Selection Sunday Thread

Winner of Kstate vs Wake can beat Cinch

Feel the same. Normally pools don't take first four into consideration, but either of those teams have a solid shot to beat Cincy in the 1st round. Will have to hold out to submit

How they are seeding the Big 10 teams befuddles me.

Don't want to see 8 ACC sweet 16 teams?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Cuse out?

Or did X get taken out?

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

So Syracuse is out

I didn't think they'd make it, terrible on the road

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

The BIG 10 was a complete garbage league and by far and away the worst of the power 5 leagues

I am thinking they just poked the big 10 teams in to even out geographic needs than anything else

I am slightly worried that my TERRAPINS might not even make it now

 

[Ottermatic]

Why even have these fucking conference tourneys other than auto bids if they don't even consider the performances?

They would have if you hadn't finished a half hour before the selection show.

Teams like duke and Iowa state got a significant boost from the conference tourneys

2 wins away from the dome all year.

@Smart I haven't watched much of Wisc this year. I'd assume you'll outsize us significantly. Did see this which is an interesting stat

Our three point defense isn't even bad. For the last month, we've had a bunch of 35% shooters drill like 4/6 contested threes against us.

There will be some open threes because of how aggressive our defenders are, but I still think 4 of our 5 starters (all but Koenig) are All-Big Ten caliber defenders.

Just LOL @ Minnesota as a 5 and us as an 8. We have a better record against a tougher schedule and sweep them (including a win one week ago) and are three seeds lower. What a disaster.

On the upside, if Wisconsin advances, Nova's going to have all sorts of trouble with Happ. He's the exact kind of player I fear.

Again, feel committee has their own agendas.

Bilas were so sure that they would make it

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

um maryland...calling maryland

 

[ckhokie]

LOL @ both Vandy and Northwestern seeded ahead of us

 

[Smart]

Using RPI SOS numbers Minnesota's SOS was 16, Wisconsin 89.

RPI SOS is a complete joke, though. You know I like KenPom. We are #39 and Minnesota is #49.

 

[bksballer89]

Notre dame should have been a 4 imo

 

[bksballer89]

Who is the final 11?

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

WVU sitting pretty

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Wow FSU a 3 seed? Lol.

 

[Smart]

um maryland...calling maryland

I thought for sure they were going to that 7-10 game. Bet they are sweating it out (I'm sure they are in 6-11).

 

[ckhokie]

Oh man interesting games in the west. FSU could lose to Dunk City, and Xavier isn't an easy draw at all for UMD

Wish they used goddamn KenPom

Vandy a 15 loss 9 seed lol
