SEC embarrassing itself already...

$EC basketball is synonymous with embarrassing.
It is a 40 minute game. Ole piss could come back-

Glad to see AK and Ole Miss get the win after he got hosed at UC. I can't stand BYU. The rest of the SEZ can go pound salt.
Nothing inaccurate in the OP... Being down at halftime in an NCAA play-in game is embarrassing. Enough to cause America to turn the channel.
And just what I'd expect from an SEC team. They should all be in play-in games, and the conference auto-bid should be revoked.
"Elite program", my a$$...

Just out of curiosity, why do you think the conference auto-bid should be revoked? I get that you think the conference isn't good, but do you want to take away every auto bid from every lower-tier conference?
It's not important enough for a separate thread, I was just curious because I had seen you mention taking away auto bids before. And I don't disagree with your ideas, especially the three- or five-game series. It would make sure the best teams were the ones that won the tournaments, but would make less money for the TV companies and the NCAA.
Classic too early smack thread. Now I wished I had watched the second half. BYU was knocking down 3 pointers left and right. Apparently Ole Miss scored 62 second half points.
You are not the only one to turn the channel. I switched over to the Murray St. game and then back to Ole Miss/BYU when Murray's game was over.
It was a fantastic 2nd half - will probably hold up as one of the top few games in the tourney.
Ironically, this kind of game is exactly what everyone has been wanting, and it was given to us by 2 mediocre teams. Fast pace, high scoring, lots of made shots, great rhythm, etc. Sadly the next game Ole Miss plays will probably be a 61-57 slogfest.

Next time, lets not wait till the half. Start trashing the SEC at the 5 minute mark so you look truly omniscient.
Zipp,
March Madness brings in record ratings, interest, and revenue and you want to change it? I found this on forbes.com
"Last year's tourney drew $1.15 billion in ad revenue, according to
Kantar Media, a figure that's expected to increase this year. Helping to
push the numbers is the rising interest in the "First Four," those
preliminary play-in games that determine the last four schools to score
berths in the tournament."
I see what you are saying Zipp, but if it's not broke, don't fix it.

Was there a game being played last night? Nothing worth even considering. Play-in games are a joke. Just a reason to give bubble teams a chance to say they played in the NCAA. The field should be reduced and have zero play-in games. Teams like Ole Miss don't even deserve to play in the NIT. Same goes for BYU, Hampton and Manhattan. Same goes for the rest of the worthless play-in games that I won't watch.
The biggest joke here is that anyone is making fun of Zipp for laughing at an SEC team for struggling in a play-in game. Is thee some braging rights to be had here? Just dumb.

I wonder what will be said if UofL wins a game like this in the upcoming tounament? Embarrassing?
Yeah, that perplexes me as well. It's an unfair disadvantage to be an 11 seed, then be forced to play an additional game that two other 11 seeds, no 12, no 13, no 14, no 15 and two 16 seeds don't have to play . It would make more sense to have the first 4 out play the last 4 in.

I tend to agree. An 11 seed like Dayton should not be in a play in game IMO. Seems like the lowest seed 8 teams should battle it out in the extra games as you said.
OAD tourney results are flukey. The NCAA tourney doesn't produce a NATIONAL champion. It produces a TOURNAMENT champion. Again, look at last year. Anyone think those two teams were the best in the country?
The BEast at full strength was one of the best conferences of all time, much like the ACC is now.
At the other end of the spectrum, the SEC is the worst P5 conference. And it usually is that poor in basketball each year. SEC teams should consistently be seeded in play in games.
Without LPT, the SEC would be the MAC or CUSA. It's why LPT chooses to play there--easy pickins'.
Any other questions? I'm kinda in a hurry.
