"“If I were to rank the at-large candidates in the Southern Conference, I would actually place (UNCG) ahead of Furman because they beat them in the conference tournament for one thing, And, two, they finished two games ahead of them in the regular season. So I think that part would be easy.
“So in Furman’s case, what you’re really saying is there would have to be three teams from the Southern Conference for them to make it. And I think if we’re honest with ourselves, we know that’s not going to happen.”
First thing out of his mouth: head-to-head results.
Lunardi also has Furman ahead of UNCG in his latest bracketology... Maybe he read our thread that proves that UNCG's only quad 1 win is against Furman on a neutral court. Without Furman being quad 1, they have no resume at all other than posting 28 wins. Again, a loss on a neutral court with FU's best player injured, shooting less than half his average FG% can not make UNCG THAT much ahead of Furman, if at all.

For whatever tiny chance we have, it's not starting out great today ... VCU lost as #1 seed in A-10 and I'm sure has a good shot at an at-large spot. LSU is in danger of losing to Florida, another bubble team. So that hurts us in two ways if it happens. Better hope Nebraska doesn't find a way to win another one this afternoon.
And LSU loses. That is probably the nail in the coffin for us, if that hadn't already occurred Sunday.fufanatic wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 3:01 pmFor whatever tiny chance we have, it's not starting out great today ...

I think we can stop discussing this stuff now, lets focus on the NIT and getting a good crowd to Timmons next week!
Yep, thanks LSU for assuring a 15 loss Florida team gets in.DungeonRealm wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 3:05 pmI think we can stop discussing this stuff now, lets focus on the NIT and getting a good crowd to Timmons next week!

This opens it up for SC too.DungeonRealm wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 3:05 pmI think we can stop discussing this stuff now, lets focus on the NIT and getting a good crowd to Timmons next week!
Another thing is MSU got outscored by Ohio St. 16-0 in the last 4 minutes to make a route look close.
The VCU loss probably give the auto bid to Davidson which I hate also.

We were just going to get screwed one way or another anyway
Looks like the NIT, and I doubt we will be one of the first four out. I hate to think we might have to travel to Clemson or S. Carolina for our first game.
