garyp Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Well with this loss on the road I think they will need to win the conference tourney to make the big dance. Thought they would have a great chance for an at large bid if they won their last two games. Just dont see it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still pretty good considering where this program was two years ago. At least let's win Saturday vs. Kent and secure a bye in the MAC tourney. I wonder if UB will make on ESPN again?

PromoTheRobot Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 UB plays Akron Saturday. Ohio play Kent State. Miami-Ohio plays Marshall. There could be a 4-way tie for 2nd place. Any idea what the tiebreakers are? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its only real shh Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 nah its not NIT here we come, they still have a shot at the ncaa's even before the MAC tournament. an espn bracketologist said last week if they win 1 out of their last 2 regular season games their (in his opinion) in the tourney.

Go Bulls! 260013[/snapback] In reality, unless nearly every conference tourney is won by a "lock", the Bulls have no shot. The commitee has already stated both that the RPI has changed AND it will be relying less upon it this year. UB's high RPI will not save them since there is no way they can be defended as being "better" or "more deserving" than teams like Georgia Tech, Texas, Notre Dame, and UCLA (although I could at least listen to that one). Even fellow MAC member Akron has a better resume than the Bulls (higher RPI, better conference record, 6-5 vs. the RPI top 100 [uB is 4-8], head-to-head victory). In short, even a victory against Akron and a run to the MAC finals LIKELY wont be enough for the Bulls. There are too many mid-majors with strong RPIs this year compared to normal. In the end, the Bulls don't belong anyway. They are a good team, and definately NIT worthy, but not one of the top 30-40 teams in the country.

Anything short of that would be hoping for an at large which I agree is highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
