Bracketology and Rankings.... Huh???

K
But all the members on the selection committee tell they are selecting teams based on strength of schedule and their wins and losses. We all know that isn’t true they are like the government they just keep lying to everyone. There are network officials in the room telling them what teams should be in and who they play. They are selecting a pairing teams up who will have the biggest TV audience,

During our much discussed coach search , with lots of hand ringing going on, I watched College of Charleston play several games. What I saw was an undermanned team playing their asses off, that's coaching. I said at that time I wanted Pat Kelsey as our coach because if he could inspire those guys to play so hard ,what could he do with more/better talent. Now we know. I love how this team never quits, dives for balls, doesn't backdown from any one. Again that's coaching. GO CARDS!!

I was going to say in the last three games alone.

While it's a different hero every night, I swear Chucky Hepburn might be the single most critical part to our success as a team since Dejuan Wheat's senior year. He didn't score last night, but he still gave Clemson fits at both ends of the court.

Agreed; the Portal was the one development that ESPN did not anticipate when they initiated their strategy to encourage the SEC expansion. The BIG may have been the major recipient of these “unintended consequences”, as countering with attracting Oregon. Regrettably the ACC was late to the show, responding with the leftovers.

As for UL, we are in a great position to advance inside this ACC.

We can celebrate the SEC not looking as great, but Clemson and SMU hurt the ACC terribly. This playoff didn't do anything to help the cause of the ACC.

We're latching on to the Big Ten and ND having success, but the Big Ten is treated just the same as all the other leagues. I mean they're winning now, but we all know when Ohio State, Michigan, and Notre Dame when they're rolling get the biggest media love in sports and have the highest ratings. ESPN is fine with those programs making the Final 4 and dominating ratings.

Your Grade For This Football Season?

I disagree with that. Beating us was the ONLY thing they had to play for and if they had it would have been 5-6 straight. They should have been highly motivated to beat us to salvage any pride out of a crappy season for them.

I think I read they had a player streaming live on his social media from Miami during the game and another one of their players left the field to hit the concession stand in his jersey during the game. At least in the old days they'd have some fight and throw a trash can or two lol

I agree. They are talented, but, limited. Athleticism is a factor IMO. When I saw Hardy play earlier in the season I thought she had superior ‘bounce’ when compared to Harris and Cochran. Seemed like she could provide some rim protection. Maybe she is going to RS in order to develop her overall game some more. Istan and Juffer are more in the ‘plodder’ category. That is not a negative. I don’t recall names, but Notre Dame and Iowa both had posts who were not jumping-jacks. Instead they were space eaters who utilized their size and strength to move people, create space and make easy baskets. I think they both can develop into those types of players.

"Istan and Juffer" are a big downgrade for Louisville basketball as front court players. I don't think they will be here after the season.

Walz has to use the portal for what he can't get with HS recruits and that's talented and athletic front court players. If he doesn't, he will not see the final 4 again.

The portal has changed the women's game too. Coach Walz can't afford a drought like McDonnell has with the baseball program. If Louisville hoops is going to stay elite, Walz has to find ways to sign top front court talent.
