Now Now Hoodat, when your Bama-Bing gets ranked in the top 5 year after year in football, is it boring?

I was hoping for an all-SEC Final Four.  But for what we have, Auburn is definitely my choice going forward.  War Eagle !!!

Hate Florida.  Hate Cougar High.  And cannot stand DOOK.

All #1 seeds in the Final Four.  Bor-ing.
it has been that kind of year, though. No real Cinderella runs, money conferences controlling everything. Not great for the casual fan, but good for the bean counters.

Chattanooga Mocs win 2025 NIT

April 3, 2025


Chattanooga won the 2025 NIT championship, completing its Cinderella story and upsetting No. 1 UC Irvine 85-84 in overtime. The victory marks the Mocs' first NIT title and ties the program record for most wins in a season. Forward Garrison Keeslar hit the game-winning jump shot with 11 seconds left.

The Anteaters nearly won it in the final moments, but fell short after missing a layup on a Hail Mary play with less than a second left.

Jurian Dixon was left unguarded under the basket, and he missed an easy layup.

Well so far I am still at 100%, Florida beat my Auburn Tigers but I predicted that.... I had Duke vs Florida in the finals... and the Houston vs Duke has about 10 minutes left in it.... with Duke up a few points.

Final seconds of Houston vs Duke (One Point Game).

Edit: My first miss of the tournament  ... Houston won... I still have Florida to win it all.

Didn’t really have “skin” in the game.  But sort of cheering for FL who won, due to…unPC reasons.

Nice to see another race well represented who don’t have tats and raggedly girly hair.

Otherwise, not overly big on FL winning.  My son didn’t want it since they beat our Maryland.

That ending was epic.... when Houston went up for the 3pt shot and just dropped it to avoid being blocked, I couldn't believe he didn't touch it (making it a walk)... ball just sitting there bouncing while Houston tried to block out Florida from picking it up... Just a refreshing ending to a hard fought game... Both teams were defensive giants.

Houston didn't get a shot off in the last 80 seconds.

Marked safe from the riots in Houston.
