forgive me, i got my directional dakota state schools mixed up

3/15/2014 8:12:29 PM

maybe we can get Herb to give us ASU's bid (that they don't deserve)

3/15/2014 8:14:07 PM

Didn't I just see that Lunardi had us next 4 out?

3/15/2014 8:50:17 PM

North Dakota State typo loller

3/15/2014 8:55:05 PM

That is the most fitting thing that has ever happened.

3/15/2014 9:03:12 PM

Overall I am pretty happy with this season. Got the acc player of the year, finished in the top half of the league, and were a bubble team.

3/15/2014 9:55:05 PM

not that we are getting in at this point...but really need providence to lose and sod far not so good.

NIT would be better anyway. More NITty Daddy references would be possible.

3/15/2014 11:39:42 PM

we are 7th out after the update for providence

3/15/2014 11:43:26 PM

^^LOL

3/15/2014 11:45:24 PM

NEXT 4 in the NIT

3/15/2014 11:45:59 PM

Warren Nolan has Arizona State, Xavier, North Carolina State, and Providence as the last four in.

62% of the time we get in every time

3/16/2014 10:19:53 AM

We'll be getting some air time tonight...if we're lucky, it will be some media members saying how we shouldn't have gotten in over some other team, rather than them saying we should've gotten in over some other team

I agree with this.

Being a brand new team, it took everyone a while to settle in and find their role, coaches included.

The team we watched yesterday is light years ahead of the team that lost to Central in November.

3/16/2014 10:26:06 AM

we are in the grey area that the NCAA reserves for it's own opinion. I think we have a shot at getting in although it's unlikely. If we get in it's because the NCAA feels like giving us a shot. We are probably 1st Four in IF we get in.

Luckily we have a very marketable team with ACC POY, so we'll see.

3/16/2014 10:40:29 AM

things like this prevent me from hating coachK/Duke half as much as I hate Rot/UNC. I hope the committee is listening:

3/16/2014 10:43:07 AM

We could be very dangerous in the tournament given that ACC teams have plenty of prior experience vs Warren and still couldn't draw up a D to stop him.

I can only imagine what teams that have never seen him before would have to deal with.

3/16/2014 11:17:02 AM

I think we're in.

It may be the play-in game, but compared to some of the other bubble teams we've got a really good case for being in the NCAA Tournament.

3/16/2014 11:20:42 AM

I think we've earned a playin game spot.

3/16/2014 11:38:32 AM

^^^^Yes, same here! Coach K loves basketball. He's the only the coach who will sit after a game and discuss at length specific things he genuinely admires about the opponent. And it's not like a "class act" type deal--he's really not a classy guy. He just seriously loves the game and can't resist talking about it.

3/16/2014 12:02:07 PM

The atlantic 10 having more teams in than the ACC is a joke. Also, .....Iowa? Really? They've lost 6 of their last 7, including the opening round of their tournament to Northwestern. We truly deserve to be in when you compare us to these weak bubble teams.

3/16/2014 12:03:13 PM

Kings of the Court: David Thompson is on ACC Network

3/16/2014 12:06:41 PM

so we actually have a shot? I was hoping to detach completely and then maybe find out later that NESWECSU was pissed that we got in over them and their 28-5 record vs nobody.

3/16/2014 12:22:02 PM

I want to know why the hell Brackets has FSU and Cal ahead of us (granted all outside the bubble)

FSU is so fucking mediocre
Cal is shit

3/16/2014 12:26:30 PM

I really don't understand why FSU is even in the conversation anymore. Their body of work across the season doesn't even compare to ours.

3/16/2014 12:37:02 PM

Clemson should get in over FSU, league rankings should matter

3/16/2014 12:49:26 PM

Can we please never schedule RPI killing teams like UNCG in our OOC ever again?

3/16/2014 12:52:16 PM

Two years ago everyone had us at 13 and we were 11. Now they have us next 4 out so we could slide in maybe.

3/16/2014 12:56:54 PM

Yep, our surprisingly good seed a couple of years gives me hope...

But then, I was sure even beating Dook wouldn't get us in this time

[Edited on March 16, 2014 at 12:57 PM. Reason : ]

3/16/2014 12:57:37 PM

last night I wasn't even planning on watching the selection show. But I'm slowly getting drawn back in, thinking maybe...just maybe...there's a chance.

3/16/2014 1:26:42 PM

^I know. I've been searching for a silver lining, and I was actually kinda relieved to be done with the stupid amount of anxiety I've had this past week. But it's back on!

3/16/2014 1:38:00 PM

I'll be shocked if we get in. Then again, even if we do, we'll probably still lose the first game by getting blown out to east bumfuck university. either that, or we'd be matched up against NCCU again, so we could get railed by them twice in the same year

3/16/2014 1:43:50 PM

jesus, you're a whiny bitch

3/16/2014 1:54:56 PM

how do my nuts taste? cause you are all over them all the time

3/16/2014 2:17:36 PM

Good one cool guy, but it's quite obvious you love the negative attention of being a whiny bitch.

3/16/2014 2:32:01 PM

Good one cool guy, but it's quite obvious you love the taste of my nuts.

3/16/2014 2:36:53 PM

Some of these A10 tems that are supposedly good to go are a joke.

St. Joe's, really?

Their 2 biggest wins this year are VCU and Umass, woohoo. They have losses to La Salle, Temple(9-22), and Richmond. If they lose to VCU today they will be 23-10 with no real impressive wins but somehow they 'locked up' their at large bid by beating St. bonaventure yesterday.

If we were able to sneak in I think we could put a few games together. Definitely more excited about this team than last year's at this point in the season.

----------

Other than VCU over St. Joes, is there anything we can pull for today to help our chances? Doesn't really look like it I guess

[Edited on March 16, 2014 at 2:40 PM. Reason : maybe we will get surprised. ]

3/16/2014 2:37:48 PM

I don't think either of you are all that cool, personally.

3/16/2014 2:43:19 PM

Southern Miss too, jeez. What is their record vs the top 50, 0-1? I see they played Louisville and nobody else all year. Losses against WKU, Tulsa, UAB, MTSU and La Tech.

Oh well, letting myself get worked up over nothing

3/16/2014 2:49:34 PM

Looks like St Joseph's is gonna pull it off. Whatever slim chance we may have had is probably gone after all these crap teams won their confs

[Edited on March 16, 2014 at 3:29 PM. Reason : is]

3/16/2014 3:06:24 PM

I think we should take Iowa's spot. They totally stunk it up down the stretch and the Big 10 shouldn't get more than 5 teams in this year, and the ACC should definitely get at least 6 teams in.

3/16/2014 4:01:33 PM

I think we are in

A good team with solid wins in the best conference in America.

And we are hot/dangerous. has to have some appeal.

3/16/2014 4:05:38 PM

Obviously you only need to be in the real one, but just for fun

Lunardi needs to update his shit more often

St Joes is an auto-bid now. Take them off the "last four byes" list

3/16/2014 4:10:33 PM

There was a dance card projection yesterday saying 72% of the time a team with our resume gets in

3/16/2014 4:11:14 PM

I've heard that dance card has been more accurate than Lunardi, so maybe......I remember Gottfried talked specifically about having a tougher schedule for times like this. I hope he's right about the committee rewarding tougher schedules.
