I'll judge a 20 win season as a good show the program is in good hands but when do we see it?

the team that wins 18 games.

that was a very easy question.

I agreed. I take wins over excitement every day of the week. Then again, I've always been one of those substance-over-style guys.


What if you had a team of lazy 5 star guys that won 18 or a bunch of scrappy athletic 2 star that won 15. Neither team is winning the tourney so who gives a crap, why not enjoy the 15 wins then get frustrated at the 18 wins. Everyone here is still pissed at the Nova game.

18 wins won't make the tournament in a 96 team field?

So, to be clear, 15 wins is better than 18 wins?

Did I miss the official announcement that they moved to 96 teams? For now I am working from what is in place today. That said with 96 teams 15 wins makes the tourney so I would revise to say 15 or 18 who gives a shit because you are in either way and I'd rather watch a team that plays hard.

No what I said was a team that hustles is preferred to a lazy team. The choice offered was a 15 win team that played hard or an 18 win team that was lazy. Given those two choices I would take the former. No need to try to twist words. I think I was pretty clear.

Is that clearer for you? 15 wins by a team that hustles is better than 18 wins by a lazy team provided neither team will make the tournament.
