OT: Murray State...In or Out?

[johnhuskies95]

There's not a lot to suggest that they're very good unless you put a lot of stock into how teams do against SIU-Edwardsville and Jacksonville State.

Nobody forces then OVC to use their auto bid on a tourney champ.

 

[Rico444]

We could lose to Valpo by 30. I think we should be in the tourney.

It must be pretty slow here if Fishy has to troll his own board...

 

[Offhegoes]

Win 25 straight games? IN. Yeah, they lost to Houston. So did we last year..

 

[Jerry1714]

You cannot go 4-4 against the top 150 in RPI and expect to get in.

Right. But our team also beat Florida. And Cincy. And Memphis. And Harvard. And a number of other Top 100 teams. Give me a similar win for Murray State.

It's not just that they lost to Houston. It's that they got blown out by the few teams they played worth anything, and have no impressive wins to counterbalance the horrific losses.

Yeah, saying "Hey, UConn lost to Houston, too" would be an effective argument if UConn was an at-large team...

Well, he did say last year. It's still not a particularly compelling argument either way, but he did pick a year where our team was an at-large team.

I guess I just assumed he was being pessimistic calling "this year" "last year" since it seems odd to compare a loss to a team in different seasons.

Pretty funny you guys always come back to PC...

For your reading pleasure; PC vs Murray State
http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology/team-comparison/MURYST/PROV

Spoiler alert: laughable

PC 11-7 vs top 100 sos 7
Murray 2-2 vs top 100 sos 237

The scheduling crutch is BS; Ed Cooley played in ny as a home game then went to UK. Neutral with Miami, ND.

It was joke by one poster, at least presumably, much like you, but there is no presumption needed for that.

LAUGHABLE

Your bedtime must be coming up soon. Shouldn't mommy be tucking you in? Maybe a pre night-night diaper change is in order?

anyone uses the term "butt hurt" tells me all I need to know about them. Not that I did not already know how big of a loser you already were as you approach 1k posts on this board.

 

[UconnFanDC]

Would you take IU, BYU, Texas over Murray State? I'm not sure I would.

Murray State lost to Valpo, Houston, Xavier and Portland. No quality wins. I say not in and should not be in!

 

[captainron2]

Has any team not made the tourny with a stat line like this?

RPI 23; SOS 6; 6 Top 50 Ws (4 in Top 25); 12 Top 100 Wins; 2 bad losses 101-200
