The "Discuss our seeding and path to the Final Four" Thread

Everyone panicking? Why?

We should beat Iona...Marist had them tied at 46 before Iona pulled away. VCU or St Mary should win....after that West is tough.

Sweet 16 IMO

Does Pitino still full court pressure? Not great for us.

 

[That Guy]

We got shafted, no other way to put it. Kansas, UCLA, and Gonzaga is brutal. Having to play Iona is not going to be fun, and if we beat them we have a very good TCU team waiting. Not happy.

 

[Jay-Bone]

line already moved from -11 to -10.5. Doomed!

 

[uconnever]

Duck it we have to take out st Mary’s Kansas and The zags.

 

[Stainmaster]

Iona 76
UConn 65

My thoughts exactly. Danny won't even be able to keep us within single digits of them.

Have you read any of your own posts this year?

OK Boys time to put up and shut everyone up. Wonder what time on Friday...

i actually went to that Iona/Marist MAAC championship game last night. iona pressed all game which scares me but they were also tied with marist (6-14 in the MAAC) with like 5 mins to go in the game. final score wasnt nearly as much of a whooping that it seems. this was with a mianly iona "crowd" too. we should win that game with ease.

Iona has won 14 in a row, most of them easily. Granted, the competition was terrible, but that's going to be a confident team that has things working.

Yeah. But I don’t see why we don’t get to the S16. I said earlier we should win the BET and make the S16. We’ll see

 

[NoSpamHere]

I think this ranks us 14 overall.

 

[NoSpamHere]

We’re getting 5 teams

How the —-could KState get a 3 ?

Bryce Hopkins vs Kentucky. Interesting.

Bruce Hopkins of PC against the school he transferred out of because of a lack of playing time, Kentucky

 

[Doctor Hoop]

This is a tough draw. Round 1 against an experienced coach who knows how to get the best from his team, then VCU or St. Mary’s. Followed by Kansas and UCLA if seeding follows. VCU is a little like Marquette defensively, can give St. Mary’s a game.

You've been watching us crack under pressure and play out of control all year. What makes you think we will be able to outplay a Pitino-coached team?

Really SMH. I don't know either

No Pikiell

But Nevada gets in. Every year we know the committee is going to just wing it and every year they surprise us anyway.

Vegas Baby!!!

Because we’re a better team talent wise and should move on. I was also told throughout the year that our record and performance in the BE is not who we are. We are the the team that ran through the OOC schedule. Time to show up. We should make it to the S16.
