Nope. We did in fact play them only one more time after the 97 tournament.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/boxscores/2015-11-21-illinois.html

We started 1-3 getting killed by North Florida, losing by 1 @Providence when Finke missed the game winning dunk in the final seconds, and then Chattanooga. We rebounded next game when JCL hit a three at the buzzer to get past juggernaut Chicago St.

Sorry for bringing back repressed memories.  :D

I would think that if you have a team on the bubble, and you have a choice between picking a team with a coach that isn't an asshat, and picking a team with a coach that is a repeat offender, proven asshat, you might steer away from said asshat. 

But it appears that the committee valued their SOS, regardless of getting murdered by all the good teams they played to get the SOS.

Anyway, whatever.  Michigan making the dance makes it far less likely that they fire him.  Which is actually good for us.

Post by: spark mandrill on March 14, 2022, 02:38:27 PM
I don’t think a coach’s behavior should play into whether a team gets a bid or not.  Their resume is what should.  I don’t think they should be in but it would be shameful if they kept them out because of Howard punching the dude.

Mark Few got a DUI but I haven’t heard anyone say it should hurt their seed.

I think everything should be factored in.  And I think it sucks that Few essentially got a pass for that DUI. 

These fucking coaches make their bank off of the backs of their players.  They should at least be held to some kind of standard of not being a jag.  If they own the program, they own it.  It's up to them to live up to some kind of standards.  And if their behavior affects their school's ablility to compete on the highest levels, then fine.  Does it punish the players? Yep.  But with NIL and relaxed transfer rules, maybe they can evaluate these assholes a little bit closer now.

On court behavior is part of the body of work, imo.

TAM should have gotten the bid, and a 17-14 record is NIT worthy.

It would be ridiculous for the committee to consider Howard’s “slap” in determining their worthiness of a bid.
Title: Re: 2022 NCAA Tournament
Post by: Jobu on March 14, 2022, 03:20:42 PM
I think everything should be factored in.  I don't think Michigan should have gotten in.  Based on how they performed this season.

The "slap" should be factored in, imo.  It shouldn't necessarily be a determining factor, but it should be considered.

Again, it's probably good in the long run that they got in.  Because Michigan won't fire him now.

Rutgers last possession of regulation.  15 seconds, tie game.  Do nothing until 5 seconds, drive to the 3 point line, and chuck a fade-away 3.  They deserved to lose.

This is like a disease in college basketball.  Instead of having a play drawn up, the plan, apparently, is have a guy play 1 on 5 and chuck one from deep at the buzzer.

Happens a lot.

I don't think it's a good idea for Loyola to try to take it to the rack against OSU.  They seem to have tried that a lot, with less than good results.

I'd love to meet you guys in the E8. You guys are a bad match up for us with Kofi's ability to guard Hunter 1 on 1 but I'd still like our chances against you more than our chances of beating Arizona. Who made us look like a biddy basketball team in our first meeting. So you guys take them out and we'll try not get our brains beat in by Nova (or OSU).

UCLA just had a huge injury. Jaquez out.
Jaquez is the best all around player for UCLA IMO. Makes tough shots, rebounds at both ends, best defensive player, and can even play PG when Tyger Campbell is in foul trouble or just catching his breath. He's had ankle problems all year, so not playing again until Friday is big. He's a tough kid. Juzang needs to be more consistent especially if Jaquez is slowed down against UNC. Pretty good game today against St. Mary's, pretty much in control the last 28 minutes. I wasn't sure Cronin would be a good fit for UCLA with his style of controlled offense and stressing tough defense but this team is good playing that style.

Michigan is the only team that played above its ability. Purdue may do well later tonight, but it seems like the B1G isn't as athletic as other conferences and isn't as good against non-B1G offenses as it should be.

Yep. The blueprint is right out there for everyone to see. It doesn’t include 7’ 285 centers playing 35 minutes alongside a bunch of guys who can’t make plays for the most part.

Was amazing to watch all these teams that can attack off the dribble and get looks at the rim or in the midrange.

The only returning players who had equal or worse stat lines than last year are Curbelo (terrible injury) and Williams (🤷🏻‍♂️)

Sometimes shit works out. Have to throw a lot of spaghetti at the wall, but look for the right kind to begin with.

Fun fact. Jaden Ivey was barely a top 100 guy in HS (89).

Another fun fact- the Murray twins at Iowa had no offers out of high school. Went to prep school.
Tony Perkins was 314. Guy is a fcking baller.

We need to find more kids with high athletic skills and potential and enough will work out.

The college game is increasingly like the NBA (which everyone here hates), but it relies heavily on the three, and guys who can make plays at end of shot clocks when the stuff you try and run breaks down.
And you need a few of them.

