High Point coach Flynn Clayman after beating Wisconsin:
"It looks obvious high-majors need to play mid-majors during the season. They said we didn't play nobody. … Nobody would play us, just like they wouldn't play Miami (Ohio). But they have to play us in this tournament."
I just woke up my daughter (2yo) to tell her Miami went 31-0 in regular season.
Rubbing her eyes, she said, “Daddy, there’s no way the selection committee can keep them out of the tournament; that would be malpractice.”
Hugging her, I started crying. They grow up so fast.
@coachbrucepearl u are flat out wrong about @MiamiOH_BBall when u say we would finish last in the Big East. The disrespect is awful and u should not be near a TV studio covering this sport when u show your true colors! Even slipped in a "we" when talking about Auburn, nice work!
I can’t even begin to express how tired the “they haven’t played anyone” narrative is. I can’t argue that they’ve played some grueling schedule, I’m not ignoring the obvious. But they’ve played and won 11 true road games.
If being undefeated is so easy, you really have to wonder why other teams at the MAC and similar levels haven’t cracked this cheat code. Clearly anyone can do it, right? Total nonsense.
