LSU and Louisville Lose to Unranked Teams (merged)

They always are. Did she throw her jacket?

She didn't have it on. Replaced it with a classy bedazzled T-Shirt from the Swap Meet.

Someone has to tell me the difference between us losing to a then unranked Villanova a few weeks ago is different than LSU losing to an inconsistent Kentucky, Louisville to a very up and down Miami and Michigan losing to Nebraska twice, who might be a bit better than anyone thinks. If the winners of these games can improve their rankings, why can't it work the other way?

Oh, I thought it was a collectible from the original Star Trek.

to me it doesn't really matter if we are a 2 or 3 seed, what is most important is the region we are put in. As long as we are in Bridgeport and avoid having to be in SC region I dont care if its as a 2 or a 3 to be honest. On the other side of it if you are SC if there's one team they dont want in their region I guarantee it'll be a healthy UConn. I think it would be silly to keep UConn out of Bridgeport for fan attendance reasons, and I think its harsh to give SC the toughest elite 8 matchup as the overall number 1 seed as well.

Is Charlie Kreme actually any good at predicting the layout of the brackets? What's his track record?

Who is Charlie Creme?

This was posted back in 2017, but, I still can't find any information on him, or his background. He works for ESPN, and just like ESPN, appears to be biased toward ACC, SEC teams. How much, if any influence does he have on the NCAA tournament brackets?

I hope the team manager with blue blazer and red pants is ok after the takedown from Kim.

This is exactly what the SEC needed, a dose of Kim to spice up the conference.

What a mess in the "Top 16" ....

How the heck can they keep BYU out of the 16 now?

Does anyone out there read lips? Looked like she saying “LSU players don’t flop as realistically as the Baylor players”

I don’t know about that but I saw some use of alliteration in her choice of modifier of the word foul.

 

[BRS24]

The hub and I both commented that she was extremely lucky to not have any contact with the referee as when it was happening I was like, OMG did she touch him?

I am betting the committee will take those losses in consideration and will make a financial decision to send UCONN to Bridgeport….and of course the Huskies tradition of excellence.

 

[Carnac]

Whew! Breathed a big sigh of relief to see that St Johns took care of one of our old rivals, Duquesne.

Yeah, the Dukes had me worried too.

UConn's loss to Villanova happened before the current projected seedings so whatever impact it has had is already been taken into consideration. And, UConn was playing with a very depleted roster with.

I’m no expert but here’s my guess. Louisville lost to Miami, net 44, on a neutral court. So that is a quad 1 loss.

LSU lost to Kentucky, net 37, on a neutral court. So that is a quad 1 loss.

Michigan lost to Nebraska, net 21, on a neutral court. So a quad 1 loss.

My fear this year is that at the end of the day, the committee will be able to justify any decision they make about Uconn with that Quad 3 loss to Villanova. No matter how you look at it, it’s a bad loss.

This is where we need big east teams to schedule and beat mid level teams in P5 conferences to establish the big east within the conference hierarchy. It’s hard for big east teams to build a resume by merely playing each other. I can’t remember a time a team beat Uconn and wasn’t considered in the NCAAT field.

UCONN has to stay on their toes.
Upsets in the air.

Excellent advice. Last year, at least one UConn player (I think it was Christyn) said that the Huskies had taken Arizona for granted. No matter the tournament, no matter the seeding, no matter the opponent, assume that the other team believes they can beat you and will leave everything on the floor trying to do just that.

No but she gave the camera a sly wink and a big smile after the T.

How would a rematch where a healthy UConn blows them out factor into the equation ?

She did say a few days ago that she wanted to get a big ejection. She was working on it

She knew exactly what she was doing.
That game was lost and she knew it.
She was sending a message to her team on how to fight.

Losing in the QF is a bad loss for an elite team.

More like how to be a poor sport cry baby.

LSU isn’t a elite team. Kim inherited a team that went 9-13 last season and have gotten the most out of this team with the addition of Alexis Morris. Without her, LSU can’t do much really. They have over achieved this season.

But she is supposed to be back for the tournament. They will go as far as Pointer and Morris can take them
