Selection Sunday Thread

[HooperScooper]

Know nothing about Furman. They're tall they said. I'd imagine our guards could have a field day. Not scared of height. We already saw Florida and Illinois.

 

[TRest]

Reap what you sow I guess.

 

[Henry]

They couldn't find a way to split up the BE teams. Really????

 

[BugsyCT]

And this is what the committee still thinks of the Big East

 

[Greedo]

Does anyone know the time of the game vs Furman? Trying to buy tickets asap.

 

[upstater]

Only good thing is there really is not much difference between a 2 and a 3 but I still think we get a 2

It's odd but I'd rather play Louisville than UCLA. You know Mick will muck up the potential game.

 

[EROCK CONN]

the selection committee heavily influenced by the power conferences absolutely sticking it to the big east ….these guys are such jerks

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Putting St John and UConn in the same region? They really are trying to screw the Big East

 

[jibsey]

If there are 4 BE teams or less, 2 in the same bracket?

 

[jdb50]

Same region as ST Johns and they have to go to San Diego. Really? At least we could have some good fan support in Philly.

 

[Marat]

I like the bottom half of our draw

 

[JakeTheDog]

Ridiculous to put us and St. John’s in the same region. Can’t have two Big East teams making a run.

 

[Mets1432]

Interesting potential matchup with UCLA. They have beat some good teams this year.

Cronin and Hurley will be must see tv.

They're very tall and tough. And they have a nasty freshman guard who wanted to go to UConn and didn't get a look so he's going to give us 25+. We should be very worried

 

[WeAreUCONN]

I guessed 3 in the East. Very happy with the 2 and our bracket. We should get to the Elite 8 to face Goliath aka DUKE. Dream matchup.

 

[navery12]

I'm sure opinions will change a million times between now and the first game, let alone the future games. But wanted everyone to lock in their immediate thoughts post bracket.

 

[aceboon]

What's scary about Furman? Legitimately asking, I know nothing about them

 

[WillMadsDad]

I love this selection - I assumed we’d get UCLA and Cronin in the 2nd round. I wanted the East and Duke. My expectations is beating MSU - at least the early scrimmage helps - and facing Duke!!!

 

[Tenspro2002]

Not scared of any 15 seed, but I'd prefer one that doesn't have a big upset on its ledger in recent memory.

 

[superjohn]

I'm sure Val will say nothing to the committee.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Bottom half of that region - UConn, USF, Louisville, UCF... is an Aresco Athletic Conference reunion.

 

[EBonz30]

Furman should be a 14 or 13 seed- will be a tough 15 seed matchup. They have a freshman point guard who is a big 5 player- & have size around the rim & 3 point shooters on the wing- UConn will have to play well to win.

 

[Henry]

If only Solo has shot like he did in the commercial

 

[upstater]

MSU the #3 seed is gonna be tough.

The East also gets the top 3 seed in the tourney. So the bracket is loaded. Top 5 seed and top 3 seed.

If you ask me, UCLA is also the top 7 seed.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

So how does this work? Does the team have a meeting later tonight and decide whether they're going to decline the 2 seed to prep for next year?

 

[navery12]

Does anyone know the time of the game vs Furman? Trying to buy tickets asap.

Won't be announced until tonight, likely between 8 and 9 EST

 

[BFieldHusky]

St. Johns did NOTHING OOC. That hurt them.

 

[JungleLobo]

They do! Love a good potshot at Bruce Pearl. If I see Auburn in the bracket I'm going to explode

Rip Hamilton doppelgänger

 

[jibsey]

At least one team I dislike between Duke and St. John’s will go home.

I think we’re just supposed to be scared of everything
