West Virginia vs Morehead State:

 

[IUfanBorden]

If you are a replacement team,how do handle a possible NIT invite? And how does the NIT handle this?

 

[SpartanJD]

How does the committee justify seeding this resume ahead of MSU?

What happens to that streak if you get games taken away? Asking for a friend.

Nothing.

It is your best chance of hanging on to the all-time wins record though.

Selection Committee is chaired by Kentucky's AD Mitch Barnhart.

Mitch why did Louisville miss the tournament?

Hey man we still have that going into the next year so it's ok. We can cross that bridge when you actually get to it.

Texas/Alabama playing for a Final 4.

Like the draw.

Bama is pretty overrated.

NIT is meaningless for bubble teams that fail to make it to the March madness. A replacement team should just reject NIT bids and take a chance for March Madness. Though I wonder how the seeding will work out if one of KU and Virginia drops out, they can’t just replace them directly by Louisville and Colorado right? They will have to reseed then?

He sounds like a UNC fan from a few years ago.

No excuses for Shaka this year.

No excuses for Shaka this year.

Except playing Hitler's other team BYU.

🤣😂

 

[WeAreDePaul]

I also think this first four out being eligible to take the place of a team with Covid issues is super dumb. What if Louisville is the first team out and then a 14 seed has Covid issues? Do they take their place or only if it is a similarly seeded type team? Whole thing seems super dumb.

they said during the show that if a automatic qualifier gets DQ'd they'd be replaced by a team in their conference.

 

[mkuwonder]

UL don’t make it but the Cuse does? Wow!😂

The crazy part about all this is Cuse/Louisville had two games scheduled this year, but both games got postponed (never rescheduled).

I mean I guess.....Just curious how it would work if say UL accepts an NIT bid, then a team goes down.

As for seeding....Not sure how they would do that. I'd say teams would move, up etc, etc...

 

[coryfly]

It's dumb. Should just be a forfeit. Make the best of it. Of course, after Tuesday it's done anyway.

 

[UL_1986]

Was kind of expecting this. NCAA really hates Louisville. Oh well, on to the nba.

 

[asindc]

I actually like that we got Rutgers, but then again Rutgers have had a lot of close losses against good teams

You’ll need reall good guard play to beat Rutgers. They legit play really hard.

Everyone in your mind is overrated except Texas.

 

[ExitFlagger]

I just realized that KU has a chance to meet Wichita St again. Any chance those dirtbags beat USC?

 

[IUfanBorden]

32 years and counting for KU. Now that Duke missed I wonder who the next closest is.

Technically its UNC with 27. No tourney last year. We all know they were not getting a bid, so its Michigan State at 23.

FTR, Gonzaga is at 21.

UNC missed out NCAA tournament in 2010, they almost won NIT that year.

 

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

Conference vs non conference

Look at their schedule.

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

Not really.

Bama's performance against OU says a lot.

Watch out for UCONN they were under seeded.

 

[ExitFlagger]

So KU was the lowest 3 but gets the overall 1? NCAA deep-dicking Self?

And how was WV #9?

 

[Noahtogo24]

Yeah, would love to hear how WVU was seeded higher than Oklahoma State...

Fart noises.

They definitely underseeded Oklahoma State and overseeded WVU.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Conference vs non conference

Look at their schedule.

Their OOC is really weak. Got drilled by Stanford, lost to Clemson and Western Ky, and lost to OU midseason. No notable wins.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Does Wisconsin still play super slow?

Eye-gougingly..........

We play really good defense and run

Not really.

Wrong. It was a meaningless 11 am road game right in the middle of what was at the time a season making or breaking conference run. If Bama has intensity and shoots well, they’d beat anyone in the country. Still can beat most not shooting great.

Ok St somehow lost twice to TCU.

 

[Noahtogo24]

Ok St somehow lost twice to TCU.

True- but beat WVU twice and was one of the only two teams to beat Baylor- but its not like wvu and oklahoma state got seeded WAY different, just wondering...

👀says what exactly..I don't think you can judge a team based on one game, and Bama only lost by 5 to Oklahoma.

Oklahoma despite their record is a hard team to figure out. Oklahoma beat three No. 3 seeds in the tournament (Texas, West Virginia, Kansas) including West Virginia 2x. The BIG12 is better than the SEC as a whole though this year.
