Mas>Cluess

Most games are very close and their head to head record is 3-3 in the last six games. Just Mas has won the most important one the last 2 years.

i just don't see how you get rewarded finishing 6th or 7th in your conference

Clearly better tonight. Extending zone effectively negating threes won the game. Iona has better talent, but Masiello had an excellent game plan. Not knocking Cluess, just giving credit where due.

Gotcha. Mas did have a great game plan tonight.

Easiest way to look at it is to remove conference affiliation from the equation.  Forget about what conference they're in, what the conference record is; none of it matters.  Look at the overall schedule.  Which schedule + results has shown a better chance of winning games they are supposed to win, while also beating other tournament level teams?

How do you even make that comparison?  Arceneaux averages 23 ppg and went 6 games with 30+ points IN A ROW.  Collinsworth is awesome and a triple double machine, but carries in a different way - not via ridiculous video game point totals. 

Would love to see 1 seed Virginia draw  16 Manhattan

MAAC schools usually get better seeds then 16? Usually 13/14? I thought

Maybe a bunch of other bubble teams shit the bed this week and Iona gets in.

Maybe the last 4 in should be saved for mid-major teams that blow it in their conference tournament.

That's what the play in games should be. Not Miami vs Texas etc
