Big Bubble Night Discussion

[tzznandrew]

It's crazy to me that a lot of these A10 schools get such leeway in the eyes of Bubble Watch people. None of the good teams have any wins that matter outside of conference. They didn't even lose to any good teams in close games. They're living off the fumes of people thinking Kentucky was good.

The conference has four teams worse the the American's worst team, two of which are sub-200 KenPom teams (another two are sub-188). For years the American got killed for this sort of thing...but, it's a better conference by far than the A10 this year. Houston-Wichita-Memphis-SMU would run circles around these A10 schools. Yet somehow people project the A10 as a multi-bid league and the American as Houston—the end.

cuse can't rebound... they just put up a graphic saying nc has 15 boards to their 3. absurd. the unc player immediately grabbed 2 straight o boards.

Jerome ?

As in, "Send it in..."

I’m torn. It is standard to root for the home team with 2 bubble teams playing, but I don’t know if I can do it.

North Carolina is gonna be in one way or another, not rooting for cuse

Syracuse game is just brutal to watch. Just bad basketball

 

[BGesus4]

Cuse is a super solid 0-6 v quad 1

 

[elmcityboy]

Syracuse game is just brutal to watch. Just bad basketball

syracuse can't rebound, but unc can't shoot. both teams turning it over. not looking great.

Not necessarily a bubble game, but Nebraska up 18 on the powerful Rutgers squad at the half.

A Rutgers loss would help our tournament seeding.

 

[Storrs South]

Down goes Richmond...they were already on life support but now 100% done

 

[superjohn]

Both these teams stink and should be nowhere near the tournament. UNC has to be the worst shooting team in the country and all Syracuse can do is shoot.

It's like they're playing in a big empty 747 hangar.

 

[TRest]

Unc-cuse looks like a low major game based on the quality of play. Just terrible to watch.

 

[UConnRock]

Boeheim can’t recruit. That is why Syracuse is a brutal team. Williams can’t coach which is why UNC is failing. Both should retire, but I actually think Williams has had the worse year. Boeheim kind of met expectations of his brutal recruiting. Williams has shown no ability to develop top level recruits

To a team that was 3-14 no less.

Rutgers down 30 now. LOL.

Rutgers down 30 now. LOL.

Every projection I’m seeing from the top bracketologists historically (not Lunardi) has us somewhere between a 10-11 right now, occasionally a 12 seed, but not many in the last 4 in which is good. The way we are playing and I confidently believe we will continue to play, we are going to end up an 8-9 seed, unless we get to the big east championship, in which case I think we have a shot at a 6 seed if we win, and shot at a 7 just for getting there. All these teams losing ahead of us will help our cause. Lots of projected 5-9 seeds losing the last few days, bad losses too.

Turned on UNC vs Syracuse. Two not so good teams. UNC has no idea how to attack the zone. Roy ain't no genius.

If Roy has an NBA point guard that can run the show and create, he is a genius. If not, he clueless. What Calhoun would have done with the talent on the floor. There is no comparison between Roy and other legendary coaches

I enjoy watching Girard ride the pine.

he had cole anthony last year and still did nothing!

that being said, 'cuse is really struggling to close this one out...

 

[Dooooooomed]

Cuse losing this would be so funny.

 

[elmcityboy]

straight-up meltdown now. up 10 with a minute to go, now a 2 point lead with 20 seconds.

 

[superjohn]

These teams are putrid, looks like a rec league game.
