I know it doesn't matter but it sort of backs up the idea that if we don't win on Wednesday, we are hosting the NIT.

I'll see you in Hell, Joe Lunardi.

I'll see you in Hell, Joe Lunardi.

About three hours ago we thought he was being generous giving us a 9 seed.

Oh, make no mistake, three hours ago I was still planning on seeing Joe Lunardi in Hell.

 

[CorduroyG]

id be very surprised if we get in if we lose to pitt. 1-5 to end the season aint exactly a good recipe for a bubble team to make it.

 

[pearl31]

why the he11 does he have Wich St still sitting there as a 7 seed?? I do think the committee will let them slip in as an at-large, but that will be as a 10 or 11 seed

 

[OrangeXtreme]

He's got Pitt as a 10 seed.

One of us will be dropping out on Wednesday night.

Better them than us.

PLEASE LET US WIN

 

[SoBeCuse]

Someone needs to take out Artis. Then we'll win.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Hopefully we are better at stopping the foul line. Pitt kills us there and so did FSU last game.

With DC in the middle and wings that aren't very good at pinching down on D, that middle is going to be open all afternoon. Let's just hope we can figure out a way to avoid letting the pass to the high post get made.

if we win, Wednesday night we will be in as a 10 seed, and pitt is out. we may be able to get in with a loss, but Pitt will not. My hope is we win Wednesday and take it from there. a loss, and most likely we miss the NCAA tourney. however with a loss, it could be UConn vs. cuse for a play in game

 

[cpatrocks]

so when we win on Wednesday and we make it to the Tourny as a Play-In team...we will become the first team to win 8 elimination games on the way to a NC?

UConn - Cuse in Dayton. I'd sign up for that right now.

How do you go from a 9 seed to an 11 seed without even playing a game?

We won't be hosting a NIT game because the girls will be hosting an NCAA game. I doubt you can change the set up. NIT games will be on the road.

The Lunardi the Italian surname was first used in 1373. It originated in the far east of Italy and is still very common in the area to this day. The name comes from the Italian phrase 'luni ardi' meaning great proclaimers. Today the name has spread world wide and is becoming more common each year. Many Lunardi's were often cooks or in some cases convicted tax defrauders.

According to Wiki, his wife's name is Pammy Brackets - lol.

No chance they'd match us up with UConn in Dayton -- we already played them.

Other people play games.

We need to shoot well. That's the key. The game needs to be in the 70s.

We are not going to get in if we lose to Pitt.

 

[Dave85]

We need to play good defense.

 

[jdubs30]

We need to play good defense.

Looking at the first 2 games vs Pitt -- our first shot defense was solid, good enough to win -- the problem is they seem to kill us on the boards and get all those 2nd chance opportunities.

I could argue our most important player tomorrow is Roberson and/or DC. We know what we'll get from G, Lydon and Mali. We probably know what we'll get from Trev unless he just goes off. We need Robey and DC to be big time.

 

[jdubs30]

We have been good shooting at neutral courts this year -- although the first trip we had to DC this year didn't go so well...

Someone needs to take out Artis. Then we'll win.

Can you imagine if JB would switch up and play box and 1 just a few possessions to screw up Pitt and take Artis out of the game. Put Cooney on him. He runs around like crazy. I wish JB would do something different on defense but as we know year after year that's not going to happen. Pitt's going to beat us again.
