NCAA selection thread

We're a six

How does Marquette get a better seed?

Then again, how does UNC get in?

 

[KingAG]

Remember the last time we played a one seeded Florida when they were “the most complete teams in the country”? Our seed is even almost identical….

 

[KingAG]

Don't like our draw. OU is better than their record and Florida will murder us if we best Sooners

If you’re scared go get a dog

They went out of their way to screw the BE. Will never take a chance on seeing 3 BE teams in the FF.

How did they do that? They have us playing a team that everyone here believes sucks in an 8-9 game, and put Xavier in.

14 SEC teams makes seeding difficult.

14 sec teams is an insult to college basketball.

I am sure Florida is not thrilled we are sittting there. Just brat OU and take a shot.

What are you talking about? We match up so poorly against Florida. Our strength is our offensive efficiency. Our defense is trash. And Florida has one of the best offenses I've ever seen.

It will take a freaking miracle for UConn to make it out of the first weekend.

 

[NCHuskie919]

We're beating OU.

 

[housekeys]

Fears is really really good. He will be a handful for Hass. Dynamic guard.

It is always the others that have "career" games, and combined with the star performer, that gives us fits.

Xavier got in. I disagree with you considering the Big East only has one high seed worthy team.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Seems like the conference tourneys really dont matter much any more. Aubruin gets a 1 overall losing 3 out of 4. Creighton should be seeded 8 and us in their 9 spot imo.

Do we believe in miracles ?

 

[Tyler2Rings]

UNC and Texas are a joke. F68 bracketology guys say they will have to take "brands" into account going forward

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Do we believe in miracles ?

Yes

 

[Hi-Low]

Quad 1 is meaningless I guess if UNC & X have 2 Q1 wins between them

 

[KingAG]

Do we believe in miracles ?

It won’t take one.

It’ll take us playing a modicum of defense though. We can play the other side of the ball with anyone

Florida has been my pick to win the championship all season. Would still rather face them than the Johnnies.

 

[UCONNRPh]

Woo hoo live NC getting tickets

I live in Raleigh !!

 

[Hi-Low]

FL is #1 offense....game should be fun if we beat OK

I think you need to beat some good teams to win the the thing. Eventually. All I am saying is I think they are not thrilled a team with our pedigree and high ceiling is not the preferred 8!seed. But if you want to call it a seadon so be it.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Good for them.

 

[KingAG]

While some of you are here pissing your pants.

14 SEC teams makes seeding difficult.

It should have been 12. But it’s not hard to see that Bama is the worst 2 seed, not the best.

 

[Scoe]

Remember the last time we played a one seeded Florida when they were “the most complete teams in the country”? Our seed is even almost identical….

Fishing for positivity I see, well how about we beat OU first.

 

[NewBlood]

Good matchup with Oklahoma. If we best them, a battle vs a real contender. Lose and we are on to the next season (tying Duke's bid for a 3rd straight),

Win against Florida and all bets are off.

 

[HuskyHawk]

While some of you are here pissing your pants.

They should be in the play in game in place of Texas who shouldn’t be in at all.

 

[KingAG]

Positivity is the only way. If you don’t believe you have no shot. And yes we can look ahead at other possible games. It will have no affect on our game against OK. That’s the fun in the bracket. Lighten up. No one believes anyway. No pressure

 

[BugsyCT]

14 out of 16 SEC teams made it in. Even Texas and Oklahoma with 6-12 records in the conference. Just absurd.

That's what happens when you're at the top of the food chain in realignment - you get every team, lose none, have an overload of teams that play each other, and the mid-to-lower teams get the benefit of strength of schedule thanks to the top powerhouses despite losing records within their megaconference.

Texas was 6-12 in the SEC and 19-15 overall. Tied with OU for 13th place. And they're in.

This is the world we live in now.

 

[BGesus4]

SOMEONE RELEASE THE GOLDEN DOSSIER ASAP!!!!!!!

 

[Stinger92860]

There in lies the problem, shutting down guards has been tge problem all year.

Shutting down anyone has been a problem all year long.

I really haven't had a pick but for a little more than a month I've viewed Florida on its A game as the best that I've seen this season. I believe that in the environment the big dance offers we can beat St John's, but I believe we could also lose to a team that wouldn't stand a chance against most good teams.

One game at a time. Florida will have to find a way to prepare for both us and Oklahoma (while also spending ten minutes preparing for Norfolk). This is the hand we've been dealt, let's play it to the best of our ability.
