Imagine if UW-M goes to the dance this year and we don't. smh
SUPERBAR
UW-M to play for a NCAA berth. Maybe MU plays UWGB in the NIT?
UWGB TO NCAA

UWGB TO NCAA
If so, someone's bubble got burst. 52 RPI....right on the cusp going into the game. Milwaukee has a 162 RPI and that was a home game for UWGB. Not a good loss...likely to drop their RPI down to the mid 60's. They are going to be praying next Sunday.
GB was others receiving votes this week, win the horizon and with #25 Kentucky losing badly, they MIGHT have been ranked next week, for their second time in history.
Now that 25 spot might go to Harvard, winner of the Ivy.
Both Sykes and Aaron looked good runnin' the point last night, hey?

Yes sir
GB at 57 right now, so not that bad a drop. Though 57 puts them in a real tough spot.
Wardle has never been to the NCAAs. Not as a player and not as a coach.
That's unbelievable to me. Guy is jinxed.
While their resume says bubble, I can easily see GB getting the Dayton nod. The committe has had a few outliers the last few years, and GB fits the mold. A lot of "experts" had jumped on the Phoenix bandwagon and think GB's win over Virginia makes them reason enough to be that outlier.
Have seen the "experts" opine that there's no way UWGB goes.
I would hope the committee considers UWGB's top players were injured last night.
Put them in.
UWGB down to 61 RPI now. They're definitely sweating it.

UW-milwaukee to play Wright State. Imagine a scenario where UW-milwaukee wins, UWGB sneaks in and Wisconsin gets a 1 seed while MU is in the NIT. Holy craptacular meltdown here.

Not sure any other MU fan or poster on this board has even given the above scenario a shred of thought...and personally I don't care what GB and UWM do..Wisconsin can be annoying and I'll root against...but if those 3 made and we didn't...wouldn't care...what I care about is MU...and we had a terribly frustrating and disappointing season..and will be in the NIT.

This may be true,
we only care about MU and IU here, our natural rival....not the rest of the state.

That's ridiculous. UWmilwaukee doesn't matter. When we play them we beat them. Always. I hope they do well - good for the city.
UWGB is coaches by an MU cager. Hope they get in and do well.
Becky can **** it, same as every year.

Wardle and his class (Clausen and John Mueller, I believe) are the only 4 year players since 1991 not to have played in a NCAA game. Really sad for one of the best players we've seen in the last 25 years.
No way UWGB is in...

Bucky just lost in Lincoln to Nebraska ... no 1 seed this year.
And I agree with the others, Who thinks we are "competing" with every other program in the state? No one thinks of it this way.
Frankly, I'm happy if both UWM and GB get in. Doesn't matter to our program any more than say the state of Indiana getting shut out (no IU, ND, But or Pur going this year).

I used to work with Jeter as he was on staff when I was there, and Brian was on the squad when I worked there as well. I hope for nothing but cool vibes for both of them. It would not, however, make me very pleased to have been chosen to win the Big East and 5 months later every team in the state makes the NCAAs but MU. Hopefully MU finds a way to win 3 in a row.

I thought UW wasn't even going to make the tournament and didn't you quit the board the other day? ;) Welcome back.
Actually, many people in the state of Indiana are beside themselves that not one team is going to go....not even Indiana State. Been a long time since that has happened. They take great pride in hoops in that state. But when other teams do go and theirs doesn't, they aren't too happy about that either.
UW-m 4 minutes from dancing, up 7
As a #1 seed in their conference tournament and not winning the auto NCAA bid, GB is guaranteed a NIT spot.

Who cares? Who would meltdown over that? I'm glad UWM made it! And I hope GB does, too!
Good for the city and state Some of you sound like Fran
Buzz coaching fourth best team in the state? Haha

I just went through the thread again and didn't find a single negative post about UWM.

You jumped the gun there Rock. I said if we made the NIT, UWM goes NCAA, UWGB goes NCAA and UW-madison gets one seed.
We're not out yet, UWGB is going NIT, and Madison is unlikely to get a 1 seed...though still possible if they win the BTT.
Of course, when you read all the reach arounds here about them getting in, not totally surprising. Just wait for the columnists and the nut jobs to demand the return of the series, how MU ducks them, all the other wonderments that are sure to follow. Awesome.

None of that is going to happen. You're living in the 90's.

90's....that stuff happened as recently as the mid 2000's.
The part where I'm trying to reconcile with you, Lenny and a few others....you guys saying its all cozy and wonderful for UWm, be excited for them, cheer them, good for the city, blah blah. The same people that blast those of us that cheer for multiple alma maters, schools we actually went to, paid for, spent long hours studying, earning degrees, etc. To the point that one of the aforementioned said you can't actually cheer for more than one team.
Sorry if I don't find a lot of this rather interesting. Am I happy for Rob Jeter...absolutely. Good person. Am I happy for UW-m...don't really care. Am I happy for many of their tool fans, not a chance in the world.
