Can't argue with that, but the same is true for any coach

Sure

I stand corrected.

Aren't those actual victories not moral ones?

You're not actually in the tournament with the play-in game.

newey-west

3/5/15 8:46am

How is a game defined as "the first round" not considered "in the tournament"?

byubyu

3/5/15 8:51am

It's a "play in" game. You're playing to get into the tournament.

newey-west

3/5/15 8:54am

Wrong. It's called First Four, second round, third round, sweet 16. elite 8,

Regardless of the label--it's a play-in game. You're playing to get IN to the

Why is it called a play-in game?

newey-west

3/5/15 9:00am

Its not

concolor couguar

If you would have cited this, then I would have believed you:

newey-west

3/5/15 9:03am

You should have known that when BYU played Iona

3/5/15 10:22am

What's the laughy face for?

3/5/15 11:24am

They're play-in games, you had it right. They're playing-in to the field of 64

palangi

3/5/15 11:38am

Well by that definition every single game is a play in game

3/5/15 2:42pm

I disagree. They're playing-in to the bracket, playing-in to the Big Dance

palangi

3/5/15 4:18pm

You are talking semantics

3/5/15 4:41pm

Technically it is called the first round of the tournament

concolor couguar

3/5/15 8:53am

I'm talking about winning the play-in game and then losing

newey-west

3/5/15 8:55am

So explain how that is a moral victory

concolor couguar

3/5/15 8:56am

You lose your tournament game, but you win a quasi-tournament game

RE: You lose your tournament game, but you win a quasi-tournament game

concolor couguar

3/5/15 9:00am

Exactly

newey-west

3/5/15 9:01am

You are trolling

concolor couguar

3/5/15 9:01am

They are technically called "first round" games now.

The NCAA is talking out of both sides of its mouth with this

CoopDizz

Agreed--I'll admit--I was wrong on the label. (as mentioned above)

newey-west

3/5/15 9:08am

The NCAA is not talking out of both sides.

3/5/15 10:26am

wrong, mathematically to make it work, you give the top 8 teams 1st round bye's

palangi

3/5/15 12:01pm

meant to put this under PolarisPrime just above

palangi

3/5/15 12:02pm

Wow, not even close. That leaves 38 teams in the second round.

CoopDizz

3/5/15 12:16pm

yeah my bad, regardless the NCAA is still talking out of both sides of their

palangi

3/5/15 12:54pm

You are correct about the first round bye bit

3/5/15 2:43pm

Oh goody. I guess this means that BYU doesn't have to count the consolation

3/5/15 9:17am

Note to everyone: I was wrong and stupid for trying to parse wins and losses.

newey-west

3/5/15 9:22am

It counts as a game played for purposes of distributing money to the conferences

scott715

3/5/15 10:49am

not much, the big payday comes from the share you get for being in the round 64

palangi

3/5/15 1:01pm

The games "count" for history and money and stuff, but everyone knows they...
