Ticket punched - Miami

 

[ttocswob]

Miami wins 54-48

Virginia is struggling down the stretch...they have lost 4 in a row and 5 of 6

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Does Virginia just not have an offense at all? I watched the final 4 mins plus OT and they looked like they didn't know what to do with the ball. They looked exhausted. Turrible

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Damn.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Miami is in...let's go Cyclones

 

[vols 30]

Damn.

Miami was in before this game

You don't seem to be grasping this bubble concept 30

 

[bleedingTNorange]

From what I gather the only mid-major leagues that could possibly steal bids...

A10: Dayton, VCU
MVC: Wichita State, Illinois State
C-USA: Middle Tennessse
Colonial: UNC-Wilmington
Sun Belt: Texas Arlington
MWC: Nevada

 

[VolnJC]

Honestly after this year I hope they
1) drop the play in games and go back to 64
2) get rid of the tourney champion auto berth

I just want to see the best 64 teams play for the championship

I wouldn't entirely count out a UVM team that lost in the America East finals to Albany (the bane of Vermont's existence) provided they don't drop one of their next two. How would their RPI look if that happened, bleedingTNorange?

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

When we had our last play in game, was that in 2011 against Iowa? Someone feed me, I'm almost at 1000

Or maybe it's you, who doesn't.

2014. We were slaughtered by Michigan in the 2011 tournament.

That's right. Zo's last year, and we made it to the sweet 16 and got put out by whom?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Or maybe it's you, who doesn't.

I'm all ears, please educate me...

Miami was in before this game

Just for reference, before tonight, Miami was 2-7 against RPI top 50 and 6-8 against top 100. UT is 2-8 and 8-11. Miami was not a lock, especially with the rest of their schedule.

Would be mid 40's, with 0 top 100 wins it would be hard to see them getting in

Exactly, for some reason 30 is purposely being hard headed on this topic

Why bother? You're right all the time anyway.

Miami showed some heart tonight on the road. That was a tough fought game and they found a way.

Not hardly, if you can bring something to this topic I'm all ears...

No way. Wouldn't have had MTSU over Michigan state a year ago. Games like that make the tourney how special it is.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Here's to my 1,000th thought on VN.

BTO is the man. Thanks for the continued bubble info. And I say It's great to be a Tennessee Vol!

They had 8 conference wins before tonight. All they needed was 1 more win to finish no worse than 9-9 in the ACC with a win earlier over North Carolina

I think Lunardi had them as a 8 or 9 seed before tonight's game
