I feel confident the selection committee did not watch any of our games. How the hell did we pull a #7 seed?

Blown away that Florida and GT got in and we didn't.
Onto the NIT with traditional powers UNC, UConn, and Arizona!
I like what I saw from the team in the B10 tourney. Hopefully this breaks their hearts and we come out next year guns blazing.
Kentucky is fucked. That is a tough bracket.

Sorry about your luck.
About Kentucky's bracket, Im actually not too worried. Texas and Wake Forest might be playing like the two worst at large in the tournament the last month. Temple and Wisconsin really dont send chills down my spine. WVU is going to be tough but I expected it.
Kansas got fucked. Maryland and Izzo in their half with Georgetown and Ohio State in the bottom.
Florida basically got in because of our hard OOC schedule (especially when compared to the other bubble teams). The fact that we were a 10 seed also probably means we were in once we beat Auburn in the first round of the SEC tournament.
The NCAA essentially punished the SEC last year because so many teams schedule cupcakes. The SEC commissioner told all SEC teams to make their schedules harder. Florida did, while others didn't like Miss. St. Miss St. had a great run recently, but I don't think the NCAA wanted to send a message that it was okay to schedule cupcakes all throughout November and December. Not to mention how godawful the SEC West was this year and Miss. St's decent conference schedule was due to them being able to play the crappy West teams twice.

wow, Illinois got screwed. Minnesota got in because they beat down a hummel-less Purdue, oh well. Good luck to KU and UK, the two best teams get paired with the two toughest 2 seeds, though I think KU can still take down OSU.

Yeah we got screwed. Apparently the best thing that could have happened to us was getting the 6th seed in the BT tourney so we could have faced an easy win against Penn State in the 1st round and then weakened MSU and Purdue squads. smh
On the bright side this was the last of a string of mediocre seasons. The next 4 years are going to be about as good as the last have been bad.

meh, I thought wins vs Vanderbilt, @clemson, vs MSU, @Wisconsin, and vs Wisconsin would've been good enough, but looking at their espn page they do have quite a bit of questionable losses.

Well I just bought tickets for the Thursday 12pm game and Thursday 6pm game in New Orleans. My sister goes to Sam Houston St. so we both have reason to go lol.

really enjoyed this year of college ball. first year in a long while i've enjoyed this much really. definitely has a lot to do with the way UK is playing, of course.
i told some people at dinner this: i would rather have had the fun team to watch we've had this year and lose in the first round of the tournament than to have another boring-ass team like we've had the past ten years and have them win it all. those were laborious, dreadful teams to watch much of the time. i like basketball teams that are fast, and fun. we just played a boring slow game of basketball for much of the late nineties and most of this decade.

Miss St. fucked themselves. They are a great team when they show up to play Kentucky, but scheduled cupcakes like Rider and then lost to them in their OOC. I don't feel bad for them one bit not getting in even though they damn near beat us twice. If they brought that kind of intensity to the rest of their schedule they wouldn't even be in the bubble position to start with, and that's a lesson that most of the rest of the SEC can learn. They play their best damn games of the year when UK comes to down, but don't do shit in the OOC or in their division. I guess we really are most of the bottom half the conference's Super Bowl.

What team are you a fan of, exactly? We shared one opponent with Kansas and won 2 of 3, including a 29 point win. We lost two fucking games all year, and we would spank the fuck out of Ohio State 9 times out of 10.

If the rest of the SEC played every game the way they do against Kentucky we would have 6 SEC teams in the tournament every year. Mississippi State spent the whole season, save two games, dicking around losing games. It's pathetic.

We can't host our 1st round game due to a scheduling conflict. Cirque Du Soleil booked Assembly Hall.
I guess those in charge thought we'd be off in the NCAA's playing elsewhere.
Ohio State played the hardest schedule in the NCAA in which I would say is the hardest division. The SEC and ACC are really weak this year. I would say they would get destroyed by most Big East and Big 10 teams. Kentucky had a weak schedule and struggled in most of their wins. Even though they are classified as a top 1 team, I would say those 2 teams are not likely to make it in the final four or elite eight.Seth C said:

Good luck Illini.
When do the times of games come out for the NCAA bracket?

RPI Saaaayyyys...SEC is better than Big Ten. I know you love your conference, but the Big Ten blows. Ohio State is decent, Purdue sucks, Michigan State is falling apart, Indiana is one of the worst teams in any major conference. Ohio State's SOS is 63. 63! Hardest schedule in the country? Where are you pulling this stuff from? Ohio State played one team in the RPI Top 10. They lost. They played 6 teams in the RPI Top 20. They lost 4.

How can anyone say UK is one of the worst # 1 seeds in a while, they have more future NBA players than any team in the country, and more than all the final four teams from last year excluding UNC.

That gif was EMASCULATING.
I personally despise RPI because I'm a pac 10 fan and they were bad but they aren't as horrible as march madness is making them out to be. Ohio St in reality lost 4 games (one against west virginia, and purdue which both should be in elite 8). The kentucky jayhawks won most of their games but also struggled big time in their schedule.

Actually the best part was seeing Jarvis "the refs won't blow the whistle on me" Vanardo for the last time. Dude does get his blocks but he fouls on tons of them without a call being made.Seth C said:
