It's not debatable; UNM was not a bubble team when Utah beat it, which is what Il Padrino said. So, why don't you stop arguing to the contrary, even while conceding my point? You are the one who's been the name caller from the start, even while arguing a point that you yourself concede without realzing it.

    Go ahead and cling to your delusion, but the MWC will not send five teams to the NCAA tournament this year. Likely not more than two.
    Even after losing to you losers there's one brave bracketologist that has them in the dance. http://bracketproject.50webs.com/matrix.htm Your idea that a loss to a bubble team would automatically knock them off the bubble further betrays your ignorance of how this all works. But since I actually don't care about the topic I'll let you have the last word.

    It is quite interesting to note the excuses you find to attack my character. Perhaps you harbor some bitterness from previous exchanges? Or maybe you're just that sensitive about your status as a laughing stock on this board when it comes to sports discussion?

                Love the win, love to see Foster do well, love Clyburn. Don't love the Keystone Kops style.

                    Now you've really made yoursel look like a fool. Thank you. I don't care what one bracket says. Get this trough your thick head: NO 5-7 MWC TEAM, NO .500 MWC TEAM IS GOING TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. It's never happened, it never will. NEVER. GUESS WHAT, I DIDN'T HAVE TO CONSULT ANY BRACKETS TO KNOW THIS, and I bet the entire board agrees with me.

                    Have you ever noticed how stupid you always sound when you try to talk about anything except maybe sometimes evolution, like LDS theology, history, or literature? You are injuring your credibility in your supposed field as well.
                    When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

                            Including me. If I were arguing that New Mexico is going to the NCAA tournament, or even currently on the bubble, you'd have a point. Do try to keep up. I feel like I'm teaching pre-school.

                                    lol you started it. The difference between you and me is I don't carry on a pretense that I know stuff I don't. I do, however, know enough to know that New Mexico was most emphatically not a bubble team when utah beat it, contrary to Il padrino's statement and your belief.

                                        Okay, I'm going to write it slow for you this time, and limit my post to this one concept so you can grasp it: NEW MEXICO WAS NOT A BUBBLE TEAM WHEN UTAH BEAT IT.

                                        (All you have cited to the contrary are brackets extant the game before the game preceding Utah game, which New Mexico lost, except for this one errant bracket you dug up that still has a 5-7 MWC team on the bubble. You have effectivley conceded my point.)

                                        Comprende?

                                            I hope that someone who had never seen a basketball game before received their introduction with this game.

All ad hominem and insistence that you are right by fiat, without submitting a single relevant fact. I'm sure your clients love your work.

                                                    New Mexico in fifth place and 5-6 in the MWC when Utah played it not a relevant fact? That's all the facts I need. Your "relevant facts": outdated secondary sources; stale bracketology BS.
