Handy Johnson Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Well, we’ve reached that point where it’s time to start thinking about the unthinkable. With all the number one seeds out & the bracket breaking especially favorably for said Bluejays, they have a very REAL chance of Winning the whole thing. Do I want to boast from now until forever that we beat the National Champs on THEIR home court? Or do I want to see their hopes dashed in a soul crushing blowout…??? I’m praying for the latter more than you can possibly know. Oh BTW I found an Alonzo Verge Warm-Up today @ Thrift World in Omaha, had his monogram on the Ol tagger.

Silver lining - if they do win it there's a good chance most of their fans will be smothered in their sleep from the wieght of the increased smugness they will now carry with them.

cipsucks Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 They're not winning tomorrow. Why? Because the curse of the Top 4 worst Beatles songs is upon them.

How would the FAU roster do if they were to play a 20 game Big Ten schedule? They would win some games but they would also take a physical beating night in and night out, that would take a toll. Their lineup tonight: STARTERS MIN V. GoldinC 7'1" 240 So. 29 A. MartinG 6'2" 210 So. 29 J. DavisG 6'4" 203 So. 34 N. BoydG 6'3" 175 Fr. 21 B. GreenleeG 6'0" 191 Jr. 21 BENCH MIN G. RosadoF 6'8" 247 So. 12 B. WeatherspoonG 6'4" 186 Jr. 19 J. GaffneyG 6'3" 185 Jr. 18 M. ForrestG 6'1" 174 Sr. 17 I'm guessing anywhere from 6-14 (if Goldin gets injured while getting the hell beat out of him) to 11-9. An 11 seed to an NIT team. And when they do hit the tournament, they're not used to winning. The 20 game Big Ten schedule is another hindrance towards tournament success; these teams play 21-23 games vs conferene opponents that they have incredible scouting reports on, then they play somebody new that plays a different style that they don't have a great scout on.

Have we heard what the new conference schedule might look like in a 16-team league? Currently, there are 140 conference games that serve as "inventory" for the various networks. Do they increase that to 160 by keeping the 20-game slate? Has that been released? If they were to go back to an 18-game slate, that would be 144 "inventory" games for the networks and maybe a little break in the conference grind. Play everybody once, and then play three teams once more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmykc Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 Seems to me that playing USC and UCLA will make the regular season more interesting for fans and even more difficult for us to get to postseason play.

Nope. San Diego has been my home town for the last 12 years. And I have to believe that my hatred for Creighton is so strong it will propel those young men of SDSU to a win today.
