Selection Sunday-NCAA tournament thread

There are two 16 vs. 16 and 12 vs. 12 play-ins, no?

 

Gonzaga, Miami, Kansas, and Louisville all won their regular season and conference tourney titles. Why should Indians be a No. 1 seed?

 

They will just take an at large bid away. The current Big East auto bid stays and they will just add another one in.

 

They shouldn't be. Cleveland sucks.

 

I'm never ok with Illinois getting anything.

And Iowa should have already been out before it lost to MSU. An AQ would have been the only way they got in. Their best non-conference win was at home vs. Iowa State and their best conference win was home vs. Wisconsin.

Their other Big 10 wins were at Northwestern, home Penn State, home Northwestern, at Penn St., home Minnesota, home Purdue, home Illinois and home Nebraska. They were also 2-8 on the road.

With that resume I don't see how they would have even been on the bubble going into the Big 10 tournament.

 

Wouldn't surprise me to see Gonzaga bumped down to a No. 2 seed, with Miami taking their place as a No. 1. (with IU, Louisville and Kansas).

And that might be a good thing for the Zags ... give em a li'l chip on their shoulder.

 

See that coming too. Miami as No. 1 out west with the Zags No. 2.

I assume Louisville is the overall No. 1.

 

He is the ultimate snake-oil salesman.

Look at his Huckster's smile:



And here he is in his more natural look, as "smug guy":



Here he is as "coach who can teach his players a half-court offense, adjust to game situations, and consistently put together quality game plans":

 

Wow, Oregon a 12 despite winning the Pac-12 tourney. And St. Louis gets the 4.

 

Picks Game thread just bumped ... (Louisville is No. 1 overall seed BTW)

Carry on (and join the game when you can on Yahoo)

 

Tom Crean looks like Eric Cantor's douchebag brother.

 

This may not bode well for the Pac-12. And St. Mary's in a play-in, er, first round?
