College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

This is 100% a three-pointer, and I don’t see how someone could sincerely put Providence above the 6 line come Selection Sunday.

 

[BallerVolFan]

This game has had EVERYTHING

 

[Vol49er]

I love watching big east basketball, though they may have the worst officials in the country

That Nova game, while I’m glad of the outcome had pretty terrible officiating. But at least it was mostly equally bad for both teams.

 

[golfballs]

I’d love to be in Providence’s region. If they even make it past the first round. They have upset city written all over them

 

[zaqhhh]

11-1 in close games for Providence

WTF

 

[Vol49er]

11-1 in close games for Providence

WTF

Providence is now
16-1 in games decided by 10 points or less
10-1 in games decided by 5 points or less (which doesn’t even include the 3OT win we just watched)
4-0 in games decided by 3 points or less
3-0 in OT games
1-0 in multiple OT games

Yep. I’d say the absolute dream scenario for Tennessee, assuming a 3 seed, would be
1. Kansas
2. Baylor
3. UT
4. Providence

Kansas and Baylor won’t be in the same region but as a 3 seed, Baylor/Providence as the 2/4 would be amazing. Might mean playing Arizona in a potential E8 matchup but at that point I’m not complaining

Whoops, duh. But yeah, definitely

 

[golfballs]

That’s a very realistic scenario too.

I’d be happy to be in either Kansas’ or Baylor’s region.

 

[Vol49er]

I’d be happy to be in either Kansas’ or Baylor’s region.

Definitely. I’d prefer Kansas as the 1 honestly. Obv we’d have to advance further for that to matter but I feel good (relatively) against Purdue Baylor or Duke. There’s no one seed that sticks out as a matchup I wanna see other than Kansas

I’d boil it down to, I don’t want to play Gonzaga or have to beat Arizona twice in a season. Other than that I’m fine

Right, and in BM rn it’s those two, Kansas, and Auburn as the one seeds. So Kansas being the 1 in our region is the only way we avoid having to do those things until the final four, if at all. I’d prefer Arizona again though to Gonzaga, by a good margin

Right now Kentucky can’t be in auburns region so it would most likely put them w Kansas, which then keep us out of that region. Would probably take KY losing to give us a chance of that.

 

[Vol49er]

Also, I don’t want to be in a region with Memphis because I don’t want to face a double digit seed with that sort of talent, no matter who their coach is (and also because I don’t think I could handle it well emotionally if they knocked us out of the tourney)

I feel like the committee would do that to us. Fortunately we’re more likely to get Pitt/Buff and Memphis if they aren’t in a play-in would probably have a better chance of Milwaukee/Fort Worth

They love those types of storyline matchups.

I guess that’s true. Well that sets up a potentially huge SEC tourney semi-final. Though like you said, might not even matter even if we were to beat them if they don’t lose again before that

 

[VolPack22]

Of course Kentucky would come out and destroy LSU after getting clamped down in the 1st half. As much as I dislike Will Wade, we need Kentucky to lose for us to have a shot at the 1 or 2 seed. Luckily they go to Bud Walton next. That place is about to be rockin’ on Saturday.

I just don’t want to play UK again. I’d rather play Auburn

Yeah and we all know that the SECT is the unofficial “Kentucky Invitational”. I would like to avoid Kentucky/Arkansas until the Final.

 

[golfballs]

Wisconsin like the poor man’s Providence of the Big 10. Ekes another one out

We got an LSU Tracy McGrady flashback working?
