7 losses to non-tournament teams doesn't look good on the resume.

"IF". The biggest word in the English language.

Should be Kevin Stallings last game today. Believe the official announcement will be made tomorrow.

Well Penn State fans are hoping that press conference will hold off until Friday. Any slim chance they have will be greatly increased if ND has a horrible loss to Pitt on their resume. 
Penn State fans will also be pulling for Wake Forest and Gonzaga today.

Credit the Panthers for hanging with ND yesterday but what is arguably the worst season in recent program history has come to an end. Question now is how long until Stalling is relieved of his duties? I really like Stewart as a player and Brown has some potential as a big but there is no way they can bring Stalling back. If you watched the game on ESPN yesterday the announcers pretty much poked fun at Stallings and the state of the program the entire first half. One saying all Stallings had to look forward to was his buyout. The studio guys at half suggested the guys cut him a break and let him coach his final 20 minutes. The fact that the masses thought it was a bad hire from the start, followed with the on court results of the last 2 years and the attendance issues make it impossible for Heather Lyke to bring him back. Here's hoping the next guy is the right guy.

Side note...read that Stallings would likely be a candidate for the Missouri State job if released by Pitt. Question is would he want to continue coaching?

This Florida State team does NOT look they belong anywhere near the NCAA tournament.

The 7 Top 50 wins, and an RPI of 43 is tough to ignore.  But eye test, yeah - they stink right now.

Louisville started the day "first four out" by Lunardi, and FSU was a nine seed.  Looks like the complete opposite to me.

I remember 10 years one of the biggest “resume tests” was last 10 games. Seems like that is no longer is ever discussed. Especially in the case of Oklahoma.

They seem dead set on Trae Young playing in the tournament.

The media does.  I just look at OU's resume and it doesn't stack up down the stretch.  Nebraska won 13 of 18 league games.  It just blows my mind that a 13 win B1G team regular season doesn't get you into the tournament.  Their OOC scheduling wasn't that bad either.  They played Kansas, Creighton, Boston College, and St John's out of conference.  If 13 league wins and 4 quality OOC games doesn't qualify you for a 68 team tournament, that seems to be a little off.
