NCAA Pro-Rel when?
There have been several instances of non-DI teams picking off DI teams this season. While these are real games, they don't count in some computer metrics, which we and 90% of fans think is ridiculous. @ianrsacks.bsky.social has more. www.midmajormadness.com/ncaa-reacts/...

Congratulations to Denver on moving from the Dakota State Invitational to the Saint Mary’s Invitational
Per Pete Thamel, Denver is joining the West Coast Conference as of next year. Denver (never made ncaa tournament) has played in the summit league (aka the arch rival of @nmtchoops.bsky.social.)

If there is nobody against NCAA tournament expansion, I’ve died (more specifically, the NCAA tournament expansionist extremists killed me)
If there are millions against NCAA Tournament Expansion I am with them

If there are thousands against NCAA Tournament Expansion I am with them

If there are hundreds against NCAA Tournament Expansion I am with them

If there is one person against NCAA Tournament Expansion I am them
Reports are that with tourney expansion comes a new opening round - revamping the first four to be 12 AQs and the final 12 at large teams.

Moving all these AQs to the opener ain’t it and is a key reason why tourney expansion harms the smaller schools.

Rod Barnes led CSU Bakersfield out of the grips of the NMTC in 2016, and was one of a probably pretty small number of active coaches who led their current team to its first tournament. (Too lazy to do the research. But you’ll always have a home here at NMTC HQ. 🫡)
