People should root for him. He's gone elsewhere for grad school but he's got an MU degree. If we don't consider him an MU guy then half of us on this board who went elsewhere for MA/MS, MBA, or any Doctorate degree shouldn't be considered MU people either.
Is Nevada going to be the first team in the NCAA tournament to give up 70 in a half? Why exactly did they get in?
2 duds in a row from the Mountain West in the play-in games in back to back years as Wyoming was beaten last year. MW is 2-11 since 2016 (about to be 2-12), both wins by Nevada. If they have another bad year, the committee shouldn’t do them any favors next year regardless of resumes.
This gonna be another expose the MW tourney??Seriously let the top 2 in each year and move on.
This is why P6 teams with questionable resumes were still under consideration last week.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Yep. People overestimate how good you have to be to make the last 4 in. If Nevada didn't get picked here were the first four out:Oklahoma State, barely beat Youngstown State in the first round of the NITRutgers, lost to Hofstra in the first round of the NITNorth Carolina, ducked the NITClemson, lost to Morehead State in the first round of the NITThese were the best of the rest
I mean, I'm not sure teams are super motivated by playing an NIT game. I'm not sure that's a good way to evaluate how good a team is. There have been some bad teams to make the last 4 in, and then there have been some teams that have gone on very good runs (UCLA and VCU to Final Fours) from the last 4 in.
First poster of the Tournament.
And I don't get the notion that a team isn't motivated by playing in an NIT game--if you have a chip on your shoulder because you think you belonged in the NCAA, you should be especially motivated to prove the committee wrong--that seemed to be the case for both Xavier and Texas A&M. And both teams build on the NIT to make the NCAA this year.The fact that UNC doesn't want to play in the NIT seems to fit their culture of half-assing it all year.
R-E-L-A-X. We're 10 minutes into the first game of an 11:15 tip. Sticking a fork in Maryland right now is a bit premature. Maybe they'll get blown out. But maybe they'll settle in.
