Ivy has a tournament now too but limited to top 4. Leagues have the tournament for the money. If you offered them $100 more to play in an empty building, they would all play in empty buildings.

Sometimes things are debatable. This really is not. #1 you forgot just how strong the Big East was that year. In the final AP poll before the BE tournament here are the rankings of BE teams: Pitt 3, ND 4, Syracuse 11, Louisville 14, St John’s 17, West Virginia 20, UConn 21, Georgetown 22...

I think that, too as long as we don’t go into a funk and lose a bunch of games to the likes of Providence and DePaul.

Irregardless of what it means it isn’t the same regardless! At least we can all agree on truthiness.

I’m going to guess some, not all. Let’s not forget some of Mora’s coaches came from FCS. Gordon Sammis was at William and Mary. The first OC was the head coach at Maine. I’m thinking guys who haven’t had a losing season over 10 years might have some knowledge about finding assistants.

2011 was a strange year. No GREAT teams. Just a lot of really good ones. That Butler team was actually very good. I don’t think they were viewed as your typical mid-major. They had been to the Sweet 16 in 2007 or 08, then the title game in 2010 and were back in 2011. In 2010 they missed a...

I agree on that. Talk about made for tv events. For major conferences they are mostly irrelevant. Oh you have the odd Georgetown or NC State making a run mostly costing some place holder bubble team a slot. But mostly it doesn’t matter in any way. If you must do it, I would do a 4 team...

How about this. Joel Klatt is the dumbest sportscaster and the least aware one in all sports. The NCAA basketball Tounsment is the best tournament in all sports! Watching the cinderellas knock off bluebloods is great and if the bluebloodbgetting knocked off is Duke or Kentucky all the better...

I don’t know. As long as it wasn’t a student in a class he taught or a football related class/job and she was over 18 that seems a little bogus. There are no reports of assault or any other situations at this point.

Let’s try this one more time. I don’t think Villanova is a tournament team without beating UConn and St John’s in the conference. Why? Because their non-conference schedule was filled with dreck. La Salle, Temple, Queens, Duquesne, Penn and Pitt. They also played 2 ranked teams and went 0-2...

LOL. Stop it. If you want to be ranked your best win can’t be Boise State. They are 0-teams people have actually heard of. Though maybe that blowout of Liberty will help them. Yikes!

I didn’t say it did. I said Wisconsin was a middle of the road team and beating them doesn’t add anything significant to Villanova’s resume. My view is neither Villanova nor Wisconsin are any good. The winner probably has a better shot at getting a coveted 12 seed than the loser. That’s it.

Yeah. NC State isn’t close to being ranked anymore. That’s kind of like saying Arch Manning was winning the Heisman until the games started.

I was talking about Wisconsin, not Villanova. Someone posted that the Villanova game with Wisconsin would be important to getting them into the tournament. I think Wisconsin is at best a mediocre team. Beating them just means one pretty middle of the road team beat another middle of the road...
