SMU a 6?

[kobe]

I hate Mick Cronin. His yapping got us sent to Sacramento.

 

[Robertelamin]

Maryland is trash.

 

[BUConn10]

Here is @7774 to remind us that conference affiliation plays zero role in selection Sunday and a team's ceiling in the postseason.

Go on.

 

[kobe]

Their schedule is not much better, lost to Butler and Rhode Island when ranked. The OOC is all we "Americans" have until our league gets better., which is the only thing that could work well. Get 4-5 ranked teams in the league and all problems start to be solved.

We did win at Iowa State who is a 5 seed and won the Big 12 tournament. Also beat Xavier.

 

[Robertelamin]

LOL at Syracuse

 

[patrick]

Lol no cuse

 

[FartMan69]

Who cares. Syracuse didn't get in. Good job by the committee

 

[BugsyCT]

Cuse's bubble burst.

Good.

 

[jibsey]

Did we screw Cuse?

 

[Robertelamin]

BUT THEY BEAT DUKE!

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Love that our win at MSG essentially burst the orange bubble

 

[superjohn]

Vandy a 9 seed with 15 losses.

 

[BugsyCT]

Did we screw Cuse?

Absolutely.

 

[metsfan2323]

Well they left out Cuse so all is forgiven. LOL

 

[CTBasketball]

Vandy a 9 seed with 15 losses.

Makes sense right!?

 

[jibsey]

Old Big East NIT possibilities, us, Cuse and Pitt?

 

[Bryan Lord]

Can't wait to here JB's quotes about this

 

[The Viking]

Perhaps Aresco can get the Technical tonight that Ollie should have gotten last night

 

[Travelman6]

Cuse did not get in, so thumbs up to the committee for that.

MSU not only getting in, with 14 losses, but getting a 9 is a joke. Vandy getting in as a 9 with 15 losses is also a joke.

Illinois St deserved to get in with a 12 seed IMO. SMU was screwed. Those are my initial complaints.

Duke was gifted a 2, of course.

 

[Yankees32123]

They need to schedule better. Everyone in this conference needs to schedule better.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

on the bright side our Win over Cuse probably kept them out of tournament!

 

[BugsyCT]

I hate Mick Cronin. His yapping got us sent to Sacramento.

Lotsa bluebloods in your bracket. Good luck.

SMU had 3 of their 4 losses before December started and the other was to Cincy by 2 points. So they beat TCU who beat #1 Kansas in the Big 12 tourney. Question, would you want to have to play them? Hope they get to play and beat Duke, it's as close to enjoyment that this tourney will bring me.

This has been the trend in the four years the AAC has existed. Its not right and it really makes you think. As far as SMU having 3 of their four losses in December, I say thats life in the AAC. Its just a fact that we will play the meat of our schedule before Christmas every season. Thats why its so important for the team to be ready when the season starts because wins vs the top teams in November and December will hold a lot of weight come selection Sunday.

Duke deserves a 2

 

[Travelman6]

No. They don't. They get a 2 on name only.

 

[whaler11]

Wichita State is 8th in the Pomeroys and a 10 seed. That's criminal.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

No. They don't. They get a 2 on name only.

Yeah, I guess winning the ACC tournament and having the most top 100 wins is worthless

 

[Robertelamin]

I like how Barkley picked the PC/USC winner to beat SMU. There is no way he has seen more than 40 minutes of all 3 teams combined.

 

[whaler11]

What a joke.

And SMU passed Duke in the pomeroys today. 11th versus 12th.

Ha.

 

[UConnNick]

At least CBS didn't show us as one of Syracuse's "bad losses", so I guess we made a little progress toward the end of the season in somebody's eyes.
