Chisoxfn Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 05:45 AM) So has talent out west just dried up, or are players leaving and going elsewhere for some reason (more money, better facilities, schools too focused on football?) I think you just had some issues happen. UCLA has had its problem with Howland handling some of its stars. Arizona lost Lute (and lost a lot of talent off last years team that made a team run). Washington is usually pretty strong but has some issues. Stanford has had to transition after losing Mike Montgomery (who was a machine at getting his team into the tourney's). USC was hit with some issues and had to rebuild (OJ Mayo/Tim Floyd stuff). I won't be surprised when it is back to being one of the premiere basketball conferences (which for a period of time, it was a hell of a basketball conference).

Rowand44 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Temple probably just dropped themselves a seed line. Not a bad loss at all but never looks good to lose your first tourney game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenryan Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 9, 2012 -> 05:18 PM) NC State probably just got themselves in. They sure celebrated like they clinched a spot. But they probably got themselves a flight to Dayton for early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said Missouri was ranked 8 because of their non-conference schedule. Top teams shouldn't be evaluated on the bad teams they beat. It's clear Missouri is a top tier team, they should be judged on the good teams they beat. Record vs. RPI top 50 Syracuse 11-2 Kentucky 9-2 Missouri 11-3 Kansas 11-5 Michigan State 10-5 Ohio State 9-5 North Carolina 8-5 Duke 7-5 Missouri has the most top 50 wins and only Kansas and Michigan State played more games against the top 50, yet Missouri's schedule is the one that comes into question. It's pretty insignificant in the long run, but it's a joke that they rate Missouri 8 on that list because they beat more teams outside the top 200 instead of beating some 100-200 teams in the non-conference.
