Albany

[UConnNick]

That was the best 16 seed I've seen since Alison Feaster's 1998 Harvard team that beat a depleted Stanford roster. The committee royally screwed Albany. They deserved a whole lot better than what they got. You can't drop teams down that many notches merely for the sake of geography. It ruins any semblance of competitive fairness in seedings.

To channel my inner Doris Burke, I thought Albany comported themselves well. I think Tate got really out of control in the 3rd quarter but they played hard and like they wanted to win. I think 15 seed would have been more fitting for UAlbany.

A well coached, athletic team (esp the guards and wings)...Their bigs were cruelly exposed on D.
Play hard nose, confident BB.
We're going to hear good things about this program

We already have. They have the longest streak of auto-bids into the tournament currently at 6.

I agree. Objectively, Albany should have been at least a 15.

That's the future UCF. Coach Abe's players out there playing for Albany today.

Albany did put up a lot of spunk, but come on, they got beat by 61 points. If you reverse those digits, it comes up 16, right where they were seeded..

Let's compare the score to the other 16's shall we? And the other 15s?

So when we beat Texas by 50, and Miss State by 60 that means they should have been 15 and 16 seeds?
