billiken_roy Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 and you think we, our fandom, would draw well? or even better, how would we be a "home team" in an ncaa tourney game where we had a 100+ rpi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Valley Sucks Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 I know you automatically qualify if you win the regular season title and lose in the conference tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARon Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 If I remember correctly, Majerus put conditions on us agreeing to take part in the CBI when we did. -We had to be a 1 seed and therefore hosted the max number of games possible. -We were given a spot in another Gazelle Group tournament the following season or the year after. Rick also had a chip on his shoulder because he felt the Bills had been unfairly left out of the NIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billboy1 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Even though didn't win CBI it was a good springboard for the next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Looking at the link on the prior page, it seems like any A-10 team expected to be any good next year is in one of the tournaments. I guess we will surprise the he!! out of everyone when we win the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it would have been if not for Situation 1. It was a great springboard for VCU, which beat SLU in the CBI and then went on to the Final Four the next year.

billikenbill Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Thought Loyola of Chicago won the CBI last year. Two years ago, ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenbill Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Nope, Wyoming won it last year.. I see what you mean. Ramblers won it in 2015. Porter Moser doing work at Loyola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 No NCAA or bust. I guess the silver lining for the NIT is that we might play Missouri 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 -per NCAA.com using the NIT as an experiment again this season, I am a fan of the college game, if I want to watch the NBA I'll watch the NBA, so making moves to get the college game more in line with the NBA most likely does't excite me The 2018 NIT will feature four rules modifications: • The three-point line will be extended by approximately 1 foot 8 inches to the same distance used by FIBA for international competition (22 feet 1.75 inches). • The free throw lane will be widened from 12 feet to 16 feet, consistent with the width used by the NBA. • The games will be divided into four 10-minute quarters as opposed to two 20-minute halves. Teams will shoot two free throws beginning with the fifth foul of each quarter. • The shot clock will reset to 20 seconds after an offensive rebound instead of the full 30 seconds.

All sound good to me. Permanently doing away with the one and one free throw situation is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMouthBilliken Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 If a losing team intentionally fouls with less than two minutes left in the game (and leading team is in the double bonus) then the leading team gets two shots and the ball. no more foul free throw crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenfan05 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 25 seconds left. Opposition has the ball your down 2. Play defense. Solid advice. there have been cases in football of fouling benefiting the offending team. In hockey you can benefit from tripping a man on the rush with little time on the clock. Soccer you can benefit by taking a yellow card and stopping a counter attack. It’s not a foul but intentional walks fall under the same category. Of all your half assed trolls this is the most half assed of them JohnnyJumpUp, RiseOfTheBillikens and Littlebill like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
