MW watch party

UNM -- curse of the sexy upset pick. Getting freaking rolllllled.

Today's games are really helping me manage my expectations for tonight.

MW wins so far are against a team that had ZERO business being in the tourney and against a bid-stealer from the AAC. Let that sink in.

My "6 ten seeds beating the hell out of each other" theory may have actually been generous. Maybe it was 6 12 seeds beating the hell out of each other?
Yep. This league was way overvalued/ over-hyped this year it would seem. This post season performances will not soon be forgotten by those that follow college basketball
Bet yet the SEC and big 12 performance will not be forgotten? We are gave actually won 2 games. CSU beat a 20 seed Virginia. Can anyone explain to me why 2 10 seeds are playing the play in game and not two 16 seeded teams?
The last four at-large teams and the lowest seeded AQ teams are in the play-in games.
Thanks. It makes absolutely no sense. 10 seeds should no be playing a play in game.

It's a compromise. Somebody could easily say that AQ teams shouldn't be playing in the play-in and that all four games should be at-large teams. I think the fact that winners of the play-in still get full credits is good for the 16 seeds.

Fun fact, the creation of the Mountain West is what ultimately led to the play-in games

Unless you think of them as two separate things....then it does make sense. 2 of those four teams would have been left out but when they expanded to 68, they added 4 more at large by giving the lowest 4 a mini tournament and the lowest 4 Conference champs also became play in games. 16 seed play in games aren't Bubble teams

This year the last 4 at large teams had a "better" profile than some of the upset AQ teams which drove the play in seed to the 10 line instead of 11 or 12.

It's been this way for several years now and makes a lot of sense. Anyone 11-16 were automatic qualifiers for their conferences but deemed to be of lower quality than anyone 10 and above. Those 10 seed play-in games were the worst perceived at-large bids.

It is still 2 wins. If the conference gets one more that is 3 wins out of 6 which is not terrible.

House fouled out with 6 and a half to.play. a turd if a game dropped by UNM.

Agreed - I wasn't sure they'd win, but I didn't think Clemson would have the game wrapped up this early. NM never even made a run.

I get the sense that this is the general feeling of the entire board. There is no anticipation or excitement in here. The feeling that another, typical, disappointing Aggie performance and loss is fait accompli.

I am already planning on having to turn the game off before halftime.

Also planning to swing by the liquor store on the way home.

Let's all go bet our entire bank accounts on TCU -4, then donate all our winnings to the athletic department lol

This is a pitiful performance by UNM.

I filled out two brackets this year. For one I filled out strictly by KenPom rankings. For the other, I used strictly NET rankings. UNM was better in both metrics.

Lobos just can't make up any ground
Lobos, like CSU yesterday, are doing the classic USU -- playing competitively after digging a big hole you can never get out of.

Glad the Aztecs pulled it out for posterity.
Are pulling it out and posterity compatible?

That is not something you should rely upon.

Funny that Jaelen House was reffed in the actual tournament like he should be all year. He should have fouled out of every game with 8 minutes to go in the second half.

Except tons of p5 teams get away with it every year in the tourney too

But yeah that did seem to be an issue for them, MW refs didn’t want to call 50 fouls a game so they let his style of D go

I will tell you guys what San Diego State must be living right off the court. Two times in a row they get a 13th seed in the second round. Man it would be awesome to have that type of opportunity.

Incredible.

Maybe USU will get to face a 16

Cuchelain · Post by **Cuchelain** » March 22nd, 2024, 5:20 pm

The SEC is doing worse than the Mountain West by a long shot. They got 8 teams into the tournament. Every one of those teams was favored except for 9 seed Texas A&M which is pretty much a wash. The results are as follows:

3 seed Kentucky loses to 14 seed Oakland
4 seed Auburn loses to 13 seed Yale
6 seed S. Carolina loses to 11 seed Oregon
7 seed Florida loses to 10 seed Colorado
8 seed Mississippi State loses to 9 seed Michigan State

2 seed Tennessee beat 15 seed St. Peter

4 seed Alabama has yet to play
9 seed Texas A&M has yet to play

I was saying to my buddies after the MWCT it will be fun to watch House foul out early without MWC refs.

I mean credit to SDSU for winning, but it sure seems like the NCAA Tourney spreads its legs for SDSU in ways it does not for other MW members.

I don't disagree with that unfortunately they've been more consistent than anybody else in the conference at winning some tournament game so they're reaping the rewards of it. I can only dream that one day the Aggies might be in their position.

Agreed they have way underperformed based on what they should have based on the seeds that their teams were given.

Pre-scripted profanity-laced tirades — at least as effective as Blake Anderson’s pre-scripted first offensive drive.

If you sum the seed of each opponent a team faced in one NCAA tourney, has any team encountered a higher sum than SDSU did last year?

Last year SDSU played a 12, 13, 1, 6, 9, 4 -> 45
This year is starting well for them too, 12, 13…
