• Pimp with guns, meth etc. Working as ASST coach at UCSB caught, arrested. Yes, again. Those above the law. We'll see.

They are currently predicted as an 11 seed. That’s bottom middle third/top bottom third.

I don’t know who Miami has played I’m guessing it’s not a laundry list of top ranked teams. If they are good they will win. Beauty of the tournament.

That was a crazy story.

Then how can you comment with any credibility?

I tune in some of the Conference TMT games....to get warmed up. I will use TMT games for entertainment (low level gambling). I will look for any edge to setup low risk bets. The more games on at the same time....the better I can do.

We still have the old guard ^^^^ types claiming "ranked teams" are all that matter. yawning. Yep, the top 25 are all "Big schools", Big thugs, no more school, one and done, Big conferences but maybe for token #25 SLU got squeezed in somehow.

We also have one guy on Kansas (Peterson?) who has decided he plays only WHEN he wants to or feels good enough. Look fo this trend to spread like wildfire. He missed well over half the season? Sometimes plays the first half then sits out. 5 min before game comes down with the FLU or cramps. Bill Self goes along with it? Simply amazing. I used to like KS, felt sorry for Bill self. Then he won once or twice. The inmates run the asylum. Enjoy.....


Even "OTHERS" receiving votes....does not contain MIAMI OH?
OTHERS RECEIVING VOTES: BYU 74, Kentucky 47, Louisville 47, Missouri 40, Wisconsin 27, Clemson 16, Utah St. 10, UCF 7, High Point 7, Dayton 5, Villanova 4, Navy 3, NC State 2, TCU 2, Ohio St. 1, Santa Clara 1.

Current betting ODDS to "win it all". I almost never play any futures bets, or prop bets.
But this is the current rankings based on where the money is flowing to. MI&DUKE. yawning.


ILL and IOWA ST. got up there pretty high. And MIA OH shows up at the 500:1 tier.
KS at 60:1 (wonder if the superstar will decide to play?).

Why dont you remind us when the last time one of the non "big schools" who were unranked won the tournament....

VCU from the 68 spot? Butler IND team came eyelash close. Villanova. 83' NC State. KS with 12 losses. Lots of them make a good run often. Or would you rather see 15-14 IND or MO because? SEC or BIG10? Get off me//

 

[leftwinger]

I've got decades glued to NCAAB. They began to lose me when always giving calls to DUKE or other big schools (early round or elite 8 games) pushing them thru to the late rounds for "ratings". Then all of you can say...see, little teams never win. Climb off me. Getting angry just thinking about decades of it. Worse way back when TV was less. UNC at Greensboro 1st round every darn year...no matter the record.

Villanova was 85' that's the last and only team to do it I think. So, for the last 40 years a ranked team has won the championship.


BTW you ***** and moan that the regular season means nothing and then also ***** and moan that the ranked teams (based on their performance in the regular season) get better seeds in the tournament...

Without writing a book, such a thing as not "winning it all" but putting on a good showing in 1 game or getting to the final 8. Uh yes even final 4. It has been allowed to happen (more recently). Should have, could have been many more times over the last decades but big schools and TV money, we know all about it.

Playing good, clean basketball with dignity and class. Not the REFS granting all late phantom calls to the powerhouse to make sure they dont get bounced early.

Princeton, Vermont, SLU, Iowa St., Austin Peay, UCF, George Mason, VCU, Winthrop, Davidson ..so many. Marquette used to have to get lucky to make the field.

Little schools being sent to SEA to play WASH (against PAC10 refs, 20K home fans) at 11PM EST time from FLA.....yet they hang in there and play well. But "dont win it all".

Just stop.

So why do you pay attention to it? I don’t watch pro wrestling because it’s scripted and so I find it uninteresting. If you believe college basketball is rigged why are you wasting time commenting about it?

Not all rigged. But many selective opportunities back to the 70s 80s 90s up to now.

If big teams run into a tough game vs. little school, they were often given every call down the stretch to pull it out by 1 or 2 points. We've all seen it. Some wont admit it.

See UCF vs. DUKE when they fouled out the 7'4 guy on a touch foul with over 2 min left. DUKE then made up the deficit and avoided early round loss whem UCF missed a prayer at buzzer.

Like that. Uh yeah, anger. They do t want DUKE out of big games coming up or the final 4. They grt all the help they need. Home games. We all know. People like some on this site? They are OK with it? because SEC or ACC or DUKE. Or UNC must pay in Greensboro.


Like no pass interference on the RAMS at Saints to keep LA alive. Must be our imagination.

Get off me.

So you think the refs are in on it (all the refs because how would one know when a big name school will need this help you think they are providing) but none of them have ever said a word. None of the smaller school coaches have blown the whistle in 50+ years of this going on according to you? That’s your contention? Your going to need to provide a little more evidence than “we’ve all seen it” for a conspiracy of that magnitude

Yeah it’s sad what a crying woman you are about this.

The small school I want to watch isn’t on TV. It must be a conspiracy.

BTW if you are talking about the Miami O v UMass game it was on TV. ESPN+.

MIA-OH was not on out west at 8AM. I cant go back in time and prove it. Not on my two or three ESPN ch? ESPN+ must be another paid option? I don't know and do t care. I have a zillion ch. Anyone can type up a sheet. I searched all NCAAM. As many as 8-10? games were on at a time on my TV.

Not even shown up in search out West. Get off me.
