And yes it's unlikely that we both finish with a win over SMU (us) and Cincinnati (uconn). But crazy things happen in college hoops.
Umm...can't you read my three posts above?

So, as the 5 we get a 1st Round bye and then play UCF in Round 2. Then likely meet SMU in the Semis if we get past the Knights...
As the 6 we would play USF in Round 1 and then play Houston in Round 2. Likely meet Cincy in the Semis if we got that far.
...almost rather have the 6

Well the six seed would be a no brainer if it wasn't for extra game and it seems we can't blow anyone out without playing starters 35 or so minutes; that would mean 4 guys playing 140 minutes from Thursday night thru early Sunday afternoon. Lot of PT.

he's a rookie who tries hard-give him a break. Paper ain't what it used to be. We had Lapides (great writer), Woody Paige, Mike DeCourcey, Dan Wolken covering Tigers.
He's not a rookie, Mr. 99%.
His last job was covering high school sports.
He's 30 and has covered University of Virginia and Va Tech. Give it up.

I don't give a bull shite about the fricking NIT and the players don't either.
We don't care whether you want the NIT or not. Players? I bet some do. Some look like they haven't cared in weeks. Pretty sure the staff would welcome the NIT.
That will cut into Tubby's nap time.
Just like he was recently quoted: "I'm still getting paid. I'm fine."
A bit of ageism and quoting out of context, but if that floats your boat

For someone who is in the top 1%, you have a hard time with facts. You said he's a "ROOKIE". Doesn't matter what his last job was, he's not a rookie. He's covered 2 colleges.
Just turtle up, already.
