Why don’t you expand your horizons, depth, and substance. Plenty of us see reality for what it is and are not afraid to confront and address it. Many of us have supported this team probably longer than you and have had a taste of what real winning and accomplishment tastes like. Unfortunately the Mooney experiment has failed. If you continue to be a pom pom fan, I’m more than happy for you.

Thx. I appreciate that. Are you a junior moderator? And who is “we”?
How about SpiderGuyWhoCaresAboutWinningNotCompeting
I have a kid in 5th grade that wasn't born the last time the Spiders were in the NCAAs.
For the money we pay our coach, for the quality of the facilities that is embarrassing
One of many examples the NET is a very inconsistent and unreliable system for determining a teams success... Marquette 16-7 is ranked 4 spots higher than Providence 19-2, and they play in the same league and are 1-1 vs each other.
We moved up two spots the other day without playing, but beating the 102 team at home by 10 was only good enough to move us up one spot to 85. 🙄
I think if we beat them by 80 at Bona, we might move up into the top 60.
Not playing again proves more beneficial than winning, as we moved up two to 83. VCU falls six to 77 after barely beating Duquesne.
uni win @ drake I think made our UNI win now Q2. Ah memories of my trip to cold and windy Waterloo, IA in early December ...

Strong bump up to 84 from 84 after our buzzer beater last night ..

with the NET it's like if you don't beat them by double digits they don't even care. You could have just lost by a basket instead of winning by a basket and it would be the same result.
I'm telling you, we just need to cancel the rest of the season and watch that NET skyrocket like it's done a couple times on off-days already! We might sneak into the at-large convo at 16-8 with a NET in the low 50s!
NET - not a good rating system. As 8 legs indicated it rewards blowouts too much. Hokies last nite pummeled “powerful” Pitt at home and gained 8 spots 51-43. Spides beat a better team than Pitt & gains nothing
I still say it looks at your +/- vs the spread and total points scored and allowed for the season
I don’t think the A10 is getting more than 2 bids, and we’ll be lucky to get 2.
Tournament champion or bust at this point.

I feel we got screwed in 2020, but man ... what seed do you think Dayton would have gotten?
Dayton and SDSU were legit final four contenders. Year of the mid major. Thanks covid.
This had Dayton predicted 1 seed and SDSU predicted 2 seed.

NCAA predictions: Andy Katz's projections for the 2020 tournament field
Here are the latest 2020 NCAA bracket predictions less than a week away from Selection Sunday, courtesy of NCAA.com's Andy Katz.
www.ncaa.com
We needed to win an A10 game likely to get in. Dayton and SDSU had once in a lifetime seasons going on.
Dayton would have been a 1 seed, unless they lost early in the A-10 tourney and given that they were 18-0, that was probably pretty doubtful.
I know we had a good chance this year but I think of the team Dayton had and they had a legit Final 4, National Championship caliber squad. That is a once in a lifetime team.
Our best road win of the year just lost to Samford, so there’s that.
Dayton fans will likely be bitter about that for many many years. Best team they ever had and a legit NC contender.

So Mason beating us didn't even move the needle for them at all? This system is all kinds of messed up.
We were a Q3 win in OT for them...not a needle-mover.
