  1. i agree with you on this is a different team since December however the committee chair has been quoted as saying a win or loss in November is the same as a loss or win in March. People are human and it would be hard not to see a different more defensive minded team than what we saw in January. The example I give about the committee sticking to this would be our team last year. Our wins early last year against Pittsburgh butler and smu was the reason why we were a 10 seed last year even though we lost 4 of 5 games down the stretch and every bracketologist has us in the first 4 games in Dayton or completely out of the tournament. Whatever seed we get I'm just glad we finished the regular season strong. Anything can happen in the tournament so all you can ask for is a team that has a chance and we definitely have a chance for a deep run

    he is making fun of my comparison of being competitive as penn st and northwestern. He must of missed the penn st team in 2010-11that made the tournament

    I can already tell I'm not a fan of ESPN highlighting the 3 point line in red during the game when someone shoots a 3 like they have in these early acc tounament games. Hopefully it's only an acc tourney thing

    i have no problem with people who do count his first 2 years against but I'm not one of them. I take myself back to those years and ask myself did I really think we had a chance to compete in the big 10 and I absolutely didn't think we would or could. The 3rd however he should not get a pass by anyone in my opinion while we probably wasn't going to compete for the title we should of at least had a team that was more competitive. Northwestern and penn st always found ways to compete despite having lesser talent so there should of been no reason we couldn't of competed with less talent
  6. are they over seeded or do they just underperform the seed they earned in the tournament? It also goes to show you how important winning 1 championship for a coach can be. That 1 championship allows self to lose to bucknell, northern Iowa and whicita st without out him getting hammered by Kansas fans

  8. it is the 3 losses to +114 rpi teams that is the difference in our resumes. They have 1 bad loss to Nebraska at home. Here's both resumes http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/teamId/127 http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/sort/RPI/teamId/84

    Predictions for Big Ten and NCAA tournaments

    this year I could see any 3 seed losing to a 14 seed as well. Last year I thought there was no way UAB could beat Iowa st I was wrong, I also didn't think Georgia st could beat Baylor. Last year 2 of 4 three seeds lost You got to love March

  25. if you remember last year we benefited from it. Our wins over smu, Pittsburgh, butler early in the year is why after we lost 4 of 5 at the end of the year we still got a 10 seed ( lunardi had us out of the tournament while other bracketologist had us in the first 4 in Dayton)
