The bigger question is does the NCAA even know what the tournament is supposed to be? By implying it's for the championship means it should be selecting the best teams. I've heard the statement and I agree with it is really the only team that deserves to complain about not making the tournament is the winner of the NIT.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346632367434990107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30714045.post-61953407677574130082009-03-18T10:21:00.000-04:002009-03-18T10:21:00.000-04:00If you're viewing the NCAA tournament as "you don'...If you're viewing the NCAA tournament as "you don't deserve to get in unless you stand a chance of going very far", then of course the 2 games lost ends the discussion.<BR/><BR/>Most people view it as a reward, however, which then makes those 2 games irrelevant - this isn't football; shit happens in individual games. And, no, replacing Towson with Villanova wouldn't have done enough to fix our awful, awful schedule.<BR/><BR/>Claiming credit for playing in the (insert supposedly mighty conference) while CHOOSING awful OOC games is the kind of crap we used to make fun of them for (in football) back when we were an independent.<BR/><BR/>We didn't deserve any reward, in other words. We chose shit; we got shit.M1EKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650370583235985527noreply@blogger.com
