ESPN Bracketology

[paMANther]

I was looking at the Bracketology and saw that 2 MVC teams were in and even though we are were tied for the regular season champs they still have Creighton 2 seeds higher then what we are in the latest one. Just seems like we can never get any respect in this damn world

We had a bad non conference, with bad losses to UIC, Iowa, Iowa State, and Wyoming. If we won 3 of those games, we would be getting more respect. Creighton has the better overall resume.

Creighton being higher than us is a no-brainer at this point.

Also, realize we are in there as a placeholder... it says Northern Iowa/MVC.

I really don't get what everyone's problem with ESPN is? Who cares if they have called us NIU, or called Koch cock. There are 347 college basketball teams that they cover, they are bound to make some mistakes.

COme on we are consistently in the top 100 RPI if not top 80. At least they could get our name correct.

Re: ESPN Bracketology

Its a giant white spot in the middle of blue - I saw it when they were walking out at the half. At first thought it was a artifact on the web stream. It was definitely was the logo - weird.

the valley is down this year, UNI had some bad losses. we are lucky to even be getting acknowledged to be in the tournament at this point. creighton had a much better season and it shows with their record. let's just win the valley tournament so we're guaranteed a spot.

We are not getting acknowledged we are put in as a placeholder or tourney winner goes here since we are the number 1 seed they use our name.

We have to win the tourney to get an NCAA spot no question.

Creighton better get an at large or something is wrong.

Whatever happens from here on out I have really enjoyed panther basketball in 2009. It has been awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: ESPN Bracketology

As of Sunday morning, Joey Brackets had CU out. On ESPN Radio he described Creighton's situation as though they had laid the biggest egg and will be having it sit in the corner for 8 days to smell. He said their timing of losing and the margin of the loss is huge.

I saw a former committee member the other day say margin of victory doesnt play a role in their decisions. However, I am not sure I believe that. It seemed like that may have kept ISU out last year, since there really wasnt another good reason to keep them out last year.

Except for the fact that they had zero wins against the rest of the field.
