Re: At-large watch
Coach k has wanted the season since it early in the season. No surprise that he is calling it.

Re: At-large watch
It has always been a criteria for an at-large bid that you can't have a losing record. Maybe they have changed that rule for this one season because of a pandemic, but it won't matter. Penn State won't be in the tournament with a rule change or not. There are far more deserving teams ahead of them. By the time they jump all the teams ahead of them they would have won their conference tournament anyway.QuackAttackAggie wrote: ↑March 11th, 2021, 12:44 pmIt's not a rule.

You are more than welcome to try and find an at-large team that has made the NCAA tournament with a losing record, but you won't find one. .500 teams are eligible, but are not selected.

Re: At-large watch
Pretty surprising to do it today if it wasn't legit. "Hey guys you won 2 games the last 2 days and are one win away from being on the right side of the bubble and likely getting in the tournament, but we are going to cancel your season!"
If they were going to pull some sleazy Jeff Linder nonsense they would have done it before the ACC tournament.

Re: At-large watch
I agree with you. I mentioned this earlier but am curious how this affects Louisville since they played Duke yesterday? Wonder if Louisville will have any Covid issues?Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑March 11th, 2021, 12:57 pmPretty surprising to do it today if it wasn't legit.

Re: At-large watch
I don't know about Louisville. I guess we will see what happens with them over the next week. Definitely a weird situation. I hate to feel sorry for Duke especially when we are competing with them for one of the last spots in the field, but just as a competitor you hate to see players lose out on a shot of the tournament in this way. I would rather lose to unlv tonight than have it come out we have to end our season without playing.ChicagoAggie wrote: ↑March 11th, 2021, 1:00 pmI agree with you.

Re: At-large watch
Sounds to me like we are competing against our own conference mates Boise and CSU for a spot. I think the MW will get 2 teams in the dance regardless of how things play out. We are seen as a 2 bid league at this point. So, if both Boise and CSU lose today and we win today but lose either tomorrow or in the championship, I think we would pass them in the projections and take the second spot assuming SDSU went on to win it all. No?

Re: At-large watch
Yep just win baby! Duke and Xavier are no longer teams we need to worry about. Just win today and win tomorrow. Of course at that point we just need to close the deal and threepeat this thing.AGGIEinIOWA wrote: ↑March 11th, 2021, 1:21 pmSounds to me like we are competing against our own conference mates Boise and CSU for a spot.

Re: At-large watch
Not sure if you're confusing bowl rules but I've never heard of such a rule. It's just a moot point since no team under 500 ever has deserved a bid. And I'm not saying penn state does either.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote:It has always been a criteria for an at-large bid that you can't have a losing record.

Re: At-large watch
All of these who's in and who's out lists are all speculation and the final teams in and out could be slightly different than the all-great and powerful Lundardi or other people who get paid to write articles saying what the net rankings already tell us. Is there anyone who is considered more accurate and usually gets the field correct over any of the other seers of bracketology?

Re: At-large watch
With Villanova losing today it guarantees a bid stealer will make the final game. Hopefully Creighton makes it and wins the final. That should stop a bid steal there.

Re: At-large watch
Lundardi makes great predictions once all of the conference tournaments are over. Not to toot my own horn but I'm pretty good at making predictions of mostly given outcomes too.

Yeah. Being able to change your predictions every day tends to make your final predictions pretty accurate.

Re: At-large watch
We did our own bracket using the rules the committee uses about 10-12 years ago. I think we got 63-64 teams right and the only one we missed was leaving USU out. There are 68 teams now but 34 auto bids, probably 20 deep locks, another 5-10 locks and then guessing last 4-9 teams. Not all that hard.

Re: At-large watch
Lol you are dogging on Lunardi for making changes after teams win and lose? How dare he!
Michigan State lost, Syracuse lost, Boise lost.
Just win the next 2 and we are in easy.

Re: At-large watch
Looks like the biggest knock on USU is they don't have a quality win on the road. Two wins against SDSU and one against CSU are the best wins and they were all at home. If we could have won just one game at BSU that would have made a huge difference

Re: At-large watch
They also claim that USU is the only one of the bunch with a bad loss completely ignoring that Boise has a Q4 home loss to Fresno State that is far worse than our loss to UNLV. They see what they want to see.

Re: At-large watch
I feel like the team looked very much like a tourney team, dominating with Queta, the wild card for us is staying healthy, and Miller getting back on track .. 3-4 3's a game will be key. Anderson and Bean looked very solid, and Anthony looks like a much better player his development keeps improving.

Re: At-large watch
So CSU or Fresno? I’m not convinced it really matters for us. A CSU loss probably eliminates them from at-large contention, which would seem to help us just as much as beating them tomorrow would, no?
I’ll be feeling good if we win tomorrow (no matter who it is) and if SDSU wins tomorrow.

Re: At-large watch
I don't know as well. I think if CSU wins and lose to them we still have a decent shot to make it to the tournament. ON the flip side if Fresno beats them it will be an easier matchup in my opinion with Fresno.ineptimusprime wrote: ↑March 11th, 2021, 9:50 pmSo CSU or Fresno?
