NCAA BRACKET SHOW THREAD

[koleszar]

Wow we weren't even 1st team out.

Had an 18-15 Okie st. ahead of us. WTF was this committee looking at because now I have no idea what criteria they used.

 

[RUScrew85]

Just so everyone understands.

That MSU game at MSG being a “home” game just cost us the NCAA tournament.

How? Didn't we win that game?

Nope

 

[scarletrat]

I didn’t think they would have same team in Dayton in b2b years.
minny AD reps B1G I think on committee.

 

[WhichReligionIsRight]

Damn. Heart broken. Oh well, just move on and win the NIT dammit.

 

[RuBird]

Don't worry about others. Worry about yourself. If you don't do that you put your destiny in the hands of others that will decide it for you. The decision was made.

Can I worry that OSU game should have been a win and not a loss? Seriously that alone cost us a tournament bid.

 

[shields]

Wish Illinois had beaten Penn State.

 

[tm_nj]

Sounds like they counted us out after the Mag injury based on the chairman

 

[fatsam98]

The head of the committee just said player availability was factored in for rutgers. Unreal.

Did that ******* not watch the BTT and see we had finally figured it out? What a joke

 

[rucoe89]

The head of the committee just said player availability was factored in for rutgers. Unreal.

That was something we could control by recruiting better. We didn't and someone else decided it for us.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

**** IT i'M NOT WATCHING

 

[rob kight]

Maybe one last minute timeout at Minnesota would have changed the outcome of the game and NCAA selection.

 

[T2Kplus20]

Royally tanking the last month of the season has consequences. Why didn't we make it? The epic collapse against Minnesota.

Nuff Said!

 

[DHajekRC84]

Wow.. Crazy... but we had multiple opportunities to make it happen.. Minn, Nebraska, OSU, Temple.. sucks

That neebby team was hot and you did just watch OSU win two as a 13 right?

 

[Scarlet83]

Nevada had no effing business being in over us. No effing business.

We beat Nevada 8 out of 10 times.

 

[Rokodesh]

Don't worry about others. Worry about yourself. If you don't do that you put your destiny in the hands of others that will decide it for you. The decision was made.

You have to worry about others when you literally do side-by-side comparisons to determine which team makes it. Our résumé was deserving to make the tournament.

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

Gotta say…I have no desire to make a bracket or watch the tournament now.

I won’t watch a minute

 

[FastMJ]

Well … I will not watch a single NCAA game or fill out a single tourney bracket this year. Join the boycott.

Yeah like that’s going to generate any attention lol

 

[newell138]

Lax
Baseball
Basketball

No respect

 

[bac2therac]

Why are people getting angry at Bac and others who predicted we’d be in? As if it’s their fault lol

Weird take

Considering 95% plus of the brackets had Rutgers in then not sure what these guys want

 

[Scarlet1984]

Sounds like they counted us out after the Mag injury based on the chairman

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn’t understand it. Went from talking about Bill Self and then added “in addition to Rutgers”.

 

[Rokodesh]

Wow.. Crazy... but we had multiple opportunities to make it happen.. Minn, Nebraska, OSU, Temple.. sucks

Nobody can count Ohio State as a loss with a straight face. It's a shame it was held against us.

 

[Scarlet83]

I think you're on the right track. After the last couple of years of dogshit performances by the conference. Despite them saying they don't look at conference affiliation.

Nothing else makes sense to me. Just compare us to Nevada

We beat Nevada 8 out of 10 times, easy.

 

[rucoe89]

Can I worry that OSU game should have been a win and not a loss? Seriously that alone cost us a tournament bid.

Poor officiating. An issue for most of the season. Remember the Penn St player was out of bounds and Penn State was allowed to take those last couple of attempts. We got lucky there, but it was close. How about blantant pushes by Eady that were clear but not called. Hobbs has a voice in upgrading officiating. He needs to use it or leave us at their mercy again next year.

 

[RUPartisan]

This is one thing that Pike needs to remedy. Stop with the Schiano cream puff scheduling ooc. Play in a real preseason tournament.

 

[RUBlackout7]

The head of the committee just said player availability was factored in for rutgers. Unreal.

Yep basically said we weren’t the same team without Mag. Glad it took Pike 10 games to finally play Simpson. Too late by then.

 

[FIJI'83]

I didn’t think they would have same team in Dayton in b2b years.
minny AD reps B1G I think on committee.

Minny AD probably did not go to bat for us with any vigor. Our Football raided their coaching staff 2 years in a row.

 

[leftoright]

I won't be chained to the TV watching Barkley, Spike Lee and Wille ads

 

[Shell21]

 

[CodyRU]

Not sure I can stomach watching this tournament

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Considering 95% plus of the brackets had Rutgers in then not sure what these guys want

Almost everyone had us in. I won’t pay nearly as close attention to the so called professional pundits anymore. Who would think that Palm actually overvalued us?…lol

I actually think BAC does a better job than the committee and not because Rutgers got screwed…but because there is no politics with Bac and he does his homework.

 

[rucoe89]

You have to worry about others when you literally do side-by-side comparisons to determine which team makes it. Our résumé was deserving to make the tournament.

We wouldn't be having this conversation if we beat teams like Minnesota and Nebraska.

 

[chrism25]

How does an injury play into who is in and who is out. It is your record over the whole season. Should not have lost to Minnesota but should have still been in.

 

[The RUT]

Nope

Yes. That’s an additional Quad 1 win.

 

[Shell21]

nc state was 1-6 vs quad Q 1 and didn’t even have to play in play in game . what a joke

 

[bac2therac]

Winning on the road at a one seed is meaningless

 

[King of S]

NC State is a joke- Clemson beat them 3 times this year. NC State is 1-6 against Quad 1.

 

[leftoright]

RU wouldn't beat U C Santa Barabara?

 

[bac2therac]

nc state was 1-6 vs quad Q 1 and didn’t even have to play in play in game . what a joke

Committee bias for acc

Write it down

 

[kcg88]

The Mountain West is such a ******* scam of a conference.
