the stan/lou game is blacked out online here and they went away from it on tv thanks to the somewhat lopsided score...still getting to watch the other 2 games playing right now.

Well when the brackets came out I wondered why Stanford got in there and now I just have to scratch my head that much more. :?

 

Stanford deserved to get in, they're just playing horrible right now. Just because a team plays poorly in the first game doesn't mean that team didn't deserve a berth. Conversely, just because a team wins their first round game or plays well doesn't mean they necessarily deserved a spot in the tournament.

 

Same goes for the teams that were left out. Just because Drexel lost their first round NIT game doesn't mean that they didn't deserve to play in the NCAA tournament.

 

Oh, and just to clarify, this only goes for the bubble teams.

They were 18-12. They didn't deserve to get in. There's no point in arguing it anymore anyway.

 

Maryland leads by one at the half.

Um, I said I didn't think Stanford deserved to be in before the game even started. And I said they have done nothing today to change that opinion. So your point doesn't apply to me. :wink:

Arkansas didn't deserve to get in (7-9 in the SEC, please). Illinois didn't deserve to get in (9-7 in the Big 10 and they only played Wisconsin and OSU once each when if they would have played those teams twice and Minnesota and Northwestern once they would have gone 7-9). Stanford did deserve to get in (10-8 in Pac-10 playing every team twice). Stanford had wins over UCLA, Oregon, Washington State, and Arizona. What was Illinois' best win..Indiana? Please.

 

And the committee agrees with me since Stanford was an 11 seed which means they weren't the last team in.

Nope.. agreeing that an 18-12 Stanford team didn't deserve to get in. I'm rooting for the Big 12...

I'm not watching the game (TT and BC) but who in the heck is John Oates and why is scoring so much.

 

I hate him even more than I did in the 80's when he was teamed up with Daryl Hall.

 

Not a guy that should be scoring. But, if that means Knight's taken out their big weapons and BC is relying on Oates, TT should be in good shape. Go Red Raiders.

Dear Selection Comittee,

 

Nice pick, going with Stanford and all.

 

Sincerely,

 

Syracuse, Air Force, Drexel, Iowa.....

 

Hooray for small sample size and making a judgment on one game.
