Should the NCAA Tournament be expanded?

We can see some obvious issues with the current tournament selection system. Why not simply allow more teams into the field? Does Grand Canyon really deserve to be in the tournament while Vanderbilt and Clemson do not? Why just 68 teams with the two play in games? Is there something so very special ...

Re: NCAA Tourney/Selection Thread

So this morning teamrankings.com does indeed have Vandy listed as a 10-seed with a 97% probability of being in the NCAA Tournament, as pointed out above. They rank Vandy as #40 which seems way more appropriate than the ridiculous 79 the net came up with, imho. At a 97% probability if Vandy is not pi...

Re: NCAA Tourney/Selection Thread

The NET is an interesting ranking system.

Teamrankings.com shows Vandy with a 95% chance of being in.

https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-tourn ... cketology/

They have MSU with only a 47% chance.

Kudos to them for being the first bracketology site to actually credit Vandy for what they have accomplished.

Vanderbilt is now 6 and 5 vs Kentucky in the Sec Tournament all time!

I got hassled today by a couple of Kentucky fans as I got out of my car wearing my Vandy shirt while going to my local grocery store. They let me know how little respect they had for the Dores.

I just want to say that, "He who laughs last, laughs best!"

Re: Georgia or LSU?

LSU has only won one game since the calendar turned to 2023. That was against Vandy who was in the middle of winning 8 out of 9 against better opponents. Go figure! Meanwhile, Georgia has lost five in a row down the stretch since beating LSU 65-63 on Valentine's Day. The odds makers have LSU as a 2 ...

Teamrankings.com rates the percentage of chances to make the tourney. They have given Vandy a 66% chance of making it in as an 11- seed. They give MSU only a 29% chance and they don't have them in currently.

One more win could do it.

You would think that losing your star player should spell doom for these guys now except for the fact that they beat KY in Rupp anyway without him!

Re: On the subject of Vandy vs UK it was on this date in 1974 that Vandy

It was Jeff Fosnes with the last second 25' shot to give us the 71-69 win in Memorial in 1974 as I recall!
