March 16Mar 16 watch rt roll out a zone half-court defensive lockdown strategy - no wild flailing streetball - actual real strategery - no 3's from 37 while doubleteamed - no iso and pray nah we'll let it fly
March 16Mar 16 There is one reason we got in and that is Tre Johnson. They wanted him in the tourney.

March 16Mar 16 Just now, Pancho said: Yes Just now, The_Great_Hornsby said: Tuesday 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.

March 16Mar 16 Just now, Machinator said: 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. ESPN just switched it to Wed. So I guess they agreed with you

March 16Mar 16 Texas made it with room to spare. They could have survived three bid stealers. Edited March 16Mar 16 by Machinator
March 16Mar 16 Texas was ahead of Xavier, San Diego State, UNC, and all the other bubble teams. As expected.

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)
March 16Mar 16 12 minutes ago, The Dog said: 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. Edited March 16Mar 16 by Catdaddyhorn

March 16Mar 16 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

March 16Mar 16 Just now, dcar00 said: how many tournament bid stealers were there? None. Extremely chalky week.
March 16Mar 16 Just now, dcar00 said: how many tournament bid stealers were there? 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.

March 16Mar 16 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.

They haven’t looked like an NCAAT team since mid-January

March 16Mar 16 Just now, The_Great_Hornsby said: 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.
March 16Mar 16 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.
