2015-16 NCAA Basketball Thread

[IU Hawks fan]

I would rather see the regular season champ from every league get the auto-bid. Conference tournaments aren't necessary.

If you like giving up free money, then sure.

 

[Chairman Mallard]

Oregon wins the Pac-12 with a win over UCLA last night. Best team they've had in a while. I still think they will probably get upset before getting too far in the tournament, they have looked very beatable many times away from Eugene.

North Florida got destroyed by Florida Gulf Coast in the Atlantic Sun tournament last night, but if Stetson (the #7 seed) wins, North Florida gets in the NCAA Tournament anyway since Stetson is ineligible due an APR penalty. North Florida was the regular season champion.

Austin Peay vs. Belmont has been a great game in the OVC semis.

So, basically, Florida Gulf Coast is automatically the first team in to the tournament. Yay.

Not if Stetson wins. Besides, Yale is in with a win tomorrow, and the Ohio Valley has their title game tomorrow.

The A-Sun title game is Sunday.

I am a dummy.

Hey, quick question:

Which men's teams didn't make their conference tournaments, either by postseason bans or tournament rules?

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Belmont loses. No tournament, right?

Other than Louisville and SMU, I don't know.

NIT since they won the regular season... but yeah, they aren't even close to the bubble.

 

[member 51464]

After winning its 12th-straight conference championship, Kansas needs one more next year to match UCLA for longest streak all time. Pretty nuts. I gotta say, even if they don't do it, I think KU's is more impressive considering the changes in the game since then. Thoughts?

 

[rangerssharks414]

Wichita State loses to Northern Iowa again. Will thry get in? I think they might, but I'm not sure. Van Vleet's injury should be a factor, but their resume still sucks.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

If Northern Iowa loses then no. Northern Iowa has a better resume.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Northern Iowa has better wins, but they have a lot of bad losses.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Austin Peay was below .500 in conference play. They are now going dancing.

Any bet the Governors are one of the 4 16th seeds to play in the play-in game?

 

[BigMac1212]

Also, 1 down, 67 to go.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I'd have to do more research, but I wouldn't bet against that.

Yale is up 13 with just over a minute left. It looks like they're going dancing.

 

[BigMac1212]

Yale is going dancing.

I still don't think they take Wichita unless its on rep.

On another note I don't think Syracuse is the lock the TV makes it out to be. They are only 19-12.

Oregon State is interesting. Northwestern too. If they win today they have 20 wins. That used to be a big threshold.

Oregon State should be in. Northwestern is nowhere close.

if Murray didn't get an at large last year no way belmont gets one this year

Northwestern has an RPI of 113, they beat nobody out of conference and are Sub-.500 in B1G play. ONLY chance they have at the NCAAs is winning the conference tourney.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

I hope they don't take Oregon state. They really aren't that good.
