Tyson Patterson, Cedrick Holmes and McMahon graduated and Rufus passed away. The cupboard was bare when Buzz left. Back up point guard, Fritts, also graduated. Dean Smith would have been .500 with the remaining players./\PP ST/\TE GRAD 09 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 9:32 amKind of funny Fancher couldn't initially win with the players Buzz left him, then Buzz comes back and makes it to the conference final with the players Fancher left him.
Then of course we have the what ifs...Could Fancher have even made it to the conference final that season? Could he have coached a better game against Wofford to maybe have punched a ticket to the dance? Could Fancher still coaching that year have prevented the Capel/Fox era?
But to keep things current, I'm happy the basketball team will get another chance to play. In general I'm glad this and the NIT exists. Will it be watched must on t.v., probably not, but it gives the players and students (Especially if hosting) a chance to watch more basketball.
One thing I noticed from the article is...
"Each game of the Basketball Classic will be held on the campus of one of the participating schools. In lieu of a traditional bracket, the field and matchups will be set after each round."
Not sure the criteria they will go by each round they set the matchups, but I'm sure for those that can attend, packing HCC will at least show in that regards we're worthy of hosting a next round game. It also will help the team out.
But would they have had to attend class?NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 4:01 pmTyson Patterson, Cedrick Holmes and McMahon graduated and Rufus passed away.

Probably have a good car rental program from the Mack Brown dealership.I don't know why I did not remember all of that as I was at the Pacific game. I must have been thinking that was the first round game. Thanks for the correction.app97 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 8:19 pmWe made the semifinals in the CIT in 2010 (when buzz came back for a year). We beat Harvard at home (when they had Jeremy Linn), won at Marshall, and lost to Pacific, who then lost to Missouri State in the championship. We finished 24-13, second most wins behind the 25 that our 2007 NIT team won.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 6:37 pmI nice run here could build some momentum for the program. It could not hurt that is for sure.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 5:54 pmWhat is cool about this, they have a legit chance to win multiple games and potentially win the whole thing. NCAA tourney is an awesome accomplishment but even getting to Sweet 16 for a team in our conference is an extremely tall task.
NCAA is 68 teams though not the top 68 with auto bids but lets go with that. The NIT has 32 teams so that is the top 100 in the NCAA owned tournaments. The CBI has 16 teams. The tourney that App is in has 32 teams so somewhere between 100 and 150 would be the rankings, more or less. I noticed VMI has already accepted a CBI bid.
It would be nice to get the monkey off our back and finally win a post-conference tournament game. 3 NCAA's, 1 NIT, 1 CollegeInsider.com and now this. Time for a W.

Actually, the way this tournament is set up, the proceeds from the game go to the organization that sponsors the tournament. I don't believe there are any upfront expenses with this tournament. That is a change from the past. I don't know if there are other financial considerations. My guess, the more fans you draw, the more you make for the sponsors, the more likely you can host a second round game. I think that is one reason why there has been such an effort for folks to buy/donate tickets for students.festus105 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 9:37 amI think it's great that we received a post season tourney invite... but don't forget... unless something has changed I believe it's a pay to play tourney. Each team that "accepts" an invitation pays an entry fee or at least pays a certain amount to host a home game... maybe both.
In addition to us, Coastal, Wofford, and Portland have posted that they are hosting.
When I donated yesterday morning, the number of "free" tickets for students was at 625.
