Selection Show Thread

I guess the NCAA wants to make a repeat as difficult as possible. Screw them.

Thought they ditched Emmert?

 

[AllHusky]

The committee will forever be a clown show

Hathaway was on it

 

[CL82]

Purdue will have a clear path and still screw it up

I'm hoping they're opening game is against Seton Hall, so the tradition of New Jersey teams kicking their ass can continue.

 

[B1GEast]

Kentucky could win it all or lose round 1

As always

 

[uconnever]

Why would Kentucky get a 3 and Auburn a 4

 

[Tenspro2002]

Houston gets a weak and wounded Marquette as their #2.

It is crystal clear to me that these brackets were put together at least 24-48 hours ago, and they did not update them one iota based on the results yesterday.

They were smart enough to realize that calling Houston the #1 overall seed would be an absolute joke, so they gave us the title, but still gave us the second or third best bracket.

 

[NoSpamHere]

No team in the SEC plays defense like us so I’m sure we can handle Auburn.

 

[gsmooth]

No way that having FAU & SDSU in our bracket is random. They don't scare me but not random.

Random is the wrong word my apologies. What I meant to say is that it definitely isn't just objectively by the numbers and academic in a way they would like the public to believe it is.

 

[FluxTZ]

Frankly I'm not surprised by our draw. Any opp for the NCAA to take a jab at UConn, they will take it. Time is a flat circle.

 

[uconngb]

We got the best 2 seed and the best 4 seed. I guess the S curve and the 1-68 seedlings are not a thing anymore. Holy S

Please give them St. Peter’s

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

They returned almost their entire squad this season. They haven't exactly lived up to the hype, but the fact is that it's basically the same team that made the Final Four last year and we'll likely have to play them in the 2nd round.

 

[Henry]

Gavitt said yesterday afternoon that the top 6 lines were already done, so yesterday's results meant nothing......other than to label us top #1 now, but still treating us like we're the 3rd #1.

 

[bendm]

all i can say is bulletin board material. ncaa giving us the middle finger. take that finger and shove it up their bleeps

 

[upstater]

Who would you rather play, Utah State or Florida Atlantic?

 

[storrsroars]

Iowa St has learned to shoot 3s. Coupled with a defense as good as Houston's. That upsets me far more than Auburn, whom we should smoke.

 

[superjohn]

Kentucky scares me more than auburn or Illinois. Yeah they are wildly inconsistent, but if they are playing well they can beat anyone and travel well.

I think I agree with you. Nobody travels like Kentucky.

I think Auburn and Illinois are both really good though and Iowa State is the best 2 seed IMO.

 

[JungleLobo]

Whiners.

#1 overall.

Win 6 times.

Rinse.

Repeat.

They were a 9 seed last year. I think I’d rather play them than Northwestern

 

[AllHusky]

Houston just pulled Duke, Kentucky, Marquette.


I’ll take our pull instead lol.

Love Marquette in that scrum!!

 

[alphasigko]

Kansas a 4-seed?

 

[husky8273]

what? No one has asked what time we play on Friday yet?

 

[back2BE4us]

So we have the B12, B10 and SEC tourney winners...and 3 of the top 5 Kenpom...

Are they saying ISU is the LAST ranked 2 seed???? They were proj as a 1!

 

[Greathusky]

I am not afraid of anyone in our bracket. After the wars we just had in the Big East league and tournament, these games are going to be much easier for boys specially from a referee point of view

 

[KingAG]

By the time we’d see any of the teams we’d be in the s16/e8. Everyone is good/hot at that point

 

[storrsroars]

UVA in is a joke.

 

[CL82]

Creighton in as a three seed

 

[xclamations]

Creighton so annoying

 

[B1GEast]

UNC probably gets the last number 1

 

[upstater]

Oh my, Virginia got in!

Bad news for St John's
