rams80 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Quite a few have accused the NCAA of racism for instituting this APR policy...personally I think it's the OPPOSITE since they're making every school go by the same standards. (What WOULD be racism is if they decided HBCUs couldn't meet the standards so they have to lower them for them).But I digress...so far Albany and Tulsa clinched autobids today (by beating Stony Brook and Louisiana Tech in the conference title games, respectively)Burmeister, the APR doesn't do to improve academic or performance at NCAA institutions. All it does is serve as a scarlet letter marring certain programs based on some subjective rubrics. It's far more a cynical ploy to make it look like the NCAA cares about its athletes than it is an attempt to actually do anything to benefit them.

New Orleans did after Katrina.New Orleans cancelled the decision to go to Division III Charlie Gordon. And dropping to Division II doesn't really do anything for the schools given the degree of cutbacks in state funding. Hell, it might just piss off the remaining donors for those schools and then the financial situation at those schools is going to get really dicey.

Billy B Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Michigan State advances past Wisconsin in the Big ten tourney. Michigan State is a really scary team when healthy. I can see both them and Michigan making runs in the tournament. Michigan would probably be my pick to win it all if they had McGary. I still think they have a good shot to make it to the Final Four without him, Stauskus is just a great player.There's some good games going on out west right now. UCLA wrapped up the Pac-12 in a tight one with Arizona and the Mountain West Championship looks like it's going to come down to the last possession as well.And for the people discussing #1 seeds yesterday, Michigan is getting one if they win tomorrow.

ninersdd Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Arizona isn't gonna go deep if they continue with this ineptness from the FT line. Just like the ASU game it cost us.UCLA is 4-1 vs AZ last 2 years, yet they're 1-2 against Washington State.

Raysfan12 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Cards are AAC champs! Finally, they can leave that conference and play Syracuse, Duke, and UNC in the ACC next year. Hopefully, they get a 2 or 3 seed during Selection Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, they get a 2 or 3 seed during Selection Sunday. I'm surprised that, of all people, you would put them that low. The reason I say this is because they were predicted to be underdogs for a 1 seed this morning by Joe Lunardi.

The reason I say this is because they were predicted to be underdogs for a 1 seed this morning by Joe Lunardi. You are underrating your own team? I'm saying that because Louisville's resume isn't as good as last years. Lets see: Swept by Memphis, lost to UK and UNC and the conference isn't as tough as the ACC or Big Ten (USF, Temple, and Rutgers are atrocious). Though they're playing like a 1 seed and are a threat to win it all, but I'm being realistic. If they get a 1 seed, I'll be happy. If they don't, I'm not mad. All that matters the Cards storm back to Dallas and winning it all again (destroying Arizona, Wichita State, or Syracuse along the way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Tomorrow has the final five automatic bids to be given outAtlantic Coast - Greensboro, NC#2 Duke Blue Devils vs. #1 Virginia CavaliersRecordsDUKE: 26-7 (13-5)UVA: 27-6 (16-2)It's been 20 years since the Cavs have reached the ACC championship game, but here they are as the top seed and facing powerhouse Duke. The winner of this game will more then likely be a number 1 seed when the brackets are announced later that day. Which team takes home the title?Atlantic 10 - Brooklyn, NY#4 St. Joseph's Hawks vs. #2 Virginia Commonwealth RamsRecordsSJU: 23-9 (11-5)VCU: 26-7 (12-4)A funny thing happened in the A-10 tournament. St. Bonaventure's upset of top seed St. Louis opened the door for St. Joseph's, who needed help to get off the bubble and into the field of 68, to make a run. VCU fans don't care, because the Rams are still pretty good. Can VCU take home a win or do the Hawks fly high with a tournament championship?Sun Belt - New Orleans, LA#3 UL-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns vs. #1 Georgia State PanthersRecordsULL: 22-11 (11-7)GSU: 25-7 (17-1)Traditionally, the Sun Belt was one of the first tournaments to be done. Now, it's one of the last... part of the changing times, I guess. The expansion has helped the Sun Belt as Georgia State has come in and made themselves home pretty quickly with a near perfect conference record. UL-Lafayette took care of second seed Western Kentucky to get here. Do the Cajuns pull off the upset or can the Panthers truly make themselves at home with a tournament title?SEC - Atlanta, GA#2 Kentucky Wildcats vs. #1 Florida GatorsRecordsUK: 24-9 (12-6)UF: 31-2 (18-0)Nothing like a heavyweight battle between two powerhouse programs to get the sense that the Big Dance is around the corner. For Kentucky, it's a shot at redemption after last season's disaster that saw them in the NIT, going on the road as the 1 seed and then getting upset by Robert Morris. For Florida, it's simple: Winning this game means they'll be the number 1 overall seed when the brackets come out. Which team can take care of business?Big Ten - Indianapolis, IN#3 Michigan State Spartans vs. #1 Michigan WolverinesRecordsMSU: 25-8 (12-6)MICH: 25-7 (15-3)The final automatic bid on the line gives us a traditional rivalry game. Michigan State and Michigan just plain don't like each other and now you throw in the stakes of a Big Ten Tournament title and a possible number 1 seed in the NCAA tournament? Then you get a blockbuster game. Which team will rise to the occasion? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 My first 4 games:Cal poly vs Texas southernMount saint Mary's vs woffordStanford vs Louisiana techDayton vs Green BayThere is no way Louisiana Tech or Green Bay gets in over Minnesota, Florida State, or Nebraska. And Stanford has a much better resume than the teams that will be playing in the First Four games.That fourth 1 seed is going to be really hard to call if Michigan loses tomorrow. I'm leaning towards the winner of the ACC Championship, but Duke, UVA, and Villanova all have really similar resumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
