LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD!!!!!!

The CBS analysts are rediculous and they should hear about it

[panther2317]

Thus begins my yearly puke-fest that is having to listen to Billy Packer. He's awful and Jim Nantz needs to stick to golf. Really...they were so rude to Craig Littlepage today that I hope they are reprimanded. They didn't even let him answer questions.

And a sidebar to Nantz reading Bradley's non-conference schedule on television...I can find 10 "power conference teams" that made the NCAA's, who have worse non-conference schedules than they did. I'll debate him all day long and it wouldn't take much research to make him sound like a moron.

Packer was ready with stats about the Valley vs. the ACC and I'm sure he's been ready for weeks. Some of his stats were wrong by the way too...which shows how smart he is.

I missed most of the CBS show.....anyone wanna fill me in on what all they said

Talking Heads...

My thought was that Jim should go back to broadcasting something he understands, figure skating...

[Marc Wigim]

Yeah, but Billy PACCer almost tearing up on National Television was sort of funny. I think that says enough.

This is coming from a Georgetown fan and Big East fan.


You guys are absolutely right about Nantz and Packer for attacking Littlepage like that.

What Littlepage said and they didn't hear correctly was that the power conference schools have "Opportunity" to play other people. No one is going to have a problem playing Michigan or Florida St.

Not many people are going to schedule Home-and-Homes with UNI, Bradley and Wichita St

The fact of the matter is those teams had some pretty good wins in conference and ATTEMPTED to play a tough OOC schedule


Cincinnati is the only school that really had a beef and it's not because of the MVC...

Air Force and Utah St...No way

I was all for saying things to ESPN about Crapper Phelps but that was before the pairings. Now, I personally think we shouldn't worry about it. We're in the dance and we play Georgetown on Friday night. Nothing Packer says can change that.

[Beaker416]

Good points GeeDell, nice to see that our opponent's fanbase is representing themself with some class.

[Newsbreaker]

Anyone catch Packer tipping his hand and talking about an 8/9 game that hadn't even been announced yet? Might be time to put that horse out to pasture.

I didn't see the exchange with Littlepage, but I can imagine how it went. All weekend long, Nantz was beating the mid-major horse, but not in a fair manner. He wasn't saying an MVC team has to outshine teams like Michigan, Indiana, or other '2nd division' invitees, but rather thought we had to compare with the champions of those leagues. Rediculous.

If you didnt see Packer and Nantz interogate Littlepage, here's a summary of what I can remember with some defense for the mid-majors:

They stated that some of the mid-majors didnt play any non-confernce opponents that were any good. Then went on to read the Bradley and George Mason non conference schedules.

Thats is fine to do that, but they didnt read the non conference schedules of the major conferences teams which they thought should be in which actually have worse scheduling than Bradley and GM.


They then propose that the commitee should look at a 5 year period of how teams do in the NCAA tourney because teams from the major conferences are 96 and whatever over that period while the valley and other mid major teams have won like 10 games...

Ok, well last time I checked the Power Conferences always get the best seeds and the worst teams to play against while Mid-Majors receive higher bids and the only wins we get are from upsets of higher seeded teams.

I couldnt believe how they were attacking Littlepage and didnt even let him answer some of the questions....

That was the main issue I had with their argument and all the others against the mid-majors. No one has successfully defended this question.

This article breaks it down nicely and rips Nantz and pACCer.

The anti-MM's have a point, though.

To counter it, we need to start winning games in the tourney, not just worry about getting in.
