Bracket Discussion

[Stonewall D]

There is a lot of love for NDSU.

 

[spiderstudent17]

We are the 7th seed.

 

[spiderstudent17]

Not sure how JMU is 5 and we are 7, but I'll take that first round bye!

 

[I-M-UR]

How in the hell did JMU get seeded ahead of us?

 

[SpiderFan26]

Who cares. Better Illinois at than NDSU

 

[ur2K]

Jmu being seeded higher is stupid. Either way we get a bye. Hopefully our draw is better

JMU had college gameday. They are going to get a bump. NCAA does these things with every bracket that has TV associated with it.

 

[urfan1]

congrats to UNH for making the field again -- impressive program. the way things are lining up we may the the Tribe again in 2 weeks

 

[TD4Prez2004]

Decent chance we get W&M again?

 

[MidloTrader]

Well, at least New Hampshire isn't on our side of the bracket! They're always dangerous and like kryptonite to us. JMU's defense isn't good, which will hurt them even more in playoffs.

 

[RCSGA]

If we play W&M that would bump us up over Wisconsin-Minnesota from a tie for 4th most played rivalry to by ourselves..

 

[Stonewall D]

Good matchup. I expect to see W&M again. Great matchup.

 

[I-M-UR]

I know they like to reduce travel time but this is ridicules Two CAA teams will be eliminated in the second round. BS The conferences need to be mixed up to compare strength of conference.

 

[ur2K]

We are going to get the tribe again on Dec 5. Good thing we own them

 

[urfan1]

I like our match up also, chance to beat the Tribe 2 x's in a season --- great news. especially with a week off

 

[DTSpider]

12/5 @ 1pm. Most likely W&M. Love it!

 

[Stonewall D]

I am not sure Cluley can survive another game vs. UR.

 

[MidloTrader]

Can be advantage when coaches don't have to scout 2 teams you don't know. They can get up to speed on Dukes and be ready to put in a great game plan after next Sat no matter who we play.

 

[Stonewall D]

JMU does not deserve an 8 seed.

 

[Stonewall D]

The advantage in our bracket is with us.

 

[paward]

Good chance to make the W&M record 60 wins, 61 loses and 5 ties. In a perfect world we could meet Umach in the championship game.

[Stonewall D]

The advantage in our bracket is with us.

 

[WebSpinner]

personally, don't like playing the indians again right away. laycock will change it up on us, we had better be ready to adjust and who the heck knows, duquesne could win, upsets happen.

 

[Stonewall D]

Wow, they are replaying college game day at JMU. Oh brother.

 

[Stonewall D]

It is hard to beat them 1 year in a row. Much less twice in a season.

 

[urfan1]

very little mention of Richmond thus far, should add to the "chip" factor. We're the AQ and no link to call DR yet -- what's up with that?

 

[paward]

If we move on we have to win. Next team up does not matter. We won it all going through top seeds. We have a better draw this time. I am ready so is the team.

 

[wr70beh]

Expect more W&M fans in 2 weeks. Even more than yesterday.

 

[Ferrum Spider]

It is hard to beat them 1 year in a row. Much less twice in a season.

Completely agree and don't like that the selection committee paired the CAA schools in the same tripod. One thing we'll have going for us is the bye which will help immensely. Looks like another double header dec 5th!

 

[MidloTrader]

Least they could have done is add to that game day clip and say Corso and ALL their analysts were wrong in their prediction . . . Spiders won! But I never expect media to give us respect . . . we just need to take care of our business and make them have to come to us.

 

[Spider B]

I love the matchup with w&m. Run it down their throats again. May have SF back also. The bye is huge to get injured guys back for the championship run!

 

[I-M-UR]

They need to make sure nobodys first playoff game is against a conference team they'd played already. CAA team sould have been paired with Southern, Southland etc. Not eacy other.

 

[MidloTrader]

Hey, if they're going to snub us in this show, can only hope they don't put Withers on the screen. Putting coaches of 2 teams we beat would be a slap for sure. Our SID needs to do better on getting media exposure. Only top 8 seeds should ever be interviewed, not coaches like Coastal Carolina's. That story is getting old. But just shows laziness of ESPN.

 

[Stonewall D]

Towson was one of the last teams out. Good showing for the CAA. New Hampshire was one of the last teams in.

 

[wr70beh]

They interviewed Laycock, too. I'd rather hear him than whoever Barneyville is putting out there.

 

[urfan1]

Said the 5 Mo Valley teams in "bottom half" bracket -- at least the potential is still there for an all CAA

 

[urfan1]

missed the last 4 out =-- who were they

 

[MidloTrader]

I love the matchup with w&m. Run it down their throats again. May have SF back also. The bye is huge to get injured guys back for the championship run!

Agree, B. Getting bye is huge for ALL our guys to get refreshed and ready for this second season stretch. If it is Tribe, getting pressure again on Cluley, Jacobi simply doing his thing, and O being efficient and no TOs, we'll prevail.
