If we make it to the big dance...

Post by elcheque2 » March 11th, 2019, 1:59 pm

We will stand alone as the Mountain West team with the most NCAA tourney bids, considering UNLV doesn't get an auto-bid. Here's the current breakdown.

UNLV 20
USU 20
WYO 15
UNM 15
SDSU 12
CSU 10
NEV 8
BSU 7
FSU 6
AF 4
SJSU 3

Also we are 1 of 4 teams in the MW who have been to an elite 8 (UNLV, USU, WYO,CSU)

Just some fun facts while we wait a few more days for the tourney to start..

Go Aggies!

We really do have a pretty rich tradition of basketball success. Some of our MWC cohorts may not realize this as they demean our program.

I guess I don't really pay attention to our "MWC cohorts." Are they demeaning our program?

What is really sad is how much more difficult it is to get into the tournament today because of east coast/p5 bias! The only way to change that is to go to the tournament and win a few games! Go Aggies!

If you've ever ventured over to the MWCboard it's a consistent theme. That and how SJSU needs to leave.

Yeah. I've never ventured to the MWC Board. I really couldn't give two sh!ts about our MWC cohorts or their opinions.

What a BYU move. Say "Shut the F up" instead of actually saying the F word. Makes it less sinful. :lol:

It doesn't matter what is implied as long as the actual act isn't committed. Just like floating.

True, but maybe if we bring posters with the picture. I think it would be hilarious. I showed the video to my 8, 10, and 12 year old brothers a few months ago and they loved it. This past weekend I watched byu get blown out vs. San Diego. My brothers walked in and pointed at Haws and yelled “Hey, it’s the shut the eff up guy!”

By the way, this has got to be one of the best YouTube videos ever:

It's hard to believe it's already been 8 years since Haws yelled this! I makes sense now why he looks so old this season.

He even hit puberty over these 8 years and went from looking like Gollum to a slightly emaciated pre-Super-Soldier serum Steve Rogers.

1970. There were only 25 teams invited. We got beat by UCLA (who didn’t?) and Lew Alcindor in the finals of the West bracket. Marv Roberts, Nate Williams, and Jeff Tebbs were the team leaders.

Aaaaah. Now I remember. Listened to that game on the radio. Was Lauriski also on that team? You sure the Bruins had Alcindor? I thought it was Sydney Wicks and Curtis Rowe who were their stars that year?

Alcindor was not on that team. Wicks, Rowe and Bibby were the stars. Marvelous Marvin Roberts went off for 33 points and Jeff Tebbs had zero. They shut down our back court big-time, though Ed Epps had 12. Wicks and Rowe each had 26.

Dropped to a 10 seed in the latest ESPN bracket. To be honest, I wouldn't hate it if this was how it ended up. I think we compete in the first 2 rounds pretty well against this group.

I'd honestly rather be a 10 seed than a 9 seed. Better chance of going to the Sweet 16.

I would like that as well. Mich. St. had a player go out with an injury. I'm not sure how well he will play or if he will play.
