The Annual Bubble Discussion Thread - 2021 Version

[Orangezoo]

How is Houston a top 10 team? Yikes.

 

[kcsu]

Who names their child boogie?

 

[jdubs30]

Buffalo down 10 early

 

[nycfan]

These games are not going well for us

And you're being kind -- starting to turn into a disaster. Oregon State starts at 10:30pm -- now I guess I have to stay up unfortunately.

If 2 of SDSU/Houston/Colorado win were fine

 

[NineOneSeven]

Lmao Houston.

 

[Alsacs]

If McDermott wasn’t on thin ice he would call a TO and just light up his players.

He knows he can’t coach hard and his time is getting bullied.

If 2 of SDSU/Houston/Colorado win were fine

Agree, but that's a big "if"

 

[NineOneSeven]

Wow Ohio on a machine too.

 

[jncuse]

This is his normal MO. Be way off with lots of stupid projections. Wait for the good bracketologists to issue updates, then copy them so his numbers don’t look so bad.

Palm must hate him.

My favourite Lunardi "fixing" happened in 2016.

That was the year that Syracuse played Pitt early in the ACC tournament -- I am guessing the 8-9 game. ESPN and Lunardi hyped it as a must-win play in game for both teams -- Lunardi said the loser was out.

So Syracuse lost and Lunardi took them out -- I think he had them as first or second out. At various point teams "X" and "Y" were behind Syracuse. As teams above the line started to screw up as they played later in tourney week and moved out, Lunardi decided that team "X" and "Y" would move ahead of Syracuse without either team even playing any games. He had to stick to his narrative. There was also San Diego St that he didn't even bother mentioning all week as a game of influence, and when they lost their conference tourney all of a sudden he brought them up and put them ahead of Syracuse as well. (I believe those teams were Oregon St and St Mary's that just jumped ahead of Syracuse after they were all done).

Then when Syracuse missed and he was embarassed because he was so adamant on Wednesday that they were done, he started to whine about the process.

Creighton should be excluded from the tournament for this awful performance

 

[Alsacs]

Penny Hardaway is one of those coaches who complains about every single call.
He would get a T from me for complaining about every call.
It’s like Jaime Dixon. I liked him a lot as a player but man just pick your spots.

He gone.

 

[Cusesky8214]

SDSU looking like they will finish this

 

[jdubs30]

SDSU should be fine

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Really need Houston to pull through and get this

 

[syrBossHogg]

Wow they're taking the foul away from Williams?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[ORRange]

Finally, got SDSt

 

[NineOneSeven]

this sims guy on Texas is having a game

 

[ElwoodJBlues]

What an atrocious call reversal in Memphis-Houston.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Wait they didn’t call a foul on Williams there? That is absolutely terrible.

 

[Charbroil]

That officiating decision in the Houston game was horrific.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

What an atrocious call reversal in Memphis-Houston.

Horrible. Might change the outcome of the game.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Penny paying off officials in the timeouts?
