@Hitman Hart you just popped that bottle of champagne?

Nice @Hitman Hart!

Thanks guys. Wake would have been a pretty big snub, but was still pretty nervous. That is life on the bubble.

Not a big fan of the draw. KSU is ranked one spot ahead of Wake on kenpom. They're a team that's been playing pretty good basketball of late. Would have much preferred USC or Providence.

tough draw with Midd Tenn St

Yeah, I'm not sure we win that game. I thought MTSU could have gotten an at large if they lost the CUSA Tournament.

Not complaining just because we're facing them but Wisky got fucked. There's no way they are an 8 seed. The Badgers should be higher, especially considering South Carolina got a 7 seed. At worst, it should be Wisc at 7, VT at 8, SC at 9.

Also, Cuse should be in. ACC has been the best conference and its been brutal to play in. Any .500 team should be in. I'd put them in over KSU or USC

I would have traded Minny and Wisc spots.

Teams who got screwed:
Nova
Duke
Wisconsin
SMU
Notre Dame

Teams who got helped:
South Carolina
Maryland
Kansas
Louisville

The West and the South and pretty well balanced. The East and Midwest are a fuckin' joke.

I was hoping that Michigan would jump up to a 5 or 6 seed, but I like their spot. I think they match up well against both Ok St and Louisville.

I thought a 5 was out of the question was hoping for a 6. Thought they got hosed just a bit. Shocked to see Purdue a 4 and Minny a 5.

I think Nova and Duke got a GREAT draw. I also think ND got a GREAT draw because Gonzaga is the probably the weakest #1 seed.

I thought their run over the past 10 games would have been enough to at least have a chance at a 5 seed. Again, I can live with their draw. If they get by Louisville, they have a GREAT shot at the final four. Although I wouldn't bet on it. I think they are overachieving right now.

I remember the good ole days when Big East was the best conference

Cincinnati and SMU both got fucked with 6 seeds. Give me a damn break.

Gotta beat someone out of conference. Running through the AAC alone isn't that impressive

Agree. But definitely SMU.

Absolutely, especially from where they were in late January, I'm just happy they made the field.

I'm not a "true fan" like @Lions=TeHsUcKs (he hates me for some reason because I haven't posted in the college basketball forum enough in his opinion), but I do LOVE Michigan basketball. I watch quite a few games (I grew up on the '89 team and Fab Five).

I loved the Fab Five (in spite of their foibles). I also loved Cazzie Russell and the 1989 NC team.

Don't get me wrong, I like SMU, but how many big wins do they have on their schedule? I think a 5-6 seed is about right for them. Just my two cents.

UC had an RPI of what? 15?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Just glad to be dancing

Wish we got that 11 tho

The 80's to early 90's was an AMAZING time to grow up a Michigan fan. I LOVED it!

Michigan beat SMU early in the season.

Yeah, when they lost to Ohio State, I thought that was it. Glad they proved me wrong. They got better just about EVERY game from then on!

I'm excited about their draw in the tournament. If they keep playing well, they should go deep in the tournament.
