Bay Area Billiken Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Billikens vs. Bruins in the NCAA First Round (PIG), a renewal of Buddy Brehmer vs. John Wooden from ‘67-‘68, Rich Niemann vs. Lew Alcindor. Just a different result than UCLA 108 SLU 67, please. After all Mick Cronin has to rank among the greatest fish way, way out of water in Westwood, right up there with Gene Bartow. It’s hard to picture Mick cruising down Rodeo Drive, the Sunset Strip and the PCH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 LSU now sits at #30 in the NET. A loss today not only is a big boost to Ole Miss but it would likely take away a Q1 win for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 After overnight NET adjustments SLU’s NET is 45, which would yield the 32nd of the 37 NCAA at large bids. Today’s big game is in the SEC. We need 30 LSU to beat 52 Ole Miss. I think tonight’s late game in the Mountain West, 41 Utah State vs. 48 Colorado State is a de facto NCAA Bid game. There is still hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent point by majerus mojo last night about no teams actually scheduling additional games. Nobody seems willing to take the risk.

Feels like a bunch of football coaches punting on the other teams 45 yard line on a 4th and 1 type situation to me. Another analogy I can think of is that SLU is playing a game of high card wins and draws a 6. They are then told that they could throw back the 6 and draw from 2 other cards, one being a 2 and the other being a king. Instead of taking the "risk" they are too afraid to act and want to hold on to the 6, hoping the other guy has a 5 or lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stmdragons Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 LSU beat Ole Miss by double digits on the road earlier this year. No reason to think they can't do the same tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way any of these makeshift elimination games would be mutually attractive is on a neutral court. Otherwise, one of the bubble teams has to go the home court of another team where the home team wins 80-85% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoelabs Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I don't think I will ever root for other teams more than today. San Diego State needs to end the nevada cinderalla run, Colorado State needs to put Utah State to bed, and of course LSU has to knock out Ole Miss. Georgetown needs to handle Seton Hall as well, and then of course lose tomorrow to Creighton or UCONN. If all that happens, I don't think there are any bid stealers left barring a surprise in the Big 10 or AAC, or I guess Oregon State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenbill Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 This may be another reason they chose not to play the extra game. Lowered the risk of someone testing positive and missing out on the post-season completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 You have to have 7 straight days of negative tests to play in the NCAAT. It will all depend on how widespread this will be in the Virginia program. If they can keep 6 or 7 players from getting it, I would assume they'll still participate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 The Billikens obviously have been adversely affected by the Covid. But hopefully the team also developed protective herd immunity in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
