But he was a pretty key player at UCI last season. And now they are one win away from going to the NCAA tournament - playing against a team that they split 2 games with. Maybe there might be a bit of a thought of what might have been??

Sometimes college sports really is amateur hour:
Quote: CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- No. 10 Clemson trailed No. 13 Louisville by five points at halftime of Friday night's semifinal game at the ACC tournament and needed some in-game adjustments. So it didn't help when the Tigers were locked out of their locker room during the intermission.
Clemson players sat on the cement floor outside of the locker room while coach Brad Brownell addressed his team.

As you get older, you begin to realize how many events you thought were conspiracy theories are, in fact, just reality. Heightened sense of paranoia is the result.

It will be very tough to go the whole conference schedule with only 1 home loss next year. Perhaps in 27-28, CKS can get us to the point where we have a shot at going undefeated at home.

North Carolina got into the play-in. They were the last team in according to Keith Gill, vice chair of selection committee. Our new conference salvages some dignity.
It does come at the expense of West Virginia (who everybody thought would be in), Boise State, and Indiana and I'm sure all those guys have as legitimate a beef as those who get barely left out in any year.
