Val Ackerman better have some strong words about this bull^^^t.

 

[superjohn]

That’s the hidden message. Mountain West gets 6. Why? Well next year it’s the PAC. We need to get out of here if we can.

Oh come on.

 

[Henry]

Was anyone from the BE on the committee?

 

[TheHorde]

I can’t believe people are complaining about our bracket. You have to play good teams to win a championship and we got very favorable matchups metrics be damned. BYU and Northwestern are the only schools that concern me.

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.

 

[JungleLobo]

Basically have to get all three teams into the Elite Eight to equal the $$ going to MWC and ACC.

That only means living up to their Top 25 rankings

Really bad day for Big East. Virginia and Michigan State are hot garbage.

 

[Dove]

Has anyone who's actually watched Illinois play worried about them?

They're really good

 

[DblCrossbar]

Think NCAA is going to do Pitino any favors?

Sure they did, New Mexico comes in as an 11 vs Clemson .

 

[dogpause]

Call me selfish, but I want every tourney game we play to be exciting, and I want the championship game to be against another #1 seed.

 

[storrsroars]

Virginia is one of the worst teams I have ever seen. St. Johns and Seton Hall much better.

Even my wife, the Pitt alum, said St John's or Providence would destroy UVA.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

UConn vs. Arizona for championship?

 

[CL82]

virginia is horrible on offense. Can't shoot FTs either. If they surrender 60 they lose.

 

[TheHorde]

I really thought they had as good a chance as any of the bubble teams to get in.

 

[Kitaman]

I may be strange but I love our bracket. NCAA is throwing the best at us only out of massive respect for our program. It won't work.

We are the best so what should it matter who is in our brackets? Only a couple of BE teams have the best shot of beating us. If we play our basketball this may become our greatest Tourney ever!

I hope the team puts out this message to those freaking out in America:

"Calm down, No worries, We got this!"

Just saying ya'll we've got 5 Championships, we know what to do.

Who are we scared of?

 

[98Uconn]

I’m happy to avoid Duke and Kentucky… the teams have underachieved but are loaded with talent spook me because if they get in a roll it’s trouble. I think we would have found reason to complain about Tennessee or UNC as our 2 as well.

 

[Ripper32]

Who are we scared of?

Auburn or Iowa St. Auburn is super deep. And Iowa St. is better defensively than us. Still they need exemplary performances.

 

[bendm]

It blows my mind that a crappy team like Texas gets a 7 seed

and WSU is also 7 seed even tho they were ranked in the top 25 for basically the second half of the season

 

[DRBackup]

They did it all before the conference tournaments. Those don’t count anymore it seems.

I mean, I get that you don't want to screw a team that put together a solid full season resume, but isn't the seeding supposed to reflect the actual momentum of the day ? It used to, at least

 

[UConnSwag11]

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.

Midwest as well. I think Midwest is easiest.

With that said, did the committee give us these schools because they’re thinking those schools won’t travel like others? Giving us home court essentially?

 

[Waquoit]

Val Ackerman better have some strong words about this bull^^^t.

And if that doesn't work she should start a petition.

 

[uconngb]

Kudos to Jay Williams (yeah I said it) for calling this out for what we all know. We got screwed for being the best team in the country.

 

[TheHorde]

Who are we scared of?

Not scared of them. It’s NOT about being scared of them. It’s about rewarding regular season performance. You can’t address my question because there’s no good answer for it.

 

[Waquoit]

They're really good

They're the one team I've seen more than twice. They look like a bunch of doofuses to me.
