The tournament covers a team’s cost of flights, local transportation, hotel, per diem and practice time for the traveling party. There will be an NIL component to the Crown as well, though sources familiar with the tournament said those details were still being worked out.
The College Basketball Crown is a first-of-its-kind postseason event that creates more value for the college basketball ecosystem, scheduled between the Elite Eight and Final Four. The tournament will also feature an NIL prize fund that totals $500,000 for the semifinalists and finalists.
Over 156 Butler/Utah this line is moving against me big-time I just bet Butler again +3 that's 2 bets on them +3 and pk I do not know why its moving I see just the one guy is in the portal and also a guy is ? for Utah Cassia is out for Butler 5 pts a game and Ausar is ? for Utah 12 pts a game I have looked and looked to get updates on players that have went to portal for these 2 and only found the 1 I do like this over also, again this line has now moved 4 pts in a day anyone has info as to why feel free to share I have no clue why unless its just some services putting them out I do like the over both teams were giving up Big points lately, but the line move I have no clue I thought PK was a good line and I have theories as to when a line opens small like -1 1.5 and swings the other way to where they are favored and it is that the original fav covers ...please look things up there will be players out also am on Nebraska -5 today
I'll say this I like the idea of players going into the portal but still playing they said Utah had 7 players enter the portal but are still playing in this tourney, imagine if they didn't they would not have a team and the leading scorer for Butler is just resting said he had been playing injured the last month and wants to rest what I would say is you just had 3 weeks rest ...lol I mean for real , if I was playing I would want to play any games I could
Nebraska missed out on the NCAA Tournament, but they’re preparing for the 1st Round of the College Basketball Crown. However, head coach Fred Hoiberg revealed Rollie Worster won’t be playing in Las Vegas.
On Wednesday, Hoiberg confirmed Worster will be out for the next couple of weeks, due to a foot injury. That means he’ll be absent from the Cornhuskers’ clash with the Arizona State Sun Devils next Monday, and beyond if Nebraska wins their 1st Round game.
Several days later, Hall entered the transfer portal and a source told the Sentinel that the 6-foot-7, 235-pounder had received NIL offers from several schools in the range of $2.5 million. Those offers would likely be front-loaded to avoid infringing on the $20.8 million cap coming with revenue-sharing as part of the NCAA v. House settlement.
Hall then posted a video on social media showing himself back home in Cleveland, attending a Cavaliers game on Sunday while UCF was traveling to Las Vegas.
Without their leading scorer, the Knights will likely have to rely on Darius Johnson, Jordan Ivy-Curry, Dallan Coleman and Moustapha Thiam to carry the load. Benny Williams, Dior Johnson, Hendricks and Machowski also will be counted on.
Oregon State will be without its top three scorers and starters in forward Michael Rataj (16.9 ppg. 7.2 rpg.), center Parsa Fallah (12.9 ppg., 4.9 rpg.) and guard Nate Kingz (11.9 ppg.). The Beavers moved to the West Coast Conference in all sports except football after the collapse of the Pac-12.
This is the third straight postseason appearance by the Knights and the fifth under Dawkins.
Nebraska hasn't played since March 9, when a loss in its Big Ten regular-season finale to Iowa kept the Cornhuskers out of the conference tournament. Since that time, top assistant coach Adam Howard has departed to join the staff of new North Carolina State coach Will Wade.
Nonetheless, it's a chance for Nebraska's seniors -- including first-team all-Big Ten guard Brice Williams (20 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists per game) and forward Juwan Gary (14 points, 4.8 rebounds) -- to write a different ending to their college careers.
One senior, 7-foot-1 center Braxton Meah, is a game-time decision due to a lingering back injury that kept him out of Nebraska's past two games. And another, point guard Rollie Worster, has been shut down after fighting through a foot injury for the final three months of the season.
"He's been playing with a plate in his shoe," Hoiberg said. "He's been really, really sore. It just got to the point to where it's tough to put a lot of weight on it. The decision was made to put him in a boot."
Georgetown and Washington State will meet in the first round of the inaugural College Basketball Crown postseason tournament on Monday at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It will be the first ever meeting between the programs. Georgetown (17-15), which has clinched its first winning record since the 2018-19 season, will look a bit different in its first postseason action since the 2021 NCAA Tournament. "We're not going out there with a full deck, but we're going out there with some guys who are eager," said Hoyas coach Ed Cooley on Friday. "We're excited. Any time you can play in the postseason and this being the first ever Crown opportunity to play against another league. We'll try and represent the Big East the best way we can. We're excited to go, and we'll see where we end up." Since losing in the first round of the Big East tournament to DePaul nearly three weeks ago, the Hoyas have lost starter Drew Fielder to the transfer portal. The 6-foot-11 sophomore, originally a Providence recruit who then followed Cooley to Georgetown, started 31 games this season while averaging 7.1 points and 5.4 rebounds. Big East All-Freshman selection Thomas Sorber, who missed the final few weeks after requiring turf toe surgery, has entered his name in the 2025 NBA Draft with the option of returning to school. Sorber averaged 14.5 points and a team-high 8.5 rebounds in 24 games. Washington State (19-14) reached the postseason in coach David Riley's first season and its the fourth straight overall as a program. Just like the Hoyas, Riley's Cougars will be without two key players as starters Nate Calmese and Isaiah Watts entered the transfer portal since their West Coast Conference tournament loss to San Francisco on March 9. Calmese led Washington State in scoring (15.2 ppg) and assists (4.4 apg) while Watts averaged 11 points and shot 34.8 percent from 3-point range. Riley gave his thoughts on Tuesday about how a team can prepare to play while keeping an eye on the future with the portal. "It's busy," Riley said. "I think it's fun for me as a coach. There's never a month that's the same. Every month is something different and we have to go recruit players in the portal and we have to dive in and get to know all these people as humans over a week which is crazy in it of itself. It's a fun time." Georgetown, which hasn't won a postseason game since defeating Eastern Washington in the 2015 NCAA Tournament, is one of four Big East schools in the Crown while the Cougars are joined by Oregon State of the WCC. Washington State won a game in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, its first since 2008. Monday's winner will advance to play the winner of Nebraska and Arizona State on Wednesday in the quarterfinals. --Field Level Media
