      • I think I'm about as nervous about Utah vs KWho on Saturday as I am for any of our games.

        • Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I couldn't find it-- can anyone explain tonight's Depaul / George Washington game? It's credited as being part of the Diamond Head tournament, but it's listed on their site as being a "non-bracketed" game in the tournament. Moreover, they're on the same side of the bracket, so they could easily play again in the second round of the tournament. Was it just an already-scheduled game between the two teams that they're now pretending is part of the tournament? That's the least-strange explanation I can come up with.
          There are nights when I think that Sal Paradise was right.

              Teams can play up to four games in a MTE event. Obviously, this bracket only gives a chance for three games. This was probably set up before the bracket was announced...who knows, maybe after...but it gives each school a chance to play another game. We already have a loaded schedule, but I kinda wish we would have set up a fourth non-bracketed game with either Nebraska or Colorado. A lot of other three-game tournaments do this as well. KU played Rider at AFH prior to Orlando for this exact reason. Ideally, you'd like that fourth game against a team from the other side of the bracket, but even playing a team a second time in a season isn't deplorable. Maybe GW and DePaul were the only willing teams to play a fourth game...obviously so, as those are the only two teams playing a fourth game.

                I can't tell which side of this gif mirrors my emotions with that reply. Probably both, actually. It's sad.

                  That's interesting. And weird. Thanks!

                      I dunno about him, but I'm a bit nervous. It's tough to win at KU. I went over to their board because I'm a glutton for punishment. I saw someone predicted a KU victory by 20 since WSU was able to keep it close. If KU has a lucky day and they do win by 20, I can imagine the chickenhawk lovers out there will be difficult to deal with.

                      I only root for two teams at any given time: The shox and whoever is playing KU. My second team has a tough game coming up this weekend, but I'll be pulling for them.

                      • AZ Shocker, because we really, really, REALLY, REALLY!!!!!!!, REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! want Utah to spank KU until their butts are crimson red.

                          Because I want Utah to win. Convincingly, if possible, so we won't have to hear any crap from the KWho fans for beating a team that beat us.

                          • LOL. Was that enough answers for you all at the same time @AZ Shocker:

                            • I'm rooting for KU so Utah doesn't jump us in the polls.

                              Did I get that right, @Jamar Howard 4 President:? :)

                              • Maybe Utah jumps WSU and KU falls below WSU? That would be a net neutral result, although most of us could agree that we would prefer having Utah be the team in front if we could only be ahead of one of those 2.

                                Throw in all the non-poll related aspects of this game and rooting for Utah becomes a no brainer.
