And that’s a damn shame. App & JMU (puke) should both be in regardless.kornegaylw wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 9:47 amIt's great...But if we don't win the SB tournament we don't make the big dance
I was looking at the current Lunardi garbage and what is tough every year are the AQ teams who are generally dreadful but win terrible conferences. Then you see teams projected to be in who are sitting at .500 in the conference and have double digit losses. That's exactly why you see the 11 and 12 seeds win on the first day. Those fraudulent power schools with 10-12 losses get seeded way too high and the 25+ win mid major conference champions are legit good and move to the second round. At this point there is zero difference in the Sunbelt number one seed and the 4th as far as at large consideration.appstate24 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 10:58 amAnd that’s a damn shame.

Leave them out, to make room for some damn team like Syracuse or whoever with 12-13 losses. It’s ridiculous, and nobody can convince me otherwise.
Don’t give them a chance to screw you, keep winning!
GO APPS!!
Then just look at the top 25. But then you'll see all the programs that have budgets 10x what ours is, so that one is pointless to me.Bigdaddyg1 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 10:51 amThis is by no means a dig to anyone who posts these rankings but to me it's like a meaningless pat on the head. Good job little guy but you aren't as good as some 6th place 16-12 power school who is 8-8 in their conference and beat up on a crappy non conference schedule.
Syracuse hasn’t made the tournament in 15 years with double digit losses. Sitting at 10 now and not even bubble talk. Now the big 12 or SEC, there’s your sweet spotappstate24 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 10:58 amAnd that’s a damn shame.

We’re getting crushed for the bad losses to NIU Oregon State and Tx St. Also, the 2 NAIA games are missed opportunities to move up. Hope we’re done with those moving forward or just play 1.
Like it or not, Sun Belt teams are making up their crappy non-conference schedule.Bigdaddyg1 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 10:51 amThis is by no means a dig to anyone who posts these rankings but to me it's like a meaningless pat on the head.

I realized they were playing Duke inside that hellscape to visiting teams known as Cameron Indoor, but the Hoo’s were plain awful today. Ugly basketball for sure.Bigdaddyg1 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 7:57 pmUVA about to take another blowout loss. I'm biased but we can beat them by 10 at least. If they remain a high seeded tournament team something is wrong.
Watched the game between SMC and Gonzaga and I do believe we could play on the floor with both teams. Just hope we can win the SBC tourney because if we do I think we match up well with a lot of top teams.
No harm, no foul as far as my post is concerned. I completely agree with you concerning the March Madness selection/smoke-filled back-room idiocy. I strongly disagree, however, that it's a "meaningless pat on the head." I've been around for 64 App basketball seasons--my Dad took me to my first game in old Broome-Kirk Gym when I was a high school junior. No Mountaineer basketball team has ever, ever been mentioned next to Gonzaga in any way, shape or form until late last week. It's trivia in one sense but in another it's a big neon branding sign for App State athletic success for a sport other than football and wrestling. That's very new and different. It's going to be seen by high school and juco recruiting prospects and by D-I portal "dwellers" some of whom may for the first time be willing to give our program some serious consideration.Bigdaddyg1 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 10:51 amThis is by no means a dig to anyone who posts these rankings but to me it's like a meaningless pat on the head.

I'd asked before what was the best year in our history if you consider combined wins between the 3 sports. That year we made it to the baseball regional in Charlottesville and nearly won it did we win the football championship as well?
