I was going to ask the exact same question . At the moment I'd like to request some sort of inquiry into Rhode Island's home court. I swear his rims aren't regulation size. Vermont has yet to hit a bucket (take a territory) after 3 rounds of play losing 7 of 8 attacks 2-0 and splitting one 1-1.

How could Rhode Island be a #1 seed when they are 0-1 against the top 20 and they play in the A 10? The committe needs to (and will) take into account strength of schedule which will made URI a #2 at best. Anyone notice the Pac 10 leaders Oregon State Beavers and their 4-1 record against the top 20?

Of course the NCAA poll voters and the March Madness selection committee are two different entities...a lot of top teams this year will make it a tough process 8-)

I like to see that my calls for an investigation into Rhode Island's net fixing scandal will fall on deaf ears

. Of course after Rhode Island took a shot clock violation (missed a turn) Vermont was unable to capitalize dropping an even attack (it was 10 on 10 until I lost the last 6 armies in a row) all but sealing Rhode Island's 13th straight conference victory. On the bright side however, it looks like Vermont may have turned it around in their game against Charrlote which has turned into a back and forth affair.

Game 4044444

Bracket busted? Clemson defeats Miami, OH in ten rounds to further their push to the Big Dance in March. "We've been on top of the ACC for weeks, and we can't even crack the Top 20," coach Aesop Jones joked with the media. "You know it's a bad day when the team you've beaten twice outranks you. But the disrespect is good. It keeps the players hungry, it keeps the opposition unaware of us, and it makes the big blowout that much sweeter."

The Aggies manage to pull off an upset against Texas Tech in 4071863. Following the game, NCAA officials stated that they would be investigating the officiating, which seemed biased in the early second half of the game.

OK...OK everyone here's the 2nd installment of bracketology...remember this is only a rough draft to give teams an idea of where they stand...I'll put many long hours into comparing teams for the final March Madness bracket.

Let the debates go on...

In a crucial battle for seeding in the A-10 tourney, Umass defeats Vermont at home in 8 rounds (4072025). Coach Plash Ricrem noted that "Umass beat us at our own game, getting out the ball in transition early (picking up a +2 bonus after round 1) and after that it was all down hill from there. I had hoped that our defense would be able to man up, but it just didn't happen. I can only hope Rhode Island can take them out in the next game, but I think that'll be a tough go."

In other action, Rhode Island is about to finish annihilating Vermont after a couple of shot clock violations on Rhode Islands fault (4023619) But Vermont does appear likely to pick up a win in conference play, coming from behind to avoid a home loss against Charlotte (4044438).
Coach Ricrem noted that "I'm not a big fan of finishing 1-2 in a crucial week against two teams at the top of the conference but I hope our poor showing (which was mainly due to missing wide open shots) will not have too much of an impact in our quest for the tourney, as we currently appear to be right on the cusp of making it.

Any game any map.

As expected, Rhode Island overcomes some late shot clock violations to take down Vermont in 18 rounds (4023619). But Vermont does pick up a win in conference play, coming from behind to avoid a home loss against Charlotte (4044438) in 17 rounds. With so few games left in the regular season, Coach Ricrem notes that it's crunch time in the A-10 and there's no time to play soft basketball, "pedal to the metal all the way down the stretch. It's time to put up or shutup, and we're not planning on being left at the door of the dance."

Basketball Season - Game 24
Big12 — #4 Kansas State @ #15 Iowa State
Game 4071855

K State regroups on the road, holding off Iowa State to break a 2-game slide. Coach Lincecum was unable for comment due to Kansas State's Athletic Department putting a gag order on him, a consequence of Lincecum's harsh public outbursts regarding the dice over the past few games.

air force wants to know how they have dropped a seed after winning another game and is leading the WAC? Foul Play is suspected and pimp hopes the NCAA will launch a full scale investigation.

by **AmphibiousRodent** on Thu Jan 22, 2009 12:32 pm

I'm wondering how Colorado is listed as both a 14 and a 15 seed. Yes, we'll definitely need a full-scale investigation. Is Senator Mitchell available?
