Twenty generally works. Ideally, conference tourneys could influence whether a team qualifies. Teams on that bubble are easily identified and will know what is required to qualify.do you calculate out the percentage for total wins or just go with 20 as close enough?
State now one of Lunardi's last four in...He also had us safely in the field last year within days of the field being announced. Since he does this constantly he's slow to adjust his priors.
Zero chance State isn't in his last 8 teams in come Sunday, unless he has them out
Yeah like how Gameday shoulda told the B1G to fuck off but damn if they didn’t keep going to those stupid games.If Lunardi really was biased toward ESPN's best interests, he'd certainly pump up the ACC over the B1G, who ESPN will soon not have a business relationship with
I was watching one of the ACC tournament games where they showed the teams warming up in the tunnel and the announcer literally compared it to an AAU tournamentThink it’s not a huge thing, but after Forbes brought it up last year, it stands out with Bilas doing these games that there is very little pumping up or promoting of the ACC. He and Shulman, both of whom I like fine enough, too busy doing their smug half-comedy duo act, cracking each other up with in-jokes rather than talking ball. They are sometimes indirectly presented with a general concept of the ACC being down and just kind of accept it, rather than question/challenge it.
I don’t think they need to go full cheerleader or anything, but just make it seem like you are watching and enjoying a high level basketball game/conference tourney.

LOL, OKACC is not down
Did he really say that? FFSCory Alexander. Who also said Cuse-GTown back in the day was a better rivalry than Duke-UNC.
We need this
ran into him (literally) at the hotel the other night. energetic and nice dude. his persona on tv is what he is. always smiling. i hated it - lol.After watching Laphonso Ellis in studio, I've wondered if he wouldn't be a better choice for color analyst than Corey Alexander. Cue the "anybody would." But my point is maybe Ellis is being underused, enthusiastic and clearly knows basketball.
Bilas doesn’t care about the ACC. He cares about Dook. And himself.We got that when Bilas was hyping up Stackhouse as a coach.
Oh you mean hyping up ACC teams. Yeah we don’t get that.
