NCAA BRACKET SHOW THREAD
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
The B1G had 8 bids. No way the committee was going to hand us 9. Losses to Temple and Minnesota hurt us. Win those games and we’re in.
Yes, I heard the committee chair say that on Saturday when discussing how the top seeds were determined. i didn't know that was a factor. Doesn't seem fair.
the guys's trying to make excuses but getting caught in the details. If he's saying they dropped us out because of Mag injury and having all the quad 4 losses then he should be discounting losses early in season when we were without starters. So either you care that there were injuries and it means something or it doesnt.
Lots of reasons..scheduling, 60 second meltdown at Minny, refs at OSU. Still think we got hosed, but whatever. We won some we
Certainly could have lost too.
Makes little sense. Right now the best teams are playing ( minus Rutgers). Pretty sure the committee would want teams with the best chance of winning. We have teams in with one Quad 1 win, one Quad road win. Inexcusable
They also said step up the OOC schedule.
I agree the committee sucks *** and we deserve to be in.
RU gave them the opportunity to screw us and they took it.
Take away the opportunity.
Agree on the numbers game with B1G teams. Didn't help us @ all.
Yup. It’s all opinions. Can’t leave it to the committee just like you can’t leave it to the refs. We are on the bubble every year which is great, but have to do a little better to rest easy.
Could be argued NCState should step up and get more then 1 Quad win
I had no idea as well until he utter it. They also counted bad losses more than good wins. NC ST. 1-6 in Quad 1. So basically, it doesn't matter who you beat where, just don't lose to who you aren't supposed to lose to. Scheduling had nothing to do with being left out if they're going to put NC St. and Neveda in over us.

Well, we want to be considered NYs team when it comes to media rights & conference relevance, but not scheduling big games.
We had weak OOC schedule and a few bad losses that really cost us. Stinks it was from experienced team. Hope the guys remember this for future games to come.
When it’s your only high Q1 win it’s not enough to offset so many bad losses.
Curious how your bracket rated compared to years past?
NC State being in is a screwjob to sanity.
Them over you guys is pretty embarrassing for the committee. Nobody can defend that with a straight face.

We were the only team in the B1G to not play in a holiday tournament. I’m not saying that’s the answer, but it wouldn’t hurt as a start.
Thought I read Pike tried to get a few teams but no one wanted to play us. Again could be wrong
Pike is not one to pout. He'll use this as an opportunity to teach the guys about being the master of your own destiny and not ***** when you fail to.
One of the reasons I love the guy.
Life isn't fair. He grew up in a big family like me. You learn fair doesn't mean ****. Stand up for yourself. Or don't... It's up to you.
Not in a holiday tournament where you enter in advance. There are at least a dozen of these every year and we were the only B1G team not to play in one.
Injuries experienced during the season vs. player availability for the tournament are different.
But NC State beat Duke. It doesn't matter that Duke couldn't hit the ocean from the beach then. I feel bad for the folks here and elsewhere who actually try to scientifically figure out brackets. Just accept certain things are skewed a certain way (ie UNC 3rd out haha).
That's like taking second at a pie eating contest. You still feel sick to your stomach but without the prize.
Sucks for us. How do you think Clemson feels? They beat NC St 3 times. All double figures with two 20+ point wins. That’s laughable too. Cannot leave it up to the committee.
i guess. separately though, he just said on espn that they never turned it around after the injury and thats why the injury excuse kept them out which is a complete head scratcher. then said they had chance to win early on in non-conf which is when they also had injuries. and if they really meant what they said, then Houston cant be a 1 seed if their top player is not even playing at this point.
Goes against people trying to say there is no recency bias and the entire schedule is what counts in total. If that’s true it shouldn’t matter that we lost after an injury shortly before the tourney, no?
Xavier fired their coach last year because they went to the NIT . What a terrible example
If you can go 0-31 but win a conference tournament youre in the Big Dance. Which means Q3 Losses dont matter. The whole thing is broken end if story
Do you really follow college BB?
Xavier made the tournament this year because they hired Sean Miller after missing the tournament in 2022.
Fing joke. Purdue a no 1 seed wants no part of ru. We got screwed
