Selection Sunday thread

[Kace-1]

I'm beginning to think the last 4 or 5 teams selected for at-larges were done so by way of Bingo ball raffle.

If Zags were the lowest 1 seed then does that mean Michigan was the highest 2 @ericd7633 ?

I'm ready for the madness to start.

West Virginia didn't get in.

Myself and Boise feel for you, Ralphie...

Maybe we all can play each other in the CBI?

UNCG RIP!!

Why in the world did they set up a MSU Minnesota 2nd round game if they only took 8 nih ten teams ? That makes zero sense . Could've easily swapped out one of the other 2 10s

Yeah that one pisses me off. MSU is going to crush us, if we're fortunate enough to get there.

Prairie View A&M LOL

I feel like 10 was too low for Minnesota and Iowa considering who else was on the 8/9 lines .

ASU-St Johns is the best of the play-in games IMO.

I hate how the last 4 at large teams play at 9pm

that's so dadburn late

Not necessarily. I missed the graphic earlier when they showed the S curve. My guess is they shipped Michigan out West and placed MSU in a more geographical friendly location of being in DC if they make it there.

I'm excited for both really

they'll be fun games I think

Does anybody else feel like the committee just disregarded the last 4 days of basketball?

I hate situations like putting Maryland in the east.

If they can get past LSU, they can get Michigan State and potentially Duke in Washington DC in front of their home fans, who are incredibly passionate and incredibly ugly.

It's not much of a reward for MSU or Duke to play Maryland in front of those Terps fans

Yeah Marquette at 5 with Nova at 6. Cincinnati at a 7. Washington at a 9. Baylor at a 9. Oklahoma at a 9 but Minnesota at a 10 All odd placements imo

I love this committee head saying that Quad 1 wins are everything after giving Gonzaga (4 Quad 1 wins) a 1 seed over Michigan State (12 Quad 1 wins).

But honestly, the bracket wasn't too bad overall. We definitely had the worst Round 1 draw of anyone, but Oregon is some good karma if we win (we beat them in both of our 2014-2015 Final Four runs) and if we can't beat them, we weren't gonna go far anyways.

The East has arguably the two most complete teams in the country, but they made up for it by making the rest of that bracket comparatively weak. There are a lot of inconsistencies among the individual seeds, but each bracket is filled with some overseeded teams and some underseeded teams.

That's what I was thinking too

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Committe likes our Q1 wins.

We were the best rated 5 seed even after the collapse.

If we didn’t collapse we woulda been a 3 easy it appears smh

They usually do.
