From 1946 until 1981, the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship featured a consolation third-place game. Virginia beat LSU, 78-74, for the bronze in the last consolation offered...
Yep, I said that! I’m sick and tired of pitiful ass performances in March and let’s not mention April! Done with the underachieving BS that comes with Cal. Cmon home Rick!!!!
This discussion came up on another thread but I felt it was worthy of a new thread for the sake of clarity and understanding.
Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that the NCAA requires any team that receives a big to the Big Dance to accept that bid. No team may decline that bid in order to play in the NIT or any other post-season tournament.
This rule does not require a team to accept a bid to the NIT and that is why we see a team like UNC decline the invitation. Apparently, there is some incorrect information floating around the internet about this issue.
Duke just won their conference tournament and is likely to get a 3 seed. How is this possible? They lost their HOF coach this year. I’m told that we would plummet to the bottom of CBB if Cal left.
Lol. He’s one guy. We have a team of guys who remember Hopkins. Imo this is extra motivation for those guys to show up round 1. I hopkins gonna inspire his team with cal stories? I don’t think so. The motivation is edge goes to UK. Cal doesn’t want to lose to Hopkins, the team doesn’t want to lose to Hopkins. Hopkins is one guy. I also think the BE is way overrated.
