I guarantee Indiana State would be playing better against CSU than this. Virginia is an embarrassment.

Sometimes I feel like Stevens is too unselfish. But that's what makes them tick.

UVA was the 3rd place team in the ACC.
Colorado State was the 7th place team in the MWC.

I'm surprised how long it takes to get the ball in his hands. He doesn't even bring it up the court.

Not common for a guy that gifted to give up the ball that often and easily.

Are play-in games considered NCAA tournament wins? I mean, you're playing to "get in". Not discounting anyone's win, but is it the same as winning a true first round game? Me thinks not.


The amount of energy necessary to refute bull pucky is an order of magnitude greater than to produce it.

Virginia likes to beat people 59-57, but they can't score 59 when they shoot like tonight.

They absolutely are. The conference gets the same amount of credits for a first four win as it does a first round win.

It counts as winning in the tournament. You get paid the same as you do for a win in any other round. Four of the teams also won their conference tournament and got an autobid so they're not playing to get into the tournament. They're playing to get into the main bracket.

It does not count as advancing and if a team is 0-9 all time like boise and they win a play in, I'd still consider that as yet to win aka yet to advance.

They are NCAA tournament wins, but you are not wrong in who plays in the games and what games are for.

I wonder if the 16s prefer a play in for this reason. Gives them a chance to make some money.

I know, and yet they could still win by 40 the way this is going.

It's actually a good opportunity for them to win a game and get an extra credit against the team that they match up favorably with. So I'm guessing they do enjoy it especially when they win.

What are people saying on Twitter about this blowout? Is anyone tweeting that MWC was poorly seeded or tying this game to the committee's P5 bias?

Apparently the BPI discounts teams that play at elevation because ESPN doesn't feel like teams from elevation have the same advantage when they play closer to sea level.

To make it fair I think the NCAA should subtract a few points from CSU score. Maybe subtract 5 points since they practice at high altitude, sooo their final score should be like 62 to 42

I had to go and check this fact, but it's true. Virginia finished higher in the standings than Clemson. What does that say about the Clemson vs New Mexico game if the transitive property were true? :cheers:
