If we were in the Big Ten

[Sean Miller Fan]

would we be going to the NCAAT? Bracket Matrix has them getting 12 in. Has 2-5 OSU as a 5 seed. They are a near lock even if they go 7-13. Only NW and Nebraska are outside the Top 50 so you get no bad losses and every win you get is a quality win.

Rutgers is a near lock. Are they that much better than us?

We have a long ways to go before the brackets come out. They will not get 12 teams into the NCAA tournament.

I don't think they get 12. I think 10 is the absolute minimum with a chance at 11.

 

[ameoba defense]

If we win enough games, we'll get in. If not, we won't. The B10 and BE has a lot of teams in now because they did better ooc than the ACC did. Now that they're playing each other, the losses will begin to pile up for the lesser teams, knocking them out of contention.

Yep, Rutgers looked like the better team at the Pete. Try harder next time.

That's what I am saying. Rutgers is a near lock. Yet, Pitt seemed to have better players and a better team.

Okay, we'll put you down for 10.5 then.

wait a sec. what's the most a conference ever got into the tournament in one year? I think big east with 11 the one year, right? So we are saying that the big 10 can break that record? really?

The Big 10, or BiG or whatever it is, needs to straighten out this name thing to verify it's greatness. The Almighty 15 or the All Powerful 18 or something.

Yes, 12 teams are ranked 8-49 so they could easily get 11 in. Maybe 12. And there's no unwinnable games. The 12 teams are all about the same. Rutgers has the 3rd highest NET rank so what does that tell you?

That college basketball doesn’t have that many good teams?

The NET sucks? The Big 10 will only get 2 in?

Actually, it tells me nothing.

That too. Rutgers is looking at a Top 4 seed while I'd argue Pitt is the better team and may not make the NIT. The ACC better get its sh!t straight.

Their NET is 18.

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

Actually it tells me that the NCAA tournament has too many teams in it. But we love it at 64 (I refuse to acknowledge the play in games) and it makes money so a lot of below avg teams will indeed be in tournament.

Ain’t no way Rutgers is a top 4 seed.

Rutgers isnt a good basketball team. The fact they are running through the Big Ten is an indictment of that league and NET

So Pitt is better than Rutgers, but Rutgers is looking at a 4 seed because the Big 10 is a lousy league and NET is a lousy system, but it's the ACC that needs to get it's sh!t straight?

What do you propose they do?

Hire better coaches. BC and Wake need to make SEC-type hires.

So the ACC needs to get better, which would make it even harder for Pitt to run through it. But despite Pitt being a better team, Rutgers is a 4 seed because they are running through the Big 10. So does Pitt need the ACC to get better or worse?

It seems like you are contradicting yourself, or haven't thought through this completely.

yeah, im kinda confused here too. i mean, normally i'd get this line of thinking. ACC is usually a very respected hoops conference so if were in big 10 we'd be better but this year the big 10 is a thousand times better than the acc so it's not making much sense..

Rutgers seems to be winning games in a very good conference. i mean, that's kind of the goal here i'd guess. acc has like 2, maybe 3 good teams in it.. so if anything, if Rutgers was in acc, they'd probably be even a higher seed than they are now..

so in short, what the hell are you talking about?

 

[Goldbergfan]

Lets see. The Big10 is so awesome the entire league might make the dance, and the ACC needs to get better by hiring coaches from a league that is far inferior to the awesome Big10. Seems someone forgot which league he was bragging about. But at least we know he is sure the league Pitt is in sucks probably because Pitt is in it. Yeah, he wins the honor of all time biggest TROLL

 

[PittAU]

......life would suck.

I thought this was a finish the sentence exercise.

 

[Pittisit4me]

I don't care how many they get in , I will not be picking a Big-10 team to win my bracket. They have alot of solid teams but none of them I have seen can put together a deep run. Even Michigan st. and Michigan seem a little off compared to their usual teams.

The ACC has a coaching problem.

UNC and UVa are down but will be back so I'm not worried about them.

Syracuse is slipping under Boeheim.

BC and Wake have guys who may be good at coaching, I don't know, but cant recruit well enough to win. That's why I say both need to make strong WTF hires. Pearl, Wade, Sampson, etc. Cant be a mid-major lottery ticket. VT hit it big with Young but failure rates for those guys are high.

Brownell at Clemson is a good coach but struggles to recruit the necessary talent there.

Larranaga cheats enough to be good so he'll bounce back.

Pastner at GT is probably on the way out. This is another bottom feeder who needs to make a very strong hire. Ironically, they picked Pastner over Capel.

Who cares if the teams are good, I want crappy teams to get in, I especially like when some nothing team takes out a good team, like when UMBC beat Virginia.

Yeah, mediocre teams are so fun to watch. Nobody wants to watch good teams play.

I like it because it's real, I like it better when the BEST TEAM loses and is upset and some lesser team becomes champion, because that's real sports, if you're so damn great, then win.
