    Re: New Basketball Tournament

    I read somewhere else where they did a mock bracket of what it would liked last year, and Northern Iowa and Akron were included, so I don't think it would be all BCS teams for this tournament. At least I hope not.

    I have mixed feelings on this. I love college basketball, and I would rather have ISU, UNI, or Central Michigan playing in some sort of tournament rather than no tournament at all, but I don't necessarily want to turn these postseason events into the equivalent of the the over-saturated bowl system.

    i agree. i think a new tourny is a bad idea. it would be just like adding more bowl games. all it would do is give teams a chance to play in a post season when they didnt do anything to earn one. thats what makes bowl games and the NCAA tourny fun. i mean come on, who here really wants to see iowa make it to a bowl game this year? did they earn a bowl game? NO! they should be sitting at home.
    There are not many crowds or places in the country that have a better impact on the game than at Iowa State. The Cyclone fans are truly a sixth man. The place is so loud and always a fantastic crowd." - Former Kansas and current North Carolina head coach Roy Williams

    Still a chance KSU, IOwa and Colorado could be bowl teams.
    Looking forward to CFH magic for the next bball season, Georges style.

    Re: New Basketball Tournament

    With what the NIT was bought out for anyone think this group is looking at doing this for a couple of years and trying to get a similar buyout? If they raise the same antitrust stink that the NIT committee don't be surprised if the NCAA throws some money at them to get them to go away.

    Re: A 3rd postseason tournament

    Knownothing, I believe the term you are looking for is "March situation"... if Alford were still coaching Iowa this would provide them with more chances for a "March situation" and that can't be a bad thing. Maybe if they had this a few years ago Alford would have stuck around and we'd all be happy.
    have you ever got caught outside In a strong rainfall? Yes or NO. If it"s yes, then you might half felt the pane of hard(tought) rain on you head. If it hurt"s then it"s tough. Yes or no. Okay I'm right and you know it.

    So alothough you attempt"ed to say you didn"t understnad, now you do. Fair enough?
