Who was that other guy about five years ago that initially committed to UC Davis but switched to a powerhouse basketball team after his summer basketball team won the "peaches" tournament?
I generally don't get too bothered by fouls, but this is probably the first game I can recall of any sports where the technical fouls really bothered me primarily because there was no explanation, and the sports commentators didn't talk about the reason.
I thought UCD had to play against Nevada and the referees in this game.
Considering that there is only one top 100 team, #71 UC irvine, in the Massey ratings, and Mid-Major teams that are ranked as high as the mid-twenties have been rejected historically, a second NCAA invitation looks like pipe dream.
This has been brought up in one of the Big West discussion threads, and it's known here too, but why can't Coach Les consistently recruit decent front men to compete against the top teams in the Big West?
I'm confused in the meaning of "walk-on" in NCAAB. Connor Sevilla committed to the UC Davis basketball team, but he's a "walk-on" according to the Verbal Commits webpage. I guess this means that "committed" is not necessarily a scholarship player? I did not know one has to announce "committed" for being a "walk-on."
I remembered that the Montanas always seem to have six home games and five away games, while most other FCS teams have five home games and six away games. I haven't checked their schedule lately, but I presume it still holds true.
I liked that US News Reports eliminated the "alumni giving" and "class size" criteria, since I always thought those two criteria were ridiculous in my eyes.
I was thinking that way too, and I think it's sort of a consensus that the mid-majors are sort of the minor leagues. However, all of these upsets in March Madness makes me wonder if the transfer portal may have the opposite effect. I don't think so, but I like to see more future data points to see a trend.
What are the chances for the Aggies making it in the other tourneys - NIT, CIT, and CBI? I don't think the Ags will be in the NIT. I just don't know the criteria for CIT and CBI.
