Sources: The NCAA has initiated the final steps to expand the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments to 76 teams. The expansion is on track to be formalized in the upcoming weeks, with mid-May as the target. The 76-team tournaments begin next year. https://t.co/2ZGUjZR0uJ
Bryson Tiller is the type of kid Bill Self for 20 years would take as a true freshman, build up, turn into a star before they went off to the league. Kansas can't keep those kids anymore, don't have great luck with the 1 and done types and are mid at the portal. A dying brand.
Kansas big man transfer Flory Bidunga's list (as of now) is Duke, Michigan, St. John’s and Louisville, source told @TheFieldOf68.
The 6-9 sophomore averaged 13.3 points, 9 boards and 2.6 blocks this past season for the Jayhawks.

One thing nobody is talking about. Who takes the Arizona job if Tommy Lloyd leaves for UNC? Have to assume this is good for Kansas. Arizona would take a dip in the Big 12.
Four of Duke’s five last NCAA Tournament exits:
2022: Lost as a 1 seed to 8 seed UNC in the Final Four in Coach K’s final game
2024: Lost as a 1 seed to 11 seed NC State in the Elite 8
2025: Lose after being up by 9 with the ball and only 2:30 left against Houston in the Final Four
2026: Blow 20 point lead and lose in impossible fashion to UConn in the Elite 8.
Hate to see it!
From @TheAthletic: For 40 years, Duke has been college basketball’s most polarizing team. People love to hate Duke.
But has Duke basketball become less hateable? Perhaps, maybe, even likable? https://t.co/Z2jcL2ANjA
