UMBC #16 defeats #1 Virginia (2018) "A 16-seed beating a No. 1 seed was right up there with hell freezing over, pigs flying, and Tristan Thompson staying faithful in a relationship. Good thing no one told UMBC that." George Mason to Final Four..... (2006) "George Mason didn't get lucky in 2006. The school pulled upset after upset to prove they belonged on the biggest stage of the NCAA Tournament. The Colonials ran through the competition reads like a hit list targeting the most prestigious programs in the country. It started with an improbable win against Michigan State, which was then followed up a close win against North Carolina. Wichita State was the next victim in the Sweet 16, but nothing will ever top their two-point win against UConn, which propelled George Mason to the Final Four—the first double-digit seed to reach those heights in the tournament's history.

March 13, 20196 yr Someone's bubble popped It still bugs me how 4 teams get boned for playing in Dayton instead of getting the full experience and getting their shit pushed in by a 1 seed. Dayton should be called the bubble off. Fill all of the 11s with teams that win the Dayton games. Power conference schools already get the entire season to make a resume...the 1 bid league schools who go to Dayton have to win the conference.

Yeah, I could see this as a better idea. that making two sets of 16s play each other. I would also make it so that half the bids go to mid majors that won their regular season conference but lost their tournament, as long as they had a Top 50 net.

I think this is fair, maybe add an SOS requirement as well.
March 13, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, Machinator said: I think this is fair, maybe add an SOS requirement as well. Agree, if a mid/small major is willing to go out and play a tough as shit noncon so their SOS is top 60-70 and then they finish second in their league they should get a chance over P5 teams that have a built in conference SOS advantage and play cream puff noncon. There is no reason a P5 program should play a SOS less than 75 just based on how the schedules play out. Those teams have all year to prove they are "winners" instead of "we're good losers". Let a 25 win lower team in the tourney instead of the middling P5 team. I'm either all black or all white on the issue here. I either want more small teams over middling big teams or I want you to line up the 68 best teams and let them in. Disregard conference tourneys and just rank them 1-68 and let them in. Seed them based on resume but if we have a 1-25 ranking there is no reason we can't have a 1-68 ranking without looking at everyone's resume. My ideal situation is that P5 tells the NCAA to fuck off, we go to four 16 team conferences that govern themselves, and have a tourney between those 64 teams at the end of the year. It'll never happen but conference alignment like this solves a fuckload of problems that the NCAA currently has.
