NCAA Tournament 2016 Thread

Shocker, the committee plays favorites by adding big name schools as the at larges, again.

It is funny that Larranaga gets to go to where he could have coached after '06.

St. Joe's should have got a higher seed.

Bona got SCREWED.

Terrible picks by the selection committee. It sounded like the Committee Chairman had no idea what he was talking about at the end of the selection show. His arguments absolutely made zero sense as to why teams were in and out.

Hey, the Bonnies needed to win that game against Davidson and might have (probably would have) beaten a Melvinless vcu team to make it to the finals. They screwed themselves I think.

True, but St. Bona was playing better ball than 'Cuse down the stretch. I'd let the Bonnies in over Syracuse for the simple fact that the Orange would never schedule a game in Olean.

I think I speak for everybody in saying we are all huge Oregon State fans right now.

Looks like Mr. Elizabeth Turner failed to make the tournament. So much for the thought that he would be able to get back to the tournament since he had all his team back. And then improve his coaching offers.

Monmouth and Bonnies over Tulsa, Cuse any day. Committee stumk it up.

 

[The Great PATSby]

Selection Committee: "There's only 2 teams from the SEC in the tournament. That can't be right because it's the SEC, we need to add one more. How about we just add 19-13 Vanderbilt #60 RPI for the hell of it?"

Bonnies, GW and Davidson get NIT bids and rightfully so.
Duquesne has opted to play in the CBI.
Fordham has opted to play in the CIT.

Is anyone going to create a bracket for MasonHoops this year?

Former conference mates Towson and ODU, along with LA Tech (former Mason assistant) have opted to pay the $50k to play in the Vegas 16. Although, there are only 8 teams instead of 16. Wonder if that $50k gets reduced since its now a 3 day event, instead of a 4 day.

And the A-10 crashes out of the NIT in the first round.

GW survived.

Of course Wagner sends Siegfried out with his sword.

And Fordham lost in the CIT at home, while Duquesne scored 120 to beat Omaha by 8.

Dook is having a hard time with UNCW!

Yale knocks off Baylor.

The Old Cuban is quite the PR machine. Besides the stories and videos of him "walking down memory lane" practicing at Mason the other week....today CBS did a segment following him as he "walked down memory lane" with his team since they are playing at Providence.

Probably the most screen time the U has had basketball wise that didnt involve talking about NCAA violations.
