lol. At least there's one team who'll play in the CBI if they don't make the NIT

Quote :

"CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Sean Singletary's career at Virginia isn't over. The school announced Saturday that it has already accepted an invitation to play in the inaugural College Basketball Invitational if it does not get a bid to the NIT. The CBI is a new tournament that will involve 16 teams. It will be staged by The Gazelle Group, which is based in Princeton, N.J., and runs the 2K Sports College Hoop Classic that benefits Coaches vs. Cancer and the O'Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic. The NCAA invites 65 teams to its tournament and the National Invitation Tournament, which started in 1938, selects 32. The NIT reduced its field last season from 40. The CBI intends to compete with the NIT for teams that did not make the NCAA's field of 65, but Virginia said it will give preference to the established tourney. The Cavaliers (15-15) lost to Georgia Tech in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament this week despite the presence of Singletary. The point guard this month became the third Virginia player selected to the All-ACC team three times. Ralph Sampson and Bryant Stith are the others. If Virginia winds up in the CBI, it will play a home game Tuesday night. The fields for all three postseason tournaments will be announced Sunday."

3/16/2008 8:26:20 PM

Jesus Christ, they gave Maryland a #5 seed??

Fuck, when they were a #1 seed they lost to Manhattan two years ago.


Also, putting two ACC teams in the same region was horrible Bracketology and Sean Singletary got snubbed, Al Thornton style.

[Edited on March 16, 2008 at 8:49 PM. Reason : Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck]

3/16/2008 8:46:02 PM

so we didn't make it i take it.

3/17/2008 9:30:52 AM

Are you truly dumb enough to believe that the last-place team in any conference deserves to play in a postseason tournament?

3/17/2008 9:37:02 AM

^ welcome to sports talk. Howard/Earl is a troll. ignore him.

3/17/2008 10:06:38 AM

Georgia disagrees

Howard/Earl keep pushing your luck

3/17/2008 3:14:55 PM

^^Agreed

^ Agreed

3/17/2008 3:34:48 PM

3/18/2008 12:01:01 AM

3/18/2008 8:52:37 AM

ok, i'll admit, i'm impressed by minnesota's improvement this past year. tubby smith sure has them on the right track.

3/18/2008 9:07:35 PM

considering you are "both" idiots, then what difference does it make

Earl might as well be Howard

3/18/2008 9:11:23 PM

its stupid though. we are nothing alike. I disagree with many of earls fundamental principles. I could see if I was a student of earl and was following up on his teachings through my pots on the board but its not even close. just ignorance

3/18/2008 11:41:06 PM
