HoosierAloha Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Feeling good about our chances against OSU, but nervous about MSU a third time. It’s the old adage about it being difficult to beat a good team 3 times. If we beat OSU then MSU again, I will absolutely poop my pants. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersIf we make it to Friday I’d recommend depends or staying in the bathroom. I lived in the bathroom for a few days with the Korean crud, something I’d not wish on anyone. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app DLG3 and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
TheWatShot Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 In most cases, it really isn't that difficult to beat a team 3 times. That's a long-standing myth that's been repeated so often, people accept it as fact. In our case it might be, because MSU is actually a better team than us. DLG3 1 Quote

I know they just beat Michigan but there was some home cookin going on Quote

To your point though, we’ve escaped MSU twice, so not confident about doing it again. And yet, we’re playing better than all year right now. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

HoosierDYT Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Do we want Clemson or NC State to win tomorrow?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
Uspshoosier Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I would say NC State. I feel NC State would need to beat Virginia in the next round Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierDYT 1 Quote

JHoosier914 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Again, I understand that Lunardi is FAR from the ‘guru’ of bracketology, but if NC State is ahead of Clemson on their ‘last 4 in’ wouldn’t that mean Clemson would completely be knocked out while NC State might still be hanging on?Just trying to get a better grip this bracketology stuff.

Personally for me I have NC State last team in the first 4 out. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersMy early one from this year is in the bracketology and team resumes thread https://btownbanners.com/topic/10203-bracketology-and-team-resumes-thread/?page=27Posted on Feb 24.

MoyeNeeded Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Well, another at-large bid gone with the Gonzaga loss to St. Marys last night. Hope it wasn't our bid lol! Quote
ElectricBoogaloo Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Clemson up on NC State 27-13 halfway through the first. My understanding is that Clemson has a pretty good resume already for an at-large bid but NC State needs this win badly. Quote

JHoosier914 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Heard Dakich relay something a committee member (?) said about the NET being a heavily used instrument in the selection process. Who knows—but both these teams have NETs in the 30sSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
