By this why should we even play the games, these early brackets are useless and any one who gets worked up have too much time on their hands.
Not many real UNI fans spiking the ball over a ****** bracketologist's opinion on December 20th. The league gives us 6 total shots at a Quad 2 win.
Going to take 16-2 plus Sunday in StL to get an at large and 16-2 is hard in any league when everybody knows each other.
Dave at Bracketville has UNI as an 8 seed in Omaha also and he is the #1 ranked guy on bracket matrix. Lunardi I think is in the 50s and palm in the 30s as rankingsMan, as a fellow real UNI fan and alum, I would love an 8 seed in Omaha, but Palm is a ginormous tool, and it's hard for to objectively that that with anything smaller than a huge grain of salt.
False. It has ISU included in it also
Calm down dude, its December 26th today.Dave at Bracketville has UNI as an 8 seed in Omaha also and he is the #1 ranked guy on bracket matrix. Lunardi I think is in the 50s and palm in the 30s as rankings
If you're wondering if UNI would be in the NCAA tournament as of today, December 26th, 2019, then you'd be correct. UNI is still going to have to win the conference outright with a solid record / win the conference tournament to get into the NCAA tournament. There is a ton of basketball to be played before either of those things happen. Getting engulfed with Bracketology at this point of the year is meaningless and will set you up to be disappointed if your team starts to dip below expectations.Dave at Bracketville has UNI as an 8 seed in Omaha also and he is the #1 ranked guy on bracket matrix.

100% true. Last year I believe Belmont won the conference outright, yet lost in the tournament. They were in question to get an automatic bid before eventually letting them in.This is especially true of mid major schools, as good a season as they've had so far, conference tourney is still the biggest factor in the MVC for determining a bid.
So what you're proposing is UNI will end up being 29-2 or 30-1 and will end up getting a 4/5 seed in the NCAA tournament?Here...is this better? They WILL be in the NCAA tournament. They still have a chance at an at large bid also. They go through the conference is 0 or 1 loss they should get an at large and be ranked in the top 20 if not top 15 in nation come the big dance
No. 29-2 or 30-1 but will still be no better than a 7 seed even though they are ranked top 20 in polls. MVC gets shafted with seeding each yearSo what you're proposing is UNI will end up being 29-2 or 30-1 and will end up getting a 4/5 seed in the NCAA tournament?
I wouldn't necessarily single out the MVC, rather all mid-majors don't get a ton of respect outside a few brand name schools. You can't expect the committee to give a team that plays maybe two tough teams in a conference the entire year a better seed than a team that plays in one of the P6 conferences.No. 29-2 or 30-1 but will still be no better than a 7 seed even though they are ranked top 20 in polls. MVC gets shafted with seeding each year
Wichita State and Loyola have 14 of those 19 wins.MVC has 19 NCAA tourney wins in the last 10 years. That is with only 1 team in most years
We're still good for that guaranteed Sweet 16 charity bet, right?Here...is this better? They WILL be in the NCAA tournament. They still have a chance at an at large bid also.

No because I have been burned too many times betting with people I don't know and not getting paidWe're still good for that guaranteed Sweet 16 charity bet, right?
It's charity. You/I aren't getting paid regardless.No because I have been burned too many times betting with people I don't know and not getting paid
Why you backpedaling?No because I have been burned too many times betting with people I don't know and not getting paid
@UNI1ISU2 I would like to choose Puppy Jake as my charity of choice. I'd ask you what yours would be but it doesn't matter.
Puppy Jake sounds good
