Speaking of that, what is all this talk about Super bowl Sunday? Everyone knows the Super bowl was last night. What's up with that?🤷♂️
I had to Google who Darian DeVries is. Drake hasn't played a single team with a pulse this year and got destoyed by shitty Valpo last week. They'll probably lose both games to Loyola this week too.
Going to come off as a Michigan hater, but until they beat someone, I don't see how you could vote for him. Their best win is a disappointing Wisconsin team. Their next best wins are Purdue and PSU.
They are 13-1 and ranked 3 in the nation.
Not their fault their schedule is what is is when they’ve had to postpone games.
And wisconsin beat us by40 😂

If OSU wins the Big 10, I would think Holtmann needs to be in the discussion.
The AP Coach of the Year is cursed. NCAA began seedings in 1979. Since that time, 24 of the COYs have had a 1 seed in the tournament. Not a single one has won the whole thing. Imagine if a blue blood had been a 1 seed 24 times in the past 41 seasons - and never came away with a title! People would be constantly talking about the failures in March!
The 17 other years where the National COY didn't have a 1 seed, only once did they outperform their seed, Chris Beard in 2019 with Texas Tech.

Here are the odds of a 1 seed advancing by round...

Fran McCaffrey is the runaway winner, clearly.
Nobody else can do less with more and that deserves national recognition.

Della just checked SEC standings, shocked Vols are not even top four in SEC right now.
That remains to be seen Noah. You know, the Big 12 said the same thing, so don't trip over their grave to make such a statement. 😉
3 of the top 5 teams in the nation so far Della-may not have a team win the natty, but I think Big Ten would have the most success in the tourney...
