  • Re: BracketBuster

    Not too shabby at all. So much better than Katz's Niagara prediction last week. Murray State's RPI may not be the best, but the showdown between Canaan and Nate will be good stuff. Two guys who are legitimate All Americans from mid-major schools squaring off in a prime time slot. Lots to like here.

      Witchita St gets Detroit? That was a little skip around the Jackrabbits as well.

        MVC avoids the Summit League for all TV games. That does kind of irk me. Would have liked to see how we stacked up.

          How did Detroit get WSU and not the Jacks?

            I think ORU almost beat Creighton on TV a few years ago, can't remember another MVC game happening since.

              This means that Murray State is coming to Frost in '13/'14 or '14/'15.

                Great time slot and ESPN2 is a lot better than ESPNU. Travelling nearly across the country in the three days is not so great, but what can you do.

                  Maybe the guys can rent a Tennessee bus and make the trip.

                  Heck, it worked the last time.

                    I've read a couple places that the return games will be in 13/14 to wrap up all loose ends for bracketbusters. Maybe I am misinformed.

                          UND at Omaha, that isn't going to make the Who fans very happy.

                            Jackrabbits get a great time for TV game on Saturday night on ESPN2.

                              A. I say no

                              B. by RPI SDSU would have way better argument 2 bad losses, USD and Hofstra, both on the road, 1 a rivalry game 1 against a totally different Hofstra team because of suspensions, close loss against Alabama (60 RPI), close loss against NDSU (65 RPI)-rivalry game, bad loss at Minnesota (8RPI) but no Wolters and just a bad loss at Belmont (19RPI), and a win @ New Mexico (5 RPI)

                              Now saying all of that, both teams would have to win out, and then lose a close game in the championship to even get into the argument and we've had that argument before. I'd put more weight on it if Andy Katz was saying that during the pre show of the selection show.

                              As far as Bracketbusters matchups. Again it just appears that some schools/conferences have pull. Of the losers the 2 biggest ones I think are Belmont (can't get Creighton, instead gets 90RPI Ohio at 10PMET) and then Oral Roberts with a 101 RPI not getting a TV game

                                looking forward to both of our matchups. canaan is a good scorer. akrons big man is 7-0 and leads the country in FG%. Bjorklund is 2nd.

                                btw theres no shot any of us get an at large berth