Look out for Michigan if they keep that group together and add to it a little bit next year.

Been saying this since the Weber days. I specifically remember watching a not even great Seton Hall team and thinking “our guys don’t look like that.”

I usually root for either underdogs, or storylines in the NCAA, so I guess I'll root for Duke to win it all in Coach K's last season.

Houston - don't care.
Purdue - it'd be cool if they won
Arkansas - don't care
Kansas/Providence - don't care
Duke - Coach K's last year be cool if they won
UCLA/NC - don't care
Iowa State/Miami - no shot
St Peters - no shot

So of teams that have a reasonable chance to win, i hope Duke or Purdue win it.

But ultimately, this is a very boring set of teams remaining.  Maybe Iowa State can pull it off.  To go from 2-28 last year to the Final 4 would be something. But other than that its hard to find a compelling underdog team to cheer for.

But really, fuck Wisconsin for having good metrics but not being actually good at basketball and predictably sucking in the tourney. You lose on your home court to fucking Nebraska with an outright B1G title on the line and still get a 3 seed? Fuck you.

Then these fucks flame out to a team that won two fucking games last year and added a bunch of just dudes.

And fuck Purdue who can’t guard a fucking shadow unless they’re playing Illinois. They looked like a team that had just played four games in four days.

And fuck Illinois who couldn’t hang with a team that lost 5 starters from last season. Once again quickness and athleticism rules the day.

Goddamned Rutgers finished fourth in this league and pretty much sucked ass any time they weren’t at home.

The B1G is soooo far behind the curve of NCAA tournament basketball it’s pathetic. Obviously matchups are supremely important. Some programs are newly healthy and others newly (or continuously) banged up.

But watching these last two tournaments most of the B1G teams don’t even belong on the floor athletically with the rest of the field that makes it to the second weekend. Gonzaga is in the same boat more often than not but they get gifted a protected seed every year.

Also, fuck Duke and UNC.

They can, depending on state law. And no argument over whether or not the state law regarding NIL, if it exists, is too lenient or too strict, please.

They are likely done without him. Plays huge minutes and is key player. This was not the most talented or deep team they have had to begin with.
Very efficient tempo control team with good starting group. Like a very good well coached Wisconsin with some actual athletes.

Good analogy comparing them to Wisky with better athletes. Wright definitely slows this game down. Of course, Self will want to speed the game up and attack the paint. This will be interesting to see which strategy wins out.

Poor FT shooting (12-20) hurt Duke, but the Blue Devils primarily lost the game by shooting only 5-22 from the 3pt line. North Carolina won despite having a mere 7 assists (on 27 made 2pt & 3pt FGs -- yikes) and only getting 13 minutes and 2 points from its bench. That's not going to cut it against Kansas, especially if Bacot isn't ready to go.

Two cheating blue bloods in the championship game. I wish both could lose. I suppose that's sort of possible. KU wins; then the IARP finally acts and hits them hard. Of course, that's not going to happen.

Good article:

"In October of 2017, North Carolina admitted to academic fraud throughout the athletic department, and the rest of a university that routinely ranks among the best public schools according to the U.S. News college rankings.

UNC’s “out” was that these fraud classes were available to any undergrad, and not just members of the athletic department. As a result, the NCAA did not levy a single penalty."

"In September of 2019, the NCAA alleged that Jayhawks men’s basketball head coach Bill Self and assistant Kurtis Townsend, along with Adidas employees, violated and “blatantly disregarded NCAA” bylaws."

...

"This is how concerned Kansas is about this case: It handed Self a lifetime contract in April of last year."

Fuck the seeding, UNC is a bunch of 4 and 5 star recruits that finally gelled and are playing well.

I know they're a "blue blood" but none of Kansas' rotation players were 5-stars and only two (McCormack and JCL) were top 50. It's very much a championship roster a good high major can have with the right coach and talent development.

If you had told me in 2015 that JCL would be a national title in 2022 I would've been incredibly confused.

My vote for Player of the Game for Kansas is UNC guard Caleb Love, who shot 5-24 from the field (1-8 from 3pt line) and had 4 turnovers. Shot selection is clearly not his forte and perhaps not even a consideration. He was fortunate that enough went in against Duke but he was way off in this game. Carolina shot an anemic 5-23 from the 3pt line, which was a big reason the Tarheels lost a game despite getting 24 offensive rebounds and hitting 18-22 FTs (+10 made).

Now it's time to focus on college football. Jayhawk fans, better set the alarm clock for November when hoops start up again.

Underdog only because they underachieved during the regular season based on relative talent.

Haha thanks guys I guess. I only did two brackets. Had Zona in the other one. I didn’t see a lot of KU this year but just liked the way the bracket lined up for them. Until the last two years I hadn’t won one since the Tyus Edney UCLA team when I was in middle school.

