I don't see him doing anything wrong. I'm glad he is calling out this nonsense. I need to look into this but if it is true that coaches like Skip and Lelo get extensions, lose, and the most successful coach at USF gets nothing, Doug absolutely has some explaining to do. What makes this worse: Doug didn't make this hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job by Coach Fernandez this season. Hopefully they can steal two in Texas... This is a very winnable bracket - No Baylor, UConn, Notre Dame. Stanford can be beat... but lets get out of Texas first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all UConn and Notre Dame. No wonder people hate women's basketball, you only hear about a few select teams. People who "hate women's basketball" aren't watching the show. Fans of WBB understand why the coverage is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the 10-seed, home-court assignments and the attempt to keep conference teams separated messes up the S-curve. A 10-seed is not necessarily better than the 11-seed. Happens every year and don't read too much into it. Looks like Wichita St was the only bid-bandit (from the Gators, HA!) as Toledo, FGCU, SDSU, Pacific are all out. Maybe if St Joe's doesn't make a run, it wouldve opened up a slot, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hoops were awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Fordham nearly took down St Joe's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine with WVU. With 8 BE schools, it limits where they can put us, hence the 10-seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he changes that soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better RPIs left out: 39-Duq, 45-Tol, 48-SDSU, 49-SMC, 50-Pac, 51-FGCU, 53-UNCC. Looks like they heavily weighted SOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
