NCAAT typically has it outlined for contingencies from Sunday conference tournament finals.

Yup exactly, most of the field is decided headed into that weekend, seeding is mainly what changes.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Here we go with your spin bs


"There is no set number" is easily interpreted

Here you go with the typical Bruin BS

That's your problem, and always has been in our talks, instead of asking for clarification or what it means you interpret it however you want and run with it.

Lol

There is only one way to interpret:

"There is no set number"

Yea, that the number is not set at 30, as evidenced by some teams playing 31 games...pretty simple really :crazy:

Sometimes they have situations with bad teams playing in conference finals. Wade Houston did that one year. Nearly got TN into the NCAAT with a losing record.

Hmmmm

So you meant to say the set number is either 30 or 31.

A far far cry from "no set number"

Right, typically they have those contingencies in place.

No, I meant to say what I said, I'm sorry you were unable to comprehend that. This is my last post on the topic, you're cluttering another thread with your BS all because you assumed (incorrectly as usual), that Tennessee played the same number of games as they did last year.

Moving on.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

They might allow 31 if there was only one exhibition game. Sometimes programs shut down which could result in FEWER games being scheduled. Sometimes games are cancelled due to weather.

We played the scrimmage in place of that exhibition.

I am almost certain it's about the tourneys. I will find it

 

[BruinVol]

16 wins means 16-15 regular season, that's what I'm referring to, last years team finished 15-15 regular season.

So if we have a total of 16 wins then we are 16-16 overall

Long long long shot to make the tourney and there is zero chance the NIT field is set before the conference tourneys.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

The NCAA allows 27 regular season games plus up to 4 tournament games.

 

[BruinVol]

The NCAA allows 27 regular season games plus up to 4 tournament games.

So one tourney counts 4 games?


Didn't we only play 3 this year?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

The NCAA allows 27 regular season games plus up to 4 tournament games.

You mean there's a 4 game variance? NCAA doesn't require every team to play the exact same number of games every year?

Preposterous!!!!

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

So if a team is in an 8 team tourney they probably play 30 and 31 if in two 4 team tourneys.

I think the army game was apart of the tourney we played this year

That's where the Extra game came from. Last year we only played 3

I doubt that many teams don't play in any holiday tournaments. Possible, not likely.

Right, the number of games can vary from season to season, 'nuff said.

He's just trying his hardest to justify his

"There is no set limit"
Post.

Clearly there is a set limit.

27-31 is the set limit with power 5 teams playing either 30-31

It's now a grey area on what is a tourney. Been seeing those games that are considered part of a tournament, but it's been predetermined which teams will advance. Probably related to TV rights.

Yep it's a way to get that 31st game played

I would like to see the breakdown but i guessing most teams play 31 and not 30

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I would think that every team with a chance at making the NCAAT will participate in at least one 4 team tourney. So they'll all probably play 29, 30, or 31 games. Under funded small schools might only play 27.

I don't recall teams playing in more than one tourney. I think they get all 4 in one tourney

You see anything about that where you found the rule?

I know there is something about the fundraising games but not sure exactly what that means

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I wonder if the SEC versus Big 12 Challenge qualifies as a "tournament".

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

In 2009-10 TN played three in the Paradise Jam plus MTSU in the Sun Belt Classic in Nashville.

30 games before the SECT though. The Sun Belt Classic was probably not a "tournament".
