We even avoid playing on my personal bad luck day (Wednesday). Recipients of the very last bid.
Weird angle nobody has mentioned yet – we probably have our old 1983 friends Houston for this invite (beat SMU in the American quarters, with an RPI in 150s).
I mentioned it in the Bubble Talk thread. My youngest starts at UH in the Fall.
Fly to Dayton, OH tomorrow for a late Tuesday night game.
Win & fly to Orlando, FL (for an unknown time at this moment) Thursday game.Good point. Didn’t the NCAA address this a year or so ago and say we would play in the evening?
Yea Jiga, last one in doesn’t get any breaks, a team that played 3 straights games in order to get in.
I think K’s endorsement helped as well as the Cuse and *unx games as foose pointed out. And the surge in the last 5 games.
I really dont care about the breaks. We are in. Give it to Buckets. We can win 2 and see what happens with Louisville.
Is anyone listening to ESPN talk about their BPI. If something doesn’t make sense versus their made-up ranking…maybe the problem is with the BPI.
I stopped caring about BPI the first time they mentioned “pace of play” as a factor in calculations.
Just for the record where did Jeff Goodman go to school?
Goodman went to the University of Taiwanese Lady-Boy Lovers.
I mean Arizona. University of Arizona.
We were the only miss by the Dance Card. They had Cal in instead of us.
Glad you brought that up. The Dance Card also missed on State during the Herb-era (2003?)
If Arizona State can make this field, you’ve got to figure that we were in it all the way!
I imagine there are a lot of Wake Forest fans who would wholeheartedly, even financially, support a Ron Wellman campaign for ACC Comish.
Thank GOD (and maybe Coach K) that there will be no NIT for this team this season!
I think we should also thank Central for having a really good season. That ended up being a quality loss, not a back breaker.
I definitely felt Lunardi was significantly off in how far below the cut line we were. But didn’t see any way we weren’t below it. VERY GLAD to be wrong on prong two.
I wonder if ESPN leaned on Lunardi a little bit to advance their made-up BPI metric (which really didn’t like us, for some reason).
When I talk about Houston, I meant how weirdly serendipitous it was for it to be Phi Slamma Jamma that came through for us.
I like our draw. These aren’t particularly long flights, or vastly disparate time zones. Not too worried about fatigue.
I think it should be a requirement that everyone drink Budweiser till we are eliminated or win the whole dam thing. I commented on the “So You’re saying we have a chance” thread that we would be a play in 12 seed around noon today. That was my 1st Budweiser. I have now moved on to liquor. Go Pack!

Yeah, I was happy they didn’t get a 16 seed play-in…then they wound up all the way up to 14. We helped them, and they helped us. I’m sure that made Coach Moton’s buddy Julius happy!
UVA got a 1 seed, but a tricky 16 matchup with Cliff Ellis’ Chanticleers. I will pick that as an upset in one of my brackets.

Beer then liquor, never been sicker.
After watching Central’s season they turned out to be a decent team. And with some luck they can bury the dump on the hump. Glad the teams gets to fight another day. Being a bubble team you can’t expect a lot of love but it seems the bracket is not as unkind as it could have been.
A strong 4? Perhaps. But a weak 5? Definitely. I’d be happy as a pig in shit just to make it to Saturday, we are totally playing with house money.
