Selection Sunday Thread

[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.

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.

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

 

[OceanDoggie]

3 Teams we've already played this season in our region: Johnny's, Kansas and Michigan St. (Preseason)

Going to be an interesting Tournament

If they can press then they are a problem.

 

[BarkingDog]

Nova an 8 seed

We just love humiliation, apparently…

 

[Nameless]

Looking at our bracket, this is probably the best we could have hoped for.

2 seed in the East.
UCF/UCLA in R of 32.
If we make it to the S16, a Michigan State team we handled easily in an exhibition.
Likely facing an injured Duke if we make the Elite Eight.

I'll take it.

 

[Mr. French]

USF bringing Hodgson back home to Buffalo.

I’m not thrilled with it but I’m ok with it. State and those guys don’t scare me.

 

[TheShot1990]

I love this bracket. St. John’s will pick off Duke, and we got the two seed.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Villanova an 8 seed isn't terrible for them, but they're dead against Arizona if they get that far.

 

[geohusky]

Two best teams from the Big East in the same conference bull crap they want to make sure the final four is all power conferences

 

[BugsyCT]

Put Nova in the 8/9 in Arizona's bracket - good luck to any of these Big East teams
