Except if a senior laden mid major wins and goes 5-27 the next season do you really want that team in the tournament?

LOL. Didn’t say it was perfect… 5-27 …but in fairness we already have some sub .500 teams make the Tourney.

Got me thinking.

Teams with the worst records to make the men's NCAA tournament

Here are the teams with the worst records to make the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament since the March Madness field expanded in 1985.

Maybe give an incentive like the winner gets auto bid to the big dance the following year. That seems more like a WWE stunt than CBB, but it might pump up a dying tournament.

It is like what Major League Baseball does. Whichever team wins the exhibition game, AKA the All Star Game; its team in the World Series get home field advantage

And damn but they do look good tonight. Like a Final Four, or even Championship, team.

Can't ignore the obvious, they are playing an 8 seed in the sweet 16. This could have been the end of the line if they had to face Kansas (with Bill Self coaching) here.

That went away like 5 years ago now. It’s just best overall record to determine it.

It is a devil's dilemma but from a financial prospective the farther they go the more money for the league and if all three BE teams keep going on maybe we become a 6 team league in NCAA choice for 2024

Looks like the Big East is having a mighty fine Tournament. Now WE need to get back in the mix soon.

Should continue tonight. Creighton a big favorite over Princeton. Xavier has a tough one with Texas though

As long as both don’t lose tonight will be another successful night for the BE. We have a chance to have a BE rep in 3/4 of the elite 8 games.

3/8

3/8

How many games is that

How many games is that

It is more like 37% rather than 75%

Yes you were talking about games and Ron about number of teams. Big 12 the only other conference with a chance at multiple teams in elite 8 if Texas wins. Very good time to be in the BE.

That rule doesn't apply anymore, thankfully, because I never liked it.
