Having seen it up close now, I love the benches on the baselines. College hoops is great in part because of the character of its gyms, barns, arenas and field houses. Vandy is 1 of 1.

[Evan Miyakawa @EvanMiya]

The 62 combined fouls in the Vanderbilt Alabama game is the most fouls in any D1 game this season. Yikes.

[Matthew Thomas @protowelstomper]

@MattNorlander A Berson nugget for when you sneak in an Ivy shoutout on today’s pod

[Jared Berson @JaredBerson]

Cornell today vs Princeton to clinch a berth in Ivy Madness:

- 102 points
- 64.4% FG pct (38-59)
- 60.6% 3-pt FG pct (20-33)

The 81.4% effective field goal percentage is the highest by an Ivy League team in a game since 2006 and the 4th-highest across D-I this season.

Cornell thumps Princeton, 102-70. Big Red own one of the most electric offenses you'll find anywhere.

Cornell is now clinched into Ivy Madness. Joining Yale and Dartmouth.

One spot remains. Princeton can secure it with a win over Penn next Saturday. Brown is still alive if not.

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

With the additions of Texas and Oklahoma, the SEC was supposed to be deeper than it's ever been. That was without a capable team at Vanderbilt. Dores are now 6-0. And a terrific watch. An emerging storyline in Nashville.

Lowman coached by a former Lowman

Our guy @colecubelic submitting a nomination for Lowman trophy. Big boy football

Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea: “We know in time Vanderbilt will be the best football program in the country.”

[Matthew Thomas @protowelstomper]

How did @GaryParrishCBS let @MattNorlander give him a hard time about how he pronounces “theater” after Norlander said “Cincinnati Bangles” 10 times earlier in the episode?

The Memphis Tigers are in hot water....Again.; Big 12 and UConn no longer flirting with one another? https://t.co/vKtuv55Fa4

[Matthew Thomas @protowelstomper]

That Derrick Byars

[Andrew VU '04 @AndrewVU041]

Diego Pavia has that Sonny Gray, that Carson Fulmer, that Tony Kemp in him. What a competitor.

[Matthew Thomas @protowelstomper]

One year? He also went 12-20 the year before that with three 1,000-point scorers in their senior year.

[Seth Davis @SethDavisHoops]

Yeah I guess Bryce Drew totally forgot how to coach basketball for one year. Then he suddenly remembered. Now coaching in his third NCAA tourney at Grand Canyon. Makes total sense!

[Matthew Thomas @protowelstomper]

Most surprising moment of the episode was @MattNorlander letting @GaryParrishCBS go unscathed after referencing a “squirmish” at a club

Well, well, well. Look who’s on my flight.

IHA has no Delta Sky Lounge, so ⁦@GaryParrishCBS⁩ is sitting here and waiting for the flight like a regular man amongst the unwashed masses.

“This is so weird for me. I don’t even know what to do with myself.”

San Diego State vs Creighton on Sunday will be the first Regional Final between teams both making their first ever Regional Final appearance since 1981 (Virginia vs BYU).

[John Gasaway @JohnGasaway]

Results are metrics, too. Bubble teams sorted by straight team sheet resume metrics -- zero NET, KenPom, BPI, or Sagarin.

[Adam Kelly @AdamKellyFA]

Vanderbilt beats UK by 7 last night for their 5th Quad 1 win and only moves up 3 spots to 79 in the NET.

Meanwhile, Iona beats Niagara (NET 247) by 12 and moves up 3 from 62 to 59.

Vandy has 10 Quad 1/2 wins and is 79th. Iona has 0 Q 1/2 wins and is 59th.

The NET is broken.

[Matthew Thomas @protowelstomper]

Tell ‘em, Hoops! Metrics matter, but quality wins just mean more.

[Matthew Thomas @protowelstomper]

Vandy

[Matt Norlander @MattNorlander]

Podcast crossover? Yes. Hopping on @TheFieldOf68 with @RobDauster and @r22childress right now from the floor of MSG. Maybe @John_Fanta won't big-time us?
