NCAA pay per round

I didn't realize the ncaa paid out to 6 years after for each unit or win. That adds up to a lot of money. With 5 teams winning in the first round plus the 2 units for WV and ISU qualifying that's a good chunk of change.

So the big 12 already has 12 units? I am probably getting something wrong here.

Anybody know what the payout is per unit this year?

Last years was 338,000 per unit each year for 6 years.

Getting some feedback on Greensboro

and the area around the arena from some buddies that are down there. Let's just say they are less than impressed by the restaurant/bar options that are available. One of them said, "You remember that sketchy area we walked through on the way to the Camping World Bowl? Well, this is significantly worse." Ruh roh. Let's hope the environment & outcome are better inside the arena.

Kayden Fish to state final

Kayden Fish’s Staley squad advanced to the Missouri Class 6 Final with a 68-42 win over Jackson this morning. Team is very balanced with three guys going Division 1 next year. The other two headed to Indiana State and Colorado State. They also have a 6’7” soph who looked pretty good.

Was not a big stat day for Fish. He did guard one of Jackson’s better players. Final tomorrow at 2:00. It can be seen on MSHAA.tv, but will cost you $15.75. Also during the ISU WBB game.

One Shining Moment

I am watching One Shining Moment for each year since they've been doing it. It's on the March Madness app. I've been looking for Iowa State clips of course. It's gets tedious listening to the song over and over, but the memories of the tournament are fun to watch. Commercial breaks are welcome as it is a long program.

There are a lot of memories of teams that have had their moment in the limelight. Some programs have been there forever, others a short run of glory and others their one time on the big stage. Some of the great coaches that have lead programs that have been there forever are now under new leadership and their future may not live up the the past. A lot of coaches look a heck of a lot younger in some of these clips. So many great coaches have come and go for many of these teams, I can't begin to name them without leaving out more than I could name.

Watching this made me realize that Tim Floyd was hired at Iowa State almost 29 years ago. Are you kidding me? How could it have been that long ago? A lot of brackets have come and gone in that time.

***WRESTLING: Carr, Coleman Advance to NCAA Quarterfinals***

Iowa State Media Relations

TULSA, Okla. – Iowa State pushed two through to the quarterfinals during Session II of the NCAA Championships Thursday evening inside the BOK Center. David Carr and Marcus Coleman each earned second-round victories to stay on the championship side of their respective brackets.

Iowa State sits tied for 13th place with 12.0 points after day one action. All eight Cyclones are still alive for day two with two wrestlers on the championship side and six in the wrestlebacks.

Carr was Iowa State's first quarterfinalist. He controlled from start to finish as he picked up his third win of the season against Northern Iowa's Austin Yant. Carr secured six takedowns in the 15-4 victory.

The win sets Carr up with a quarterfinal match up against 2021 165-pound NCAA Champion Shane Griffith of Stanford.

Coleman won a nail-biter over Iowa's Abe Assad in the second round. The pair were deadlocked at 1-1 entering TB-1 but the Cyclone managed a 30-second ride out in the first half. Assad gave Coleman an escape, looking for the winning takedown, but Coleman managed to evade the Hawkeye for a 2-1 win.

Casey Swiderski lived to fight another day with a 7-3 win over Pennsylvania's Carmen Ferrante in the consolation first round. Swiderski had three takedowns in the match, including two in the final 30 seconds to seal the victory.

Jason Kraisser also picked up a win in the wrestlebacks with a 7-2 victory over Appalachian State's Tommy Askey. Kraisser was active early with a takedown in the first period before adding another in the third.

Zach Redding fell to the wrestlebacks after a 12-4 defeat to the No. 3 seed Vito Arujau of Cornell.

Paniro Johnson couldn't overcome an early 6-0 deficit after Penn State's Shayne Van Ness took him feet-to-back in the first period. Johnson battled back but couldn't dig out of the hole as he fell, 14-8.

At 197 pounds, Yonger Bastida was much the aggressor but couldn't finish several prime opportunities against No. 4 seed Ethan Laird of Rider. Bastida was in deep on a leg several times but was eventually countered by Laird and gave up a takedown with 22 seconds remaining, falling 3-1.

Sam Schuyler dropped a heartbreaker, 2-1, to Northwestern's No. 9 Lucas Davison. Schuyler began the final period on bottom, trailing 1-0, when Davison returned Schuyler to the mat hard and the Cyclone was forced to take injury time. The mat return was reviewed for an illegal slam, but no call was made. Out of the review, Davison was given his choice, chose bottom, and earned an escape. Schuyler received a late point for stalling but was unable to secure the winning takedown.

Up Next
Session III of the NCAA Championships is set for 11 a.m. on ESPNU. Quarterfinals, as well as the consolation second and third rounds, will be contested.

Besides Eustachy, I think for the first time…

I legitimately feel like we may win a national championship. Not this year, but in general. Our basketball program is recruiting at a level that will allow you to compete at the very top, and we have a coach that emphasizes the traits (defense and rebounding) that can make that happen.

I loved the playing style with Fred, but always felt we had a bit of a ceiling due to lack of emphasis on defense. Kane’s team before Niang’s injury maybe had a shot but that’s four more games they’d have had to win.

Anyone else feel similarly?
