@StlVUFan @SkywayChicago Logically that makes the most sense. I'm curious of the makeup of the games...all 12s on one day and 16s on another doesnt seem likely.

I am trying to make it in the college basketball industry. Obviously not an easy thing to do. I did this last year and am doing it again. I have put together a transfer portal doc with all the updated transfers from within Division I. It is sorted by league and team. I would love feedback on this and it will be edited as fast as possible. Everything is manually entered by me so please be patient. I have absolutely no ties to agents or schools and have no sources. Simply getting all this info from all the places you can find it and all the insiders that post it. Hopefully you all enjoy and share with everyone. Free of charge. @thecenterhub_bb

The Sweet 16 will be all power-conference schools: Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Big 12, and Big East.

Since the field expanded to 64 in 1985, it has only happened twice: last year and this year. This year, we can now say it with three games left to finish, as they feature power conference schools playing each other.

NIL + the transfer portal are hollowing out March Madness.

The old Cinderella model is dying because mid-majors can’t keep the veteran cores that used to make these runs. Once those players establish themselves, they jump to bigger stages and bigger money at power-conference schools.

The only double-digit seed left is No. 11 Texas. One of the richest athletic departments in college sports is not what comes to mind when you think “Cinderella.”

A bracket with Siena, Miami (Ohio), Saint Louis, and/or High Point still alive would have felt a lot more like March Madness.

Tonight @MiamiOH_BBall:

scored 80+ points
dished out 20+ assists
made 15+ threes
had fewer than 5 turnovers

Never in NCAA Tournament history had any team done that in a game.

[Ben Case @bcmu03]

@StlVUFan Sorry, Brian is sick and cant make it. His streak ends at 25. I am still going but dont know when now and if will go to Pine Club.

Congrats @VCU_Hoops, you are the 2026 Atlantic One! @AOUEOU @midmajority @SkywayChicago https://t.co/w7rOJKpdxp

[Herd Bros @TheHerdBros]

Undefeated mid-major teams should just opt out of their conference tournament in the future if the selection committee can’t get this right

[Dick Vitale @DickieV]

Congrats to COACH TRAVIS STEELE -no easy task on any level going 31-0 like he did in guiding @MiamiOH_BBall to a historic regular season . Here come the RED HAWKS BABY to @MarchMadnessMBB ! The MAC is underrated BABY !

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

Miami (OH) caps off its undefeated regular season in style 🔥

The RedHawks snapped a 14-game road losing streak against Ohio for their first road victory over the Bobcats in 15 years 😯

[NCAA March Madness @MarchMadnessMBB]

MIAMI (OH) COMPLETES PERFECT REGULAR SEASON 🚨

WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE REDHAWKS 👏

[Ben Case @bcmu03]

@StlVUFan @SkywayChicago No tickets yet so will be a last minute decision if we can make it. Will keep you posted!

[ESPN @espn]

MIAMI IS 30-OH ‼️

The RedHawks are only the FOURTH men's D-I team to enter March undefeated in the last 20 years 😤

[Dick Vitale @DickieV]

Should not even be a debate about 29-0 @MiamiOH_BBall as to whether they should be part of @MarchMadnessMBB if they do not win the MAC tourney -metrics used to define who should qualify as at large teams is one sided & favors MEDIOCRITY from power conferences over EXCELLENCE by mid majors .

[Nick Bateman @nickbateman33]

There won’t be a team in March Madness more prepared for the pressure of close games than Miami Ohio

They’re basically playing in an elimination game every time they step on the court

And they keep winning. 29-0

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

With their 69-67 win tonight, @MiamiOH_BBall has now won a game this season when scoring in the:

60s (60-69)
70s (70-79)
80s (80-89)
90s (90-99)
100s (100-109)
110s (110-119)
120s (120-129)
130s (130-139)

No other Division I team in the last 25 seasons has done that.

[Matt Norlander @MattNorlander]

The Miami University RedHawks are 28-0.

They're only the seventh team since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985 to reach 28-0.

The list:

'25-26 Miami
'20-21 Gonzaga
'16-17 Gonzaga
'14-15 Kentucky
'13-14 Wichita St
'04-05 Illinois
'90-91 UNLV

Best story in CBB 🏀
