Always unfortunate when a coach is let go but good for NCState for a) acknowledging Gottfried won't be back and b) letting him finish season

Dayton coach Archie Miller denies contact with NC State 'or anyone else'
Miller, a former Wolfpack player, will be a popular name for coaching searches in 2017
Shortly after NC State confirmed that Gottfried would be out after the season, Miller was being interviewed on NBC Sports Radio and denied any contact from NC State.

“No, that’s absolutely false, one hundred percent,” Miller said responding to reports that NC State had reached out regarding the job. “I haven’t heard from anyone from any university across the nation and I’m not expecting to hear from anyone anytime soon.”

Happ has 22 (4 in the second half) points for Wisconsin. They lead Michigan 47-45 with 10 minutes to go in the second half.

Potential 4 point play for Michigan. Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman hit the three and got fouled.

Wolverines on a 9-0 run now lead Wisconsin at home by 7 with 7 mins to play. This is a must win for Michigan. Badgers don't have Keonig.

Ann Arbor is UPSET CITY tonight! Michigan (Last Four In according to @ESPNLunardi) shocks No. 11 Wisconsin 64-58!

Have to say I thought D'Mitrik Trice would have more of an impact at Wisconsin. Freshman G was 2-15 from the floor in first start tonight.

.@XavierMBB's Trevon Blueitt another really good "small ball power forward." Who else out there fits that mold? Low & mid majors, too.

.@ZagMBB: 6th team to start at least 27-0 in the last 35 seasons. Gonzaga will try to be the 1st team in that group to win the title:

College Basketball Bubble Watch
Scarcity of mid-major teams has changed the bubble's shape
When it comes to getting in the NCAA tournament, power-conference teams always have the upper hand.

The selection committee insists it ignores conference affiliation when selecting teams, and there's no reason not to believe that; its members hail from all walks of college hoops life. Still, being a decent team in a power league means annually guaranteed opportunities against tourney competition -- an undeniable, deep-seated structural advantage most mid-majors simply don't enjoy. The mid-major teams' margin for error is always narrower. Throw in the exposure big schools get on television and the inequity of nonconference scheduling, and of course it's hard out here for a mid. It would almost be weird if it wasn't.

Thinking Bill Self should be @Big12Conference Coach of Year. Has changed style of play, handled adversity on/off court, has limited depth.

Kansas would be my national title pick if Bill Self could just clone Landon Lucas or find an extra Morris twin with remaining eligibility.
