Re: NCAA MBB Tournament 2025

Your welcome. I hope the tournament never expands in a way that makes it too big for a bracket to fit on one page. The CAA would not have been close to an at-large bid this season even if the tournament had 96 teams.

Re: 2025-26 MBB

Rather than bump up an old topic, I'm posting something about 2024-2025 now that the tournament is complete. Only including games against Division I teams, we led the 364 Division I teams in opponents' two-point field goal percentage at .426. It probably helped that top teams had to play other top t...

Re: NCAA MBB Tournament 2025

Duke is the only team to lose an NCAA Tournament game with: * A higher FG% * More FT attempts * More assists * Fewer turnovers * More steals (since steals became an official stat in 1986) Teams who had done that since 1986 were 335-0 in the tourney. Thank you. That is the type of thing I like to fi...

Re: NCAA MBB Tournament 2025

I know, but in order for the guy to do that, he has to know what the committee does. I got a scare for the second consecutive weekend, but my champion Florida came back to beat Texas Tech. If Duke beats Alabama (in progress), Tennessee beats Houston, Florida and Duke win Semifinals, and Florida wins...

Re: 2025 Baseball

We won 13-12 hosting Seton Hall. Before us, I wonder when the last time a team allowed the same amount of runs in three consecutive games with that number being 12 or higher was. In fact, the only MLB teams to do that were when the Chicago White Sox allowed 13 runs in three consecutive games in 1999...

Re: NCAA MBB Tournament 2025

I am in the 87th percentile on ESPN. In a group with 29 brackets, I am second. I am sixth most likely to win the group, and the only person with above a 50 percent chance at finishing in the top five. I picked Florida to win, so I had to worry while they trailed Connecticut for most of the second ha...

If Will Wade can turn Mcneese state into a 12 seed then why in the world are we stuck in the position we are stuck in. If conference champions were seeded by their conference's rank in the NET, the ...

Re: CAA MBB Tournament 2024-25 - Early Outlook

UNCW won 76-72. The attendance was 2,653, which is much less than what UNCW averages at home, and less than what we averaged in some of the 2000s. The CAA is the median conference in the NET, but they may have below the median amount of fans, and they haven't won an NCAA Tournament game or gotten be...

Re: 2025-26 MBB

In terms of a Division II player who helped, in 2016 we blew the Final to UNCW. UNCW's best player that season was Division II transfer Chris Flemmings, who averaged 16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and shot great. He was on the First Team. He had 19 points and 6 rebounds in the Final.
