The Number 400

Fail Poll post...lol

The first option is the soonest assuming we are MVC tourney champs

Final 4 win assumes we lost first round of MVC tourney

Getting the 400th win next year can happen in a multiple number of senarios

I don't think there is any reason to pick him to lose for the next 5 games. I'd say our 5th game from now.

If we do drop in St. Louis, I still think he'll get it this season. I do kind of wonder if we will get put in another bracket of death this year.

I was confused by the "2nd round" option at first, as the soonest is the round of 32. I think they're still calling the round of 64 the second round, aren't they?

I believe they are this year, but are going to change the nomenclature next year to restore sanity to the world.

Awesome. I thought I remembered reading that, but couldn't remember when it was to take effect. Yay, sanity!

I agree, Since we will be 4/5 (probably, the way they talk) we will be guaranteed to face a 12/13 in the first round. Of those in bracketology currently, BYU, Colorado St., Murray State and Valpo scare me the most. All the 4/5 teams seem like they would all be very good teams to play against and on a neutral floor it might be difficult to get a good offensive flow against a team like that. I feel that any and all 4/5 matchups are going to be defensive scrums with the victorious team making the fewest atomic bomb turnovers.

If the Shockers can finagle their way up to a 3 seed, I would feel a lot better of their chances of going far in the Big Dance. And getting 3G his 400th win. :)

Ah, my bad. Sorry for the confusions. Thanks for clearing it up Cdizzle!
