Crimson Red Sports

I think it is safe bet that we will not make the NCAA field of 68 teams. I do think we are a solid NIT team. I think we will even get a first round home game.

The link below is to NIT Bracketology produced by NYC Buckets. They have us as a three (3) seed. In this scenario we will host Ohio State in the first round.

An Ohio State/Alabama game would be very interesting, if it happens.

OSU and Alabama would only happen in the Championship for that area wouldn't it? RTR!

NIT selection show on ESPNU at 7:30 pm CST

Bama in T-town against Richmond.

Ohio State did NOT make the NIT. Wow!



 :o

 :lol: :lol: boy bet they go to whining. RTR!

If we get by Richmond we most likely get a re-match with Clemson. They beat us in Tuscaloosa early in the season.

We play Tuesday at 8:15.

We will be on ESPN2 @ 8:15 pm on Tuesday. Some interesting match-ups:

Indiana/Ga. Tech
UGA/Belmont
Ole Miss/Monmouth

There must be a mistake in the bracket.  I see powerhouses like UNCG (whoever that is), UC Irvine, South Dakota, and CSU Bakersfield (whoever that is), but I can't find Awbren on there anywhere.  :dunno:

During the Kentucky game Saturday Dick Vitale kept rambling on and on about how Bruce Pearl would get the job done at Auburn, just give him 3 or 4 years to turn things around.  Well, maybe someone should have slipped ol' diaper dandy a note to tell him this latest Awbren masterpiece was year 3 for Pearl.  :lol2:

They were not even on the NIT bubble.  :lol3:

Some of these teams are automatic qualifiers for the NIT by virtue of being regular season champs of their conference but failing to win their conference tournament.

Bama is in a decent bracket, but would face Clemson in the second round @ Clemson, and red hot Iowa is No. 1 seed in that bracket.

Bruce Pearl's earlier statement showed a total lack of class.  Hey Bruce, wait until after the NIT selection before you try and bolster your loser team.

A loser coach with a loser team, living in a loser town. Sometimes life is good.  8)

If BAMA continues their level of play from the SEC tournament into the NIT they should do well.


One caveat:

Free throws.

Got to make free throws.

That 6 1/2 minute scoring drought in the second half and missing free throws down the stretch sunk the boat against UK.

I am even more confident in this team now.

The Ark v. UK game was a game in name only.

 

I agree with the above. If we mad FT's against Kentucky we would be in the Big Dance. RTR!

Someone setting up a Bracket Challenge?

We used the CBS Challenge last time. I'm already in under this link. Hopefully, it will take you to the right place.

I thought we used the ESPN site for our brackets. I'm confused.


 :unsure:

I received an e-mail from CBS and when I clicked on it, it was set up for CRS. But thinking back, it may have been ESPN. Pmull will know.

No doubt we have used both CBS and ESPN over the years, as I have IDs and emails from both.  Most recent was ESPN I think.   :unsure:

 ???I think most recent it was ESPN?

The game with Clemson was played in Birmingham and they beat us pretty bad.

I remember.  :(

What is the name of the brackets and passwords or whatever to get into our challenge? RTR!

I don't see a group for us under the CBS brackets. I filled out an individual bracket.



 :dunno:

Found a group site on ESPN but need group code.




 ???

Where is pmull?  :dunno:

Well ESPN let me sign in on the bracket and group created from last year. So I am ready on ESPN. Thanks pmull from last year. RTR!
