The only reason people give a shite about the NCAA tournament is because of those teams. Nobody watches the 11am game that's tight to the wire when it's Michigan State vs Stanford. But they sure do when it's Michigan State vs Murray State.

exactly. the conference tourneys dont draw near the numbers the ncaa tourney does for this reason. NC state just pulled off a major upset run, but it didn't have the same hype to it because they are still a major program.

What do you mean going to? They did that 25 years ago.

He can f’ng piss off. SLU beats him if they didn’t lose a timeout on a bogus call in 2012.

that's entirely false. i kinda have a "my team" from other conferences when it comes to march madness basketball (Baylor, UNC, Michigan, Arizona State, Gonzaga, etc.) that i'm generally pulling for every year even if my actual team isn't in it.
If Farleigh Dickinson knocks off #1 UNC, I'm all for it. don't want it for my guys, but love the chaos.
Out of touch take from Izzo

Tom Izzo should STFU

Michigan State went 10-10 in its league. If you can't finish above .500 in your league, you shouldn't be eligible for an at-large bid. I'm Team More Deserving over Team Best.
If you can't prove you're one of the best in your league, why should you get a chance to prove you're one of the best in the country? We saw Virginia, a run-of-the-mill ACC team get in and look like shite last night. A mid-major team would have been more interesting to watch.

Basketball is the sport where mid majors actually have a realistic shot at making a deep run in the postseason. We don’t need to take away those auto bids to reward a few more big conference teams that only went .500 in conference play

Two mid major teams made the Final Four last year.

Get rid of conference tournaments so undeserving teams don't sneak in.
Posted on 3/20/24 at 8:52 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
The auto bid should be for the regular season winner not the stupid conference tournaments

The mid to low majors is what makes March Madness Great.

What a bum. His team had no business in this tournament this year anyway. Of course, they gave him a 9 seed so he avoided the bubble comparisons, which Mich State would score unfavorably.

Imagine someone from the old guard saying something like that, and actually listening to that nonsense. Knowing the NCAA and the dogshit organization we all know they are, it will probably happen within a couple years.
