2027 Postseason

16 of our teams reached the postseason this year, a record number. Unfortunately, we had no teams around at the end. We had 1 team that made history, in the wrong way, and a Cinderella team. The fact that we had so many teams in the NCAA Tournament and no feature games, just about sums it up. Let's get to the postseason recap, as painful as it may be.

Notre Dame (Al Mighty) -- 28-7, 15-3 ACC.

3/19/27- NCAA Midwest Region First Round vs. (15) Chicago State (W 65-57).
3/21/27- NCAA Midwest Region Second Round vs. (7) Gonzaga (W 92-70).
3/25/27- NCAA Midwest Region Semifinal vs. (3) Baylor (L 89-81).

The good news is that the Fighting Irish far exceeded what they have in the past, at least under the Al Mighty tenure. The other good news is that Coach Mighty accomplished the board's request of getting the team to the Sweet Sixteen. The bad news? Sweet Sixteen was it. Still, a great season for Coach Mighty and the Irish, a season that should get him off the hot seat, at least for 1 year.

North Florida (Felix Abel)-- 16-16, 8-6 Atlantic Sun.

3/16/27- CIT First Round at (1) UC Davis (L 51-42).

The Ospreys finish with a whimper, but they can take pride in at least making the postseason.

St. John's (Dean Hoo) -- 27-10, 12-6 Big East.

3/19/27- NCAA South Region First Round vs. (13) Kennesaw State (W 61-56).
3/21/27- NCAA South Region Second Round vs. (12) Fordham (W 75-57).
3/26/27- NCAA South Region Semifinal vs. (1) Wisconsin (W 84-52).
3/28/27- NCAA South Region Championship vs. (3) Florida State (L 73-71).

The Red Storm end their up and down season by hammering the #1 seed by 32 points, then losing by 2 to the #3 seed. Not the season Coach Hoo was hoping for, but still, a 25+ win season, nothing to sneeze at.

Sacramento State (David Ginsberg) -- 24-10, 14-4 Big Sky.

3/18/27- NCAA West Region First Round vs. (4) Long Beach State (W 81-71).
3/20/27- NCAA West Region Second Round vs. (5) Colorado State (W 75-64).
3/26/27- NCAA West Region Semifinal vs. (8) Cal St. Northridge (L 82-57).

Well, this takes care of the Cinderella team that I talked about, but what a disappointing effort in their Sweet Sixteen game. Still, Coach Ginsberg has a lot to be proud of.

Northwestern (Ess Vee) -- 24-9, 14-4 Big Ten.

3/19/27- NCAA West Region First Round vs. (16) Maryland Eastern Shore (L 81-71).

Sigh! Let's give Coach Vee and the Wildcats credit, they were just expected to make the NCAA Tournament, certainly not as a #1 seed. But they got there, and they didn't take care of business. The wrong side of history to be on, for sure.

FIU (Brett Hawkins) -- 20-14, 11-7 Conference USA.

3/17/27- NIT West Region Second Second Round vs. (5) LSU (W 63-44).
3/21/27- NIT West Region Semifinal at (1) Lehigh (W 75-67).
3/26/27- NIT West Region Championship vs. (2) UAB (L 67-63).

Not a bad effort for the Golden Panthers. I'm sure they are disappointed, as they wanted more. But still, a 20 win season is alright.

Fairfield (Ariel Pryde) -- 22-12, 15-5 MAAC.

3/19/27- NCAA East Region First Round vs. (3) Duke (L 90-67).

No surprises here for the Stags, as Duke takes care of business. Fairfield really started slipping the last month of the season, they could have been a lot better seed if they hadn't finished 6-6 in their last 12 games. As it stands, the goal of playing in the NCAA Tournament was met.

Bryant (Rob Nielsen) -- 14-20, 7-11 Northeast.

3/16/27- NCAA First Four vs. IUPUI (W 82-74).
3/18/27- NCAA East Region First Round vs. (1) Providence (L 86-67).

Congrats to Coach Nielsen, who got his team to the NCAA Tournament with a losing record, and won a game. The Bulldogs played Providence fairly tough until they ran out of gas.

Wagner (Will Brown) -- 23-8, 15-3 Northeast.

3/18/27- NIT Midwest Region Second Round at (4) Drake (L 66-53).

The Seahawks also have a disappointing end, as they expected to be in the NCAA Tournament, then lost in their first NIT game. Amazing how that seems to happen. Still a great season though, as they were only expected to compete for the Northeast title, certainly not win it by such a comfortable margin.

Stanford (Benito Sanchez) -- 22-10, 13-5 Pac 12.

3/19/27- NCAA South Region First Round vs. (11) Iowa State (L 72-49).

It's almost as if the Cardinal forgot to show up against Iowa State. Definitely not the way they wanted to finish their season.

UCLA (Tim Shepard) -- 23-8, 13-5 Pac 12.

3/19/27- NCAA West Region First Round vs. (15) Delaware (W 96-93).
3/21/27- NCAA West Region Second Round vs. (7) Pepperdine (L 64-61).

2 tough games in the NCAA Tournament for the Bruins. Both 3 point results, they won 1, lost 1. Another team that was expecting a deeper run in the tournament. The board certainly was: they were thinking Final Four. No matter though, Coach Shepard need not worry, he is currently 3rd in the nation for coaches in career wins (at least in this dynasty). Don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon.

Alabama (Roy Rogers) -- 18-14, 14-4 SEC.

3/17/27- NIT Midwest Region Second Round vs. (6) Tennessee Tech (L 77-67).

Ugh! Another early exit for one of our teams expected to make a deeper run in their postseason tournament. This time it was the Crimson Tide. No surprise, they struggled with non-conference teams all season. Coach Rogers might be in a bit of trouble, as the Tide were expected to be in the Sweet Sixteen this season, and not the NIT Sweet Sixteen.

Alabama State (Randolph Childress) -- 18-15, 13-5 SWAC.

3/16/27- NIT South Region First Round at (7) Louisiana Tech (L 77-69).

A gallant effort for the Hornets in their NIT loss, they actually led at halftime, but couldn't sustain it. The board wanted them in the NCAA Tournament, but winning the SWAC regular season title should suffice.

Arkansas Pine Bluff (B.B. Gunn) -- 15-19, 9-9 SWAC.

3/16/27- NCAA First Four vs. North Texas (L 93-86).

Credit to the Golden Lions for getting into the NCAA Tournament, but unfortunately they fell short in their First Four game. Coach Gunn still hasn't given UAPB the kind of production they expected, and he has to be a bit concerned that if he doesn't pick it up, his 2nd stop will end up much like his 1st.

Troy (Benton Gale) -- 19-15, 12-8 Sun Belt.

3/17/27- CBI First Round vs. (11) Arkansas (L 70-51).

Tough draw for the Trojans, especially as a higher seed. You almost feel like the seeds should have been reversed. As it stands, Troy saw a postseason berth for the 2nd straight season, even if the goal was the NCAA Tournament.

San Diego (Charlie Shocker) -- 24-10, 13-5 WCC.

3/19/27- NCAA East Region First Round vs. (5) Toledo (L 83-77).

The Toreros overachieved this season, but couldn't get an NCAA Tournament win. Still, a great season that should see Coach Shocker in the mix for some Coach of the Year awards.
