Part 6 of our year-by-year deep dives looking at the NCAA Tournament bubbles past brings us to the years 2010-14. The 68-team tourney arrives, TV commentators go ballistic about VCU’s selection in its Final Four year, and inspired picks in 2012 and 2013 are followed by a decided shift in committee philosophy the next year.
Bubbles, Sitting on the Fence and Brackets Part 5: 2005-09
Part 5 of our series recalling, researching and reviewing NCAA Tournament Selection Sundays of the past looks at the years 2005-09. Included: Jim Nantz and Billy Packer tee off on the MVC and CAA in 2006, the same year the Valley got four bids but probably (our opinion) should’ve had six.

The Morning Dish – Wednesday, January 15, 2020
In a short time, a lot changed at Clemson without even considering the football team’s tough night on Monday night. Plus a dramatic ending in the Big Ten seems par for the course, an injured star looks just fine in a big win, and the Buckeyes and Jayhawks win while short-handed.
