ESPN First Take.....

[TJames]

discussing Indiana State and other conference tournaments in their First and Ten segment....debating whether conferences like the Missouri Valley should have automatic bids.....and having "mediocre" teams stealing bids....from other so-called "deserving" NCAA teams......

 

[Callmedoc]

lol...THey do realize the MVC is just three years from multiple bids right? We need to reinstitute a scheduling rule...period

I get the impression that one of these years it's gonna be just like football and basketball will switch to a I-A and I-AA for the NCAA championship. With the six BCS conferences being I-A all to themselves. And every team in every conference will qualify for their post season tournament. Seeding will all depend on where they wind up in conference play and there will be no more conference tournaments.

I agree.

Get ready to watch firstTake in the next 5 minutes - Skip (dumb ass) is about to tell the world why the Sycamores shouldn't be in the big dance. ROFL!

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

WATCH NOW! He's about to be an idiot I have a feeling.

SSOM- I made it back from the Bally safely.Glad to see you are up and at it..

Just turned on the TV to hear Skip be Skip (a dumbass)

That was entertaining..

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

that's why i started the thread in the first place...lol.....

Ok well I was asleep this morning Tom so i was reminding people who didn't get the chance to see it. I mean you've started 24 threads in the past 24 hours, it's hard to know what threads you have started and why you started them at this point. lol I was out celebrating with Sycamore folks like KPat last night, this weekend reserved little time for celebration - plus it didn't make economic sense for me to celebrate in the Lou.

 

[TJames]

ahah thanks Tom... I don't want to wear out my welcome, I do the game recaps because some people are not able to see the game and I want them to get a first hand perspective of what went down and secondly it helps me vent/sleep at night getting all of my thoughts on paper and out of my mind. I'm just gald those recap threads have generated discussion all season, really glad about that - this is what this is all about. With that being said I think more discussion was generated when I posted comments rather than video - although they both had 50 plus views so not bad. Thanks again.

Did anyone happen to note that UNI made it to the Sweet 16 last year? I get tired of these stupid arguments. What would make more sense, throwing another mediocre Big 10 team in there? Please, the Big 10 tournament is boring enough to watch without them spoiling the NCAA tournament as well.

Look -- If no one realizes why there are 68 teams instead of 64, it's because of the BCS schools.

I don't see the BCS conferences giving up their tournaments -- too much money and it stays within the conference
