Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3920251, member: 199"] NC St had a good resume and was playing well. Then they lost their second leading rebounder and third leading scorer to an injury in round 1 of the NCAA tournament (patella tendon) and they lost to a decent Arizona team tonight by three points after being out rebounded on the offensive glass 8-3. Cut them some slack. Injuries suck, we know that from experience. People were worried that Uconn might struggle losing their #5 starter, 5th in assists and 7th in scoring. I think NC St probably missed their starter more than we did. TA&M - no argument, they played the 3 games like crap. But ... their resume looked pretty decent in a year where conference strength was very hard to analyze - the committee [B]and most everyone else [/B]missed the boat on how much the teams in the Big10 below MD had improved from a year ago - but it wasn't very obvious from their resumes either. Iowa with five questionable losses and no signature wins doesn't exactly scream S16. [/QUOTE]
