All I know is it's really unfair 1-seed Florida is going to have to play 2-seed Houston in Houston.

Pretty sure he did that at halftime of the title game, so just 20 minutes later than your recommendation.

I'm sort of neutral on him. Gets results, but his approach is to score in the opening 15 then hang on for dear life. Leads to frustration of points dropped in the final 15 & added time regularly. Not sure all the players fit his style, trying to be patient, but I'm ready to get out of League One.

Didn't generate a single shot in the second half. I think we'll yo-yo in and out of the playoff places but after today my expectation is we finish 7th or 8th.

Would indicate CBS Sports Research isn't doing their job, because 12 & 15 are both more than 11.

Saturday is massive. If we can get another 3 points on the road, we'll be in great shape.

But that's why I track Painter. 15 & 16 are the hardest to get, and he's already got both.

Reminds me of this note I keep on my phone for Matt Painter seed loss bingo. If he gets a 3-seed with Purdue this year, maybe he fills in the 14 or 6.

If the NCAA is picking the last in today, expect San Diego St to get in over Texas. Their win over UNM moved the Aztecs to 45 in WAB (Texas is 47 with a negative score). Only one team has made the field with a losing Q1-3 record, that was Texas at 13-15 last year. The Longhorns are 10-14 this year.

@anonymouseagle.bsky.social is spot on here. Next year needs to look like 2022-2025 or Coach Smart will be looking for work.

Right now is the key stretch. Starting with the Luton win it was 4 out of 5 away from home. I thought we needed 10-12 points from that stretch. If we win today, I really like our chances to nip 6th.

March/April are tough. Just 4 of 11 at home. Gotta get some results on the road.

They made a movie about my 3rd birthday. Called it Miracle about some little hockey game in Lake Placid.

Now on my 49th birthday USA Hockey is going to play for Gold on the anniversary of the biggest upset in sports history. What would Herb say? #usahockey #olympics

I do, the next month is big. Home games against playoff challengers Bolton & Bradford along with a winnable away fixture at Port Vale. 7 points or better & the playoff push is on.

They could really use a win today. Especially with a team like TCU lurking that has a similarly bad loss but really good top-tier wins the Broncos can't match.

It's a Marriott Miracle that #ReadingFC won today, but this live table with 6 of the top-10 still to play each other today is a massive opportunity taken. Bolton & Bradford at the SCL with a trip to Port Vale in between, real chance this team could get to the top-6 by the end of February.
