The Layup Line — Another coach against Tournament expansion

Georgetown or West Virginia is going to be in a reevaulating process after tonight's game.

• Findlay Prep is looking less and less legitimate. This stuff just isn’t good for “high school,” prep or college basketball. {True Slant}

• Mark Few joins Jim Calhoun as coaches who have publicly gone against Tournament expansion. {USA Today}

• The best signs from “GameDay” Saturday. {That Fan}

• Before he lost against Tennessee Saturday John Calipari said doesn’t care about winning the SEC regular-season title because he’s focused on bigger goals for this team. Think about where Kentucky was 12 months ago. {ESPN}

• Language-bender Steve Rushin has a new book out. {Hartford Courant}

• John Feinstein will get a gig working at WFAN in New York and talking college hoops. {North Jersey}

• Gasaway uses the word hegemony and wins me over. Yes, announcers are 100 percent necessary to broadcasts. Maybe not to guys like John (and me?), but for 95 percent of the audience, play-by-play guys are a must. {Basketball Prospectus}

• Big 12 is a lock to get seven? I think the conference manages to mess it up and only send six. {Statesman}
