The House of Blue

Wow only 3 SEC teams

all we had to do is beat vandy...even tho i knew we werent in its sinking in now...this hurts man we dont even get into the tourney coming in ranked number 3 to start the season...to me the losses that hurt the worst were being up 11 at half at bama we gotta win that game...and you have to go into georgia and win i mean come on...and then obviously vandy...we win those 3 games and finish season 25-8 we r a 6-7 instead of at home watching

This is a joke how are la salle Boise and middle tenn better than uk the committee is a joke. I know have no reason to watch the tournament this year

Let's not play the blame game. UK was aged awful and only almost made the tourney because of how everyone else sucked. Own our sh--. We were disgusting.

NCAA chair Mike Bobinski says Middle Tennessee got in because of veteran team that won on road. Said others (UK) didn't win on road.

Hard for me to blame Cal. It was a bad crop of freshmen nationally.... Even the best ones.

It's almost like he did too well last year. Ha ha. Regardless, all of this "we were better than those guys" discussion is silly. Any other year, and we would have not even been in the discussion. I didn't even watch and won't be watching the NIT. It's football time.

Can't decline nit bid unless do it at start of year.

I have no problem with us being out. Shocked only 3 SEC teams got in. But there are a lot more deserving teams out there than middle Tennessee. They have a veteran team but played a really weak schedule. They don't deserve to be in. Veterans should not be a deciding factor, neither should road wins. No games played are road games.

you cant put it all on cal...cal must have magically got worse at coaching cause last year he did a great job coaching and won a national champ...the year be4 he did another horrible job and got to the final four...guy must suck...during games guys would literally hold the ball and look at cal like what do i do now...youve been playing basketball your whole life go make a play...when the play called doesnt work you go make a play thats what happens...whether it is harrow or goodwin off the dribble or poythress, wiltjer or cauley in the post someone has to just play basketball and not look to cal and have him say ok kyle get down on the block or willie go set a screen or poythress jump and dunk the ball when a guy is 4 inches and 20 pounds less then you...the one problem this team had is it couldnt create for itself...we were one guy away from being really good...we had 2 chances there names are mark lyons and dez wells

that was a complete joke.. honestly they got in due to veteran leadership.. not to mention the only fact they were good on the road was because the teams they played were god awful..
2 road wins and 1 neutral site win RPI 100-150
9 road wins and 1 neutral site win RPI 150+
so i dont see how those road wins are any good
not to mention they lost to florida by 19

You are always the carrier of good news matt lol.

You just answered your own question. They won their road games, we did not. Pretty simple when you think about.

Sorry.... I've been reading books instead of reading all of your posts.
