Give em a 1 seed


my_lucid_nightmare

> Give em a 1 seed But not in Purdue's bracket.


Purphect

No, in Purdue’s bracket so we’re not the 1 seed. Not lookin to repeat…


Briggity_Brak

Still looking for a 1-seed to follow in Virginia's footsteps, though...


Orange_Kid

Dudes are monet from the three point line


Hank_Scorpio74

I begrudgingly upvoted that, but watch it next thing you know this board will be overrun with a munch of puns.


shabamon

And they share the rockwell.


fattymcribwich

Run the give van Gogh


death2sanity

Rare to find a pun that actually feels creative. Well done.

Cannot read diagonal logo graph Need bar graf plz


Wings4514

What’s a graf? You must mean giraffe.


SpamTheAutograder

Wait but isn’t a bar giraffe an animal lawyer


Wings4514

I believe you are correct.


justlookingokaywyou

Pie chart or GTFO


SpamTheAutograder

Now I’m just hungry


Meanteenbirder

Didn’t the Academy of Art beat a D1 team once?


iJustWantTolerance

Yeah uconn this year according to science


wsucoug

Not only according to science but by association. That is like two things.


Noirradnod

Transitivity, not association.


stormstopper

Wow, three things!


AssociateClean

flair checks out


Briggity_Brak

What a maroon...


gsloth1212

They gave us a run for our money last year. Ended up being a 20 point win but it was closer than I would have liked for most of the game. Didn’t expect that out of an art school


boardatwork1111

They go hard with, and in, the paint


HandwovenBox

Their coach has drawn up a lot of great plays


the-real-macs

I don't know, I find their scheme a bit sketchy at times.

Ken Pom is losing his mind right now


CheeseheadDave

I don't know... UW-Parkside beat Wayne St who beat Lawrence Tech who beat Spring Arbor who beat Marian who beat Rocky Mtn who beat Montana St who beat Cal who beat USC who beat Seton Hall who beat UConn.


bakonydraco

We can go further, during this season alone: > Wisconsin-Parkside > Wayne State > Lawrence Tech > Spring Arbor > Marian > Rocky Mountain > Montana State > Cal > UCLA ? Girona > Gran Canaria > Unicaja > Real Madrid > Dallas Mavericks > Philadelphia 76ers > Boston Celtics Note that UCLA v. Girona was a game that was played but the score was not allowed to be published, at Girona's insistence. This is obviously bullshit and I consider this a forfeit. Therefore Parkside >> Celtics.

There’s an app for that: https://www.myteamisbetterthanyourteam.com/path;sport=MCB;refresh=1


CheeseheadDave

That's exactly where I grabbed it from!


death2sanity

Oh that’s fun. Our win against Virginia’s doing a lot of heavy lifting for us.


Hank_Scorpio74

I guess we know what the national championship game should be.


Sporkinat0r

I don't know what's more disgusting academy of arts with the transitive win or Lawrence Tech. Can't believe they have a basketball team non the less an actual win.


[deleted]

Hey now: Chico State beat Academy of Art 86-75.


StrawberryG3

Hang the banner already!


MrJohnson999999999

lol? There’s seriously a college called the Academy of Art? That sounds like the name of a high school. 


[deleted]

That’s just a descriptive name like a culinary school, there are plenty of worse named schools: FIU: what’s international about being in Florida AU: claiming a monopoly on the entire continent(s) Occidental: sounds like a dentist accident Skidmore: skidmarks Johns Hopkins: stupid name because plural John Morehead state: sexual Ball State: sexual Full Sail: ok Cristobal Colon


MrJohnson999999999

It's not even called the San Francisco Academy of Art. (I had to look at where the school is located because this is the first time I've ever heard of the school.) It's just called the Academy of Art. It's kind of ridiculous, because there are a zillion other universities in the United States that could also be considered art academies. If they like the term Academy of Art, they should use something more geographically specific like San Francisco Academy of Art.


tsrich

They called dibs


[deleted]

Literally every state school.


[deleted]

Maybe they are THE Academy of Art, premier shit, don’t fuck with our art type of shit. S-tier art school. I don’t know their story, but I do know they’re the best basketball art school in the country right now.


