OT: NCAA Tournament 2025

[MineroFanatico]

Now that the Miners have been officially eliminated, and so that we can keep a dialogue going, this thread has been created for any and all tournament talk. We should be very used to this scenario at this point. 15 years? Meh, that's but the blink of an eye in the expanse of eternity. Ain't that some boolsh!t!

Let’s see what they release this year.

 

[KaneFan29]

North Carolina goes 1-12 vs Quad 1 teams and still gets in. LMAO

 

[STexMiner]

Liberty v. Oregon.

 

[KaneFan29]

Texas gets in too. 6-12 in the SEC

 

[KaneFan29]

MWC getting 4 in too. 3 of them future Pac 12 schools though.

 

[STexMiner]

Texas gets in too. 6-12 in the SEC

Xavier, too. UNC and Xavier were 2-20 something in Quad 1 combined.

 

[KaneFan29]

14 SEC teams in. Ridiculous

 

[FedupMiner]

14 SEC teams in. Ridiculous

Might as well just put every SEC team in.

Many of the SEC schools will get quickly eliminated. There OOC schedules are atrocious.

Hopefully SDSU without its starting Center can beat North Carolina. With him, they win easily, without, it will be much tougher as the backup is a much softer guy.

I will break down the SEC later.

 

[STexMiner]

Xavier, too. UNC and Xavier were 2-20 something in Quad 1 combined.

Just for funsies, UTEP was 1-1 in Quad 1.

Maybe UTEP1966 and Miner79 can show us the BIG EAST and BIG 10 schools that they insisted would be represented in the NIT when explained to multiple times that they would not be.

I can admit when I'm wrong, unlike other people.

[KaneFan29]

NIT is trash now

 

[jdubb66]

14 SEC teams in. Ridiculous

They're not even trying to hide the fact anymore that this tournament is a moneygrad for the big 4.

It really does suck. Years ago you could play both tournaments as the NCAA tournament and NIT were played at different times. I believe there is only 1 team in history that won both. (CCNY)

The winner of the NIT used to be regarded as the real national champion years ago. Secondly, I read that in the 40's they used to pit the NCAA champ against the NIT champ during the war.

Then the NCAA of course prohibited playing in both tournaments in the 50's. Then followed it up in the 70's where if you were offered a bid to the NCAA's and did not accept it you were banned from playing in any postseason, so you could not go to the NIT either.

It sucks because this used to be a great tournament. I just don't see it going on for much longer.
