Is it just me or is ESPN+ glitchy? 

me too

up to +7 on bovada  is corey playing?

usually the higher seed gets the next home game and then if you haven't had one the first 2 rounds you would get a home game in the 3rd.  But they will change the rules last minute so the P5 will get a home game

Like our chances to play Iowa and to go to Indy

1) South Florida
2) 9
3) Youngblood - 19
4) Pryor - 9
5) 79%

Serious question... Why would any school opt out of the NIT? I can think of legitimate reasons, but if it's only because they are butt-hurt for getting left out of the NCAAs, then I am embarrassed for them. It's another chance to keep competing.

its still an opportunity for the kids, I thought we are trying to give them memories.  Why you wouldn't play in the NIT is an embarassment for any school that turns it down

The MW doesn't need that. Apparently they're scheduling ooc just fine. I think the only way to get a decent ooc sched is to go after P6 games, where their bloated rankings can help us ....... most of the time. Thanks, FSU.

MW was a long shot but the A10 makes sense or MVC

Need to set up a bracket buster with the A10 or MW next year get some OCC Quad 1 matchups  the comish should work on this would be good for both conferences

There are no rules saying they have to only look at AI generated numbers. It's how teams have been included and omitted in the past that wouldn't have been if only looking at strict numbers. They could still shock the world and include us ...... **** what the bracketologists say ..... but very doubtful.

we all know it aint gonna happen.  its just a shame, this team and a few others at well deserve to dance over some medicore power 5

Chaplin had a good year with LR.  Moss was okay with WM but no postseason.  Murphey was out all year

BS Rules

All of the non power 6 should boycott....if they don't have the cinderellas they lose the cache of the tourney.  The rules need to be changed to at lleast require the comittee to look at something more then AI generated numbers.  eye test and how you are playing later in the year is getting the better teams in

We are not the only team is this converstation, App St, High Pt, Indiana St, Richmond, UC Irvine, Princeton, Toledo and possibly Grand Canyon.  All are the same argument.  Best we can do is Go win the NIT anndd  show them they were wrong.  Will help with scheduling next year and hope it doesn't  come down to aa bubble next year.  Need Selton to come back too

Thanks, will take a look at it now. The system sucks when the regular season championship gets absolutely nothing guaranteed in the way of basketball post season.

Trip Glad you changed course and watched...I think you will like it

whats stings even more is Temple is going to beat FAU

1) South Florida
2) 4
3) Youngblood - 23
4) Pryor - 10
5) 79%

1) South Florida
2) 6
3) Youngblood - 19
4) Stroud 9
5) 76%

We dropped only 3 spots to #27 in the AP poll.  At large might still be in play by a thread

We'll likely play Memphis now.

This bracket can't happen...if smu gets the 4 memphis is the 6.

I think it would between the records agaisnt USF Charlotte, and FAU combined

I think you are right so under this scanario we want SMU to win that would give them the 4 seed.  UAB would be the 5 since they beat us.  If UAB wins and is the 4 seed then memphis would be the 5 and smu the 6.  SMU seems to be playing for more but the game is at UAB.  lots in that game since its for a double bye

What’s the tiebreaker? They split head to head and both lost to USF. Memphis was 1-1 and SMU 0-1 against FAU but reading the tiebreaker, I don’t think Memphis’s win breaks the tie since SMU only played FAU once. unless I’m reading it wrong.
 

Two Teams Tied section 2.b.ii

If I did the tie breaker correct I think we need smu to win that would make them the 4 UAB tthe 5 Memphis 6
