Basketball, NCAA, NBA, WNBA All Basketball, All the Time

NCAA Tournament Time! (NIT & WNIT too…)

Now I can honestly say, I miss everything about being on a coaching staff this season.  This time of year is phenomenal… prep work, practices, film sessions, planning, extra shooting with players, the anticipation – everything!

I missed those things during the year and I am anxious to return to coaching next year, but the traveling I did was something everyone in coaching should get an opportunity to do.

For those “grinding it out,”  Good Luck!

The 2010 WNBA Mock Draft got a lot of you going!  Fantastic comments and debates going back and forth the last 4 days.  ABR has had over 3,500 visits in the last 3+ days!  Thank You!

Bracketology – Charlie Creme

Here’s Charlie’s latest projection through games as of Feb. 21.  Scroll over a team name for more analysis. Records reflect Division I competition only.

Automatic bids are in CAPS.

This is the absolute best time of the year for talking basketball with everyone.

Bids by Conference is going to make some people edgy…

  • Big 12 (8)
  • ACC (7)
  • Big East (7)
  • SEC (6)
  • Big Ten (3)
  • Atlantic 10 (3)
  • Pac-10 (3)
  • America East (2)
  • Sun Belt (2)
  • Colonial (2)

I love the ACC, was part of it for 4 years.  It is arguably one of the Top 2 Conferences in the country year after year… but, 7 bids is high!  I say 5.  UNC and Maryland are all questions and NC State is on the cusp.  Each of those teams are currently 5-7 or 6-6 in the ACC.  If you allow all of them in, how then do you say no to Wake Forest and maybe Boston College?  Both are either 5-7 or 6-6 and Wake Forest is a head of UNC and Maryland in the ACC standings.  don’t go to the RPI and Strength of Schedule… it’s all comparable.

Why not give the Atlantic 10, Colonial or Mountain West a 4th, 3rd or 2nd team in, respectively.   Maybe give one or two of the MAAC, MAC, America East or Missouri Valley and 2nd team in.

Everyone screams for more parity in Women’s Basketball.  You can’t have parity if the Top 5 Conferences hold 31 of the 64 spots in the NCAA tournament every year.  Those coaches will never be able to consistently convince (recruit) top prospects to play in conferences where only one team goes to the NCAA’s year in and year out.

We’ll see…
