NCAA selection thread

UConn fans looking at bracket, we got screwed. UF fans looking at bracket…we got screwed. Should make for a fun matchup if it happens. Walter Clayton gets his chance at revenge.

They’ll be haunted by the ghost of Scottie Wilbekin. They stand no chance.

Have no fear. Win or lose, destiny awaits us!

Fear is the mind killer

They're very good but I don't trust a team that takes bad shots and can't make FTs or 3's

The ft's are a big concern. Not shooting many threes is why I think they're so damn good and so difficult to upset. No reason to shoot many threes when u get to the rim constantly and rebound everything. The teams who need their threes to fall are the teams who usually get upset, IMO.

Speaking of the SEC, 10 Vandy is no juggernaut either playing 7 Saint Mary's. Go beat the spooners.

 

[AntG168]

Follow the squad. This is the energy!

 

[superjohn]

If you hit on that bet it’d make you a lot of money

So Big East was getting three teams in this season, huh?

Sorry, had to bring it up.

 

[Dove]

We have Florida and St. John’s in our region

Poor Florida and St Johns

 

[upstater]

Oklahoma had a really good OOC. This looks like a good team, they had a hard time in the SEC but they handled business

 

[Jimdish255]

Arizona is a 4 and yet hasn’t done more than Creighton. The Big East is toast. Will never be respected by the committee again.

The Big East has 5 of the last 10 Nattys.
SEC Zero.
That's what this is about. Keep moving the goalposts until they have every angle covered to get their guys over the hump then relegate us to a third tier league.

 

[Vowelguy]

Idk, I think TTU and Maryland are very good teams.

TT gotta play Mizzou or Drake in Wichita. Road game.

 

[Jimdish255]

Tourney doesn't get good until the 3rd or 4th round. The people who like the first weekend are the same people who don't watch football until the Super Bowl. Give me the big teams playing each other

Is this Tim Brando?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

There may be some bad news here. Chances are very slim that we'll be able to wear our home whites in the national title game. It'll be the first time ever for that.

 

[Dove]

I don't hate our match up with Oklahoma, but we might as well not take the floor against Florida. That will be a slaughter

 

[86.578]

Anyone know when game times are determined?

 

[BugsyCT]

They have Tristen Newton as our top player.

I like our chances then. Tristen can ball.

2014?

1999?

Anyone know when game times are determined?

Last year I think they came out around 9 or 10 Sunday night

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Anyone know when game times are determined?

20 minutes

I feel bad for Creighton having to play Louisville in Lexington. How does an 8 seed get such a favorable venue.

I don't feel bad for them at all!

 

[Edward Sargent]

Don’t mind that at all. Fears is gonna be a tough guard though

Make Fears a jump shooter and feed our centers. We get to see Goodine ! On his 4th team in 4 years

 

[tzznandrew]

After watching a bunch of conference championship games, I thought the Gators looked like the best heading into the NCAA tournament and a problematc matchup for UConn, if we get past Oklahoma. They have the quickness, length and athleticism to give us fits. They can flat out play and I fear they'll completely overwhelm us on both ends of the floor.

If by some miracle we do get past them, we'd likeky face SJU, with their relentless style of play, which is our Kryptonite. IMO, it's the worst case scenario. I was hoping we would be put in Dook's region.

Well we dug our own hole so we'll just have to dig out of it.

Florida is very good. Definitely the 1-seed I wanted to play the least.

That said, Raleigh vs. Florida isn't quite the home court it is for Duke, and we usually travel pretty well. Also, while they have been on a roll, they've lost to Georgia in the last month, a team I'd suggest is a rung below us (despite getting a 9), so they're absolutely beatable.

Will they beat Florida? No. Probably not.

 

[BugsyCT]

2014?

1999?

No and no.

It's worked out that we've worn white in all 6 of our NC games.

 

[Jimdish255]

Forget you heard this but Karaban and Solo have been in a slump an due to turn it up a notch. Mahaney is heating up. Johnson inconsistent but starting to show a little fire. And our Coach has won 2 Nattys in a row. Our guard situation is far from ideal but many of these teams turn out to be "not all that" when tournament time comes. It happens every year. One game at a time.

 

[tzznandrew]

They're very good but I don't trust a team that takes bad shots and can't make FTs or 3's

I'm deeply skeptical that what they get away with in the BE will translate the tournament. I would absolutely not be surprised if they got bounced in the second round.

 

[Old blue]

How in the hell does Purdue get a 4!!! Total BS. They lost to everyone good they played against!!
