How Many More Wins to Make MM

[hoopsaustin]

I actually saw a writer tweet out a list of teams on the bubble a couple days ago and point out how weak it is, and (correctly) argue that it’s a perfect example of why they shouldn’t expand the tourney.

I will become disinterested, just like I currently am with football, if they expand (which they will bc $$$$$)

fellas, i can pump some sunshine. 2-2 is a pretty tough ask. if we go 3-1, might as well pencil us in the final four.

I loved it when they increased it to 64...and wish it forever stayed right there no matter how many D-1 schools were added.

I want them to take out the play in games too and go to only the 16 v 16, if anything, for those extra games. I hate the current play in games

Also in favor of 64 only. I don’t think any automatic qualifier should be involved in play-in games. If you win your league, you should get a game in the field of 64. If you’re going to have play-ins, let the bubble teams play.

Why did you stop at top 20? Weird to omit Michigan and Louisville by not saying top25 for the sake of a "gotcha" point.

3-7 didn't look as good as 1-7, sure. But don't do that, it's misleading/mildly duplicitous

Please don't move the goalposts to help fit your narrative. Use the standard, for cbb, top25.

Because I quit counting at 20? That's honestly about what loaded onto my screen before I had to scroll lol. This wasn't a serious data analysis exercise, just a quick eye test.

We're 3-7 against the top 25 and 15-3 against everyone else. I stand by the original point of my post which was to say that our season hangs in the balance of the LSU and UT losses at home...if we had pulled those two out, we'd be 6-8 and 19-8 with a chance to play for seeding in the next 5 games. As is, we've got to go 3-2 to have a realistic shot of getting in.
