Official Selection Show thread

Just my opinion….Shame on ESPN…no cameras on UCONN when the school was announced to be in the Bridgeport region..

I believe they were not interested in a viewing.

 

[Wonder 12]

Is that near a Metro North station? Driving to the arena In Bridgeport is

About 15 minutes by car

Not ESPN’s fault. UConn chooses not to do it

UConn usually eschews the song and dance routine
Stanford aussi.

People overlooking UCF here. They lost three games all year, all by single digits, two of them to Tennessee and Iowa. They are incredibly physical and great on the boards. UConn will have to grind that one out.

Also think no team has a potentially tougher path to the title: UCF, Kentucky/Indiana, NC State, Stanford, SC.

 

[UCFKnights]

As a UCF fan I am disappointed that we got sent to UCONN. Just feels like a poor draw. I personally live near Houston so selfishly was hoping we'd get sent to one of the schools out here. Hopefully we can shutdown Florida and see what happens though.

Public service announcement. If you are angry about the selection show... don't cook right after it ends... wait a few days.

Actually, I think it’s Greater Carolina and Lesser Carolina.

You are right. I'm trying to be a bit nice and didn't want to use those terms

 

[LETTERL]

It's all Title IX discussion so far. No analysis about the tournament.

None. Zilch. So far, 30 minutes discussing Title IX, equity, and now a segment on Aaliyah Boston.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

This is so annoying and disappointing. Spend time talking about matchups and games.

 

[nwhoopfan]

None. Zilch. So far, 30 minutes discussing Title IX, equity, and now a segment on Aaliyah Boston.

And then Dawn. Something about her...she just instantly annoys me as soon as she starts talking.

 

[RowdyFan]

You're right, brain fart here. An hour and twenty minutes away, so still very close to home.

And every top 4 seed hosts the first 2 rounds. After that, you travel to a predetermined regional site. UCONN's regional location is in Bridgeport which gives them a home atmosphere until the Final Four.

Have you ever driven CT highways? An hour and 20 minute drive takes forever. I'd pack an overnight bag.

 

[Boreifs]

Yes, Iowa is the two seed in Greensboro.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer team.

 

[UcMiami]

Actually, I think it’s Greater Carolina and Lesser Carolina.

I had a friend who bought a house in Nether Wallop, Hampshire, UK - when I went to visit we biked through Middle Wallop to a nice pub in Over Wallop - I always liked those designations so I prefer:
Over Carolina and Nether Carolina.

This is going to be Aliyah Boston's tournament

Nan the Trumbull Marriott is off the Merritt Pkwy and you'll have to find a way to get to I-95 south which isnt bad. A short trip. In the past teams stayed in Stamford and Trumbull Marriotts.

Hey! Good luck in the tournament. Your team earned the #1 seed. I hope UCONN faces NC State.

 

[Boreifs]

So many teams I want to see all in Bridgeport region! Indiana, UMass, UConn. Also thrilled with the top seeds in Bridgeport and that Creighton and DePaul have made it in. Dare I say Crème is way off this year?

He predicted 67 of the 68 teams. How was he way off?

 

[Plebe]

We had a chance to make a case for Greensboro in that opening game and had the door shut pretty quickly with that loss.

It didn't come down to just that one game. The losses to Georgia and Notre Dame also hurt the cause. If the SC game had been the only one NC State lost, they'd probably be in Greensboro.

 

[LETTERL]

There's a good possibility that the entire "bonus coverage" may not contain a single analysis of any potential matchups.

Very poor.

 

[Wonder 12]

About 15 minutes by car

You can also try Shelton quite a few hotel chains there not far

 

[mbr33ct]

Why this no love for UConn and of their #2 seed in Bridgeport. You want to blame this on anyone blame all the teams that were upset on day one of their conference tourneys that made this happen.

 

[Tonyc]

Nan the Trumbull Marriott is off the Merritt Pkwy and you'll have to find a way to get to I-95 south which isnt bad. A short trip. In the past teams stayed in Stamford and Trumbull Marriotts.

Also Ralph and Riches Restaurant is a short walk from Harbor Yard and again in the past Geno the team and their parents eat there after the game.

Agreed that no opponent of UCF is in for an easy or fun time. This is their best team yet, led by seniors and super-seniors.

Morrow reminds me a lot of boston

Only one team could be the #1 seed in Greensboro. That head-to-head loss was likely a difference maker.
