@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 βmid-majorβ 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. 'Itβs just really special.' https://t.co/UhPGVWrJ2L

There are 3 top players (and coach) from Florida Atlanticβs 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.
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
@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 isnβt what gives the event its mystique and allure
@andylutz3 Great question. Would have been very hard to turn down whatβs 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
@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 youβre right that today there is little chance they stay. There is little incentive and so they donβt stay, understandably.
