This has really nothing to do with the game, but what I hate is that X fans don't really embrace it. Or, the "narrative" is that X is the plucky little underdog still. They run out teams full of...

Surprised might not be the right word, but I think certain things can only be developed when you're tested against top notch competition. Clark, Washington, and Evans all started last year, but there...

Do you know if they are practicing defense with the 6 team fouls every visiting team is given at the start of each half in Cintas?

Iowa now joins the 187 KenPom UC Irvine, D2 University of Mary Marauders, and #344 (of 351)KenPom Alabama State as the only teams to lose to South Dakota State. Wyoming may end up a better win this...

I'm beating a dead and decaying horse here, but I made the point ad nauseam last year that it is the height of stupidity to use something like top 50 RPI wins while completely ignoring individual RPI...

Correct. So the two options in the AAC seem to be:
1) Be a top 5 team
2) Get seeded anywhere 6 (MAYBE 5) - 8.

I think that's really stupid, but no one in the committee is asking for my opinion.

That's the part that is crazy. UC was 12th in RPI. So in the eyes of the committee, beating UC is a top 20 win. Yet when they go and seed UC, they decide they aren't one of the 20 best teams. Same...

It would be easier to say with a straight face that we deserved a 4 seed if I had any idea what they were basing the seeds on. According to KenPom, yes we were better. Sure, we lost to Butler, but...

I disagree with this. "Beating a pile of crap and getting to the Sweet 16" is also known as "The Xavier Way." And they're always talked about as a team that makes runs in March because of it.

I agree. I heard the interview and didn't think anything of it. It is worth pointing out another bad thing about the AAC is the garbage officiating they end up with night after night. Every other...

It seems like outside of Cincinnati, the Iowa State game never happened. The weird thing is how the committee seems to be leaning toward rewarding losing over winning. Teams like Clemson, Georgia...

I was looking at this a few days ago. The only UC team I could find that finished the conference tournament was the 01-02 team that finished 30-3 and was a 1 seed. If this team finishes 30-4 and can...

I'm probably easier on Mick than some, possibly because we are both Lancers, but the part about the NCAA seeding seemed less whining and more just answering a question. I believe he was asked what he...

This may be counterintuitive, but as long as UC is mired in the 4/5 slot, I'd rather they get slotted as a 6 seed than a 4 or 5. Historically, the 12/13 teams are top-notch mid-major. One of those...

I was like 6-12 during UC's runs in the 90's so I didn't pay much attention to other teams and conference strength, but it doesn't seem like UC got docked as much for C-USA as they're getting for the...

I agree with the Villanova sentiment. It seems like with the exception of a couple of years Villanova was always in the middle of the pack in the Big East while UC was in the conference. The Big East...

The ref that called Caupain out of bounds blatantly blew that call. I could tell watching it live that he had 2 feet in bounds when he caught the ball. The ref wasn't even looking at his feet, just...
