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

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.

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

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

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

Regardless of your explanations, you're wrong.

Why is it called a play-in game?
newey-west

Its not

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

You should have known that when BYU played Iona

What's the laughy face for?

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

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

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

Exactly

You are trolling

They are technically called "first round" games now.

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

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.
PolarisPrime
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
PolarisPrime
3/5/15 2:43pm
Oh goody. I guess this means that BYU doesn't have to count the consolation

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

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

3/5/15 10:49am
not much, the big payday comes from the share you get for being in the round 64
palangi

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