If they can beat Houston, they can damn sure beat the Heels. Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if we lost to SDSU. Because the Heels aren’t fundamentally sound, we generally lose to decent teams unless we shoot very well. That is problematic for a team that doesn’t shoot the ball particularly well. Our offense, defense, and rebounding aren’t usually good enough to offset a poor shooting effort. I’m happy for the men on the team that they made the tournament. Now let’s see if they can win some games.
SDSU beat Houston in one of those late Nov tourneys in a close game. Frankly, those early season tourneys you see a lot of upsets, major programs are trying different combinations of players, teams are just getting going. Just as we had a poor Maui tourney this season. This UNC team has played 4 of the top 5 teams in the country today,
Yes. Yes it is, but that's what you get with ESPN drum-beating and their commissioner lobbying like Enron --- while our "commissioner" is a damn ghost.
Your entire conspiracy hinges on the idea that the selection committee give two sh*ts about the media's critique of their choices. They've left out better teams than us with zero explanations.
The only focus they should have is SD State. Toss-up type game in a 1 and done tournament. The assistant coaches job is scouting for potential next opponent. Zero thought for Ole Miss or any other hypothetical matchup down the line for the team or Hubert.
When you say "they've left out better teams", would you share them and why they are better? And please, don't use this quad 1 argument, it's so tired. I'm confident you will share your views based on broader, more applicable metrics that all these "analysts" conveniently ignore.
SMU in 2014 and Murray St. in 2015 were both ranked in the top 25 at the end of the season and were left out of the tournament. I'll let you do the math on that one.
Hmm, ok sure, whatever that meant... Anyway I guess you don't want to answer the question I asked. Just ignore the opportunity to back up your claim.
Are you really so infirm that you can't piece together how a ranked team being left out of the tournament is worse than an unranked team being left out of the tournament? Because if so, there's no point in discussing anything with you; you're just not the brightest crayon in the box.
It's ok, you don't have to answer a simple question to explain your baseless claim. I didn't actually think you would be able to anyway. Honestly, all the so called analysts would be in your same shoes if they were called out too. Its ok tho, a lot of people get called out and then respond with unrelated arguments and insults when they are cornered. Happpens all the time in politics. BTW, I'm not your enemy
I think you need to go back to the beginning and read the posts this time. He said better teams have been left out, he didn't say "this year". He then gave an example of 2 ranked teams that were left out in the past. I think that's a pretty good example of "better teams" that were left out. I'm not sure what it is you're trying to get from him.
I read that a bit differently than you and found "this year" was implied within the text, AND that Rose supported those better team arguments. If I misinterpreted the message and concluded incorrectly, then I sincerely apologize. Given all the negative noise surrounding this team and the invite, I guess I'm a bit on edge, tired of hearing the repetitive, weak arguments.
Yes, I was talking about in the past, not specifically this year. And I also thought you were trying to pretend to not understand why a Top 25 team being left out is more egregious than our case. My bad for getting heated near the end. I've also been dealing with trolls and disingenuous people on both sides of the argument since the selection show so I'm a little testy, too.
Oh man, I missed that point, thanks for clearing it up for me. Well, you got heated because of my ignorance and for that I apologize.
