Selection Sunday Thread

[NewBlood]

I would rather potentially face Mich St than Purdue. I think we were getting one of them.

UCLA has to come east....again.

Would love to end Cronin the angry leprechaun’s season. He’s a

Undefeated regular season gets you the final at large bid. Value proposition of low major conference tournaments plummeting

They weren't the final at-large; they were ahead of three other teams according to the head of the selection commitee.

Did you vote national champion? That is what I would call the polyana vote. It ain't happening. I would dump a lot of money on that. I do appreciate positive thinking. Set your expectations appropriately and you'll avoid the freak out. (Elite 8).

Michigan just lost to Purdue. Anyone can get anyone on any given night. I’ll take our guys no matter what. I’m proud to be a pollyanna.

I want people picking against us. I want the team looking at the most disrespect possible. I want Alex and Tarris watching TikToks of talking heads saying UConn is overseeded and calling Furman this year's Cinderella. I want our guys stewing all week and feeling slighted and overlooked.

I would hope the way they got curb stomped last night is enough motivation to be locked in and play well.

Hope is one thing, would be 100% if it was based on hope.

Not too sure about that.

The non BE refs!

Do none of the BE refs work this big dance? Are they all neutral?

Final 4 in the "bubble Covid year" with no/limited fans

Yes they lost to Gonzaga in the final 4 but they also lost to Gonzaga in the sweet 16 in '23.

 

[3rdbass]

I’m not touching that poll I don’t do predictions.

Why you aren't losing any money doing it? I picked Elite 8.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Hurley told reports Silas is in good shape, and Jaylin is close to coming back.

 

[Scoe]

Why you aren't losing any money doing it? I picked Elite 8.

I’m superstitious like that, maybe I’ll make my pick tomorrow.

Our OOC really got us that 2 seed. Without those wins, we would be a 5/6 seed.

 

[HooperScooper]

He made a final 4 with Jaime Jaquez when UCLA was a play in 11 seed, he also made two sweet 16's with Jaquez.

I forgot Jaquez was on that Final 4 team. Seems like ages ago.

Gotta love the bracket !

If the tournament was this bracket and nothing else I'd be happy with it.

St John a 5 seed? That's disrespect for the Big East

I guess Saturday’s game didn’t mean that much after all. What a bummer for St John’s.

 

[Jimdish255]

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

Cronin and Hurley will be must see tv.

Does Polymarket have odds on Cronin and Hurley both getting T'd up before tipoff?

 

[housekeys]

Man there are a LOT of people in this thread forgetting that St John’s is going to have to play actual basketball now.

If you ever go to their MB and see their fans prognosticate about their games, it is always predicated with "if the refs let us play". Translation: "if we can get away with fouling".

 

[businesslawyer]

Can’t wait for the week long messages of experts on here telling us Furman is the next 1986 Celtics. Good times

I remember when Bucknell became a hip pick to beat us in the first round in ‘11. IIRC we ran out to something like a 32-8 lead.

Got a chance to watch the selection show with the team and staff. Thanks @beerfan

Best ooc counts

 

[Jimdish255]

Very tempting to look ahead but feels like it all comes down to one thing: can we shoot?
