This was a contentious and controversial tournament from the beginning and so I’ll address the elephant in the room with what transpired in Round 7….what was Zucker thinking taking a kid from Yale?

See what I did there?!

I look forward to a spirited summer meetings this year with topics up for debate such as: 1) Do we look to expand back to 6 teams? 2) Do we ban all things Calipari indefinitely? 3) Should we have Jim Nantz be the official neck tie of the Hemcher Cup?

Also, I’m not sure if anyone else noticed but Villanova continued it’s recent history of only winning national titles every other year by not winning this year.

See you next year.
