Quote from: The Sultan on June 19, 2025, 02:40:12 PMWhy do you think that expansion of the tournament, or any other playoff expansion, means that a sport doesn't care about their fans?
Who wants this?  If Marquette snuck in as the 70th team, it would not do anything for me.  And those are the kind of extra teams that are going to be added, teams in the bottom 40% of the big conferences.  I guess I just don't see the appeal.

Sorry, but this is preposterous. If Marquette made a Sweet 16 or Final Four run from the 70 spot, no Marquette fan would be turning off the games or apologizing for the run because it started on the bubble.

I would because it would be embarrassing to be a Cinderella with a wide gap between us and the rest of the schools

do Miami Heat fans not recognize their run to the Finals in 2023 since they came from the play in tournament?

Shaka doesn't recognize his Final Four run at VCU for that exact reason.

Some MU fans don't recognize that at all point out other coaches that have made a Final Four while ours hasn't.

I like it. I would be fine if it were even larger.

I don't think it's polite to discuss Cinderella's wide gap.

Edit: maybe I read that wrong.

Yep he says this now but if they would make a run to the sweet 16 or elite 8 he'd be loving it just like in 2011 when MU.....the 26th rated team on pomeroy.....snuck in as an 11 seed.

This whole idea that a team shouldn't be in the tournament if they can't win it all  is also strange.......when St Peter's beat Kentucky and Purdue on the way to an Elite 8 were fans complaining because they weren't going to win it all? I don't think so.

The great thing about the tournament is each round is its story........sweet 16 means something.......so does elite 8 and final 4..........only a real kill joy would just call them all losers ........the journey is the reward not only for the players and coaches but the fans.
