Selection Show Thread

Wow. A lot of whining in this thread so far. 4 home games coming up.

No one in this bracket we shouldn't beat. Let's go to work.

But shouldn’t there be some reward for earning the #1 overall seed? Yes we are playing close to home but the 2-4 seeds in the region arguably either could have gotten higher seeds or have been paired with the weakest #1 seed.

 

[Palatine]

They screwed US

Bingo! I knew someone would post this. Congrats to Hi-Low for being the first.

 

[navery12]

my biggest fear realized. we get the best 4 seed by far total BS how is auburn not at least a 3 seed

Their resume was not good despite their metrics. They're a really good team but way too inconsistent, especially against good teams. I wouldn't be surprised if the matchup never even happens

 

[Deepster]

Why they suck this year? Have you watched them. They just aren't good.

Right? We're shaking in our boots that we have FAU in our bracket?

 

[IndyLives]

Very tough road. I thought the overall #1 was supposed to get the easiest path?!? This is Murderer's Row compared to some of the projected seeding. Maybe the Committee doesnt want to see a repeat UConn champion??

 

[superjohn]

Throw logic out the window....IA St is borderline 1 seed. A joke

It's even more insane Auburn is a 4 seed.

We got the three other hottest teams in the country who won the Big 10 tournament, Big 12 tournament, and the SEC tournament.

 

[bazz&boujee]

Wow our region has the Big East, Big 10, SEC and Big 12 tournament champions! Along with 2 other teams that were in the final 4 last year. I think the committee is hoping for a new champion this year

And none of them were the conference 1 seeds

 

[giddyup]

Just going to have do what the next team does ..win

 

[Waquoit]

NCAA doing us no favors. We got the toughest 4 seed, 3 seed, and 2 seed

I disagree about Illinois.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I’m sensing the usual massive overrating of the Big Ten. Every single year they do this.

I think our draw is good. It's like people want crappy teams in the ncaas. Auburn is my only complaint, but like I said I think SDSU beats them.

 

[Palatine]

Who does the FAU/Northwestern scout? Murray or Kimani?

 

[HooperScooper]

do they make the S curve pubic?

They release all seedings, so yes.

To be the best you have to beat the best. Whatever. Bring it on!

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Iowa state Net 6, illinois net 15, auburn net 5.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Vermont over Duke. Yes…

Feel like this just gives even more ammo to the conspiracy that the committee doesn't care about Saturday/Sunday games

 

[Incursio007]

I say bring it on. Our guys have a ton of confidence. So excited!

i'll be rooting for SDSU thats for sure

 

[Mr. French]

Duke fans with all you degenerates in Brooklyn, going against Vermont in a 4-13 matchup?!?!?

I smell shenanigans.

 

[superjohn]

Feel like this just gives even more ammo to the conspiracy that the committee doesn't care about Saturday/Sunday games

Or they want UConn to have to run through a gauntlet.

Bring it on!

 

[upstater]

Florida Atlantic... Think I'd rather play Nebraska

 

[navery12]

Are y'all really scared of Auburn? I swear this fan base has an inferiority complex sometimes.

People wouldn't be happy unless the 2-4 seeds in the East are all teams with losing records

 

[Vowelguy]

Those going to Brooklyn get to simultaneously root against Duke

 

[Deepster]

But shouldn’t there be some reward for earning the #1 overall seed? Yes we are playing close to home but the 2-4 seeds in the region arguably either could have gotten higher seeds or have been paired with the weakest #1 seed.

I fear no one. Put Houston in the 8/9 game.

 

[HuskyFich]

Houston just pulled Duke, Kentucky, Marquette.


I’ll take our pull instead lol.
