I hope the preceding game phones long and pushes our start back. May hit Calhoun's or DTGB or somewhere after work
I'm not so sure about that. They finished the season playing four consecutive ranked teams and beat two of them, including Louisville. They looked terrible from the couple of minutes I saw of the game last night, but if they show up then it is a very tough matchup. I'd rather get a flailing bubble team than a group that punched its ticket months ago, no matter how vulnerable they appear. Then there is the matter of Cuonzo's record against them. For pure entertainment, I'd rather see them matched with Kentucky. The reaction from the losing side of that game would be priceless.
Potential Bid-stealers remaining - NC State St Bonnie's Tulsa Georgia Sam Houston State Tulsa and SHSU are ify but I included them (Not sure La Tech and SFA would get an at-large if they did lose) anyway. While I think we're completely safe now, it's worth following these five, just in case.
@marchmadness 48m JUST IN: #Selections Committee is down to 8 teams! They’re evaluating who’s the last 4 in and who’s the last 4 out. #soclose
Watching clips of the ref T'ing up Maymon, I had forgotten the game was tied at that point. I feel like we get the benefit of the doubt just on how well we've played the last 6 games. We went toe to toe with their #1 overall seed and were a technical away from having a 50/50 shot at the upset.
