Positive test, yesterday.

Dang! Well, CD will pull 'em through!

 

[eebmg]

There was no UConn to cut to, so they had to put something there. All the other teams they are showing the watch parties.

Show Paige live. Like burying TN, SC

 

[Sanka541]

So, how is everyone feeling about it? I would have rather Lou over Baylor but rest isn’t bad? I’m glad to have avoided teams like Georgia for sure!

 

[SLY63]

Iowa is dangerous, Baylor will be a tough out

 

[Baylor1994]

Marquette upsets Baylor.

Hey we don’t need that bad juju

Gotta beat somebody, it's good.

 

[Heytherego]

Have to say I’m happy with our bracket. Every bracket is tough, ours too no doubt, but I like us against everyone. Beat the best to be the best. If we get Baylor that’ll be a grind it out game, but again I’m confident.

 

[bluedevil]

Marquette upsets Baylor.

Hell freezes over.

 

[Vowelguy]

Did DePaul make it in?

No

 

[eebmg]

No DePaul, no Notre Dame.

They said one of the most important factors was how well the team played down the stretch.

[Cornell Lt]

I hopefully get the matchup I wanted...Syracuse vs Conn

 

[Zonepress]

Having watched Baylor recently It’s fair to say they are playing much better than they were at the beginning of the year
In many ways basketball is all about matchups and I think for UConn this is The most difficult of all of the number 2 seeds...A big and physically strong team that plays good defense The type of team they have had difficulty with over the last few years
If they do in fact meet in a elite eight game it will certainly be a close one

 

[Heytherego]

 

[Plebe]

My goodness, in a way down year the ACC still got a ton of teams in. Really?

Not unjustly so. They're crammed into the 7-10 lines, which is about right, though Wake at 9 is over-seeded for sure. Surprised that Wake at 9 is ahead of UNC (10).

On the other hand, no Notre Dame.

 

[jaydee602]

What an uneven show! They announced the brackets in confusing order. They highlighted a few teams while totally ignoring other teams. No discussion or debates about seedings or surprise selections.

 

[Geesworld]

I would rather have Baylor's side of the bracket. kentucky Iowa and Syracuse.... geeesh!

 

[Sanka541]

I honestly think this is one of those years where you genuinely can’t look too far ahead. Take each game as it comes and don’t worry about playing this team or that team later on.

 

[RedStickHusky]

So, overall #2, Baylor at #7?

 

[eebmg]

Did any other AAC teams get in besides USF, UCF?

It's ESPN, wouldn't expect anything different from them

I think this was done because in the past there was criticism of going into too many stories about teams while revealing the bracket. I'm happy they got the bracket announced, and they have time left to talk about stories now.

Agree. I don’t think UConn matches up well with Baylor. If both teams make it to Elite 8 it will be interesting.
