NCAA Tournament Opponent Wish List


Recommended Posts

Ideally, I would have posted this last night. However, I make a similar post every year regarding the NCAA Tournament and who I'd like to see the Zips play. Teams of interest to me are big name schools, historically rare opponents for the Zips, schools that we trail in the all-time series against, or some combination there of.

Considering prospective NCAAT Tournament teams based on the Top-25 rankings, RPI, and conference champions, my wish list includes (in no particular order):

UCLA

Indiana

Cornell

Syracuse

Louisville

SIU-Edwardsville

UVA

UNC

Saint Louis

Charlotte

What are yours?

:champs::NCAAC:

I'm also rooting for Coastal Carolina and Akron Alum, Shaun Docking, to do well.

I want to play whoever the crappiest teams are. I could care less about payback or series records or what conference they are from. I want a national championship.

Right On!

At this point of the season, this shtuff is not even entertainment! This is business now! I have difficulty enjoying these matches from the stands.

National Championship is my only consideration. Whichever matchup gets me there is what I want.

I could not care one wit about which coach or which player did what way back when. Frankly, I am surprised that some of you care about such things.

I want the weakest schedule possible on the way to capturing the College Cup.

There are no * in the record books.

St Louis

UNC

Louisville

Tulsa

Creighton

New Mexico

VCU

Wake Forest

Indiana

I think UNC got screwed the most.

Three Big East teams in the top four is ridiculous considering schedules, records, and the strength of the ACC. Yes, UNC got screwed worse than anyone; however, this is pretty poor for us too.

#2 RPI, a single loss to the #1 RPI/seed team, one tie due to a poor offsides call, and one legitimate tie. It's unrealistic to expect anything better from Coach Porter or the team.

I expected the results from the football and basketball games this past week, but I was totally unprepared for this. I thought after having won the National Championship, this program would finally get the respect it deserves, and things like the 2005 #12 seed and the circa 2006 Northwestern game getting moved to Chicago would be issues of the past. Pile this one onto the stack.
