...they expand the NCAA Tournament to 96 teams.I was watching College GameDay today from Duke. The discussion turned to the expansion of the NCAA Tournament. They posted Joe Lunardi's last four in IF the Tournament went to 96 teams. The Zips made it as No. 96. We are joined by Missouri State (No. 93), North Carolina (No. 94), and Arizona (No. 95).Give you an idea of what Joe Lunardi thinks of the Zips.

The NCAA Tournament is for conference champions and teams that have the potential to win the National Championship. That is likely not any team beyond the six seed in each regional let alone teams #25-96 and certainly not the Zips. If we make the field of 64 by virtue of winning the MACC, great. Otherwise, we have only earned the CBI (at best)...Can't on our own floor on national television in a sold out arena with a MAC regular season championship and NIT bid on the line and we are not prepared or motivated to play...that is not the heart of a champion, and I don't want embarrassed again on the national stage.Go Zips! Bring your A game and win the MACC. Otherwise, quietly check yourself into the offseason knowing that the only dimension of success for this year was continuing the streak of 20+ win seasons. :rolleyes::champs: or bust!Sincerely,Jim Rome
