OT NCAA Basketball discussion

[Bearcat Rob]

Jeff, I would like to thank you for lifting my ban. I will be the first person to admit wrong and what I said was wrong.

NTS I am sorry for the inappropriate language towards you. I just don't understand why you chose to literally comment on every single one of my post and try to make a point that I am wrong. I could say the sky is blue and you would probably try to prove its not. I def. had enough of it and took it as blatant disrespect. But once again, I do apologize.

JumpingJack5 and #Bearcat nation thanks for the kind words and sticking up for my side, I appreciate that. I do respect all you guys and glad I am back.

Glad to have u back man

Here's the issue from my viewpoint. People get called Trolls, Like B_NTS who aren't. He simply takes a less emotional view of the program. That doesn't mean he isn't a big UC fan. I know he is and I like what he contributes even though him and I have had our differences.

I wanted to send a message to UCALUM08 (and others) that it is never acceptable to use foul langauge toward another poster. If you let someone under your skin that is partially on you but it cannot spiral to a personal attack and cussing at someone. I have lifted UCALUM08's ban because he has been a good member and I think he is intelligent enough to know why I did what I did and believe it won't happen again.

Lastly, there are a myriad of personalities to deal with on here and it isn't always easy to determine when someone has crossed the line. Yes some people stir the pot, but some are simply thin skinned. I will always draw the line at vulgar personal attacks even when I let some other things go. I do this simply as a volunteer so if someone wants to take over let the other mods know and if they feel you can do it better so be it.

jeff you do a good job. Thanks for your contributions. Glad you removed the ban.

Should have been a permanent ban but it is good to have more Bearcat fans around...

Sorry Jeff, one more thing.

It's just the way certain things are worded. Ending a sentence with an ellipsis can really aggravate some people, even when your tone wouldnt dictate as much.

Hmm, I kinda see your point cataclysmo

x2. NOW BACK TO BASKETBALL, WAHOO!

I posted this on Twitter earlier. Blind resume, who do you take? One team is kinda easy to tell who it is (maybe).

Team A: 22-9, RPI 39, SOS 55, 8-6 vs Top 100, 9-1 last 10
Team B: 20-11, RPI 48, SOS 36, 8-8 vs Top 100, 5-5 last 10

I would choose Team A. They have better numbers (except SOS) and have been playing really well of late. Who are these teams? I can't figure them out lol.

My guess would be Xavier & Dayton, and I would choose the Flyers (UD fans have been bragging about the 8 top 100 wins). However it is a false choice because it won't come down to just those two for one spot...

I'm just glad we're not in the bubble talks this year. Feels good to be worried about a 2 or 3 or 4 seed.

I really hope Dayton gets in and Xavier doesn't.

It would serve Xavier fans right for looking down on Dayton and trashing the A-10 on their way out (which will likely get more tournaments than the Big East).

My dream is a Final Four and X/UK BOTH in the NIT.

Pretty sure it's this type of passive aggressive comments that irk people on here. Normally the content of your posts is solid but when you make statements like this people will start ignoring your content. Which I really don't want to happen given we both use numbers similarly and I end up grouped in with you more often than not.

Haha, yes! What about a UC vs. Wichita St. finals? I
That way, even if we lose, it would be cool to see an undefeated team. Again, this is a dream scenario.

 

[UCalum08]

I didn't want to start a whole new thread on this but I was just thinking about SK's career. One of the biggest changes I have notice this year is his strength and conditioning. I wish the Bearcat weekly show would have done a segment on what SK does to stay in prime shape.

The first picture is when SK when we played Marquette.
The second picture is this year.

I mean he has transformed his body into solid muscle. I believe this has really helped him this year.

Nebraska takes down Wisconsin at home and ends the season earning a double bye in the conference tournament. With wins over Ohio State, Wisconsin, @Michigan State and fellow bubble team Minnesota, I think they are very good shape to make the NCAA tournament a year ahead of schedule. Hard to leave out 19-11 with 11 B1G wins, #41 in the RPI with the 27th ranked SOS, and with the double bye they likely avoid a chance for a bad loss.

Nebraska def deserves to be in. They have been playing at a high level for the past month. That was a fun game to watch. I think the Big East bubble took a hit with that Nebraska win.

No thanks. If this happens, win or lose, the entire talk will be about Wichita St. If this teams wins the whole thing, I want guys like SK, JJ and TR to be front and center nationally.
