Hallelujah. I wish they'd retroactively change the past 5 years, it would make teams/coaches/conferences records and stats easier to follow.

How is Georgetown supposed to get to the second round now?

Buy a ticket like everyone else!

 

[Shark58]

now they just need to make those first games between the 16 and 17 seeds

The SWAC and MEAC lobby is way too powerful.

While we're at it let's go back to the individual court designs at each host sight and ditch current universal NCAA paint jobs.

They'll be lucky to get to the 2nd round of the NIT.

 

[EastCoast2]

Awesome. I've been complaining about this for a few years.

wish I could like this 1000x. I hate the monolith courts the NCAA throws out there now.

And even if the NCAA must have its own standard courts, do they need to go with something so boring and dull.

 

[kirbivore]

my favorite random one was boise st.

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

Wasn't the famous Tyus Edney end to end on that Boise floor? I remember watching that shortly after our heart breaker vs Arkansas.

I can't believe that in my lifetime something has gotten LESS confusing!

Idk, remember the Vermont game? Supposedly there were issues with dead spots on the floor.

At least the courts are the same size.

 

[BuffOrange]

I find it infuriating that anyone/everyone who mattered ever let it be anything else.
Bilas: "I think the next round...which I guess they're calling 3rd RD now even though to me it's the 2nd" was said 1,800 times in the last five years. Noooooo. Just say the 2nd round. We'll all know what you mean and you won't get fired.

Finally.

I also like calling the play-in games the "First Four". It has nice ring to it.

The problem is the mascot keeps making dog vomit noises during games. It's very distracting.

Every time I want to forget the Vermont game, someone has to go ahead and remind me of it.

 

[Dave85]

my favorite random one was boise st.

It hurts my eyes and my head!

Now if the government got rid of the Alternative Minimum Tax you would go into shock!
