We're in full swing for offseason conference preview preparation. Here is the *tentative* posting schedule. The expectation is that posts will come out at 8AM and 5PM EDT. I hope to have the full ranking of teams 1 to 365 posted the first Monday of October.

I did some investigating of college basketball's concentration of three point shooting, looking to find what it actually means for a team to be "elite from outside".

Part one of a series.

Notable changes
>MAAC --> Metro (No new transparent logo, we'll use the old one)
>WAC --> UAC
>Pac 12 Reborn
>West coast (and southeast) teams moving galore

I'm planning to do a more coalesced, rather than staggered review for the conference previews.

Dusty May was third overall in this draft. He us under 50, won a national championship and has a final four at two different schools. What an absolute stunner.

I drafted out a first round of men's college basketball coaches as you might nba prospects, considering age, program prestige and track record, assuming everything held equal to the team they were drafted to.

It makes more sense if you read it.

I drafted out the second round of men's college basketball coaches as you might NBA prospects, considering age, program prestige and track record, assuming everything held equal to the team they were drafted to.

It makes more sense if you read it.

@Sam_Federman three consecutive really good situations where he has been the head coach, no second weekend, in as few words as possible.

We've got to start asking the hard questions - what might the great philosophers think about NCAA Tournament expansion?

I dove into this subject, looking beyond the opinion of those close to the sport.

End of season conference ranking thread:

[Benjamin @been_gee]

Here's a preliminary look at when I'll be releasing the end of season article and rankings for each conference. Much like I did in the preseason, this will culminate in a ranking of all 365 teams, now released a week after the National Championship.

Tennessee was the last SEC team standing in the NCAA Tournament. The Vols didn't win the league, nor the conference tournament title. Despite these three accolades going to three separate teams, Florida was far and away the best.

Discussed with the SEC and Big Ten as the best conference in the country, it'd be difficult to put the Big 12 ahead of the Big Ten after what went down in the Final Four.

The Big Ten finally won a National Championship this season. This was more about it being a matter of time and getting enough darts rather than something wrong fundamentally with the conference.

Duke once again ran through the ACC. The second best team in the league was better this season, but they still paled in comparison against the Blue Devils. How long can this continue? Why don't more teams just try harder?

The Big East was a poor conference outside of their top two teams this season. Thankfully, both UConn and St. John's delivered, both in conference play and the NCAA Tournament.