The boys can score some goals. The top 4 offenses made it to Wooster.
#1 Denver vs #4 Sven's team and the #2 Mavs vs the #3 gofs.
The Mavs goal tender holds the NCAA career record in shutouts at 34.
The gofs coach says the Mavs are "a big, strong team", commonly referred to as grown ass men, but that's also the type of team they played getting to the FF.
The Mavs coach is on a streak, just like Custard, with back to back COY. But the gofs coach would be the sentimental favorite after losing his son in a car accident last summer.

Here you go Mn:

Quote
BOSTON — The size of a dog doesn’t matter in a hockey fight.

So don’t tell the scrappy, little University of Denver, forced to balance its athletic budget with roughly 25% of the financial resources as the high and mighty University of Michigan, that an ankle-biter from a liberal arts school can’t take down a big dog from a Power Five conference in the pursuit of a national championship.

Asked for a prediction of a final score in a high-stakes hockey contest between the Pioneers and the Wolverines, DU coach David Carle chuckled, but did not hesitate to offer his opinion.

“We’re going to go for 9-8,” cracked Carle, anticipating a free-wheeling, high-scoring shootout Thursday against Michigan, with the winner advancing to play for the national championship.

As the financial divide between the haves and have-nots in big-time college sports grows into a yawning chasm that can make open competition seem more like a caste system, the Frozen Four is one of few remaining places in the NCAA landscape where we have a chance to tell a Pioneers bite Wolverines story.

Michigan coach Mel Pearson said scouting the Pioneers is “like looking in the mirror … They can score, they can get up and down the rink.”

That’s right about where the similarities stop. The Wolverines are a beast from the Big Ten with a student body of more than 50,000 strong and ridiculous annual athletic expenditures of $180 million. The Pioneers have an enrollment of 12,000 with a sports budget believed to be in the neighborhood of $40 million, and are proudly everything Michigan is not.

“We are very different. Absolutely. That’s college hockey,” Carle said. “College hockey is a really great landscape of diverse schools. And I think that’s great for the student-athletes.”

Unlike other institutions of higher education in our fine state, DU doesn’t need to get its brains beat out in football to feel important in college sports. I don’t know if the Pioneers are smarter than Colorado or Colorado State because they climb into a hockey arena where they can beat anyone in the country. But I’m certain of this: DU hockey is everything that Gonzaga basketball hopes to be when it grows up.

The enduring, romantic appeal of the NCAA basketball tourney is the occasional Cinderella story that brings madness to the big dance. This year, the underdog we fell in love with was St. Peter’s, a commuter school in New Jersey with an academic endowment that falls short of the $86 million contract of Kentucky Wildcats coach John Calipari.

But here’s the dirty, little truth: In hoops, Cinderella almost always gets unceremoniously sent home from the dance before midnight, leaving the championship to be decided by teams with the rich, blueblood heritage of North Carolina or Kansas.

On the other hand, Carle said, “It doesn’t matter what kind of school you are, you can have success in college hockey.”

The real beauty of the Frozen Four? The size of your school doesn’t matter.  A passion for hockey counts far more than the financial wherewithal of a university. Building a championship hockey program isn’t cheap, but you don’t have to burn Benjamins in a bonfire, hoping and praying to stay within four touchdowns of Alabama, as is the case in college football.

That’s why the Minnesota State Mavericks, with a school-wide sports budget of approximately $14 million, has a fighting chance against Minnesota from the Big Ten in the nightcap of the semifinals at TD Garden.

“It’s awesome for the sport,” said Pearson, who went to the Frozen Four during his playing days with Michigan Tech, which he fondly describes as a “small school up in the boonies.”

Way back when, Denver and Michigan were neighbors in the same conference before the Pioneers and Wolverines went separate ways. So this will be the 84th time the puck has been dropped between them, but it’s also the first time these two college hockey powers have met since 2002.

That’s a long time. What gives?

It has been suggested to me that the big dog from the Big Ten might not want anything to do with an ankle-biter, as the Power Five school has politely told the Pioneers no thanks when asked for dates during the regular season.

“We’re two great programs. I think what it boils down to is the schedules that we have, both (are) playing real tough schedules all the time,” Pearson said.

“I’d love to play them. Without saying anything negative against anybody else, I really love the style (the Pioneers) play the game … They like to play with skill, they like to get up and down the ice. We’re in the entertainment business.”

There was a kernel of numerical significance in Carle’s prediction of a 9-8 score against Michigan in the semifinals. The two hockey programs with the most national championships in NCAA history?

That score is: Michigan 9, DU 8.

Time for the Pioneers to get even?

In college hockey, all that matters is the size of the fight in the dog.
