Ohiobucks Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 And the Buckeyes are gonna walk all over the NIT! We're #66!! :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 oops, forgot.....Florida and Ohio State Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 So this is basically for the "left-overs"??? Yup, the at-large snubs, which includes Ohio State. Funny, last year Florida and Ohio State are in the final for the Big Dance, this year, they don't even make the tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckbuster11 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 The NCAA tournament is not comprised of the 65 best teams in college basketball. Maybe the top 30 or 40 get in, but the rest of the tournament is made up of a bunch of no name garbage teams that won some conference you have never heard of....and they get an automatic bid because of it. For example, Florida and Ohio State did not get in yet Oral Roberts, Mount St. Mary's and Portland State got in. Think any of those latter 3 would stand a chance against Florida or Ohio State? Not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Well they lost all their good players...they'll be back. You are correct. FLorida has a very good young team. Will definitely make some noise next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close. Thats what I like about the NCAA tourny. It rewards those smaller schools from small conferences and at least gives them a chance TRY and win it.

buckbuster11 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thank you Captain Obvious..... Sorry Andrea. I didn't mean to help answer your question accurately and intelligently. Tom=DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Sorry Andrea. I didn't mean to help answer your question accurately and intelligently. Tom=DB. Sorry John, I took your original post as a jab against Ohio State..... Even though your spot on with your answer, OSU could very well be #66 in the nation..... Is it Pryor season, I mean football season yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
