Where is IU going to end up on this board 

 

On one of those lines? Although I prefer the middle line the best

[Hoosierfan1901 6,243]

Ugh, no Louisville magical run

[LIHoosier 26,148]

Wilmington lead Charleston 27-24 at half. Fugly shooting from both sides.

Better question, hypothetically, let's say Louisville had won today, went on a wild run and won the ACC tourney... Where would the committee have seeded them?

He is about as good as Selvin Mack lol.   CBS usually puts them on here during the week when no one is watching.   CBS SN is usually a guarantee spot on a muted tv in the college basketball room

Since they would have won the tourney and got the auto bid they can’t send them to  Dayton for the first 4 games.     Winning it also means winning 5 games against against ACC competition.    I would guess 14 seed range in that hypothetical

So why couldn't they send Louisville to the first 4 but 16 seeds who win their conference tourneys get sent? 

 

IMO, the first 4 should be the 11 and 12 seeds only and the last 8 at larges only. Just my opinion though.

Always have a place in my heart from Hibbert from him being a long time Pacer.  But man did his career end quickly once he left.

I guess technically they could send them as one io the last seeded  teams   but if they won 5 straight ACC games then there would be no chance on the true seed list they would be that far down.    First 4 is the last 4 teams on the seed list 65-68 and the last 4 at-large teams

Hot take:  teams that are 16 seeds that get the play in game actually don't mind it.  Unless something very strange happens (think it's happened only once), 16 seeds aren't going to win a game UNLESS they are in the play in game.  Get in the play in game as a 16 seed and you're the only college game on at the time.

Agree on the first 4 being the last 8 at-large teams but you know who doesn’t want that.   The commissioners and athletic directors and coaches of the smaller conferences that get sent to the first 4.    The winner goes in the history books as a win in the ncaa tournament for that school and that’s a unit for the conference and schools.  More  Money for the conferences that would otherwise get destroyed by a 1 seed.  Plus for me my wife and I enjoy those 16 seeded games at the first 4 when we go.  Always fun getting caught up in the atmosphere between 2 small teams and fan bases in their Super Bowl

I just looked at NET and there are several conferences that don't have a single Quad 1 win where Uof6 would hypothetically have added 3.

Wilmington!!

Sorry to quote you again. The NCAA should really add a second site for the first four games that get sent out west. Keep Dayton for the east/midwest regions and have another similar school/arena in Texas for the south/west. Still bitter about IU winning in Dayton then going 2,000 miles west for a game that tipped right after they landed.

15-0 run for UNCW and they are up 7.   Charleston is in trouble.  9:26 to go

One thing I always wondered was when Georgetown won the 2020-21 Big East tournament, they were seeded at 12, which put them below all the at large bids but on the top line with the auto bids.  But it did seem to me that there were a couple of 13 seeded auto bids that had better resumes (Liberty, North Texas).  Kind of wondered if the NCAA committee basically slotted that 12 seed spot for an at large team OR Georgetown if Georgetown won.  I know you've said they really don't look at Saturday/Sunday games, so I wonder if a power 5 conference champion is one that potentially wouldn't have been invited if they just seed them where the last at large team would be just in case they do win their tournament.  It might keep them from needing to shift other things.

I wouldn’t like that since I go to Dayton every year to watch the First 4 but it definitely would make a lot of sense to do that

Let's go Norse!

A battle of the Norse and Vikings in 2023, seems appropriate with how the last few years have gone

IF Charleston loses.....are they at large worthy?  I know no team with 29 wins over D1 competition has ever been excluded but I also know their schedule.....oof.
