ZachTheZip Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 We should at least be ahead of Florida State on that list. There should ba a rule saying that you need a winning conference record to get a bid into the tournay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdZip Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 And they have Miami (OH) as a mighty 15 seed. What great MAC representation!I still can't believe Miami are KD--> <--Timekeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our best win is over Oral Roberts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should ba a rule saying that you need a winning conference record to get a bid into the tournayI agree! Yes the ACC is a tough conference but Akron's RPI would probably be higher if they played in the ACC and LOST EVERY ACC GAME than it is now. RPI rewards you for loosing to good teams too. So often the major conference teams have higher RPIs since several good teams will bring up every team's RPI.I thought at one time it was required to have at least a .500 record in your conference to get an at large bid (winning the tourney would still get you one no matter what your conference record). If not it should be required unless the NCAA expands the tournament to 96 teams or so. I think it would make the major conference tournament that much more exciting since the only way in for teams with loosing conference records would be to win it all. Other than money the major conference tournaments are a waste of time. Pretty much the top 3-4 seeds are guaranteed a trip to the NCAA tournament no matter who they do. Sometimes a bubble team from a major conference can win a couple of games and get in too, but its very rare for one of the lower level teams in a conference to win it all.

timmyboy Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I am just amazed to see how many teams did make the ncaa tourney that akron beat.niagra,miami,oral roberts. maybe we should leave the MAC and join one of these smaller no name conferences so that we can win the tourney an get into the big dance.

Or maybe we should join a major conference so we can get in with only 17 or 18 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
