Selection Show Thread

[IndyLives]

Pitino disrespected. He's a Top 10 all-time coach. This Committee should be FIRED.

 

[HuskyHawk]

It's almost like they intentionally boned the Big East with only 3 teams and UConn getting the toughest bracket despite being the overall #1.

Oh they did. So it’s time to wreck those plans.

 

[Brochacho]

Very happy with our bracket. Avoided all the teams I didn’t want to see.

 

[KingAG]

They just treated the BE like the A10. I hope Val is watching. A message has been sent.

 

[Scoe]

More motivation for Hurley to give his guys.

 

[UConNick]

Bracket screams low-effort. Negligent. All the amateur bracketologists out there put way more thought and effort into this.

 

[kobe]

poverty. church. league. bums.

told you for months that the mwc was getting double the bids.

justice was served.

 

[xclamations]

Time to add Dayton & vcu, gonzaga st marys to the league

 

[superjohn]

Oh they did. So it’s time to wreck those plans.

Hurley is going to have something to say about the Big East only getting three teams.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Only 3 from BE is insane. Any of Seton Hall, St. John’s or Providence had a good chance to win multiple games. We need to seek vengeance

 

[KingAG]

The 4th place BE team didn’t make the tournament. Thats BAD.

The 5th and 6th place teams weren’t even in the discussion.

They don’t view the BE as a power league

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

It's pretty clear the last few Conference championship games were not factored into anything. Iowa State's pounding of Houston was a non-factor in seeding. Auburns win non-factor. Kansas may be down two starters but still get a 4 seed.

Sad!

 

[Ripper32]

We will kill FAU or beat Northwestern. NW isn't deep with Ty Berry out for year & Castle will erase Davis. Plus, Goldin isn't athletic. It's a bad match for the owls.

 

[DRBackup]

I don't really understand this stuff at all. It's so weird to me to force two teams who are good enough to be given 10 seeds to survive a play-in game against each other. Wouldn't it make sense for 15 or 16 seeds to be a play-in game instead of making two teams that are better than them have a play-in.

Because that's where the "bubble" is. The 10 seeds are where the very last at large bids go. So, it makes sense to make the last two teams fighting for the 64th bid to play for it

 

[Dove]

How about Duke? You picking them again?

I need to assess.

 

[auror]

They had Auburn as the 15th team so the 3rd 4-seed, which in their mind was giving us a break.

 

[UCfor3]

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.

Kentucky doesn't defend. Aubutn gets into you defensively. Kentucky only scares me if Shepherd is in god mode.

 

[Vowelguy]

Stetson is our 16? Surprised that it's not a play-in winner.

Howard /Wagner is one of the playin games — pretty sure they can’t put Wagner in the Brooklyn region as you can’t have a 16 with (near) home court advantage over a 1.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Hahahaha and they claim Iowa State is the #8 team in the field in order to claim we have the easiest region. Ludicrous. Insulting, really.

 

[Hi-Low]

IA State 8th team?...what a bunch of liars in commitee.

 

[NCHusky91]

Show some guts and leave a mediocre, 14 loss Mich St team out for once.

 

[LStudfellow]

Those guys will be back. That said. Auburn should be a 3. Dickenson outplayed Eddy when he was at Michigan, so they set that one up a bit.

Seriously? My point stands. Kansas is in no way, shape or form a #4 seed this year. They have been playing poorly for a month. And that has been with Dickinson in the lineup. You want to debate it? Fine. But you are not being objective to argue for them being a 4-seed this year.

Kansas finished tied for fifth in the Big12 with BYU, who beat them AT PHOG ALLEN 2 weeks ago and they got a 6-seed.

Come on... you have no argument to make. Be thankful that the committee over-seeded you by 1 to two seeds.

 

[UConNick]

LMAO that s-curve ranking is hilariously bad

 

[jrazz12]

Iowa State the 8 and Auburn the 15. Committee was asleep this weekend.

The moron on TV sleeping through the interview is a perfect representation

 

[superjohn]

The 4th place BE team didn’t make the tournament. Thats BAD.

The 5th and 6th place teams weren’t even in the discussion.

We were the most top heavy conference in the country this season but it's still a slap in the face.

 

[3rdbass]

Michigan State a 9 seed and Clemson a 6 seed and only 3 big east teams. St johns wasn't even on first 4 out. Iowa stste as the worst 2 seed? This selection committee is a joke.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Bracket screams low-effort. Negligent. All the amateur bracketologists out there put way more thought and effort into this.

Extremely low-effort. Like I said, the bracket was set by Friday. The last 48 hours only affected bid-stealers and bubble victims, though they clearly were already giving priority to MSU and Virginia.

They didn't want to have to consider anything among the top 16 teams, even though ISU, Auburn, and we cemented our case, and Houston and Purdue embarrassed themselves.

 

[OceanDoggie]

Hopefully J Wright has the cajones to ask Charles McClelland how Uconn as the #1 overall seed received the toughest bracket...

 

[KingAG]

We were the most top heavy conference in the country this season but it's still a slap in the face.

I thought we’d get 4 with PC and SH on the last 4 out. 4-6 in our conference had no shot.

How does the ACC conceivably get more bids than us. Clemson a 6!?! Really?
