Wuuuutttttt?!? Just so hard to imagine Rice and Boyle on the phone pumping each others egos. -

Rice and Boyle are really close, so this should be an interesting chess match. -
I enjoy The Office, and I adore Parks and Rec. Just know that both shows have difficult to get through first seasons. Parks really picks up towards the end of Season 2, and is awesome from then on, though most of Season 2 til that point is still enjoyable. Parks is my feel good show to watch when I’m feeling down. I have a number of episodes that I have memorized at this point that will still help to improve my mood.

I think the route to the top in the MWC is tougher than you give it credit for, for various reasons. Back to the seedings. Michigan State was given extra credit by the committee (per the chair) for gaining such good Quad 2 wins in conference. The MWC was downgraded (per the committee chair) for racking up so many Q1 wins in conference. WTF? Multiple teams were praised in interviews for their OOC play and that reason was given for a higher seeding. I know CSU struggled in conference on the road, but who had a better OOC? Not many. Not that we should have been a high seed, but if OOC really mattered, why the play in game? The MWC was punished for being the MWC and forcing the committee to put 6 teams in. Yeah, getting 6 teams in is a pretty solid accomplishment in an 11 team league, but it feels like we pissed off the committee for making them do it.

Yeah, now that I look, I think I'm wrong on this point. I do seem to recall that was the case awhile back, but I haven't been able to find when a change (seemingly) has/had been made. Showing may age, I guess - and my general growing disinterest in college athletics...

It depends on tastes and preferences. Never got into The Office so I'm not a fair judge. Parks and Rec almost always left me feeling better after watching. The Office did have a lot of cringe and I didn't find all the sexual references stuff to be all that clever.

Final MWC Seeding Predictions

232'nd compared to 32'nd (200 places higher and something the selection committee claims every year is something they factor in) ranked OOC SOS, two less quad 1 wins, only 3 true road wins (again something the committee claims to factor in every year, road success) 1 place higher in NET and Lower in KPI. No, Boise has a superior resume to Colorado. As was the consensus among bracketologists. Lawd I hope Boise, CSU, UNM, USU and Nevada get some wins between them. - Today

I don’t see all the angst towards the committee. The single most important thing is to get the best at large teams into the tournament. Most bracketologists I looked at had 67 of their 68 make the field. At the end of the day there can only be one champion and that school will have to beat all comers.

https://www.sciencealert.com/physicist-claims-universe-has-no-dark-matter-and-is-27-billion-years-old I posted the original paper last year, follow up stuff. Pretty fun hypothesis. Almost like Occom's razor of cosmology or something, eliminating the need for dark energy and matter.

Win more. I guess Yes, CSU and the Aztecs scheduled and played well OOC hence their high rating in January. I guess finishing seventh didn't help their cause. I am actually stunned that SUDS got a #5 seed and a doable path to the Sweet 16. Finishing four and four with two wins against bottom feeders should have out them on the six line.

LuRod will never be on any draft boards. He needed to develop into an elite three point shooter which he’s not. He also has poor handling and passing ability. With that said, he’s a plus athlete and defender and can easily make money in Europe.

Final MWC Seeding Predictions
halfmanhalfbronco replied to Nevada Convert's topic in MWC Sports Forum
Yep. Exactly. No way in hell those resumes are 5 seed lines better. Ridiculous. As was pointed out earlier, of the 100+ bracketologists included in bracket matrix (basically the equivalent of a bracket composite), only 5 teams were seeded on average 1.5 seed lines or worse by the NCAA selection committee. All 5 are MWC teams. Clearly the selection committee put emphases on things they claim they do not, such as past years results and name, and for the first time in such an obvious way it sets precedent. Oh, and BPI should be tossed as a metric. It has been shown that ESPN contracted teams to rate better and non ESPN contracted teams worse, year after year, consistently, when compared to every other formula. - Yesterday

Lunardi's thoughts. Seems the consensus is Boise got royally +++++ed.
