    I've cooled off. 

    To be honest, my frustration is much more centered around the chaos of the search, rather than it being Kelsey. That's not his fault. 

    Initially, I love his personality and the fire it seems he has. Seems like he has a tenacious work ethic, which is required. I do think he could win over the fan base eventually with that. 

     

    I agree with you about the chaos, that’s been the most stressful part of it to me too.

  2. I like the hire in ways and others not as sure. I believe that his energy is definitely a strong point and something very needed with how far the program has fallen. He’s definitely got an impressive resume from his time in Charleston, but that’s also the question with the three years there as head coach and other experience. I will say I’m happier about getting Pat Kelsey over Richard Pitino. Only time will tell with what comes.

    Below is a breakdown of the 6 conferences that placed 4 or more into the tournament field after the first two rounds:

    Big 12-   7-5

    SEC-      5-6

    Big 10-   6-4

    MW-       3-6

    ACC-      8-1

    Pac 12-  5-3

    Also, the Big East and just 3 teams in the field, but they are now 6-0.

    The Big East should have brought at least one more team likely. The three teams that it did are good, I expected all of them in the Sweet Sixteen. The ACC is clearly the surprise, they did far more than anyone expected, including plenty ACC fans. 

  4. I know many UK fans don’t want to hear it but I think Cal remains. And I’m in agreement with college basketball being like it never has and the change is going to happen more. If we are being realistically honest, the coaching talent pool just isn’t what it once was. And if it was, I don’t know what good it would do overall between the majority of changes that have happened along with what’s still to come. 

  5. This is likely the first time I picked against Tom Izzo in the first round. Regardless of how good or bad Michigan State is, Izzo is practically guaranteed a first round win. I thought Mississippi State had a chance and picked due to how down the B1G has been in basketball.

  6. I think the game between Florida Atlantic and Northwestern is interesting of the first round. Florida Atlantic isn’t nearly as good as last year and Northwestern isn’t great by any means. Between Florida Atlantic not being as good and the attention Dusty May has been getting, I could see Northwestern winning.
