really, JT? Do you just come into a thread and not read the last 2 fucking posts?

3/5/2012 11:30:59 PM

since, nobody, 49th post (and i'm curious)

is WCU winning really gonna help our RPI or tournament chances at all? its not really impressive when you beat NCAA tourney teams when they're Western Carolina

3/5/2012 11:31:46 PM

didn't matter in the Zags St marys game both are getting in.

the socon doesn't really matter since only one is getting in, but we played WCU so that helps us.

Joey Brackets has Drexel in his last four in. total bs!

3/5/2012 11:45:44 PM

yeah srsly. and he's not the only bracketologist who has them in either.

3/6/2012 12:17:38 AM

fyi, we should be paying lunardi to get in.



same way agents pay mel kiper for higher draft picks

3/6/2012 12:32:17 AM

yeah we should pay some ESPN hypeman who isn't even on the tournament selection committee to predict us into the tournament

3/6/2012 12:40:10 AM

Lunardi's predictions are overrated as hell too

I figured that his dumbass would put Drexel in. Guys they won 19 straight, granted against dogshit competition and their SOS is terrible but they deserve it.

3/6/2012 6:56:30 AM

I'm fucking sick and tired of hearing 0-8 in the top 50. Yes it's our fault, but come the fuck on.

2 to unc, 1 to duke, and 1 to syracuse. The it's 1 to IU, and 1 to FSU. Ok so we're 0-6 against the top 17 teams in the country. I'm fine with that. We're not a ranked team. I still think we're a tournament worthy team. Our schedule was fucking hard, and it shows.

3/6/2012 7:41:17 AM

Supposedly this page represents the committee's little cheat sheet for selection Sunday...

Thankfully they list the record against top 100 in addition to top 50.

[Edited on March 6, 2012 at 7:58 AM. Reason : grammars]

3/6/2012 7:58:13 AM

5-9 against the RPI top 100 looks way better than 0-8 against the top 50...

3/6/2012 8:00:57 AM

Drexel is now the team we have to worry about instead of VCU. Their SOS is bordering the worst in the nation.

3/6/2012 8:04:20 AM

^These two sentences in juxtaposition is bothering me. Do you mean "in spite of their SOS", or something?

3/6/2012 8:13:58 AM

Drexel only played 6 top 100 games all year

^ I think they meant like, "On a positive note, their SOS....

[Edited on March 6, 2012 at 8:15 AM. Reason : ^]

3/6/2012 8:14:09 AM

I really meant I'm tired of shitty conference teams getting at large bids. If we played high school teams all year long we would have 25+ wins too.

3/6/2012 9:07:16 AM

Drexel over us would be tough to take but if youre going that route you can't complain when a Texas, Northwestern, UConn or South Florida make it over us because they all have worse records but higher SoS and RPI.

Fwiw how is 17-13 UT with a 75 RPI listed as ahead of us by Lunardi?

3/6/2012 9:14:32 AM

We should worry about what we can control and that is winning the next two games. If we don't do that we don't have a chance to get in. So until we are still playing on Saturday, all these scenarios mean dick.

3/6/2012 9:26:08 AM

Thanks Coach.

3/6/2012 9:45:22 AM

our current RPI is 56.

no rpi top 50 team has ever been left out.

appears cut and dry to me. Win 2 games, and even stepping on the court against UNC on saturday bumps our SOS. We'd be in.

this. if we were top 50 rpi with a SOS of 15 or so, how do you not take that team?

Lol, all the anti-knowledge comes out this time of year. The top 50 nugget had me LOLing..

3/6/2012 10:32:04 AM

haha, man, i'm too trusting of people

but i still think it's a fair argument that getting to play unc bumps our SOS which only helps. and if it's not UNC, then we should just win.

and... now i'm counting my chickens, i hope we show up against BC

3/6/2012 10:33:48 AM

i believe he is talking about the CBI

Also, how far do we want Miami to go in the tourney? They better they do, the better our wins over them look but we don't want them to jump over us on the bubble.

i was referring to acc teams in the top 50 rpi, but i see that FSU at #41 didnt make it in 2007. either way, a very very high % of top 50 rpi acc teams are virtual locks.

Back when the ACC was good...

Think before you post people...for the betterment of Sports Talk. Or just don't post at all.

3/6/2012 11:04:19 AM

Maryland 49 rpi in 05-06 and didn't make it and 48th the year before that and didn't make it. Hardly unprecedented..

[Edited on March 6, 2012 at 11:09 AM. Reason : X]

3/6/2012 11:08:33 AM

oh ok, so because the acc is no longer good, we have changed the course of history.

If state finishes top 50 RPI and we don't make the field, then I'll acknowledge your prowess.

3/6/2012 11:10:21 AM

How about you just do a little research before you post something dumb. It takes like 10 seconds on google to look this shit up.

3/6/2012 11:13:40 AM

Hard to bring up the conference as a plus to your resume when none of State's good wins came against the ACC.

Also, as jbrick83 said, it's a bad year for the ACC. Best for State to keep quiet about the ACC.

Kevmc86's ignorance is hardly unprecedented. He has a long history of asinine statements on these boards. If I remember correctly, my calling him out on some of these led him to challenge me to a fight in 2009.
