2023-2024 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

Wish Bama would have just won at the buzzer in regulation

Annnnnd they're gonna turn themselves into a quad 2 thanks to OT.

More genius outcomes in the Quad world. I have to say my favorite image of Quad math is picturing Wake up 15 against Clemson in the last game of the year, and in the last 20 seconds just inbounding it to Carr to dunk on our own basket like 6 times in a row really quick to keep them a quad 1.

For some reason I feel like this quad system is making me dumber

 

[CreamyGoodness]

What's this 5 pt loss mean?

JUST WATCH THE GAMES IDIOT NCAAT COMMITTEE!

Giving too much credit to a committee that decided that Ron Wellman should be in charge

 

[rolldeacz]

What's this 5 pt loss mean?

Prob not much, shouldn’t hurt. I think Florida was +9.5 or something

 

[deacon14]

Florida moved up from 29 to 27 in Kenpom

 

[IckerDeac]

I wonder how DonaldRoss is dealing with another year of Wes Miller not in the tournament.

 

[PhDeac]

There's an outside chance LSU could drop below 100 and turn into a Q3 loss. A win over UK would help avoid that.

LSU beats Kentucky on a buzzer beater.

 

[Neurodeac]

Forget the quad system. Wake is .500 (9-9) vs the top 100 and 3 of those losses were before Reid was able to play and were close losses. Wake should be in barring a complete collapse.

 

[Atlanta Deacon]

So, we're 26 in NET and 21 in Kenpm and we're on the bubble? That makes zero sense.

 

[Deacfreak07]

So, we're 26 in NET and 21 in Kenpm and we're on the bubble? That makes zero sense.

Fact of the matter is, great teams beat great teams. We need to beat a team as great as say, Wake Forest for example. But only by the appropriate margin in the appropriate venue.

Great teams like Dayton? They are 19 in NET and 29 in Kenpom and a consensus top 5 seed. Best win is LSU on a neutral court. They played one top 25 team and lost.

I guess it's just because Joe Lunardi says so....

 

[Liquid Karma]

I'm gonna enjoy when Lunardi switches Wake from the bubble to an 8 seed about 15 minutes before the bracket us announced. He's an absolute fraud.

Their resume is pretty wack for a 5 seed. They took advantage of Charleston. If Wake doesn’t blow a double digit lead vs Utah, the resume is much different.

"My sources on the committee tell me that this year they really valued blowing the fucking doors off bubble teams".

Even the dumbest among us could do this donk's job.
