then tell me why W2.........there are teams in these conferences that haven't finished in the top 1/2 of their conference in 20 years. so if you disagree, then find me a team in those conferences that belongs.....

so you're saying we need the SWAC in D1........explain to me how they should be D1 and not 1-AA.....same with the MEAC and on down the line

Nice second half start by Winthrop

and if we are including them in hoops where they routinely get pounded game in and game out by anyone decent, why not include them in football too....i mean i could see JacksonState in the Fiesta Bowl....:beerbang:

College Basketball is what it is , because you give every team a chance to prove themselves . Small Conferences vs. Big Conferences everybody is on the same level ..

once again until notre dame gets some real athletes on their teams (football and basketball) they will continue to be a well known school that just does not win the big games

ND was so overrated the whole season. I cant believe some people had the nerve to say they were too low as a 6th seed. They clearly arent that good. Like I said before, they won 4 games against tournament teams this year. Only played 7, clearly they werent challenged in the big east because of all the garbage teams in the bottom of that conference. Hope Winthrop wins by 30.

[COACH DITKA]

Wow, ND is really struggling right now but Wisconsin having major problems. I felt it was debatable whether they'd cover but thought they'd no doubt get the W. We shall see.

No they aren't!!!!!!!! that is my point.......do this for me W2- find me a team from any of these conferences in the past 20 years that has made the sweet 16.................MEAC, SWAC, BigSky, BigWest, MAAC, NEAC, American East, SoConn, OVC.....the total is like 3 or 4 tops...and NONE have a chance of winning the tourney. They should have their own 1-AA tourney and crown a champion of schools that are similar. You can take the cream of the crop from those conferences and keep them in 1-A, and send the rest packing. They can still play 1-A teams in the reguar season, but not in the tourney. I mean, by your argument, every kid should get to play 5 minutes a half for each team, as well. Heck, i'll bring the orange slices and gatorade. This tournament should be about crowning the best team in 1-A, not a field trip for some ****ball school like Jackson State to get their ass handed to them by FLA by 30 points.

College Basketball is SO DIFFERENT than Football, FF.

I will give you an example....

Take a crap team and add a superstar... and instantly they are a threat.

I will give you the two instances that come to mind. Each school sucked before the guy showed up and has sucked since....

Indiana State with Larry Bird and
Navy with David Robinson

Cleveland State and Richmond had their runs too.

There are 65 teams in this thing ONLY because of all the crappy conferences. Not too long ago it was a 32 team and 48 team event. It rewards really good teams (top 12) who essentially start playing at round 2.....

Except for the Bad-gers who look like hell right now.

:beerbang:

[wsox08]

might as well root against Wisconsin because I have GT beating them in the next round.. which obviously can't happen..

[JohnnyMapleLeaf]

Or TexasA&MCC getting their ass handed to them by......oh wait. I think that's what makes this tourney great....the "you never know" factor. Even a high seed keeping it close for a while is fun.

I like this alot better than the NBA where you know what 4 or 5 teams will be there in the end before the playoffs even start.

[wsox08]

I don't see ND coming back from down 20... whew right as I type this they are switchin... finally.
