May have to tune into the $EC network on Sunday night after the selection show to hear their crew babble over themselves in shock when Vanderbilt is a 2 seed in the NIT"Vandy will solidify their spot in the field with this win"
BACATOLOGY: 3/6 NCAA TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS***RUTGERS PROJECTED 11 SEED***
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
With the Vandy win, Brad Watchel just tweeted that Rutgers is now out of even the NIT and may be headed for the CBI
I think they would have better resumes than A&M and Va tech last year and the bubble may be weaker. Honestly, they’d be pretty similar to last year’s RU resume with the awful losses and great wins (if they beat A&M). They’ll probably even beat our Net too.
Tennessee, Kentucky 2x, Arky, Auburn, MSU, Pitt….that’s nothing to sneeze at. I’d probably have them in Dayton if they beat A&M. 8 possible wins vs. the field depending on Pitt and MSU.
And the more i look the more they match up favorably with NC State and Pitt
But similar last year. I went with Texas A&M over Notre Dame.
Vandy may be able to get in with trip to finals..maybe
Lunardi has us one of last 4 byes.
Their wins arent as good as RUs were. We beat Purdue and win at Wisconsin
Tennessee may be 3 in net but just a 4 seed...that overall net is rough..without the mega upper level q1 wins RU had
Its likely the field is set by tomorrow afternoon. Will their push be too late
Wow. Yes Alabama 101-44. Meanwhile RU beat #1 Purdue in their house and just took them down to the wire on a neutral court.
55+ point losses should disqualify you from any postseason tournament
A 57 point loss should be looked at as a bad Q4 loss. It's insane how bad it is to lose by that much
Meh it’s one bad game. Someone can say the same thing about losing to Lafayette
Probably a key contributing factor to their 82 NET.
Walton saying Washington St. is definitely in 
"Why does a team who loses in the conference of champions get penalized for losing?"
"Why does a team who loses in the conference of champions get penalized for losing?"
What is going on here on ESPN. Head announcer is completely fed up with Bill Walton antics … they aren’t even talking about the game right now and Walton is on a tirade saying Washington State is a lock with their resume up on the screen at 17-16 with 1-11 Q1 and 5 losses Q2-Q4
That's not an actual quote... right?Walton saying Washington St. is definitely in
"Why does a team who loses in the conference of champions get penalized for losing?"
as an 11, we would be on course to meet a 3 in the second round. If Miami is a 4, then the committee wanting to avoid rematches in the first 2 rounds is no longer a concern
I’ve never seen this. Announcer is now completely ignoring the color commentator (Bill Walton) .. they may seriously pull him off the air at halftime. He is completely off his rocker and it’s ruining the broadcast of this critical bubble game
And how’s your predictions been going? You remind me of Indiana fans who literally went berserk on every single call against them. Totally full of themselves and think they walk on water.
Yes, it is an actual quote. He has become a charactature of himself
It was close until a couple minutes ago. Teams were trading bricked 3's for about ten minutes
Can you imagine this forum if Rutgers was in a game broadcast by Bill Walton. Makes Matt Millen sound like John Madden
Interesting to note there are updated ranks based on the late game results in the above tweet
So who are the bid stealers still alive in their conference tourneys?
Not many left....
AAC - Cincy and Tulane (they get Houston and Memphis next in the semifinals)
SEC - Vandy (Texas A&M tomorrow in semifinals)
B1G - Ohio State (Purdue tomorrow in semifinals)
CUSA - UAB (final tomorrow vs FAU)
