jdgaucho Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 We had a chance to end this at-large talk back in December, but Nevada eeked out a 1 point win. You're welcome Reno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to grammar nazi you, but I'd rather someone tell you this on an anonymous message board than have you put it in a college app or resume. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bubble is a mess this year. But 36 teams are gonna get in. It may not have killed them, but all the bubble teams who lost didn't help themselves either. Quote We’re all sitting in the dugout.

blind_squirrel54 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 17 minutes ago, wolfpack1 said: Anything is possible, I remember I think it was Nevada's last year in the WAC when they only lost one conference game before losing in the first round of the WAC Tournament. It turned out Nevada was the first team out of the NCAA that year and just needed one more win to get an at-large which shocked everyone then, so who knows anything is possible especially if Nevada keeps winning. However then again the committee is A LOT different now than it was then That team actually lost in the semi final (second game). If I remember correctly, they were one of the first four out not necessarily the first one out. Interestingly, Iona and BYU were two of the last teams in that year and both teams beat Nevada.

A certain set of metrics do not get you in. How you compare to others does. If metrics mean nothing, then how come KenPom is so accurate at projecting who will get in the tournament?

Yup my mistake thought it was the first round and it was the semi-final. Nevada did lose to Iona that year in the bracket buster and then lost to BYU at a Thanksgiving Tournament in Las Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For football i think the loss at Utah St that year hurt more because if we won that game I think it could have made us forget about the loss the week prior to La Tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That latech loss was crushing in person. They had fourth quarter touchdown drives of 84, 89, and 92 yards. Had we held them once it would have been clinched back to back conference titles. 1 Quote We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch.

It sucks the way the schedule turned out, but it is what it is. Let's win the MW tournament and not leave it in the hands of the committee You might have to beat the Magnificent-7 2x to do that. I'm amazed our guys have stayed healthy w/all the minutes they've been playing. GO STATE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton as the ball handler. But there's no way Nevada gets invited the NCAA tourney this year as an at-large. Win the tourney or NIT.

IanforHeisman Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Do teams ranked in the 50's get NIT bids? Just curious if Boise has a legitimate shot at the NIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAL would be a realistic game. So would USC. They could get St. Mary's again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
