More like they didn't expect the Frogs to be a top-3 seed and get traveling considerations.
Right, but you can still get placed in FW even if you aren’t top 3. See it happen where a worse seed plays at home

The standard that you have to meet in order to make the NCAA tournament is a joke. Prove that you can beat a decent team about 1 out of every 3 times and you are in. That's about it. There are about 100 teams too many in D1 basketball and the NCAA tournament is twice the size it needs to be. I'd argue 4x too big. 16 teams is plenty, make the regular season very meaningful and people might tune in before March. And you'd still have a great tournament.
A most HT idea sir! Get plastic!Let's win every game from here until selection day and grab us like a 4 seed or something.
Very creative, nice job.
Or maybe just someone’s perspective is?Very creative, nice job.
Still don't understand the participation trophy mindset everyone seems to have, but oh well. Might as well invite another 68 teams and add another round, why not?
Just saw that Rutgers, Xavier, Memphis and Loyola (Chicago) are the "last four in" in the latest Bracketology as of today. Rutgers is 17-12, Xavier is also 17-12 (and 7-11 in their league), Memphis is 18-9 playing in the AAC, and Loyola, I guess going 13-5 in the Missouri Valley makes one a real contender for a D1 national championship.

One can strongly argue that the four week period of conference tournaments, bracketology, and the NCAA tournament is the best most engaging gig in sports. @Wexahu enjoys that debate. And Wex, the regular season matters a lot - just look at the Frogs’ season hangin’ on the edge until its last win, and now it is about seeding and enjoying the anticipation that the Horned Frogs are in. Many Frog fans are apathetic because the regular season has not been good to their team for decades, thus excluding them from The Big Dance - the season matters a lot.Worst case scenario, we lose today and our first round game. I think we end at a 10 seed.
Best case we win today, maybe steal a game or two in the tourney. Get up as high to a 6 seed.
My best guess, we end up at a 9 seed.
But, lots of other madness can happen in other conference tourneys and whatnot.
Absolutely love this time of year. Especially when the Frogs are part of it.
We're just gonna have to agree to disagree.One can strongly argue that the four week period of conference tournaments, bracketology, and the NCAA tournament is the best most engaging gig in sports. @Wexahu enjoys that debate.

Brackets are dragged into most offices. Old and new friends have their annual bracketology with a lot of head scratching while filling in those blanks. I participate in a Calcutta auction which is much fun.
The name “March Madness” is for good reason and appropriate. No other gig has a moniker like that.
Indiana, currently 9th place in their league. “First team out”. LOL!!!!!Indiana looking to get off the bubble and into the field.
Close vs. #8 Purdue.
I think atm Indiana is the first team out.
- There are probably at least 15 Division 1 conferences worse than the WCC. It's currently #9 in RPI out of 32 conferences.Why do they even allow Gonzaga to play in the NCAA tournament? It’s ridiculous.
