Definitely going to be an interesting hour tomorrow night. Harvard has essentially Richmond's profile, but with no Top 25 wins and less losses to 101+ opponents. Plus, higher SOS and RPI.

If they slide into the tournament, then I hope they match them up against UNC in the first round so the Tarheels can be the ones to pummel Amaker.

They'd be playing Arizona or someone, not a 2 seed.

I'm assuming that you do realize that I'm referring to Harvard, not Princeton. If Harvard is lucky enough to slide into the tournament at all, then I don't see them getting a seed any higher than a 15 seed, and it would likely be a 16 seed.

Seeds 13-16 is for automatic qualifiers only.

Is that an actual hard rule, or is that just the way that it always plays out in practice? I've never heard of any rule to that effect.

The fact of the matter is that I think that Harvard has next to zero chance of getting into the tournament. However, if they did, then they would be an extremely low seed, and I don't think there is a hard rule seeding only automatic qualifiers 13-16.

I'm pretty sure the massive expose the New York Times did spelled it out in terms even you could understand.

Instead of hiding behind the grey lady's opinion, I did some research of my own.. the findings:

Harvard has 6 players committed in this years recruiting class. 4 of the 6 have offers from at least 1 other Ivy League school, and 1 of the remaining 2 has an offer from Stanford. The other player is not even rated by rivals and only has one other offer altogether so its not like hes trying to sneak some great player by bending academic rules.

Yea he's really recruiting a bunch of idiots.

You fail, per usual

The lowest at-large ever was a 13, IIRC.

They probably won't make it anyway. Oh well. Ivy League put on a hell of a show today, at least.

Air Force and Bradley are the only two teams to ever get an at large below 12. They were both 13's. It's extremely rare.

I think it's only used when a scheduling conflict or matchup problem occurs.

About this situation, I know. You clearly know dick.


You're welcome to post a poll asking who provides more to this board between you and I. I lose, I'll depart. You lose, stay, just post less.

That year (2006), there were a lot of really good mid-major squads that got 9s/10s/11s/12s, so Air Force and Bradley got 13s.

Could be the same this year with the last First Four at-large game.

How is he breaking the ivy code if he is offering the same players the other teams in the league are offering?

And in response to your other post, I have no desire to get into a pissing match of message board popularity with you, I simply will reiterate the point that you bring very little tangible matter to the board (outside of the Civil War discussion in the off topic forum which I enjoyed reading).

Read more, post much much less.

I'll assure you that I'm very unpopular here because I'm happy to tell stupid people that they're, well, stupid. See, acting as if the dumbass little post you made abort rivals rankings and who's offered what in the rising class makes you, well, stupid.

That wouldn't have anything to do with the Ivy presidents having called a special meeting to rip Harvard after his first two recruiting classes, would it? Keep making a fool of yourself. It's what you do best. You've made commenting on subjects you don't know the first damn thing about an art form.

It completely contradicts what hat said about Amaker crapping all over the standards of the Ivy's.

Unless Penn, Princeton, and Cornell are all crapping on the standards of the Ivy's as well, then Amaker is doing nothing wrong at Harvard. If they are all crapping on the standards of the Ivy's, then the standards of the Ivy's have changed, either way, Amaker is doing nothing wrong. Kinda like when Bear started recruiting black players and the rest of the league followed suit.
