LOL at ESPN, Minny is "in", ILL is "in" MSU should be "in"

LOL at ESPN, Minny is "in", ILL is "in" MSU should be "in" Heck.........EVERYONE is in and SHOULD be in. Just once how about a honest commentary: 1. Only 65 teams go. Tell us teams that are going to get screwed over, AND teams that don't deserve bids. Further, let's call the Purdue spade a spade. We give them a NO.6 seed, recognizing whoeever they play is getting a monster gift. RIDICULOUS to seed them 3-4 IMO. I will keep saying it. NO WAY an Old Dominion type team gets the Purdue gift. NO WAY. They will give it to a Mid tier Big East team. Or ACC. IT's GIVEN.

Agree. while mid majors make the tourney great the NCAA is all about money. I think this injury is as big as Kenyon martins and we know how that ended up. hopefully they sneak one win in so we can find the perfect spot. they cannot score without hummel creating offensive flow.

Big 10 is mediocre. Lets see how they do in the dance.

Virginia Tech being in is a joke. Look at this no conference schedule. Nov 15 Brown W 69-55 (Philly Classic) Nov 17 UNC Greensboro W 59-46 Nov 23 @ Campbell W 71-60 Nov 27 vs Temple L 50-61 (Philly Classic) Nov 28 vs Delaware W 74-66 OT (Philly Classic) Dec 1 @ Iowa W 70-64 (Big Ten-ACC Challenge) Dec 6 Georgia W 74-62 Dec 9 VMI W 98-73 Dec 12 @ Penn State W 66-64 Dec 19 Charleston Southern W 73-50 Dec 22 UMBC W 71-34 Dec 30 Longwood W 85-50 Jan 2 vs Seton Hall W 103-94 OT Jan 18 NCCU W 72-30 1 Tournament team on this list: Temple VT beat Clemson, Wake and at Ga Tech. All 3 of those teams are worse than Wisky or Michigan St. Meanwhile, here is Illinois's schedule: Nov 13 SIU-E W 96-69 Nov 17 Northern Illinois W 80-61 Nov 21 Presbyterian W 94-48 Nov 24 Wofford W 78-64 (Las Vegas Invitational) Nov 27 vs Utah L 58-60 (Las Vegas Invitational) Nov 28 vs Bradley L 68-72 (Las Vegas Invitational) Dec 2 @ Clemson W 76-74 (Big Ten-ACC Challenge) Dec 5 Boise St W 84-77 Dec 8 Vanderbilt W 79-68 Dec 13 Western Michigan W 88-53 Dec 19 vs Georgia L 67-70 Dec 23 vs Missouri L 68-81 Jan 2 vs Gonzaga L 83-85 OT FOUR tournament teams on this list. Illinois has two wins over Wisconsin and a win over Michigan State.

Make that 5 on the Illinois schedule. I forgot Wofford.

Pomeroy has Minnesota ranked 16, Michigan St 25, and Illinois 53. One of these things is not like the others. And giving Purdue a 6 seed is so ridiculous it doesn't even deserve comment.

the ACC looks really really down this year. Outside of Duke and Maryland, the rest look terrible mediocre. When VT is your 4th best team, it says a LOT about how poor things are for them this year. BigEast gets all the love but their OOC record against the other power conferences is below .500 Big12 record was around 24-12 OOC against the big boys and the top 4 in that league are playing very well. OSU, Mizzou and Texas all could get a first round win but wont go far When the smaller conferences had better representation in the tournament committee, they got better draws and we saw the cool upsets. Now as it's been pointed out, they get shitty draws each year. Butler vs WKy first round! Big10 always seems crappy but they seem to pull out good wins each year with Wisky, OSU and MSU.

The eye test makes the big 10 and the pac 10 look like shit. However, Kobe Bryant made a comment the other day about how "pretty offense doesnt win championships. You have to dirty the game up". These teams definitely know how to do that.

on paper, the CAL bears dont even deserve to get in..compared to florida or miss state, cal didnt win their conference bid. they certainly shouldnt be seeded higher than washington who won the confernce bid,and beat cal TWICE, and have a better record

Sienna gets Purdue
