re: Joe Lunardi Bracketology 2/11/16

Eh I hate saying the refs had that big of an outcome on a game but they really did last night. It's hard to play tough defense when you know that the slightest touch is a foul call and if you're worried about fouling out. That being said, the refs in the NCAA tournament are soooooooo much better than the shite you see during the season.

1) you are arguing that a 118th ranked non conference schedule is not terrible?

There are 351 teams in Division 1 basketball. So we were in the upper 1/3...not terrible

3) you were the person bringing up point spreads of losses in regulation.

---

Yes, in which we were missing 25 points of scoring on average per game. I'm not sure what is hard to comprehend about that, but you're struggling mightily.

No one on this site is on the committee. You don't have to convince us. You can look at how the committee looks at injuries and close losses in terms of both positives and negatives. I'm not sure who you are trying to convince.

---

Again, what are you saying? I'm arguing a specific argument...that the committee will take into account injuries. Never...not once, has any one said it doesn't matter we lost those 4 games. But you said from the get go injuries didn't matter...then said it does kind of matter but we still lost...then said Vandy was missing a player when we beat them so obviously it matters. I'm not trying to convince anyone, I'm using statements from the biggest and best basketball analysts in the country to prove i'm right (which I'm doing), only to have others (like yourself) say I'm wrong because...well, you just think so.

Again, like Chopique said...it's hard to have decent arguments around here because people are childish

We also added another top 50 road win last night. Alabama jumped into the top 50 with that win over A&M

---

according to the ncaa right now, lsu has zero top 50 road wins. can't believe we're still haven't gotten this cleared up.

Well that kind of depends on what RPI you use. I could easily say Alabama is a top 50 team

just stating the truth. trying to keep the psycho circus from lying too much

camp, i know this might come as a surprise but, warren nolan is not the ncaa. you can complain about "updated" all you want but, the ncaa site has today's date and neither vandy nor bama are in the top 50. i understand that might change but i'm willing to bet none of us knows for sure where bama will be when it does. but as of right now, it is misleading to say that lsu added "another" top 50 road win.

incidentally, espn's bpi, who has been higher on lsu than pretty much anyone, has lsu finishing outside the tourney. i find it interesting that no one from the crew has mentioned that.

as i said last night, the scar game didn't kill lsu's chances. it just narrowed the margin of error more. the tigers still have multiple avenues for making the tourney.

He's so stupid that he didn't get your joke, Truth

Well it doesn't count non D1 games, so that's possible

But I find it hard to believe that Bama went from 56 to 58 after beating a top 20 RPI team
