Villanova barely beat Robert Morris in overtime, and Temple lost to Cornell. So Villanova still has a shot at the national title, and Temple doesn't.
If Temple played Robert Morris, they would've blown them out. If Villanova played Cornell, they probably would've lost (judging by the Robert Morris result).
Had Temple been a 3 seed in its own bracket, they would've handled Montana better than New Mexico did. If Villanova was a 3 or 4 in their own bracket, the result likely would've been the same.
The NCAA was wrong, but what's done is done, and you have to beat the opponent you're presented with. Villanova did; Temple didn't. Let's see what happens next year.

When Temple lost I SWEAR I heard your Dad cry. I was rooting for them though.
ReplyDeleteAt least Villanova's gone now, too. What a weird opening weekend this tournament has had so far.
