The perception of a strong conference beating each other up being better than teams out there playing solid hoop is too hard to overcome, Even for those that cannot get the premier teams to schedule them. And a confession - when teams with suspect records make it in, I usually pick the upset and will root for the underdogs, just because.
I realize the bubble is big and soft, but losing 2/3 of your conference games should be an automatic disqualifier, regardless of conference, regardless of strength of schedule, NET, Quad 1 and 2 wins, anything. You lose that many conference games, you don't deserve it.
Not that anyone is even slightly interested, but Purdue and UCF notched wins in these hotly contested games.
I think seton hall was really excited by the possibility of making the ncaa tournament. And when it became apparent that it wouldn’t happen… they lost focus a bit. And they ended the season poorly as a result.
Women’s tourney should not have expanded past 64
Hey you pulled my trick. Again.
Dang I double jinxed it. You and I can keep posting to decide who wins this game.
Says the man who lost 27 bets in a row! 😁
For you specifically, DO NOT bet your house, or anything of value, probably don't go above $10 on ANY bet. Just a friendly public service announcement.
Carolina was predicted to finish 3rd and they did. They could've finished 2nd outright had they closed out Louisville and Stanford in the final minute of those games. Their clutch 3pt and FT shooting improved over the course of the season.
Was raised online and no one had an answer.
