG Jeremy Fears Jr. is returning for his junior season.

Fears was a second team all-American this season and will arguably be the best returning player in college basketball next season.

LETS. GO. HUGE for College Basketball.

[Possession Arrow College Basketball @ArrowCBB]

A big rebrand campaign and they steal the name of an underrated league of the 80s and 90s? It’s like spending millions of dollars on a rebrand, only to choose Tigers or Falcons as your nickname.

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

BREAKING: The MAAC is now the Metro Conference

[College Basketball Review @CbbReview]

No. 224 in our rankings is Western Michigan!

4 NCAA Tournament appearances for the Broncos, with 2 under Steve Hawkins, who led them to MAC regular season titles in 8 of his 17 seasons.

For a mid-major school that has played 113 seasons, they have an all-time record over .500, which is an incredible feat.

[Paint Touches @PaintTouches]

Oh man this is as must read as it gets for #mubb.

Let me read it again, so much to pull out from here.

[David Eickholt @DavidEickholt]

The University of Iowa Athletics Department has purchased the official court used in the NCAA Houston Regional Elite Eight.

The new playing surface comes as the current Carver-Hawkeye Arena court -- last replaced in 2016 -- had reached a typical point in its lifecycle for replacement.

[Casual Big Ten @casualbigten]

Michigan State’s neon jersey game in 2016 was unreal. A huge top-10 win to snap a 3-game skid💪

Bryn Forbes: 25 PTS
Denzel Valentine: 19 PTS, 14 REB, 8 AST
Matt Costello: 15 PTS, 12 REB

[Matt Norlander @MattNorlander]

Michigan + UConn are providing a CBB rarity: A title-game rematch in the first week of the season. Nov. 6. Boston. Tremendous. Beyond that, Dusty May and Dan Hurley are scheduling aggressively and trying to set the tone for the rest of the sport. Details:
