Yes, precisely! We want Houston to be in the finals for that reason. If Memphis/Tulsa make the finals, the committee is forced to take the winner rather than deem the game useless to the bracket.
The committee would have that information on Saturday afternoon. So Cincy is battling against the other bubble teams, not UConn, so the top 45ish. That's what their discussions are on Sunday Cincy vs Indiana vs. Alabama. That's the path to a 3 bid AAC, because theoretically they have to...
BINGO. and I believe that would help us here - if we are playing Houston - if we are playing Memphis/Tulsa they just have a blank spot for the winner. A lot of discussions are happening that day about resume's. They aren't first determining things based on the outcome of a game they don't...
I think this is over simplifying it. This would mean if UConn made the finals the Committee will have to have an entirely separate bracket with UConn as an auto bid (12 seed) - knocking out one of the first fours and moving everyone down one seed if they won the game at 5:30pm.
the only reason I think not is because if we win the game we won’t be in the first four. So the committee would have to have two brackets in that scenario one with us winning and one with us losing. I don’t think we get dinged for losing to Houston in Texas.
2. And I'm fairly confident - bear with me here.
For all intents and purposes I will consider the following teams the only one's able to win the AAC tourney: Houston, Cincy, Tulsa, Wichita St., UConn and Memphis.
The American conference has one lock in the tournament field and that is...
Something to think about.... That 13th loss (presumably in the finals of the AAC) might not be factored in since the game is at ~3pm on Sunday. Discussions will be well underway. If the game is against Houston, the committee may want to slot us in the same spot win or lose (which could also...
Hi all - looking for suggestions...
My soon to be fiance (weird to say that) and I will be traveling to Barcelona in the beginning of June and plan on visiting Seville as well. Will be there for 8 days.
Garnering suggestions for food / activities / attractions. Feel free to kick this to the...
I think if we go two guards, AG comes off the bench. Would be shocked if Vital isn't a full time starter.
My guess is we still go three guards at least to start the season against smaller teams- Gilbert, Adams, Vital, Larrier, Cobb.
Watch West Virginia. Good call @jibsey
Problem arises with the new foul rules w/ hand checks. Don't think we could keep our guards out of foul trouble which would be a major issue. Plus once we send them to the line, it's tough for our transition game to get going.
The idea is their best college year right?
Don't think you can pick a team that beats this one in today's college basketball (with the emphasis on the 3, fouls and a shorter shot clock)
Kemba $1
Buddy $1
Melo $3
Durant $5
Davis $5
In a perfect world they move Rose at the deadline next year for picks. Only players under contract after next year are Melo, KP and O'Quinn. Beautiful.
If Beatty committed it would only be a good thing for Diallo. These kids love to play with talent. Minutes won't be a problem for him, no matter who is in the backcourt.
Let's just hope Diallo is more of a Drummond than a Kentucky showcase. Can't blame him if he goes the latter though, I would...
Wow. I AM THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess, I'll keep the tradition going and run the third edition. Maybe a sporcle like google form, where all acceptable answers are up top (but not specific to any question), this to eliminate the ambiguity in certain responses. Maybe I'll...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but "we" pulled out of the Issac Vann sweepstakes presumably to save scholies for '17.. Why would we go back after Abu if he already has his name in the NBA hat and is in a similar situation? Because he's a big?
Jets fan here. My biggest concern is trading up for a quarterback. I want Fitzy signed back as the bridge to Petty, give him a chance. The first round talent is too much to pass up. Give me a pass rusher or the best inside backer in the draft.
Those loss of scholarships at Cuse are a sham. It really hurts the fringe players that won't develop until later in their college careers (forcing them to transfer) but they will always be able to recruit the big time guys.
Wharton is right. I would be fully on board with this if i was a Sixers' fan. Sell all your assets, for future gains. They're obviously implementing pace of the game (the new culture) into the team but don't have the personnel to execute. This is all part of the process (and part of the tanking...
