Selection Sunday Thread

[CTBasketball]

So let me get this straight.

We go 29-5 overall. End the regular season ranked #6 in the country. We go 17-3 in conference and lose in the conference championship game to the 1 seed. We get a 2 seed in the NCAA tourney and....

9 people voting have us losing to someone named Furman
38 people (13%) have us not getting out of the first weekend.
59% of people don't have us making the Final 4.

What happened to the Boneyard? We have people openly betting against UConn during the regular season and now we have people brazenly predicting (not if but) when they'll lose? You all really disgust me. The OG Yard would have spent the next 3 weeks insulting and shaming you all beyond reproach.

I saw Swami post recently, who even does the hanging nowadays?

We need some good mojo this year.

All this board wants to do this year is to doubt and criticize and complain about this team.

Kenpom gives us about a 67% chance to make the second weekend which is the lowest of any 2 seed

I've started to use Torvik a lot more this year. It feels like there's been more noise with Kenpom and artificially inflated predictive metrics. Could also be a cope bc we've been higher in Torvik

I'm out. There is no mojo here anymore. What used to be a firestorm has turned into stupid haikus and the occasional "Doooomed" nonsense.

When has the haiku’s ever worked?

St. John's if Duke has Ngongba. St. John's might lose to Northern Iowa (it's a bad matchup for them).

Northern Iowa slows the game down and sends all 5 people back on defense and none to go to the offensive boards. They also have everyone rebound on the defensive end without anyone looking for an outlet pass.

Born and raised in Mansfield. This year has been excessive.

Never.

I’m banking my sanity this week on this exact sentiment, whether I believe it or not.

I want them to crash and burn.

Only after beating Duke.
