Selection Show Thread

[Dove]

How about Duke? You picking them again?

I need to assess.

 

[auror]

They had Auburn as the 15th team so the 3rd 4-seed, which in their mind was giving us a break.

 

[UCfor3]

Kentucky scares me more than auburn or Illinois. Yeah they are wildly inconsistent, but if they are playing well they can beat anyone and travel well.

Kentucky doesn't defend. Aubutn gets into you defensively. Kentucky only scares me if Shepherd is in god mode.

 

[Vowelguy]

Stetson is our 16? Surprised that it's not a play-in winner.

Howard /Wagner is one of the playin games — pretty sure they can’t put Wagner in the Brooklyn region as you can’t have a 16 with (near) home court advantage over a 1.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Hahahaha and they claim Iowa State is the #8 team in the field in order to claim we have the easiest region. Ludicrous. Insulting, really.

 

[Hi-Low]

IA State 8th team?...what a bunch of liars in commitee.

 

[NCHusky91]

Show some guts and leave a mediocre, 14 loss Mich St team out for once.

 

[LStudfellow]

Those guys will be back. That said. Auburn should be a 3. Dickenson outplayed Eddy when he was at Michigan, so they set that one up a bit.

Seriously? My point stands. Kansas is in no way, shape or form a #4 seed this year. They have been playing poorly for a month. And that has been with Dickinson in the lineup. You want to debate it? Fine. But you are not being objective to argue for them being a 4-seed this year.

Kansas finished tied for fifth in the Big12 with BYU, who beat them AT PHOG ALLEN 2 weeks ago and they got a 6-seed.

Come on... you have no argument to make. Be thankful that the committee over-seeded you by 1 to two seeds.

 

[UConNick]

LMAO that s-curve ranking is hilariously bad

 

[jrazz12]

Iowa State the 8 and Auburn the 15. Committee was asleep this weekend.

The moron on TV sleeping through the interview is a perfect representation

 

[superjohn]

The 4th place BE team didn’t make the tournament. Thats BAD.

The 5th and 6th place teams weren’t even in the discussion.

They don’t view the BE as a power league

We were the most top heavy conference in the country this season but it's still a slap in the face.

 

[3rdbass]

Michigan State a 9 seed and Clemson a 6 seed and only 3 big east teams. St johns wasn't even on first 4 out. Iowa stste as the worst 2 seed? This selection committee is a joke.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Bracket screams low-effort. Negligent. All the amateur bracketologists out there put way more thought and effort into this.

Extremely low-effort. Like I said, the bracket was set by Friday. The last 48 hours only affected bid-stealers and bubble victims, though they clearly were already giving priority to MSU and Virginia.

They didn't want to have to consider anything among the top 16 teams, even though ISU, Auburn, and we cemented our case, and Houston and Purdue embarrassed themselves.

 

[OceanDoggie]

Hopefully J Wright has the cajones to ask Charles McClelland how Uconn as the #1 overall seed received the toughest bracket...

 

[AntG168]

We were the most top heavy conference in the country this season but it's still a slap in the face.

I thought we’d get 4 with PC and SH on the last 4 out. 4-6 in our conference had no shot.

How does the ACC conceivably get more bids than us. Clemson a 6!?! Really?

 

[Waquoit]

Right? We're shaking in our boots that we have FAU in our bracket?

It sure sounds like it

 

[giddyup]

UNC a 1 seed in the easiest region… total joke.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Kentucky doesn't defend. Aubutn gets into you defensively. Kentucky only scares me if Shepherd is in god mode.

But Kentucky can score and a hot offensive team in the tourney scares me. Kentucky won handily at Auburn.

 

[Jimdish255]

They hate us.
We have the toughest 1-5 seeds easily with teams playing well coming down the stretch. And why not give us Duke as a number 4? Are they better than Auburn? I will say FAU is not the same team as last year. Good not great.
Shafted St. John's and gave Izzo an 8 seed where they could have been out, and ultimately should have swapped spots with Grand Canyon for a more difficult opponent if they were in.
The only silver lining for the Big East is Creighton and, Marquette have a path forward.
But the West is weak and Carolina, (barely a number one) along with Purdue practically gets 2 freebies the first weekend.

That's how they roll. Ridiculous but expected.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Eh, not going to cry over St Johns

 

[BigFanCT]

Ackerman gotta go

 

[runner11]

The 4th place BE team didn’t make the tournament. Thats BAD.

The 5th and 6th place teams weren’t even in the discussion.

They don’t view the BE as a power league

Honestly the past day couldn’t have broke worse. We all knew the bubble was full of BE teams and then we get 4 bids stolen. It is extremely odd for the KP 2 conference to get 3 bids but I think a lot is bad luck. If DePaul and Georgetown are normal bad instead of NEC bad does that change anything? The only decisions that really irk me are UVA and MSU.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I also feel like the way the bid-thieves were handled was intentionally done in a way to minimize the outrage. Big-name programs weren't affected (favorable treatment for Virginia and MSU). The Mountain West was screwed, but they're nobodies. The Big East was screwed, but they're nobodies.

 

[Purple Stein]

poverty. church. league. bums.

told you for months that the mwc was getting double the bids.

justice was served.

Mountain West was also royally screwed by the committee.

 

[AntG168]

Also. Can the rest of the BE not named UConn, Marquette and Creighton stop pooping the bed in the OOC?! It’s hurting the league
