[SouthSideRyan]

So where exactly do you seed a 13-23 DePaul team?

Play-in game.

Forget to include them in the bracket and say its too late it's already done and they'll make it up to them next year.

In the CBI.

[Exile on Waveland]

Ya I am feeling embarrassed even considering them seeing as how Depaul is still winning and its the 2nd half.

 

Eh, just because they lost (embarrassingly), doesn't mean you were wrong before.

[bukie]

Georgetown trailing at the half to St. John's. New tournament rule: Any Big East team that can't advance at least as far as DePaul has no business making the NCAA tournament. :)

[bukie]

9. Wake Forest

St. John's leads Georgetown with 18 secs to play. Not sure if it's by 3 or 4, though, since different sites are reporting different scores. If GT loses, I'm prepared to exact the "DePaul rule" on them. :)

 

EDIT: St. John's wins 64-59. I'm prepared to eliminate GT from at-large consideration by invoking the DePaul rule.

Fourth. I was ready to fight for Georgetown if they wouldn't have lost to St. John's twice in the past week.

Going to be out for likely the next 7 hours. Reminder to PM me today's set of picks (or post them here if you prefer, just let me know some way).

 

Feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

 

I'll give you a topic: What's more important for selecting a tourney team, how good they are, or what they've accomplished?

What they've accomplished.

 

Only reason a "how good are they" should be factored in is if it's how good are they with this player who was injured. If you sucked for 3/4 of the year because your team didn't find its groove too bad.

Totally agree with this. Only teams that I give a slight break too would be St Marys and when calculating Oklahoma seed.

[Exile on Waveland]

How good is a team? That's an entirely subjective and immeasurable standard.* It simply cannot be the criterion. Obviously, as per most everything, exceptions have to be made. An injury, a transfer, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Actually, we do have a measure. It's what the team has accomplished.

Cleveland State is now in.

[SouthSideRyan]

Oh [expletive], I'll get it posted shortly bukie.

[bukie]

Auto bids for tonight: Cleveland State, North Dakota State (in their first year in D1!).

 

Still in progress: Sun Belt final between Western Kentucky and South Alabama.

Hey, you got like an hour and a half yet. :)
