Punishing teams that got it done all year in favor of one that got hot for 3 days. It has always annoyed me that in theory a team could lose all it's regular season games as long as that team won all games in the tournament they are in the NCAA. In one bid leagues tournaments reward the deeper teams and that team that gets hot or just has a lucky draw of opponets. How about instead the NCAA field is expanded to 96 teams with 32 teams having a first round bye and get rid of the NIT? The regular season winner gets an automatic bid and if the regular season winner also wins the tournament they get a first round bye as an additional reward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJGood Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Don't like the way this is going... Are they going to send us down the road two hours? If so, that would just be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 When is the last time a MAC team has beaten OSU? Also, we have a chance to singlehandedly prevent OSU from getting 21 wins this season. That would take our famous little stat down to 4 teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy5 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Let's do it. Not that I'd take an NIT run over even just a first round loss, but this is an opportunity for a nice consolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo Zip Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Those of you whining about the lack of respect...It is time to earn it. If you think that OSU is too scared to play us and won't schedule us, we here is your chance. Put up or shut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
