pmoehrin Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Fab Melo's out for the NCAA Tournament with another eligibility issue...So much for the Syracuse going all the way pick.Hello Kentucky bucking the trend of number one overall seeds not winning the National Title.Also that UNC-Asheville upset pick is looking like a very realistic possibility because UNC-Asheville is a really good team and now Syracuse is without their best player.

RyanB06 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I guess Melo wasn't that Fab in the classroom.

Kramerica Industries Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think the awful 2008 Georgia Bulldogs team that went on a miracle run to win the SEC Tournament had a losing record.Their reward as a 14 seed, probably the lowest a major conference team can ever get.EDIT - Thanks to their tourney run, they finished 18-16 going into the NCAA. They were 14-16 entering the SEC Tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never happened in the tournament proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still went something like 3-1 without him, including a win at Cincinnati. I think they can handle rounds 1 and 2 no problem, but it my money bracket, I have them going out to a good-shooting Vanderbilt team. Bummer. They lost their starting center the last time they were a 1 seed (2010) and this time they have a worse backup. The rest of the team is better though. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 In advance, can I please request that we not mention the NIT (or CBI for that matter) unless something incredibly noteworthy occurs, like a bench clearing brawl or an on-court death.

pmoehrin Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Holy cow. In two years the concept of the First Four has gone from skepticism to "great idea" (both games this year and VCU considered).I would get rid of it in a second if I could.Like I said earlier I would be in favor of going to 96 only if any team winning the regular season conference title got an automatic bid, but that was not going to happen so I was and still am and against it.The 68 team idea I don't like at all. It was an obvious compromise decision and now we have messed up brackets every year in part because the inmates have taken over the asylum although thankfully not to the extent they have in college football at least for now.

I think since the NCAA went to 64 the NIT serves no purpose. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'd like to see the NCAA tournament have 31 teams in it. If you're not the best team in your conference, you're not the best team in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
