Cbs half time show gives us hope!

[calban]

that would not be a good thing, AT ALL.

Why?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Why?

we dont want miss st getting hot and making a run, and solidifying(sp?) their spot in the tournament.

thats rooting for a bubble team?

are you rooting for northwester, texas, usf, colorado st, xavier, vcu, oregon, nc st........

im sure not.

^If Miss St. Beat Vandy, and we beat Miss St. in the next game, would that not majorly help our cause?

I'd rather face Miss St again though instead of a much better Candy team. We could knock Miss St out. Bama will have to beat Ky in the semis so the most they'll probably win is 2 games max. That's if they get by Fla in the quarters.

No bye teams have to win 4 to get a bid...first round bye teams win 3.

not really.

the committee isnt gonna look at a beat b and c beat a so c must beat b...

vanderbilt would still have the MUCH higher rpi and would be a much better W than miss st

do you want the easy way and worry it wasnt enough?

or play the harder teams and beat the best?

personally, id rather play a top 30 rpi team in vanderbilt than a top 70 rpi team in miss st. much better win beating vanderbilt, and bigger rpi boost, than beating miss st.

and as ive said, the more miss st wins, the more they solidify thier tournament chances. you basically are rooting for a bubble team by rooting for miss st to beat vandy. why would you root for a bubble team? when we are needing all bubble teams to lose?

We can't have any mid major league winners get upset in their tournament. That will use up a spot.

That makes sense. Also facing us would mean Miss State had two more wins on there record.

Bingo.

its a very simple thought process..

miss st is a bubble team...would you root for any other bubble team to win a single game???
