X 11th is ESPN Power 16

Postby xfan » Thu Jan 31, 2008 7:08 pm

Nice to see the Muskies getting props! What I like even more is knowing we beat IU at #10, and KState at #16..just for conversation, what would our tourney seed be looking like if we beat Tenn?

You need to keep this in mind. I have it on the highest authority, following the loss to ASU, that Admin/aka/Mr Neutral, said we'd be a "bubble team" come selection Sunday.

Wise, didn't you have X in the NIT in Miller's first year? Taking back that prediction, are ya?

If X continued to play like we did against ASU, we would have been a bubble team-NIT bubble. Fortunately, the team got back on track and has played generally very good ball since then.

X played 3 of the top 16, beating two pretty handily and just missing out on the third. Not bad. Take out the rest of the A-10, get a great seed, and next game get Stanley 21 points.


BTW will someone kick Bilas in nads? Same thing for Gottlieb.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
