ace Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Tulsa: RPI 61 Michigan: RPI 58 Wichita St.: RPI 51 Vanderbilt: RPI 60 Temple: RPI 63 We were probably higher than 80% of that "bubble board". Quote
RowdyZip Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 The MAC was determined to be a 1 bid league before the season tipped. If we lose two less, maybe we're on the bubble board with Ohio State. What a joke. Top rpi team to be left out. Quote

Akron has a win over Iona. I don't know why any of you got your hopes up. MAC competition simply isn't good enough for us to obtain an at-large unless we have a crazy great conference record. We also need to schedule and beat quality teams when we play them. 1 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 This might be the worst bracket I've ever seen, combined with the worst Selection Show ever. Syracuse is an absolute joke. The NCAA wants money. That's it. Quote

skip-zip Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Syracuse - 68 Michigan - 58 Akron - 36 F these guys who select teams with no regard for performance. Quote

RowdyZip Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 RPI was given as the reason for why Michigan State wasn't a 1. It matters, but only when the selection committee decides it does. For the big boys. 3 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 The release of the leaked bracket makes the committee even less credible. Quote
Balsy Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 The NCAA is an absolute joke. Why do we even bother. Quote

With a bit of tinkering this could be an excellent tee shirt for our NIT run.

akronzips71 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 As long as we live in the MAC this is simply the way it is always going to be. And look at the play ins: Holy Cross has a losing record. Are you kidding me???? The idiot "President" cancelled baseball, time to cancel the MAC and go elsewhere. Quote
zippy5 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Holy Cross won their conference and is a 16 seed Quote

I will Give Holy Cross a pass only because the won their Conference. However another Conference needs to be explored.... Quote
dre22era Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 We can change this. If nobody collectively speaks up nothing will change. Its time to take a stand. Quote

zipinnc Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Here we go with RPI, but no mention of us. Quote
