2021 Tournament thread

[Medford M.]

I mean, Oregon State didn’t have a great regular season. NET or not. They lost to a lousy Wyoming team, and followed it with a loss to a bad Portland team that didn’t win a WCC game. But they are a pretty talented team. And they’ve put it all together the last couple weeks

NET is just a tool, you look at the NET rankings and they mostly make sense. The tool is mostly fine. The problem is terrible media exposure for the Pac 12. A combination of east coast bias and incompetent Larry Scott.

I have issue with how the selection committee seems to disregard NET sometimes. Michigan State was 15-12 with a 70 NET, and they get in? Top 10 NET, 25-4 Loyola gets an 8?!

Halftime announcer with the niceness: “Oklahoma State says they need to play looser, be more like the Beavers.”

So your saying Wisconsin is not ATHLETIC enough to bear a Baylor? Is that what you are saying Coach Lappas?

Lappas reminds me of Jason Bateman in the film Dodge Ball.

Yep. That’s a committee problem. Not a NET problem. Loyola is clearly one of the 10 or so best teams in the country. And the net reflects that. So does KenPom.

True. I think an average of NET and KP is generally better than using one or the other.

How many shots from two feet away can the beavers miss?

Chuck talking about the oral roberts v. arkansas game: "Don't you guys see the irony in these two teams playing each other? Oral Roberts v. 40 minutes of hell?"

 

[Hallett Hell]

Time out Tinkle!!

CBS does itself no favors using NBA guys for the show. As much as they are funny for the NBA stuff, it would be nice to use Ernie with just College guys

Chuck and Kenny are ignorant about what has happened all college season.

Okie turned up the pressure and these beavers started melting hard. But their D is limiting the damage.

 

[DBT]

Uh O

 

[Medford M.]

Needed that!

 

[Darth Snow]

The amount of energy okie light just extended to cut into this lead was immense. and the beaves made every single one of those dagger 3s against us that they are now missing...

 

[Hallett Hell]

Beavs are pissing this away

 

[torero]

Oregon State blowing this lead makes me really think that they should fire Tad.

They are doing everything they can to force us to fire tad.

 

[torero]

There are going to be a lot of free throws down the stretch in this game. 11 minutes left and both teams already in the bonus.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

If Oregon State wins, we better win!
If Oregon State loses, I really really want us to win!

 

[Darth Snow]

Okie lite feeling the energy they burned now. Cade's gonna have to carry them home.

 

[torero]

There should be tournament games in Hinkle every year. Same is true for Madison Square Garden.

Good news for Okie State is he's been doing that without fail for three weeks now.

Such a cool venue

 

[Alfred91]

Conference success vs my bracket success?

 

[FM-Buff]

Final Four in MSG every year would be something. Makes too much sense for NCAA though.

Stop playing basketball games in football stadiums.

I have seen so many missed layups in the last 3 days....

Be kind of a dick move to steal the last thing the NIT has, tbh.

Now thats just hilarious! Keep the fire Tad theme going.

Lots of missed layups in all college games every day every year. It’s part of college basketball.
