Selection Sunday is finally in sight, which will thankfully halt all the projecting, speculating, and (ugh) lobbying concerning who's in and who's out of the first "normal" NCAA men's basketball tournament in three years.
John Calipari is lobbying. Of course he is. The Kentucky coach has been shouting from the mountain tops, or nearest Zoom room, that the SEC deserves eight teams in this year's Big Dance. Saturday, via Twitter, Calipari expanded the number of those deserving to nine.
"Any team in the SEC that's 9-9 should be in the NCAA Tournament," Cal tweeted. "The top four teams in our league went 35-1 at home. Crazy! We are the best league and our teams deserve that respect!!"
