TJ following Hoiberg would have been like John Adams succeeding Washington as the 2nd President- it probably wouldn’t have worked ultimately and he would never have gotten out from under Hoiberg’s shadow.

As a Washington admirer (see photo at left), I love this analogy. I do admit, though, I'm also a fierce fan of Adams, far more so before his presidency, though. So the analogy holds.

Good on you for making the point!

I’m confused. Are we guaranteed a 3rd game? If St. John’s doesn’t hit that meaningless layup would we be in the championship game?

Yes. The top 4 play for money, the others play “seeds”. Ones play ones and 2s play 3s I’ve heard.

Disclaimer, I’m just repeating crap I’ve heard somewhere

Auburn is 5th. We can’t have them win by too much.

They better worry about just winning first.

Michigan is gonna roll. So will Zags. That means the top four will be:

• Gonzaga
• Michigan
• Tennessee
• Kansas

Iowa State the lone 2-0 team not in the 1 v 2 or 3 v 4 games. I doubt they would put two league teams against each other especially in non 1/2 or 3/4 games, so ISU wouldn't play Houston. I'm guessing we play Auburn or Maryland.

I also don't know how any of this works.

Don’t worry, no one else does either… this tournament is literally Who’s Line is it Anyways- the games are made up and the the points may or may not matter

Looking like they don’t need to worry. They aren’t going to.

Don't think so.

 

[CyValley2]

I will take your word, that’s before my time.

Yeah, but I'll bet you're well-read. heh

 

[ISU_Guy]

I think we are trending towards Ku, tenn, mich, zags in the top 4

When does the 'eye test' come into play?

I do like history. When I went to Boston I enjoyed all the history there. It gave me a sense that Sam Adams is way under appreciated for his contributions

Playing SJ again would be a strong contender for dumbest sh*t of all time.

 

[dahliaclone]

This has to be sarcasm right? There is no way they'd do rematches when there are plenty of decent match ups between teams that didn't face each other.

 

[BCClone]

I didn’t think they did rematches in consolations

 

[JM4CY]

wtf?

Oh well, 3rd was an extra $150,000, 4th is extra $100,000. The championship game is where the moola is at,
1st gets $1,000,000 and 2nd gets $500,000.

I thought 3rd was 300 and 4th was 200.

Gross

 

[NiceMarmot]

I thought I read that they’ll tinker with matchups to avoid rematches or conference games. But who knows with this format.

 

[Cyched]

If you’re billing yourself as a serious event you can’t have rematches.
