BACATOLOGY: NCAA ANALYSIS 2/14 UPDATE 2/19 ON PAGE 17

[kcg88]

Florida was down 11 when I looked last, now tied 45-45.

 

[fluoxetine]

The bracket should just be 64 teams. 68 teams in a single elimination bracket doesn’t make sense to anyone except for those counting the ad revenue.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Good bracket BAC - very good point about the NET (that it will be where it should be if RU wins the games it needs to) and RU in general (not being in a position to back into the field). Either we play our way in - or we don’t.

The question mark scenerio would be a 18-12 regular season finish landing us in the double bye slot in the BIG tourney. Honestly not sure if we’d need to win that first game, but we probably couldn’t afford to lay a complete egg.

Is that possible?

yeah but even if they get this and for now it would be Q1 win but could easily change, no one is going to consider this is a good win, they are going to need a helluva lot more but yeah i want them to lose

Objectively true, but as a Rutgers fan I appreciate it.

 

[bac2therac]

Is that possible?

well MSU is now 9-5 with a rough 5 game stretch. If OSU also finish 12-8, RU gets the tiebreak. although they get 6 of 8 at home so they would have to slip up...but Wisky could also drop to12-8

You can just take away AQ status from some conference tourney winners. Let the best play.

 

[fatsam98]

Wtf is Duke doing

No way.

 

[kcg88]

Jesus christ, Duke.

 

[bac2therac]

The more Duke loses the less impressive beating them becomes

 

[kcg88]

Bad foul call on Duke there. That's a clean block.

 

[fatsam98]

Yeah but the lack of composure they've shown the last 3 minutes or so is crazy

 

[kcg88]

They're running the offense we ran at the end against Houston.

 

[kcg88]

Should be a Duke bucket.

 

[bac2therac]

That is a bucket..wake up refs

You could expand to like 80 and have the actual bottom 32 play the first round and give 48 byes. But if you start giving that many at large bids your are going to have to either
(a) give bids to some power conference teams with pretty bad records
Or
(b) pass those up in favor of worse mid major teams with better records

both of which are kinda bad in my opinion

Fire K. Hire Pitino

 

[fatsam98]

Fire K. Hire Pitino

K isn't coaching, he's not feeling well

 

[kcg88]

Horrid final possession by Florida. They might be done.

 

[bac2therac]

Shot almost went in but did it leave hands after zeo..have to see relay

Where is coach k

 

[ScarletWalk11]

Coach K is sick. Scheyer coached the whole game.

 

[kcg88]

Texas tied with the ball, but OU will have a possession after.

 

[bac2therac]

Texas with the ball tied at 66...24 sec

Omg i love this time of year

 

[fatsam98]

Florida loses at Texas A&M. Both teams looked putrid everytime I switched over.

 

[kcg88]

Florida loses, bye bye bubble.

 

[kcg88]

Texas is seriously freaking incompetent.

 

[bac2therac]

Awful travel..OU can win

 

[kcg88]

I bet Texas fouls on this last possession. They've been sloppy defensively all night.

 

[bac2therac]

Florida loses as A&M breaks 8 game losing skid

 

[bac2therac]

Merrimack wins at Sacred Heart

 

[kcg88]

Memphis wins at Cincy. VCU wins at Fordham.

 

[kcg88]

I bet Texas fouls on this last possession. They've been sloppy defensively all night.

Allowed a wide open 3 pointer instead. Lucky to go to OT.

 

[fatsam98]

OT at Oklahoma. Maybe I'm biased but we're so much better than all these other bubble teams. Frustrating the hole we dug ourselves

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Coach K is sick. Scheyer coached the whole game.

A taste of their future

 

[bac2therac]

Say what you want about the Big 12vbut they know to schedule in the OOC to build great NET numbers though having 4 less schools helps

 

[bac2therac]

A taste of their future

Amaker heartbroken according to scroll

 

[Scangg]

Is that possible?

It seems possible since right now we have the tie breaker against Purdue Wisconsin OSU MSU... also Iowa Michigan... the top 7 other schools outside us and Illinois. Wild.

If we finish top 4 and get a double bye in the B1G, the committee is not going to leave us out. They would look foolish. It would also mean they would be taking as many as 4 or 5 teams below us. The optics would be terrible and it would be disrespectful to the B1G as a conference to have the 4th place double bye team omitted.

I know none of this conference stuff is in the criteria, but it's still human beings making the decisions, and Rutgers would have enough to point to on their resume and say they desevrve to be in legitimately. Just like there will be warts to point to if you don’t think they should be in. The unique resume will only naturally make people think of the bigger picture when trying to decide if they deserve to be in

 

[fatsam98]

What is with the guy counting down the shotclock every possession in Norman? Almost as distracting as the trees painted on the court at Oregon.

Yeah, like... isn't there a student section to do that for the home team?
