Hoops vs MSU

[tomdalton22]

But I completely disagree with kicking any smaller conferences out. They are a big part of what makes March Madness the event that it is.

what...a bunch of shitty teams getting their asses kicked? That's what makes March madness a joke.

I have long thought the tournament should be 32 teams honestly. What's the lowest seed to ever actually win like an 8th seed? So seeds 9-16 are 0 for forever in actually winning the thing.

Sure it's fun when a team like Mercer knocks off Duke, but it lasts for a day and then they typically get booted next round anyway.

Kicking out any teams or small conference and making the tournament smaller is just a stupid Idea in my opinion. Basketball is too excitng ....The more the merrier !!!!

I think it's stupid to let a team in the tournament that has no chance to win it

Sure, but a lot of these teams can and have made deep runs. It's fine the way it is.

I ain't gonna die on the hill here, as I enjoy the 64 teams. I'm just saying in principle it doesn't make sense. Sure 1% of the time a George Mason can make a Final Four. Does that justify always having 32 teams like George Mason in the tournament every single year? I don't think so.

WTF? That is stupid. Do they think that really bothers Wagner? It's stupid.

Are you fucking retarded???? Of course Purdue was a bigger game. Look at their RPI dipshit.

Retarded? really? Shows what kind of person you are to use that as a cutdown. You should know, people have moved on from using this word as a cutdown. Only the lowbrow still even say stuff like this. Shows what kind of person you are.

You're right, though, Purdue is a bigger game AND it is bigger to kick their ass on a neutral than to win by 3 at home. You should know that.

MSU has 2 good wins all year, UNC and Purdue

That is all...

Agree with SpartyNash that 14 team (or as with the ACC 15) conferences are really bad for scheduling in basketball. And what's with not having a conference rival that you play twice every year? UM-MSU should always play twice. Or maybe they are considering OSU UM's "rival", which would be really dumb in basketball.

There's really nothing that can be done about it as it would be pretty impossible to try and project out ahead of time before the schedules are made who's going to be strong/weak and figure out a way to balance things out.

What it amounts to is conference titles other than in leagues like the Big 12 with a double round robin don't mean a whole lot anymore. You've got the unbalanced schedules in the regular season that make it less legitimate. Sure winning the conference tournament is nice, but that is often again a deal where a team gets hot for a weekend. At the same time, I'm not going to apologize for finishing first. There have been other years where the scheduled worked against MSU.

Shouldn't be any protected rivalries. Screw that shit. MSU shouldn't even be MIchigan's rival. OSU is their real rival...and Illinois...and Rutgers...

I heard they were saying Wagner, the American enunciation, instead of 'va-gner'

kind of dumb, but what do you expect?

Now someone is saying they were chanting Victor because thats his real name. I still dont buy it.

Yeah the B10 tourney is a week early to have it in NY

A joke? The first weekend is probably the most beloved sports weekend in America, every non sports fan even moderately pays attention via brackets. Of course the 15 and 16 seeds from crap conferences will never have a chance of winning a championship, but it?s the MTSUs over MSU and Florida Gulf Coast sweet 16 run?s that people live for. Ask those players and fans if they?d rather win some fleabag postseason tourney or battle with a blue blood in the NCAA Tournament.

Um yeah, I think most of us agree it's the most exciting sport the 1st week, even for non fans. It's pretty darn fun to watch bigger teams get bumped off. I think tomdalton's been drinking a little.

I think it's a stupid idea to have a 10-14day break for the BigTen ..this is killing MICHIGAN'S momentum.

Adding to MSU's no good, very bad, terrible week, they have Richard Spencer speaking on campus today. link.

Not trying to be mean... this sucks for MSU. this douchenozzle is trying to speak at UM as well, which is also mentioned in the article.

Sounds like they are handling it right. You handle it right and these things can backfire on the hatemongers.
