NH Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Im bummed that the playing of an extra game seems like nothing more than lip service and publicity stunts by the bubble coaches. I’d rather get knocked out by watching my team play than by hanging onto the results of a MWC quarterfinal game. brianstl, kshoe, slufan13 and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I have no idea whether we are in or out of the Dance, we will find out Sunday. Today is Friday, there is no announcement or confirmation of an extra game, and I think the chances of playing an extra game are practically nil at this time.

billikenbill Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I hope Palm is right but as it stands now, we're not in the field. Nearly all bracketology sites have us as the 1st through 4th team out, one even has us the 7th team out. I consider that one and Palm's to be the outliers at this point. When it could've been scheduled the only two games that made sense to play were Drake and they had already played their max. number of games, and Davidson. Playing either Missouri State or Wright State on the road wouldn't have caused a ripple. If everything breaks right this weekend we might get the last bid and we all know the odds of that are very slim. still slightly hopeful but, most likely, it's Hello, NIT.

JMM28 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I believe that Drake is on the outside looking in at this point. The non-con SOS is going to be a huge issue for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was tweeting last week about potentially adding a game with Drake and some average Joe had to explain to him that Drake has already maxed out on non-conference games.

wgstl Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 At this point, Id feel very good with playing Mo state at home. Feels like we just need a win going into Sunday, doesn't matter really who or where. Ending on a big L is what scares me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Ref Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Does anyone else realize that no one really wants this extra game, Xavier, Boise, Mo st, Davidson? It’s cute and cool to say “we want to play,” but who is actually playing another game? Also seems even less likely with the shite storm going on in the ACC tourney.

I wonder if teams are basically being told that an extra game is not going to change anything in the eyes of the selection committee because the selection committee doesn't want to set a precedent for teams trying to boost their resume AFTER their conference tournaments are over. It does seem like it opens a can of worms a bit and could lead to conferences doing something like the A10 did this year in the future. You play the early rounds one week and the championship the next to give teams that lose early another opportunity to add resume boosting wins. If the NCAA / TV networks are trying to protect the "championship week" brand, that could very well be the case. 3star_recruit, A10Ref, SLU_Lax and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now in the tournament you eat the pay day so a potential loss is somewhat muted. I have around early that playing the game may not be worth the downside. You can not get a game against a team that would actually help so why play a lower team at all. Another win against a lower team proves nothing. We already have enough wins or games to qualify for consideration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess instead of just encouraging teams not to schedule games by telling them they wouldn't matter the NCAA suddenly realized they actually have a bylaw that forbids teams from scheduling games. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
