GAME THREAD West Virginia vs Cincinnati men's basketball
- Thread starter Vernon
- Start date
I agree. Our quad 1 wins have been minimized. I am now very pessimistic without several wins in the Big 12 tournament against big names.
A big problem is conference tournament performance has rarely moved the needle, traditionally speaking, barring an underdog winning it. The committee more or less sets the bracket going into the final week of the year and barring a national headline grabbing run, they are not judging the Wednesday matinee as something that will alter the bracket IMO.
At this point I just want to get a bid. Getting W’s now & in the conference tournament at least gives us a chance.
I think if we sweep the remaining home games we’re in the first four. Do that plus steal one on the road and we avoid Dayton. Drop a home game and all the road games we’re out. Conference tournament we would need to win 3 (assuming we play day 1 as currently projected) for our seed line to possibly change. Our best chance for an NCAAT run is from the 11 or 10 line though, 8 or 9 is a first weekend death sentence usually. That part of the bracket has us avoid a 1 seed all the way until the Elite 8, most of the great “Cinderella” runs have come from the 7-10 / 6-11 parts of the bracket because there is usually a big drop off from the top 1-4 teams and the rest of the field.

don't even look at an opponent after you score or Sirmons will T you up...no emotions allowed- Doug Sirmons
You can belly ache and blame the officiating all you want, but the fact is that we are a one-trick pony and have had at least TWO MONTHS to figure this out and develop someone/something to help......and we haven't. While other teams have gotten our blueprint and worked/scouted to exploit it, we have done NOTHING to improve. That's just the reality.
Of course people will saying I'm "hating" on the coach. I'm not. I'm just simply disappointing in him after the start he had.
Only thing officials should be blamed for is their one side of the floor calls.
