I can certainly understand OU's problems with the tourney run last year. I just have trouble seeing why "majors" would be afraid to play a team that has NEVER beaten a ranked opponent, and has never won an NCAA tournament game. Unlike this year, Its not like we have had "bracketbuster" written all over us before.

hmm good point. I see the pros and cons to that.

There is no way the Friday game will be during the day time. It will be evening.

To clarify, I never said anything about top programs. Just BETTER. Surely we can find a few more schools ranked between 100-200 that want to do a 1 and 1. Not my argument, but from your reply, I've found a few top mid-majors that got good teams to come to their place this year. St. Louis got New Mexico to come to their place. VCU got Wichita St to come to their place. Belmont also came, as well as Bama. UMASS got Miami to come to their place. Memphis got Louisville to come. MTSU got Ole Miss to come. Like I said, not my argument, but looking at this, its not as hard to good teams to come to your place as it would be in football.

I think the schedule IS good enough to get us an at-large. Didnt DiG just post something saying we have ~50% chance to earn an at-large? If we lose one less game, there is no question we get an at-large. I still would like to see us get rid of the Arkansas Pine-Bluffs, Coppin State's, and Texas Southern's of the world. Being a mid-major, we cant afford to schedule those guys like major conferences because we dont have the benefit of playing good team's in our conference.

Lavert played 12 minutes last night for scUM. He did not start. From looking at his game logs, its looks like he only started one game this year, against CMU.

Utah St is the only team in recent history that was ranked and was left out. I thought UNLV was once as well ranked #25, but cannot find anything on it.

It still doesnt count as an impressive win, but sure helped our RPI

Forysthe didnt look good last night in his limited time. You cant blame an OU fan for the small sample-size he has seen; because it is spot on based on last night's game. We all know PF has a lot of potential.

I would agree the reffing was probably bad all around tonight. What do you expect out of MAC refs? However, as for the on-the-line call, it was close. But what difference does it make? After he "saved" it, it went out of bound off of his teammate anyways.

I was critical in the first half, but we may have played our best second half this season!! Props to Tree and Abreu for turning it around; proud of them. S/O to the classy OU fans (students I assume) for throwing items onto the court 3 different times during the game. Classy. #OnToTheNext. @Buffalo scares me more than Can't State at home.

Woo let's keep it up!

I hope he does, but there is no denying the lack of hustle on D and the boards in the first half. Also, OU is shooting good because they have good ball movement and are shooting wide open shots.

There is no excuse for crying and not hustling back when a call doesn't go your way. Cannot believe you guys are defending him.

Make everybody but Zeke walk home. So pissed off at Tree and AA. Play smart and act like you give a shit!

What bad experiences have you had?

LOL. You try way too hard man.

Saw they fenced off the area today My guess is demolition will begin soon!

Agreed. Surprised that a low-income residence building was located downtown.

Was posted on the last page. But, I agree. Maybe the best Bleacher Report article I have ever read (although the bar was never high).

If Lundardi is mentioning us a possible bid-stealer, I really like the chances. Just a week or so ago he was saying "no way" to that.

Im sure people are working on it.

"Thanks to Lebron" Give me a friggen break.

in 2004, #25 Utah State was left out. I believe #25 UNLV was left out sometime in the 90s.

This isnt a game I would bet on anyways!
