committee shoulda just sent us out west as the #1 seed like they usually do

 

[Ripper32]

Can't believe some of you are scared...we are the BEST team, IDC who we play!!

It's a 1 game elimination tournament. No margin for error or bad luck.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Next year they need to let the #1 overall seed "pick" the 2-16 bracket and region they wish to be in.

 

[Henry]

They certainly penalized us for getting Brooklyn/Boston.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Purdue's path is a joke. We'd play UNC in Final 4. I wanted them in the Final.

 

[ctchamps]

I wonder what Auburn, Illinois and Iowa State are thinking about being placed in our bracket.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Let’s get it done. One game at a time. The draw is over. Let’s finish the job

 

[JungleLobo]

They beat Arizona.

They lost to Bryant.

 

[UConnSwag11]

I wonder what Auburn, Illinois and Iowa State are thinking about being placed in our bracket.

Good question. I’m ready. Let’s go

 

[UCTitleTown]

We've beaten Iowa State before and I was there.

 

[Ripper32]

They lost to Bryant.

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

 

[UConnSwag11]

Hurley is going to use this to motivate the team. LFFGGGGG

 

[UConnSwag11]

We've beaten Iowa State before and I was there.

Same

 

[DblCrossbar]

God, imagine how Iowa State, Auburn, and Illinois feel. They ran the table at the end, looked extremely impressive, and get rewarded with shots at each other, and then us.

And additionally for them to play UConn in Boston, which will be pretty much a home game for the Huskies. Reversing the perspective here doesn't do those schools any favors in the bracket either. Hopefully in the end it's they who will feel screwed just like Michigan State vs the 2014 Husky champions at MSG did afterwards.

You don't follow college basketball, do you?

played marquette without their best player twice and then they should beat a fraudulent creighton team at home.

so the only really tough games were against marquette and at creighton. they didn't play any other tournament teams.

what am i missing?

uconn will be fine because they are really strong, but it might be a worry for a half or so of their first real game.

i know ball pal.

 

[bendm]

where can we see the S-curve?

 

[SLY63]

I would like to see a stat on how conf winners perform vs conf tourney winners in the NCAAs. Anyone see that?

I still like that the first 4 games should basically be home games

 

[RedStickHusky]

I will note that everyone on this board was scared of Iona last year, so maybe we are not the best judges of the tournament?

They played a good half against us

 

[uconngb]

Can't believe some of you are scared...we are the BEST team, IDC who we play!!

Again, I don’t think anyone is scared. It’s about statistics, probabilities, metrics and averages. All of which were ignored.

 

[TheShot1990]

This was last year's sweet 16. How many ACC teams do you see? How many BE? Which team from which conference mopped the floor with everyone and won it all? Now...which conference was robbed?

East Region: No. 3 Kansas State, No. 4 Tennessee, No. 7 Michigan State, No. 9 Florida Atlantic

Midwest Region: No. 1 Houston, No. 2 Texas, No. 3 Xavier, No. 5 Miami

South Region: No. 1 Alabama, No. 5 San Diego State, No. 6 Creighton, No. 15 Princeton

West Region: No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 Gonzaga, No. 4 UConn, No. 8 Arkansas

 

[HuskyBoi]

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

 

[uconn_jack]

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
