    The Final Four could have an outside shot depending on the teams...? But there's absolutely no chance in the first 4 rounds it is. None.

    So we are seriously worried about Creighton fans not selling their tickets which combined are probably worth in excess of $1,000+ because they want to come and support their former assistant coach? Our excuse making has officially jumped the shark. People will sell those tickets. And the ones...

    I totally don't get it either. They haven't been playing their best basketball lately. Gave up 105 to UIC, lost to UNI and had to really scratch out their last 2 tournament wins. Also, in watching Devries I don't think his game translates real well against P5 competition. In what I've watched...

    Ticketmaster business model

    We've bought tickets to a handful of concerts for this summer and I always have the same reaction. "Hey cool, I found two tickets for $60 each, let's do it!"-- go to check out and it's somehow $375.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    I am absolutely shocked that Jerome didn't feel the NIT was beneath him.

    So now I'm curious. DK has us 8th at +2000 behind UConn, Houston, Purdue, Arizona, UNC, Auburn, Tennessee. Bet MGM has us 8th at +1800 behind UConn, Houston, Purdue, Arizona, UNC, Tennessee and just behind Auburn. So it looks like between the major ones we average out around 8th at somewhere...

    It's very obvious they are trying to set a precedent about not scheduling weak non-cons for NET purposes. And I don't think it so much about "gaming the NET" as it is about having a marketable product in November and early December. I think they know if everyone decides to play SWAC teams they...

    I'm looking at ESPN Bet and they have UConn, Houston, Purdue, Arizona, UNC ahead of us. We are tied with Auburn at +1600

    Let’s talk Jackrabbits

    Which I think is the right approach to this game. In most upsets the 3 ball is the great equalizer. So I'd probably play more straight up and trust the turnovers will come off ball pressure and wing denials. No need to double other than as an occasional curveball.

    The 8th overall thing sticks in my craw, but I still love our chances. Vegas has us at, what, the 6th best odds to win it all? That's remarkable and gives a more objective view at our chances. I'm going to chose to look at it as a blessing. TJ will have their attention and this team playing...

    I just hate stupidity. Their rational is stupid. But with that said you’re totally right. You gotta bring your A game to move on against pretty much everyone.

    That’s where I’m at. Their methodology is **** but we are a 2 seed 2 hours from home with a fair draw to the sweet 16. After that point you’re going to have to play well to beat anyone you play. So while it’s awful reasoning, I’m fine with the end result.

    I just can’t get over the stupidity of the non-con stuff. In years passed Gonzaga would beat Michigan State on an aircraft carrier or something and then play no one for 2 1/2 months and get a one seed. But we play top 75 NET teams every night for 3 months straight and get dinged for not beating...

    Really disagree here. MSU has talent and a proven coach and you’ve seen plenty of MSU teams get hot.

    I mentioned it before but it has to be a directive from the TV companies. They want teams playing non-con games they can put on TV. If everyone plays SWAC teams all non-con they have nothing to put on TV

    We got hosed but TJ will have them playing with a chip on their shoulder. That may be more important than anything

    The fact the worst bracket by overall seed ranking is easily the hardest bracket proves the committee is awful

    Damn we were 8 overall. Now that’s an insult. TJ will have a hayday with that

    Just can’t bring myself to get too worked up on draws. Upsets happen every year. No one has any clue what our path looks like and it only matters when we take care of business. And if nothing else this gives TJ a little fodder to play with a chip on our shoulder. I love it.
