It is very strange. Back in the day when the Bearcats would lose in the tournament, I would be miserable for days- just down. And I have no interest in watching anymore of the tournament. I might watch a little bit of the final four but not schedule my day around it or anything. I might catch a half hour of it.

Then we started not making the tournaments. I had no interest in the selection show. As the brackets revved up, I would pay a little bit of interest and started watching the final four more. I guess it’s now sinking in that we regularly Don’t make the tournament and my interest in other college basketball Teams has increased. I’m actually looking forward to the selection show. I’m looking forward to certain matchups. This is not an indictment on the coach or anybody else. I’m just stating my observations that I’m looking forward to the show, but I guess I’m saddened that this is how I get my CBB fix. How about you guys?

I am interested to see if UC makes the NIT and which bubble teams make the NCAA tournament.

I am recording some NIT preview show tonight. Not sure how crappy the hosts will be. But I will see what it’s about.

I guess I'll watch it, but UC not even being in contention for so many years now is disappointing and depressing.

It took Cronin 5 years to get UC back to the tourney. Let’s give Miller some time to build something.

NKU draws Houston. Ouch

Memphis as an 8 playing Purdue in Round 2 would be my pick for a 1-seed to drop early.

Also, I love Kent State over Indiana.

XU has a tremendously favorable draw.
