Wins needed to make 2021 NCAA tourney

[Viet Vet]

Yep, I didn't know if the lack of top 50 wins prejudices them. RPI looks great though:

Ask this. If UConn doesn't win the Big East tourney, with its automatic bid; which squad is better? UConn or Fairfield? Any doubt which belongs in the NCAAs?

Sorry Fairfield. I really wanted you in, but you blew it.

I know this is not a "football', aka soccer post, but........................"Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea.........Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea".

Go BLUES!

Those are not mutually exclusive statements, there's more than 1 at large bid

Could be a potential bid steal

 

[freescooter]

I'm only speaking of what should happen. They far more than earned themselves the right to see how they compete against bigger schools. One bad series which you came into at 2 or 3 in RPI doesn't change that.

I understand not paying attention to an RPI that doesn't make sense when it comes to seeding, as happened with Colgate in the basketball tournament. But not inviting a team that has been that high all year would be absolutely criminal. The purpose of the tournament is to find the best. We don't know that Fairfield isn't the best. I highly doubt it but we just don't know. We do know whomever the last at large selection will be, who finished tenth in the SEC or 9th in the ACC or whatever, is not the best team.

Exactly. I always at that. Big conferences in any sport get so over rated in the middle layer it is ridiculous. Fairfield has had an amazing run. They deserve a bid over for what the accomplished over some mid level team from a power league.

Well, I just looked it up. The last time UConn baseball did not make the semifinal round in a post season double elimination conference tournament was 2008 in the old Big East. All those tournaments had 8 teams in them. That is some run for UConn.

So, including the 2009 season, UConn has made it to semi final Saturday every season the post season conference tournament was held except for the 2014 season when the AAC shifted away from the traditional college baseball double elimination tourney set up, which they quickly readopted the following season. In all those seasons these tournaments had an 8 team field. This season, of course the Big East had a 4 team field. At any rate, UConn is in the Big East Tournament Finals tomorrow. UConn also made the finals in their conference tournaments in 2019, 2018, 2016, 2013, 2010, and 2009 during this run of making the semi finals in conference tournaments. In addition, UConn make the finals in the 2007 Big East tournament as well.

This is interesting to me since Tulane lost later last night. Looks like ECU and the winner of UCF/USF get the two bids. Earlier projections listed Tulane with a possible bid.

I enjoy the Notre Dame bracket far more than I enjoy this one. Playing Michigan would be a great matchup tho. Bryant and Central Connecticut have a game 7 today in the NEC tourney at Dodd. Supposed to be today but with the weather, I doubt it’s gonna happen

 

[HookC22]

I’ve really always hated how they send us out to a regional with another local team. 2010 they kept CCSU in our regional and in 2011 they sent Sacred Heart to Clemson with us. I just always felt that was weird to just loop the two northeast teams together when we’ve already played them at least once during the year.

Right now the NEC championship game is still on. I live in Norwich, and it is quite wet here to say the least. I will say that in the past, the Dodd Stadium field has had some problems with drainage after heavy rains. I say that as a long time season ticket holder to Norwich minor league teams, and now as a season ticket holder to the Futures League team.
