2013-14 NCAA Basketball Season Thread: Hanging By a Leg

[Headspace]

CINCY #1

[Cail]

Wichita State #1

yes

[Roranora]

Florida #1?

#5 < Wichita St < #1. They'll romp to about 37-0 and then we'll finally get to see them challenged.

Welp, I won't get 4 teams with connections in the tournament since FGCU lost today. (EKU/UF alum schools, UC fan since a kid)

Florida/Arizona/WSU will get #1 seeds. After that it's murky. Nova can be a 1 seed depending on your opinion of the new Big East. Cuse lost too many games I think. Duke had a real bad loss in Wake Forest. KU lost too many games recently. Virginia lost to Maryland today

Don't forget Badga

[Tyche]

Will lose tonight.

[archibaldcrane]

Will lose tonight.

BADGA

Hope y'all are ready for the Milwaukee Panthers to dominate Wright State in the Horizon League final tonight. Shit is going down.

You should be more upset at Green Bay dominating the conference in regular season and missing the dance because of a bad OT

16 wins and 16 losses and dancing for Mount St. Mary's. 9-7 regular season in the NEC. Oh yeah, that means Northeast Conference. Just learned/confirmed that today. I feel like I know many conferences and mid-majors in men's CBB, but every tourney I get lost when I see how many conference champs / auto bids get in.

[Headspace]

someone on /r/collegebasketball was talking about restructing autobids for mid-major and low-major conferences. One idea was to give regular season champ a point, and conference tourny winner a point. You need two points to punch your ticket. If you win reg season and tournament then you are in, but if you win one but not the other then the regular season and tourny champs have a win and in game.

I really hate that idea. Having cinderella teams is part of the reason the NCAA tournament is great. With the expanded tournament we have now if you don't get in, it's almost always your own fault.

You have more "cinderellas" if the best team in the conference goes to the tournament, not necessarily the team that had a better tournament/one game performance. Example: Green Bay could have won a game or two in the NCAA tournament but won't make it because they had a bad 5 minutes in over time. They dominated the Horizon league during the regular season, which says far more about their abilities to play basketball and win games then a conference tournament.

Also, Napier wins AAC POY which is p. bad

My bad I didn't read through the whole thing lol

but if you win one but not the other then the regular season and tourny champs have a win and in game.

I would be okay with it, unless the two teams already met in the conference tournament.

[Cail]

Thats a p cool idea

Milwaukee would've whooped GB's ass a third time this year if they played again. Already was 2-1 against them, beating them twice on their home court. #HIDEYOTWOSEEDS
