Selection Sunday Thread

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.

You think Wisconsin, UF/UVA, and then Duke is a great draw for the #1 overall seed?

Notre Dame should have been a 3 or 4 seed IMO.

Michigan beat SMU early in the season.

I was asking how many big wins SMU had on their schedule. SMU seems like a good call at a #6 seed.

Yeah they messed up a lot of seeding IMO. Picking the teams is pretty easy for the most part. Seeding them they usually screw up

Now who is going to start the bracket challenge on espn/yahoo?

Florida is hurt. I don't think they are that great now. I don't think UVA is that great either. Wisconsin is a tough draw though, they should have been a #5 or #6 seed IMO.

I have their region as the 2nd easiest IMO. I think Duke and Nova cruise to the regional final.

ND could have been a 4 seed, but I don't see them as a #3 seed.

The other issue that I have is that the committee has pitted so many OOC teams who have already played each other this year. That ruins the draw of the tournament.

Once again people complaining about who got 'screwed". At the top of the list is Illinois State. Apparently they are not considered a Division 1 school by the committee. 26-6 vs Vanderbilt at 19-15, help.
If only Illinois State had played 3 of the teams to which Vanderbilt lost they would have a 26-9 record and been in the tourney. Playing in better conference and losing does not a tourney team make.

@ericd7633 how did duke end up as the last 2 seed? I don't get it. IMO they should have been ahead of at least Louisville and Kentucky.

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.

Gophers had higher rpi

Only 1 win over a tourney team Wichita State but and got killed by Wichita team twice. Illinois also had a really really bad loss to sub 200 RPI Murray State.

Yeah, when looking at their schedule, it's kind of easy to see why they were a bubble team that didn't make it...even with a nice amount of wins.

I thought Minnesota should've been 6 or a 7

Thought badgers were in 5-7 range

But mtsu is tough draw, they'll be popular pick

 

[PnkPanther]

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.

If that white stiff keeps drilling 3s....

@ericd7633 how did duke end up as the last 2 seed? I don't get it. IMO they should have been ahead of at least Louisville and Kentucky.

They were 3rd to last. Ahead of UL

Vandy was the highest 9. What a crock of shit

Based on what Hollis said, it looks like they were capped at a 2 seed even with the run they went on. Said they got no further than Arizona.

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

I remember taking Seton Hall + 2.5 for 500x . Game was tied like 5 seconds on clock and if Mich gets a 2 win by the hook. Glen Rice decides he wants to take a 3 and my heart stopped and that shot was in slow motion, My ex-wife knew something was up by the look on my face. Thank god he misssed, Mich grabbed the rebound and got fouled and made both free throws, that 1/2 was a 5250 swing, biggest one game bet ever for me

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Does anyone know when they release game times?

Should be soon.

Still surreal to see the Gophers on the 5 line. What a fucking season.

 

[ericd7633]

Gophers open up as a 1 point favorite over MTSU.
