As a Board member for the City of Dayton CoC... STFU! 

the title of this thread is getting increasingly wrong

My thought is that they want to give equal rest to all First Four teams, so if Texas is in the Friday/Sunday pod they have to play Wednesday.

I mean I guess? He kind of had to win that game. 

Watching Omaha versus Vols- in-Tears respond to seed/bid is hilarious. Bitches.

ESPN just switched it to Wed. So I guess they agreed with you

i think it was all of the metrics rickyweed posted this morning

they had to make up a stat to get the heels in

Good to see TFC may get to keep his new tradition of exiting on rd 1. 

Texas made it with room to spare. They could have survived three bid stealers.

Except there are three play in games that feed a fri/sun regional.

so someone has to play Tuesday (to have 2 tues games and 2 wed games in Dayton)

So UNC was last team in?

Yep,  and we were at the top of the last 4 in so it turns out we weren't in much jeopardy of missing the tourney.  There had to be 4 conference tourney upsets to knock us out.

Congrats!! Not expecting them to do the right thing, but thought they should.  Quad 1 wins for the M-F’ing win!! 

WVU had 6 Q1 wins, but they didn't have Tre Johnson!

It was obvious our resume was better than all the bubble teams. At least the committee got that right.

Not a bad ratings draw for a play in game. 

Happy we're in but this bloated bracket really kills the importance of playing regular season games. I'll never get worked up about losing to a team like South Carolina ever again

It's been a 68-team field for 15 years now

Presumably we’ll be the late game that night? Assuming the 16/16 game will be first…

how many tournament bid stealers were there?

None. Extremely chalky week.

Just now, dcar00 said:

1 and it wasn't really a bid stealer to be honest.

Colorado State was already a bubble team and they likely just replaced another bubble team (i.e. Boise State). One of those teams was likely going to get in either way.

I missed it.

 

where are the first/second round games if we get past Xavier?

and what days

If we get past Xavier, then it's Illinois. 2nd round is winner of Kentucky and Troy (Go Trojans!!!)

There's zero reason WV should have been left out but the only reasoning is probably the predictive and result-based metrics. 

Kenpom #53, BPI #51, KPI #48, SOR #43, and WAB #42. The metrics hated WV.

Yea but this time is a travesty because our shitty team…benefited from it?

Someone mentioned that the committee may have taken the Devries injury into account. They haven’t looked like an NCAAT team since mid-January

Penny for CDC’s thoughts?

Helps when the NC AD is the head of the committee lol

Yeah but it wasn't just UNC that got in over WV. It was a lot of bubble teams.

We might be the only bubble team with a better resume than WV. 

All this has taught me is that Lunardi is really bad at his job. 

It's insane he's some authority on this when he's ranked #118 in bracketmatrix. He's terrible.
