What time does UConn play here in Buffalo? I'd like to buy tickets.
 
This wasn't just AAC disrespect, this was an atomic wedgie.

Louisville a 4?? SMU ranked in the top 25 last poll ousted? The rest of us (all ranked teams) crammed in the same region?

Wow. Guess we know where this conference stands in the pecking order of the twits on the committee. SMH
 
Im seriously just laughing my ass off here over the fact that umass is a higher seed then us. But to be honest i am not that mad because i am extremely glad we have a chance at nova (overrated) in the second round. But wow a 7 seed it has come to this point huh? feel bad for smu hopefully the teams in the aac can do great in the tourny and shove it up the committees ass
 
Not sure who I hate more..... the NCAA or anyone/anything affiliated with the ACC.
 
UConn can lose no more than 4 games if it wants a top 4 seed.

Harvard blows. Don't believe the hype.
 
I'm thinking under seeding of the AAC will be to our advantage. LVille will most likely come out of their region. UConn, Cinci or Memphis could come out of theirs. So possibly 2 Final Four teams. Virginia & Michigan State are the only challenges in the bracket... Nova nor UNCheat scare me.
 
Committee Members:
LSU (and former Duke) AD Joe Alleva,
Utah State AD Scott Barnes,
Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione,
Big Sky Conference commissioner Doug Fullerton,
Michigan State AD Mark Hollis,
Conference USA associate commissioner Judy MacLeod, Delaware AD Bernard Muir
West Coast Conference commissioner Jamie Zaninovich.
Wake Forest AD Ron Wellman - Chairman
Georgia Tech athletic director Mike Bobinski

Two Acc members, including the chairman. Nobody from the AAC. I'm sure the CUSA chairman is not a fan of SMU or Memphis.

And this is a reason why UConn might take it easy on the OOC side. Because the committee doesn't care if you schedule Florida, Maryland, Indiana, Harvard, Stanford, Washington, anymore. It used to be you were rewarded for scheduling a bunch of tough OOC teams.

Wrong. UConn has to dominate a tough ooc, then the AAC, and they will still get lousy seeds. If uconn sandbags their ooc, they will be just like southern miss and Toledo.

Right, You can't schedule in the 300s, but go after the 75 - 125 range and you'll win those games if you are a NCAA tourney team. Then just take care of business in conference. No more Ville next year. We should have at least the same amount of wins in conference next year
 
We have to schedule reallytough OOC teams because the American will suck next year, Cincy won't be good, Memphis will be just OK

I really like WSU and they deserved the #1, but the committee screwed them as well, setting them up against an angry Louisville team that will be out for blood.

Agreed, Wichita's reward for going undefeated is being is being paired with a 4th seed that is ranked 3/4/5, defending champs, and on of the most dangerous teams out there (Florida, Louisville, Michigan St).

Look on the bright side guys would you rather face st joes then possibly nova in the 3rd round or Michigan st in the 3rd round now that i think about it all is not bad

It's the NCAA. One year if UConn schedules a killer OCC slate and has 10 losses with an RPI in the top 30 and does not get in because it's the losses that count. The next year, a weak OCC slate with only 4 losses and UConn does not get in because it's the RPI that matters. It happened before.

Problem: the NCAA doesn't care. You're better off being St Louis or Wichita St.

Really? Their KenPom ratings scare me. Care to give a quick summary of how they play?
 
I have no issue with SMU not being in… all but the Bpi rankings have them in the 50's. They didn't take care of Houston and played no one outside of the league of any merit. I do have a huge issue with the 3 teams in the same regional. That is just bad management on the NCAA part. ACC set up Louisville and punished the rest. Trying to put the league down in "their rightful place". What a joke!

Not to mention you're being sent out West to Washington state. Rough draw all around.

Who cares about the # next to our name, we got a DAMN good draw in the first weekend.
