@ButlerWarSong @ButlerMBB @ShelvinMack Fun day in NOLA.

@dannykanell Coach FM makes a great point about how critical this makes preseason rankings. Only the Power 4/5 want the 10th place conference team over another quality “mid-major” but they masterfully shifted things in that direction.

Thanks Samantha for stopping by shootaround to talk to our team & helping to carry on Andrew Smith's mission.

Before Butler and a 14-year NBA career, Gordon Hayward led Brownsburg to a state championship. He was honored Thursday night with a jersey retirement ceremony. 'It’s just really special.' https://t.co/UhPGVWrJ2L

@PacersJJ @ZionsvilleBball That guy could shoot it!

@PacersJJ Otherwise it would have been a very forgetful Monday night in Hinkle.

[Matt Howard @MHoward54]

@BodenKapke Looking forward to seeing your next chapter. All the best!

[Matt Howard @MHoward54]

@VinzClortho22 For sure. My default is to side with the players. It’s just the collateral damage of the changes that is unfortunate.

[Matt Howard @MHoward54]

There are 3 top players (and coach) from Florida Atlantic’s Final 4 run 2 years ago on 3 different Sweet 16 (Power 5) teams this year. Perfect representation of what has taken the madness out of the Big Dance.

[College Sports Only @CSOonX]

It's crazy that unless New Mexico beats Michigan State, every single team in the Sweet 16 will be from a Power 4 conference.

Maybe it's just a one-off, but it's concerning that the new model of turning mid-majors into farm teams could take a lot of the madness out of March. #MarchMadness

[Matt Howard @MHoward54]

@TheBigBenDiesel Yeah what draws me in is seeing the team no one cared about all year making a run and executing game plans against the big guys. I get some fans like seeing the most talented plays square off but that isn’t what gives the event its mystique and allure

[Matt Howard @MHoward54]

@GSavetheplanet The deck is stacked against them from the start with how they determine quad 1 wins and NET rankings

[Matt Howard @MHoward54]

@BigJoeRambler Anyone who is on the same side as Ryan Sterling is ok by me!

[Matt Howard @MHoward54]

@rsharp1122 Idk if it’s over but the odds are being stacked even higher against the little guys now.

[Matt Howard @MHoward54]

@andylutz3 Great question. Would have been very hard to turn down what’s being offered out there today. I bet you can count on one hand the fresh/soph all-league players at mid major schools that come back for another year

[Matt Howard @MHoward54]

@VinzClortho22 In 2007 I was an incoming freshman for a mid-major that just made the Sweet 16. The coach left for a Power 5 and no one went with him. But you’re right that today there is little chance they stay. There is little incentive and so they don’t stay, understandably.
