AJ's Future

Re: AJ's Future

You might be right on your final point, but it is impossible to prove, and you are being speculative based on your opinions. Nothing crazy about that. But can you also respect, without condescending with "keeping it simple" slights, that one can build a sane hypothesis that there is at least as much and probably more tangible support for the idea that the Jacks were on the bubble out of the Summit http://espn.go.com/womens-college-ba...l/bracketology than would support your speculative "they would have gotten an at-large" bid out of the Big 10? However you take your Creme?

The facts we do know are that the Jacks have been to the Big Dance four of the last five years out of the Summit, and Minnesota has not been there since '09 out of the Big 10, despite being "on the bubble" in some estimates at some time this year. You say the reason is because Minnesota has had a bad coach. That's your opinion, and one can approach quantification on that only by what happens in the next couple of years at Minnesota.

Using Creme's picks of "first outs" for the at-large to the NCAA, did a good job on picking the WNIT final 8. Rutgers wins WNIT. SDSU & Bowling Green in final 4, So. Fl to elite 8, MN to 16. SDSU knocked out 2 of the 8 id'ed as first out. Jacks were about two additional W's (early Creighton & UALR or FGCU?) from making at-large dancing moves. Hope next year's schedule has the challenges that this 13-14 season had for OOC, and that our conference mates pick up their OOC schedules, and wins. It'd be good if league low team is better than 200 RPI.

Totally agree with this, Rabid
