Running 2018 college rings postseason thread

It really looks like the fist never made contact and went over the top of his head, but that was a foul, sure as hell.

 

Good lord ...no foul called? The two stinkin "Tobacco Road" teams get away with so much shit.

Oh, and congrats. That's one helluva Virginia team. I've quite enjoyed watching that bunch.

 

Tough night for the national media who told us Virginia's regular-season ACC title, achieved by a four-game margin, was irrelevant because the schedule only included one game each against the sacrosanct Tar Heels and Blue Devils.
Also tough for Nancy DeVos. The private, for-profit Grand Canyon University fell in the WAC title game. Thoughts and prayers.

 

When they expanded the field to 68 the NCAA moved to a seven round tournament. So instead of having eight teams play in the First Four in Dayton you have 64 teams (the nine seeds and lower) playing on those nights.

And them go ahead and kill off the NIT.

 

But a less lucrative and hence unrealsitic solution. There would be about 32 teams in the field and fewer games to televise.

 

And a riot on your hands.

 

I did not make myself clear. Conferences could still get multiple bids if they didn't have a tournament.

 

1970-71 USC Trojans went 24-2 and ranked No. 1 until mid-February; only 2 losses were to 1-loss UCLA. Only 1 team per conference went to the NCAA tournament. USC didn't play in the NIT because the Pac-8 at the time didn't allow its teams to participate.

 

Wake Forest and State?

 

Somewhere from '68-'70, when South Carolina was still in the ACC, it went undefeated until the ACC tourney and lost. Didn't go to the NCAA.

 

I actually read somewhere that GCU is going nonprofit. Damn if I can find it now.
