If we go by all the teams he thinks should be in, the field would have 112 teams.
Last line here is perfect @gteeitup.i don’t know how this team gets in unless it’s about eyeballs and brand…at this point it’s texas vs boise st vs carolina.
if colorado st beats boise st tonight does that help?…who the f knows, but we shouldn’t be in this situation.
yes, but wait til they go to an even higher number of teams in the tourney. Then you can have some real sub-mediocre teams in the tourney. This Heels team has done nothing all year to merit a bid. One eek out win against a just OK UCLA team? They needed near miracles in two games OOC to get wins. Zero wins to hang hat on...and yesterday is a game they absolutely needed to win, with Duke having two key pieces out, and not really playing for their tourney lives or seeding, like UNC was.Getting a bid is akin to a participation trophy now….
Play in winners are either an 11 or 12I see it now we get in the play in game and if we win that we get dook or auburn.

What does ESPN have to do with this? The entire NCAA tournament is broadcasted on non-ESPN/Disney channels. CBS, TNT, TBS, TruTV.I voted optimistically: Play In bid. But part of me feels that ESPN will use its weight to keep UNC out: further rile uo UNC boosters who then, ESPN hopes, will follow the FSU lead and Balme the ACC rather than ESPN.
ESPN is a total piece of excrement.
dook winning would help more, especially if comfortably, as it gives credence to the top quality of the team minus Flagg.? For all you bracketologists. Do our chances of making the tournament change depending whether Louisville or Duke win today?
None of the last 1 or 2 teams has a definitive advantage over another. The season is done. Have to live with the results. All 3 of those teams probably have more reasons to miss the tournament than to make it. And all 3 had ample opportunities in their own way to prove their worthy of the tournament.Lunardi moved Indiana into the Last In spot after Boise State lost. We're now after Boise State in the First Four Out.
How does that make sense? Yeah, our Q1 record sucks, BUT.... Does NET rank mean nothing? Does beating weaker teams mean nothing?

They're going to win. They will win the ACCT without Flagg and Brown.dook winning would help more, especially if comfortably, as it gives credence to the top quality of the team minus Flagg.
1-12 in Q1 is a stinky, smelly pile that you just can't cover up or enhance.Lunardi moved Indiana into the Last In spot after Boise State lost. We're now after Boise State in the First Four Out.

There’s an exception to every rule or trend just go with it for goodness sakesPlay in winners are either an 11 or 12
Hopefully they hold on to the big margin. A 18 point or so thrashing without Flagg, gives the much needed extra boost to the dogfight loss as not a negative. Every inch counts.They're going to win. They will win the ACCT without Flagg and Brown.
It makes the ACC look worse when the best team does it without their full force.Hopefully they hold on to the big margin. A 18 point or so thrashing without Flagg, gives the much needed extra boost to the dogfight loss as not a negative. Every inch counts.
The ACC was not looked upon highly already. Clemson and Louisville were solid, dook was elite. The question was is that still a 1 seed team without Flagg, that Carolina played to the last possession. An arse whipping makes that argument much easier to make.It makes the ACC look worse when the best team does it without their full force.
In a way they are. The NET, KEN POM, efficiency index, are looked at. That is what makes those up.Even if we do make it, nearly just as embarrassing to be playing a Tuesday night play-in game in Dayton. Potentially eliminated before the real tourney tips on Thursday.
Q1 losses where “we almost had them” isn’t a counting stat.
You may say, yeah, but we made it. Like @NathanFielder said, my how the standards of acceptability have lowered.
Here is how much "wiggle" room is in the official rules for selection, what is to be used for selection reasoning. Plus a couple more.
