So if you can play it doesn't matter where you played before. The Bulls had a player that was big time during the Jordan years who played D2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost the conference championship to Merrimack but Merrimack is ineligible as they’re in year two of transitioning from D-2 to D-1. Merrimack also won the regular season title. FDU will be the only NEC team ever to win a game in the NCAA Tourney without winning their conference championship. Yes but we don't down grade Romar's trip because Cincy top player broke his leg.

Cincy’s player breaking his leg was a technicality? Thanks for the new interpretation of technicality. Very insightful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 It’s Game Day in Sacramento. I am in my pregame review of the Mizzou roster and stats. Mizzou has 10 D-1 transfers, starts 3 grad students and 2 Seniors. Building that roster that quickly, in less than one year, seems remarkable. After Princeton upset Arizona, Mizzou would appear to have a wide open window to the Sweet 16. Sagarin says MU by 6 over Princeton, and home Golden State (albeit from SoCal) UCLA by 7 over Northwestern. Ms. BAB and I will be there, taking Amtrak up to Sac, are looking forward to the spectacle. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best of the bunch being Hodge who is averaging 15 points 4 rebounds this season (48/41/73). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCLA is one of my favorite teams to watch. Might be the best defensive team in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State. Which raises the obvious question, why were so many invited in the first place? Based on results in the tournament, that many teams from the Big Ten DID NOT BELONG in the tournament. Yet, year after year, somehow they get in, with the same results every year. And what are the consistent big stories of the tournament? Underdogs from smaller conferences. The NCAA is actually hurting the appeal of the tournament by stuffing it with all these Power 5 teams that lose quickly. If they actually “deserved” to be there, why are they sent home so quickly?
