billikenbill Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Gudmundsson hits his 6th three of the half, down to 6 but probably too little too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almaman Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If you do not find it noteworthy to point out a team in the dance has 5 white players on the court in 2018 I will discontinue going b & f with you rgbilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see the 5 white guys every once in awhile but it usually includes an Australian a few Europeans and the occasional Canadian. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenbill Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Not a good start for the Bonnies. Very cold from the floor, Adams with 2 fouls, could be a blowout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Sean Miller, worst "big time" floor coach ever. Sean, when losing might need to abandon twin towers and match up a little more with your quicker opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Holy crap Buffalo. More like the Buffalo Bills than the Buffalo Bulls. I think I saw Jim Kelly throwing balls to Don Beebe and handing off to Thurman Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other brackets I submitted I had Miami. Like Larranaga. Both are losing to Tennessee in the next round. dlarry likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBFan Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Could not stay up to watch the last games and just saw what Buffalo did to Arizona it appears that Buffalo might be that team this tournament that busts brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The two games all over the news are the wins by Buffalo and Loyola. The P5 wins are all afterthoughts. The public wants to see these upsets. The NCAA needs to fix their 'fix' and insure the smaller conferences are well represented. Middle Tennessee, St. Mary's, both should have been in the tourney. I read that Larry Bird's Indiana State University NCAA runner up team (which did win the Valley that year) wouldn't have qualified as an At-Large team for this year's tourney.

Joe Lunardi tweeted that. He was being sarcastic by pointing out that the 79 Indiana St. team only had 1 quadrant 1 win and therefor wouldn't have made it in the dance if they hadn't won the conference tourney with the new selection criteria. It was just sarcasm. While I appreciate his point and agree that small schools are getting screwed by the new metrics, the fact was Indiana St. was undefeated that year going into the dance, so I highly doubt a 26-1 team led by the national player of the year wouldn't have gotten an invite.

That was my point when I earlier posted that it seems odd that 19 and 20 win teams are getting invites and not high seeds now. As Roy pointed out it is all about the RPI and while I understand that the problem is you can only play the teams that are on your schedule - if you do not play in a P5 conference and you can not get higher rated teams to play you what are you suppose to do. Now I know some might say well take those games with no return or the 2 for 1 series but you should not have to be placed in a big disadvantage all the time. While Lundardi says he was being sarcastic sometimes what is said tongue in cheek may be closer to the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't there used to be a selection criteria that a team had to play .500 in their conference in order to be eligible for an At Large bid? If so, why did they dump it, beyond the obvious reason of being allowed to select more P5 schools? I don't care what your RPI, Kenpom, Sagarin, Tier I, II or III wins, or your % saturated fat, if you can't play 50/50 in your league, you don't deserve a chance at the National Title.

BJK Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Watching that Buffalo game they looked fantastic. Swarming defense and great passing. They shot better than should be expected going forward but I did not see that coming. I thought that they played and looked like a high major team and not a bracket busting Cinderella. Impressive.
