Stadiums Bracket Projection

[Andrew]

They have Rice winning our conference and playing in the 16th seed play in game against Grambling State. Is this what our conference has become? 

[UNTLifer]

No.

Rice is currently leading the conference at 2-0. They are the only team to sweep this past week. That’s all.

LOL @ reading into bracket projections after one weekend of conference play.

It's fun, I get it, but don't try to dig too deeply.

It’s not who they have selected but more the fact they have them in a play in game for the 16th seed to play the top seed in the tournament.

The CUSA champ won't be this lowly rated.  NT and WKU have both shown they can play with the better teams in the nation.

My favorite part of this whole ridiculous bracket is the fact that there is no Kentucky.

[southsideguy]

Why would they be? They’re 3-6.

Kentucky is garbage and lost to every competitive team they faced. At this rate, they'll be lucky to make the NIT.

Exactly.  I have never been a fan of that program and watching them and Calipari struggle brightens my day.

Agreed. I misinterpreted your post as you saying that Kentucky’s exclusion was part of what made this ridiculous.

[greenminer]

Cal: as far as x-and-os, I dig him.  He looks like he would be an inspiration to play for.

Then there's everything else.  A trail of cheating follows that guy wherever he has been.  Super shady off the court.

Rice is currently getting exposed by UTEP. Barely their third conference game in. They were propped up by a weak OOC schedule. Overrated

They kicked UTSA’s ass and we barely squeaked by UTSA. Are we in much of a position to be calling them overrated?

In the second game of a double header which are always unpredictable. If they are being put in the tournament and already dropped a conference game, then yes, overrated. Looking at their remaining schedule, they'll be lucky to finish with a .500 record. Just putting it on the record now that they are overrated for when their wheels eventually fall off in conference play.

That was also in Houston. Winning on the road is tough, mainly in this conference and when you're going against Hackson. Comparing other games to ours is silly and proves nothing at all

It is hard to win on the road, and Rice’s loss was on the road. So if we all agree it’s hard to win on the road, why are we saying a road loss “exposed” a team as overrated? My point is I don’t think a single road loss proves anything at all. Every team in CUSA who has gone on the road for a full weekend has lost on the road.

Also, Rice wasn’t “rated” highly enough to be considered overrated anyways. They were 2-0 in conference at the time of this bracket so they were shown as the auto bid by that technicality of being alone at the top of the conference, and they were given the lowest seed possible.
