Selection Sunday

Friggin cuse in. gonna be great pickin time with the ring around the rosey defense.

Put it this way Alabama does not want to play UConn and they think we are very very good.

My point. It’s almost as if we don’t know who we are and who we have. NO top seed wants to see a UConn team, with a dynamic scoring guard in their bracket. NOT ONE. They all know how this goes lmao

Seth Greenburg doesn't like us. "Alabama easiest draw"

The guy has one career NCAA tourney win - I wouldn’t pay much attention to his opinion.

 

[superjohn]

You have to play tough teams no matter what, I like our bracket.

Houston as a #2 seed sucks.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I’ve seen them play. They aren’t a team we can’t beat. Outside of the last game Bouknight has been really good. Our expectations for him are just through the roof(deservedly so). Let’s not forget that a week ago we demolished the BET champions. With Bouk we’ve been “really good” as well. None of them teams in the east scare me, none. Not saying we won’t lose. But I feel confident going into all of these games. No disrespect to Bama. A rested Bouk, with some time to reflect and focus in will be dangerous. RJ Cole who was robbed of the chance to get his revenge in the Creighton game will also be ready to battle. We’ve got some dudes. I believe we’re in the perfect spot as a team. Confident, knows we can win, but still have sooooo much to prove. We’ve been here before

I didn't say we can't beat them. But this "we'll have the best player" stuff doesn't move the needle. They are far better than any team we've beaten this season. No one is saying it's an unwinnable game. But there's a reason they're a 2 seed.

Obviously but the fun of a bracket is looking ahead

Tough to look beyond a team that beat Illinois, Perdue and Rutgers. Played Michigan 3 times and played decent in 2 of them

That’s a rough 7/10 match up. They are way more battle tested then we are. Man, the mental competency of this forum has gone down hill fast....

 

[billybud]

Louisville with a 57 in NET and 1 Q1 win has absolutely nothing to complain about.

56 Net and 6-0 in Q2....UConn had more Q1 wins at 4-4 but was 3-3 in Q2....maybe Louisville got some credit for the 6-0 Q2.

I doubt UCONN is on Alabama’s radar.

 

[BugsyCT]

It's a good draw for us, and also a fair draw. Let's worry about Maryland first before any Bama hype. B1G is loaded this year.

Glad the BE got 4 teams in.

 

[Ant3411]

The fact that we're not a 7 in either of these first two regions leads me to believe we're an 8 against one of the weaker #1 seeds, but I could be wrong.

Good thing you don’t pick the brackets. But hey, let’s go! Pumped for our seed and matchups.

 

[Kitaman]

Seth Greenburg doesn't like us. "Alabama easiest draw"

On paper they probably do, I have no problem with his statement.

 

[HooperScooper]

We’ve got guards and can defend. The difference....we’ll also have the best player

He just needs to play like it and they'll be fine.

 

[uconnever]

I think we got a tough draw. Maryland, Alabama, Texas whew! But I do believe we can beat them all but man that’s tough.

 

[superjohn]

Good thing you don’t pick the brackets. But hey, let’s go! Pumped for our seed and matchups.

Tens might be the biggest worrier on this site.

 

[billybud]

We all have a bias from what we have seen...

I hate FSU playing Georgetown as a #12...in game two...Georgetown looked dangerous....

I have not watched Maryland or Bama...so have no "feel".

[Jimdish255]

We want the 7 seed vs. Alabama here.

Why do we want Alabama? IMO it's the ACC and the B1G that are overrated.

Overall I love a bunch of the matchups. And we have a winnable 1st Round matchup. But the obvious bias as to how Cuse and UNC are treated is predictable and sad.

 

[Tex-Lager93]

Seth Greenburg doesn't like us. "Alabama easiest draw"

That bodes well for us. He picked against us in every single game as a 7-Seed in 2014.

 

[billybud]

UNC was 8-0 in Quad 2

and Cuse 6-1 in quad 2

Sure that helped.

 

[Kemba15]

truth

They are not “far better” than USC, let’s not get crazy. They are a tough team with some good wins but they also lost 13x.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Disappointed seeing only 2 of the 4 from MWC. No Boise State or Colorado State. Get Syracuse and Wichita State out.

Whhhaaahhhtttt? Go Alterique!!!

 

[superjohn]

That bodes well for us. He picked against us in every single game as a 7-Seed in 2014.

Some of these guys had us losing to Bucknell in 2011.

 

[Kolumbo]

We just gotta get 1 win and then see how they are playing. Maryland beat Illinois so that should be the only focus.

 

[August_West]

Alabama is really, really good. The Bouknight of late is not gonna cut it.

I would’ve preferred to be the 8 in this bracket. Alabama is better than Michigan.
