My, would you look at the time! The offseason is both too long and too short—I’ve been anticipating this moment where college basketball is back in our lives for seven ceaseless months… And yet, visions of the prior season remain in my memory bank like their events just played out yesterday. I think that justContinue reading “Bauertology: 11/3/25 (Preseason)”

Bauertology: 3/16/25 (FINAL)
Well, this is it, y’all. In less than half an hour, we will have a bracket. Months and months of anticipation, poring over résumés, and fighting hordes of angry fans (heh) will come to a head within the next 30 minutes. It’s a blast to do this every year, and for each and every oneContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/16/25 (FINAL)”
Bauertology: 3/12/25
Better late than never, eh? Apologies for the extremely late bracket—one posted whilst conference tournament games are being played—but I promised a projection on Wednesday, and I have delivered! Yay. That said, I wouldn’t take today’s projection super seriously. I did throw it together fairly quickly, in the span of about three or four hours,Continue reading “Bauertology: 3/12/25”
Bauertology: 3/8/25
A week and a day—that’s all the time left between us and the Madness. And thank goodness for that! Not only because I want to savor these final fleeting moments of pre-tournament goodness during Champ Week, but also because today’s bracket is kind of a mess. Any time you have a major shift at theContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/8/25”
Bauertology: 3/5/25
What’s this? Mid-week Bauertology? The biblical end of times must be upon us! (That, or, y’know, the final couple weeks before Selection Sunday. One or the other.) The countdown to judgment day rages on, now down to just as 11, as mid-major conference tournaments continue to gain steam. The ASUN kicked us off on Sunday,Continue reading “Bauertology: 3/5/25”
Bauertology: 2/28/25
Just one more sleep. Then, when you wake up, the greatest month of the year will be here. Folks, we are officially on March’s doorstep. The countdown to Selection Sunday has crept under 20, and the start of conference tournament play is now just three days away, as the ASUN kicks us off on SundayContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/28/25”
Bauertology: 2/21/25
Good LORD, this bubble is gross. Sorry if that’s not the most couth way to introduce this week’s Bauertology, but it simply has to be said. We’ve lamented about bad bubbles in the past, to the point that it’s basically become a yearly tradition, but they truly have never been this bad. You want proof?Continue reading “Bauertology: 2/21/25”
Bauertology: 2/14/25
Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all! My gift of love to you is a new Bauertology bracket. About damn time—only been a week and a half since the last one! Though, for me, tomorrow is much more of a holiday than today. (Save your bachelor jokes.) The reason is that tomorrow brings with it the annual topContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/14/25”
Bauertology: 2/3/25
Life as a mid-major was already tough. We didn’t need to make it any tougher. But we did anyway. If you’ve been keeping an eye on the seed lists that I include at the bottom of each of these Bauertology posts, you’ve probably noticed that there hasn’t been much activity in the “bids by conference”Continue reading “Bauertology: 2/3/25”
Bauertology: 1/27/25
Oh, boy. We’ve already reached the contentious time of year where bubble team résumés look absolutely disgusting. It’s almost a fact of life at this point that the bracketology process of selecting which teams that reside right near the at-large cut line get to play in March Madness—and which ones get to watch from home—isContinue reading “Bauertology: 1/27/25”
