Trevion Williams cries foul: nypost.com/2022/03/26/purdues-trevion-williams-saint-peters-got-a-lot-of-calls/amp/I was wondering why they didn't have their 7 foot 4 300 pound center EDEY in the game the last 5 minutes and this article makes me wonder even more. Maybe they should have had both in. Regardless Spc came up big in those final minutes just as they have their last 10 games. Hey if SPC wins the national championship maybe the ncaa will finally scrap the Nit. Purdue, sour grapes. 🙂

Keep making money for the MAAC also. Gene Steratore wanted to take the game away from the Peacocks. Thank God the on court refs didn't do it. Now MAAC up to $1.4MM per year for 6 years. Hell! Now I want them to make the Championship game!!! Why not!?! Oh I thought I heard it was $4M after the first or second win. Maybe I misheard.

Right. But just $1.4M for all MAAC teams to divide equally as of now? Yes . But it's not "only". It's a huge deal for a conference like the Maac. Think about it this way. Each unit in 2022 is worth $339,000 each year for six year. So in a normal year the Maac gets roughly $2,000,000 (this years share plus the previous 5 years share). Spc earned the conference another $6,000,000 for their three wins split over the next 6 years. So, that will be $1.0 million extra next year for a total of $3,000,000 including the units from the previous 5 years. Split 10 ways (hopefully not 11) that will be $300,000 budget funds for their sports programs instead of the usual $200,000, guaranteed, for the next 6 years. A budget 50% larger than usual just for Spc making the elite 8. And schools like Rider and Marist will get them, ugh. Imagine if more programs committed to winning and we got a few more teams to get in and win tournament games!

So aside from not being able to throw it in the ocean today, St. Peter's has also run into a high major team that also happens to be peaking right now (see coach K Cameron Indoor farewell party pooping). Assuming St. Pete's doesn't pull a miracle out of their ass here, Duke v. NC will be a great, GREAT matchup in the final 4.

Tweet of the day: “ Mike Pence can put St Peter’s into the Final Four if he has the courage!”
Peacocks made history getting to the Elite 8 … that can never be erased or taken from them

No matter how many upsets it always come down to the blue bloods... elite 8, final four, champion Yeah, and thought especially this round the officiating was geared towards making sure that the Final Four was what the officials wanted rather than trying for close games. Unfortunate, cause while I'm a casual wrestling fan I'm now a whole lot more interested in watching Wrestlemania this weekend than in seeing any of the remaining teams cut down the nets while the officials are still reviewing the final seconds on a tiny monitor after they already gifted the victor for taking 14 charges. That is where college basketball is right now and it sucks. Eliminate the charge and open the lanes. If you are not in a defensive position then no foul can be called for charging. In turn, get more aggressive on offensive guys pushing off against defenders that are actually playing them tough. A guy waiting to be run over is not looking out for player safety!

UNC makes 10 3s in other semi final and will play for a championship. Duke struggled from 3 and the FT line and it cost them.