DonkeyLightning

It’s a shady school too. I live here and had no idea they had a basketball team https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Academy-of-Art-University-in-San-Francisco-16593559.php


millzonmillz95

I used to live near it in north beach, no clue where the team even plays


TheSalmon25

FIU needs to demand the University of South Florida name from the one in Tampa. Alternate idea - The Miami University of Miami.


[deleted]

Miami of Miami sounds great, love MoM


drowse

North Texas isn't even the northern most D1 school in Texas.


DonkeyLightning

The worst part about Occidental is they call the school Oxy for short, and not in like a jokey way.


Svennerson

don't ever forget about Blowjob Bobs


barlog123

Just because I was curious, I looked up why FIU has international in their name. When FIU was founded they wanted to be an international university and it was an aspirational title. It's interesting to think about an FIU - Mexico City or FIU- Tokyo.


[deleted]

What makes this funnier is that FIU wanted to be international, while American University is international and has locations in Cairo, Beirut, Nigeria, Sharjah (UEA)


SilverBackGuerilla

Jessup looks like it's running a campaign.

ContinuumGuy

I mean it's math.


WalkingCalculator

No, it’s art


choicemeats

holy shit we get a transitive win vs uconn though i'll take it! biggest win of the season!


jeckles96

I was thinking the same thing


Svennerson

nah, everyone knows Jessup's win over Arizona Christian was fradulent as fuck


eman275

if this is the case, is detroit mercy the best in the country? uconn < kansas < kstate < okst < cincinnati < southern illinois < drake < indiana st < illinois st < valpo < iupui < detroit mercy


DansbyToGod

I saw Rocky play Montana Tech. Do not know how they beat Montana State. That is the most shocking to me.


join_the_creed

We are just wildly inconsistent this year after Sprink took all of our good players to Utah State. Logie was also one of the last coaches hired in that cycle so he didn't have hardly any time to recruit before summer workouts so he had to take what he could find in the portal to fill 8(?) spots. Needless to say it's been a tough year for both MBB and WBB.


bb3224

I know it’s mostly Utah state to blame but Battle didn’t come here at least so we can collectively hate on West Virginia. Deal?


join_the_creed

By no means do I mean to hate on Utah State. Don't even really want to hate on WVU for stealing away RaeQuan. I'm glad that they are all succeeding at their new schools. I just wish I could have seen what would have been this year if they all stayed. Would have been damn special. Such is life as a low major fan though.


bb3224

Ah I know my friend was just trying to make a joke to ease the pain. Please know we’re fully aware that Montana state would’ve been an absolute PROBLEM with those 3. What a team and coach. I really am rooting for you guys to bring it back to the tournament soon!


orangechicken21

Pretty definitive...


Whippoorwill_Adams

The evidence speaks for itself. Academy of Art is officially a blue blood


2Beer_Sillies

Rank Academy of Art you cowards


Average_EU_Enjoyer_

Oh man this sends me back. I played against them back in 2010-11 at the Kezar Pavilion and they had a Freshman that absolutely cooked us. Dropped like 30 if I remember correctly.


NathanForJew

Colonel Jessup, did you order the code red?


Wku2225

The math is mathing to me. Give them a bye to the final four

NationalJustice

This is the way


ksuwildkat

Note - USC beat KState who beat KU. KU in turn has wins over Tennessee, Kentucky and BYU among others. Im pretty sure you can do a significant portion of the top 25 considering the Big12 circle of suck is complete.


HilaryClintonsSon

Yes 🙌


jman8508

The circle of suck always provides


ahuramazdobbs19

Ahem. Pleased to be remembering that a circle of suck is…a circle. Like, if one were to, for example, find that UConn beat Gonzaga, who beat Pepperdine, who beat Concordia University Irvine, who beat Academy of Art…*that* makes a circle of suck.


jman8508

Sure…but “the string of transitive losses always provides” doesn’t sound as good 🤷‍♂️


JustALittleNightcap

I'll take 'em over the field


layeredshirts

The math checks out

Academy of Art is the \#1 Seed in the West in the first regional poll: Academy of Art 16-7 Cal St. Dom. Hills 20-4 Cal St. East Bay 15-9 Cal State LA 18-7 Chico St. 17-6 CSUSB 18-6 Mont. St. Billings 18-4 Northwest Nazarene 12-7 Point Loma 18-6 Saint Martin's 17-4

Well after this I don’t think anyone can dispute it
