Re: 2023 Coaching Carousel
Turning around Georgetown basketball, with all their history and personal meaningfulness to him, would be an achievement Cooley would really value, imo.

Re: 2023 CBB Post Season All Things NCAA/NIT
I thought Rutgers had done enough to get in.
Pleasantly surprised by ASU getting in, but I am more intrigued by what happens when their season ends.
The West region is all together wild!
Hopkins against Kentucky is interesting.
My mid-major fave is FAU.

Villanova needs some time to recover from losing Wright (and absolutely good for him for getting out on his terms), and Temple might be cursed for pushing out Dunphy and making him go along with the whole “McKie as successor” thing. Drexel and Penn had good seasons, St. Joe’s and La Salle were meh.

Not surprising that Dayton’s accounts are the most popular/interacted with in the conference.
Also, I hadn’t looked at the A10’s KenPom numbers in a while. Ugly, viewer discretion is advised. Six 200+ teams and only two in the top 100.

Minnesota picks up just their second conference win of the season.
