Enough of the we got screwed brigade. We are UConn for god sake we will rise to the occasion

The NCAA just released their S-curve:

 

[kobe]

so marquette didn't beat a tournament team in the year 2024.

frauds gonna get run by florida like the good lord intended.

 

[uconngb]

They certainly penalized us for getting Brooklyn/Boston.

This is the only explanation that even make a little sense

 

[RedStickHusky]

But why should UConn’s bracket be much more loaded than UNC’s? We are the overall number 1 seed and drubbed UNC. The West is a joke compared to the East.

Because we were #3 when they did it. They're calling us #1 but didn't change anything

 

[IndyLives]

They beat Arizona.

Cant afford to sleepwalk the 1st 10 minutes. Bury them early or by half and give them no hope.

 

[upstater]

And FGC and Temple. They are a shell of last year's team. Everything is on Davis's back.

Bad losses, but look at their wins and their competitiveness. They went toe-to-toe with Texas A&M, Arizona, Illinois. They did well in their conference as well. This is a much better team than their supposed #32 ranking.

Stetson is undefeated in the tourney.

NCAA stacked the 1st game!

What’s the discussion like over on the Cincy board tonight?? Pissed off about the snub??

 

[DRBackup]

only thing i'd worry about with uconn is kind of like houston in the aac, they've only played one or two real games since conference play started

i still think you should be fine huskie bros, maybe one bad half or so but you'll overcome it.

You're a joke. The Big East is the second toughest conference overall. The idea that UConn wasn't tested playing in the Big East is incredibly dumb

 

[Deepster]

They’re getting universally panned on CBS and ESPN and all over the internet. Not just me, guy. Please tell me how UNC deserved that bracket over UConn.

Posts and comments like yours assume this plays out to chalk. And it never ever ever does. Two days in your bracket will be an abstract art piece of red x’s and this conversation will be even more meaningless than it is right now, guy.

The NCAA just released their S-curve:

but seriously where is it?

 

[superjohn]

Big East got screwed on bids and UConn got the toughest bracket but Marquette as a 2 seed with 9 losses and a hurt Kolek is fortunate and Creighton with 9 losses as a 3 seed is fortunate.

 

[Ripper32]

at the beginning of the year. They played poorly in conference, especially late.

 

[auror]

Committee chair cites bracketing principles as why UConn got tough road. I know it's true for Iowa St. I didn't go far enough down to see if it held for having to get Illinois and/or Auburn.

 

[superjohn]

It's about mileage, lolz.

 

[SubbaBub]

Truth is we get one more tough game than we would have had (Auburn) in the S16. As seeded, we should have had Bama or Duke.

Chair just said it was based on distance, LOL.

 

[ScottVib]

They're blaming UConn for choosing the East then them having to slot the seeds by mileage. Parity is within 5 of the other brackets.

 

[CL82]

Are you listening to this bull crap from the selection committee chair? He said Connecticut got to choose its location, and then after that they went strictly by mileage?

 

[SubbaBub]

It's about mileage, lolz.

Cause Bama, Duke, and Auburn are all so close to Boston.

 

[Dove]

Dr McClelland just said UConn's tough bracket is self inflicted because apparently UConn had the choice to pick a region.

 

[CL82]

They're blaming UConn for choosing the East then them having to slot the seeds by mileage. Parity is within 5 of the other brackets.

Yeah but that's adding the sum of the seeds so you can top load a bracket and then bottom loaded as well and still have "parity."

 

[SLY63]

It's about mileage, lolz.

WTF, I never heard that before
