    Miami (OH) vs. Auburn (& Bruce Pearl!) Is The College Basketball RIFT You Didn't Know You Needed!

    There's been a good deal of conversation surrounding Miami (OH)'s undefeated run through the season and their bona-fides as an at-large candidate should they end up losing a game (or games). The way to not mess with it is to not lose, but what if they do? Former Auburn coach and current CBS broadcaster Bruce Pearl has thoughts! What other mid-majors could make noise in the NCAA tournament? Was last year a harbinger of the death of the mid-major or a one-year blip? The final Big Monday of the season didn't have any close games, but Duke and Arizona continued to solidify their 1-seed status.

    Will Gonzaga's loss to Saint Mary's keep them from No. 3 seed? | What Zags NEED to do in WCC Tourney

    Gonzaga Bulldogs’ shot at a No. 2 seed slips away after a tough road loss to Saint Mary’s, but a No. 3 seed is still within reach—assuming the Zags win out in the WCC Tournament. Andy Patton breaks down the tournament bracketology, discusses Saint Mary’s tactical adjustments that exposed Gonzaga’s second half struggles, and evaluates how injuries to key players like Braden Huff and Jalen Warley could alter the Bulldogs’ March Madness fate. Key discussion points include the razor-thin margin among NCAA tourney seeds, the impact of resume metrics like KenPom and wins above bubble, and the critical importance of team chemistry down the stretch. Plus, analysis of Lisa Fortier’s Gonzaga women’s squad as they battle turnover woes and look to make noise in their final WCC tournament, with Lauren Whittaker emerging as one of the nation’s premier freshmen. Can the Zags capitalize on their unselfish play and overcome adversity on the road to Selection Sunday?
