skip-zip Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 Portland State especially had the potential to look like a really bad loss on our record, but they ended up getting bettter and having a pretty good season.Winthrop has really slipped though. The last I looked, they were way over 100 on the RPI.I still hope we can get an NIT bid if we don't win the tournament this weekend. But, based on the fact that we're probably not as good as we were last year adn didn't make it, I am not real optimistic right now. Quote
zipdiehard Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 This is a take it for "what it is worth" post. For all the talk about how weak of a schedule we had, it really wasn't too bad. Having said that, we definetly need to step it up in terms of scheduling. One or two games against high profile schools wouldn't hurt. Anyway...UA - ended up with 4 NCAA teams and 2 NIT teams on its out of conference schedule. 2-4 record.OU - 5 NCAA and 1 NIT. 3-3 record.MU - 6 NCAA and 3 NIT. 3-6 record.Can't - 5 NCAA and 2 NIT. 5-2 record.Obviously, we needed a better record against those teams, which shows in Can't more than likely getting an at large bid no matter what.

GoZips Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Don't look now, but I am going out on a skinny limb. I predict that Portland State will become the first ever sixteen seed to knock off a one seed.Kansas which played great earlier in the season is looking pretty ordinary now excepting beating a down trodden Texas team recently.Portland State has improved steadily all season. They are hungry. They are over achievers. They are off the radar.Portland State squeaks out the first ever sixteen over a one seed win in NCAA tourney history. Quote
