BACATOLGY 3/4 : NCAA TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS

[BigEastPhil]

Who will replace Neptune as HC ?

He’s dragged down the Nova brand

 

[fluoxetine]

MSU wins. They win ugly. They play hard. Not sure I’d pick them even first round.

Annoys me to no end that we gave away home game last year to MSG and then an away game last year.

And then again away game this year. So ridiculously unfair.

Would have loved MSU at home this year.

Rip away!

 

[BigEastPhil]

Must have missed this or forgot about it : Merrimack and Sacred Heart to MAAC next year

I think that ll give MAAC 13 members.

Merrimack in NEC championship game in NEC vs either Wagner or CCSU.

NEC plays all their tourney games at court of highest seed.

I remember when tourney was held in Trenton for 1-2 years many moons ago.

That had to be a financial disaster for the NEC.

 

[G- RUnit]

Go with that. Lol! So true! Trust me. Argued with BAC many a time last ten years. Ignore at your own peril. Just sayin! UCLA, Washington, 0regon…

Not true?? lol

 

[G- RUnit]

Nova playing themselves out and my guess coach gets fired

 

[fatsam98]

A little life from nova and Creighton went cold. 40-29 bluejays at the half

 

[bac2therac]

Nova dug such a big hole and they were as close as 8 I think but its up to 12...running out of time with 6:41 going to need one last push

 

[bac2therac]

Texas A&M huge win at Ole Miss 86-60. The 4 Q4 losses are a big issue but lets see how things stand tomorrow...there are very good things on this resume and the Nova result is huge for this bulky loss team

 

[bac2therac]

Kansas State going to stun Iowa State damaging the Cyclones potential #2 seeding. The Wildcats do have very good things on their resume but might have one loss too many. Will at least be on the board for consideration

 

[bac2therac]

Richmond absolutely hammered by George Mason. Spiders are still the AQ from the A10 as they are clinched the regular season title but their at large chances which were less than 25% coming into today are about half that now.

 

[fatsam98]

Nova back to within 5 ugh

 

[bac2therac]

Oklahoma loses at Texas by double digits and Sooners are a lock yet and very well could be slipping to first four status. No bad losses is a big plus but only 2 wins vs teams in field and just 3-10 in Q1 even though 9-11 Q1/2. Likely draw Texas again in Big 12 tourney

 

[bac2therac]

Nova closed it to 63-59...wow. Love seeing teams with the season on the line

 

[RUJMM78]

Nova back to within 5 ugh

Villanova has players that can create and make shots off the dribble.Creighton has controlled the game but are now in a scoring drought at crunch time.

 

[bac2therac]

67-64 with 59.6 to go

 

[bac2therac]

Mississippi State crawling back now down to South Carolina 75-73 with 40 seconds left. Bulldogs needs this game or they are very vulnerable

 

[shields]

Go Creighton.

 

[fatsam98]

Heartbreaking for Villanova

 

[shields]

Yes. Lose Nova.

 

[bac2therac]

wow....Nova ties it on a bail out on a foul after taking a horrible 3 point shot and then Creighton guy hits shot with .2 to win.

Novas bubble just lost a lot of air. Again not impossible but only 1 15 loss school has ever been selected as an at large. Nova at 17-14 will get a bonus extra vs a gtown or de paul by tough to overcome that eventually 15...I think the committee has wrapped up the field before the Big East tourney finals

 

[RUJMM78]

Go Creighton.

They make last second shot to win the game 69-67.

 

[Retired711]

They make last second shot to win the game 69-67.

If the stats on line are right, Nova had only four free throws and Creighton three. The refs must have decided to just 'em play.

 

[RAC93]

Mississippi State falls 77-75 to South Carolina. At 19-12, officially in trouble....3-8 in Q1 and 7-11 in Q1/2 with a Q4 loss and 2-8 road mark

That is an underwhelming resume. Where do you have Miss State now?

 

[fatsam98]

Jeez Houston up 29-9 on Kansas

 

[bac2therac]

That is an underwhelming resume. Where do you have Miss State now?

they actually havent lost yet..my tracker showed game over at 77-75...they are in overtime right now....SC up 87-85

if they do end up losing, they are in danger of falling into first four...we shall see. Oklahoma another power 6 that could fall into that group.

 

[bac2therac]

SC up 3 30 seconds

 

[KK1827]

Havent followed college bball much this year but what do we have to do to make NIT?

 

[bac2therac]

SC up 3, 10 sec

 

[bac2therac]

USF down 10 at Tulsa late, they already won the AAC but this would be a crushing Quad 3 loss for their at large hopes

 

[bac2therac]

this time it is final. Mississippi State loses 93-89...fall to 19-12, 3-8 Q1, 7-11 Q1/2, 1 Q4 loss, 2-8 road mark

 

[bac2therac]

The reality is most years Oklahoma and Mississippi State would be endanger of falling from the field. Their risk might be falling into first four. The bubble is pretty weak right now. There are not many schools realistically competing for bids and do note 2 bids could open up if Dayton and USF end up being the AQs from their conferences

 

[bac2therac]

Havent followed college bball much this year but what do we have to do to make NIT?

will likely have to go 18-16...win tomorrow, win first round game then upset Iowa/Nebby/Michigan State/Wisky whoever is 5

 

[shields]

Season probably over soon. KK your Oklahoma State coach is 12-18 this year.

 

[bac2therac]

Va Tech stays on the fringes with a win over Notre Dame...18-13 with wins over Iowa State, Boise State, Clemson, Virginia

 

[bac2therac]

top seed Vermont survived serious upset by from Albany winning 75-72 in the America East quarters

 

[bac2therac]

Colorado State struggling at Air Force in the 2nd half in what would be a damaging Quad 4 loss.

 

[KK1827]

Season probably over soon. KK your Oklahoma State coach is 12-18 this year.

Interesting. Him and pike have traditionally both been bubble guys looks like both stink this year

 

[bac2therac]

USF goes down 76-70...will be very tough to get at large with the overall metrics and 1 Q3 and 2 Q4

 

[RUPete]

Indiana State crushes NI goes to conference championship game. Good result for bubble teams.

 

[RUPete]

Jeez Houston up 29-9 on Kansas

Yeah, they’re crushing them.
