Kram any news on having a tournament next year? Just 8 teams and you. You ould cut it down to 20 min or 30 min games. Just do a round of 8 all day! That would be a lot of fun! Is there any interest in doing this!? Either way next year!

Sorry I did not make it Kram. Mark me and some of my buddies for next year! Maybe we could do it tournament style with teams of 5 or 6 and get 8 teams going! have fun gentleman!

I have Indiana and duke... But the other two final four teams were k state and Michigan. Dang it k state! You should have won. You ruined me!!!!

I think the would have and beaten Gonzaga. But obviously we were both wrong haha. Now the Zags have an easy path to the elite 8. If kansas state had won yesterday I would have been very confident that I would have won. O well... Always next year...

Well my bracket will fall apart because of Kansas State. They should have won! They would have beat Gonzaga though beating OSU was a toss up I still picked them. My bracket hinged on the success of Kansas state and michigan. I felt they were in the weakest brackets.

Refs wanted Kansas to win...

4 for 28.... Missing open shots. Cmon Western!

Did any one else laugh when they said you don't see anyone block like this in the sunbelt....

If the fouls were the other way around WKU might be up still

Of WKU wins I am all for an invite to CUSA... Maybe they can forget about one of the Florida teams and letting in Charlotte or old dominion. Then try to chase back Houston and Tulane... Memphis can go to the SEC and SMU. Well screw SMU

Just to be playing like this I give WKU major props!

Is no one else watching this western Kentucky game....

Looking back I do think had duke to high as well.... Maybe it is because I am just a coach K. Fan...

I just do not think they are all they are cracked out to be. It is not always about who you beat, but who you have lost too. Just in general I do not think this butler team is like the team with Howard and Mack. I should have had them getting out of the first round, but there is no way they go further in my mind. I could be wrong because I was pretty sure there was no way new Mexico or kanas as state would lose haha. It kind of sucks because normally I make good money off of these brackets and sometimes the games but this year we are going to Vegas in the summer

I thought Kansas State, Michigan, Oregon, and Arizona were all under ranked... And I though Gonzaga, New Mexico, Butler, and Oklahoma State were all way over rated.... Kansas State should have won that game. Two possessions and over 40 seconds to make a basket. Once for the lead and once for a tie and they could not capitalize. Why he would run to the right baseline is beyond me... I thought Mcgruder Would be one of the stand out players in the tourney. Oh well...he shot poorly and they lost. If duke, indiana, and michigan make it far I might be ok...

Well they also onlyhave two rounds now... I mean if they had 9 rounds or so again then even Jordan Williams might be gone. The drop off is nothing when you look at it that way. Still it is nice to have another player in the NBA!

well I was in the lead after last night, but today is another story. I'm 2 for 4 and my bracket really depends on how far Kansas State and Michigan can go...I have them both in the final four.

I never said JJ had any of these problems but you never know what the situation could be if we had another coach. In general I want a coach who creates productive young men. Winning is also nice, but we will have plenty of that next season. And you are not following.... We have 15 players on this team how is using Trey (one player) a good argument? So it happens about 6% of the time. I can live with that.

Using one anecdotal example proves nothing. You do not know how this situation went down, and even if it went down the way you believe what does it prove? That is like flipping a coin and it lands on heads so you believe it will always land on heads. In the great scheme of things one example does not outweigh the 15 young men we have on the team right now.

I never said JJ was a problem. I just think Benford is attempting to take it a step forward and be more then a coach to these athletes. I believe he is trying to be like a father to them. The skiver BS is also getting old. Grow up and move on.... The onlypoint I was trying to make is that collegeis about more then athletics. Very few people will grow up to become professional theltes, but they all need a degree and a bright future.

Respond to what the truth? You made your point clear... Basketball means more to you then developing productive men. You made that point clear. You probably grew up in a nice house with both parents and a relatively easy life (we all hit the wall at times no matter where we come from). A lot of these young men in the college game come from broken homes and broken families. Basketballis not the only answer and they need a role model. I have seen from Benford tells me that he is that role model. He understands that the choices they make now will be stuck with them for the rest of their lives. Making grades, going to class, and learning to be responsible are all more important the learning the thunder or shuffle offense. Yes we should have won more games this year, but I know for a fact we will improve next season. In the end these young men will be thanking Benford when they go off and have Real world jobs that do not require dribbling a basketball...

Their first option to score was always in transition. When it did not work they then set up their half court offense. Evergreens goal is to score in transition. That is basketball 101 and UNT did this like everyone else. The defense needs to improve going into next season so we can have more chances to score in transition (especially true with our lack of post play). I fear teams next season will over play on the three point line and we will run the risk of turning the ball over.

That's right NT90 does not care if we don't graduate men. He rather win 20 games and have our players end up in jail 10 years from now or jobless and broke. The alumni on here make me sick. They are student athletes. Benford held them to a standard they had never been held to before. He asked them to handle their business in the classroom and make sure they have a future when basketball is done. There are players on the team with babies and he knows from experience that they need to grow up because basketball is not everything. You people are miserable and negative human beings. I am ashamed to have graduated from a University with alumni Iike this. I rather win 6 games a year and have our players grow into productive citizens in our country. I guess some people rather win confrence championships and then write our players off and not give them a future. Best case scenario you do both, but Benford saw that things needed to be changed in these young mens lives and he stepped in and was lie a father to them. If I were Tony Mitchell I would not give a dime to a University supported by such miserable human beings. Tony meant every word he said, but haters are going to hate. He should write off this university just based off of the stupidity written above.

Well Western Kentucky can at least win.....

That should be the dagger... ready to play the MUTS next year...
