My fear with NCAA Tournament expansion: We won't see Saint Peter's get a crack at Kentucky or Princeton taking a swing at Arizona. Or to use a 2026 example, Siena pushing Duke to the wire.
I don't want the MAAC and Ivy champs relegated to some out-bracket. That would suck.
@bryandeno Bryan, they've been trying to figure out how to close games under Pikiell for 10 years. Another guy punch loss. How many of these must the fans endure?
@EllisVGordon You force them to make 2 free throws and you get the ball back with Michigan State having to foul you or you setup along the perimeter defensively.
All too often we've seen this same scenario play out.
@EllisVGordon Ellis, I have to disagree with you. You coach your team for these moments. This is on Pikiell not having them ready.
We've seen this time and time again against Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio State, etc. Now vs no. 7 Michigan State.
The failure to close out games.
Looking forward to the post game with Steve praising his team's effort and blowing a massive opportunity to win in regulation against the 7th ranked team in the land
This is Year 10 folks
