So does the selection show get pushed back if this goes to overtime?

Yep.

I'm not a huge fan of this whole "Play our conference championship until 20 minutes before the Selection Sunday show" but the B1G gonna B1G.

 

[Jarate]

Good game so far

I think Wiscy gets the 1 seed regardless.

The first shoe drops in the Tom Crean saga... Grant fired at Alabama

https://twitter.com/JonSolomonCBS/status/577216696320012288

I really thought after the job he did at VCU that he would have done well at Bama, but was I way wrong. Other than UK and UF, Alabama is one of the few SEC schools that actually gets NBA talent every now and then.

 

[RellyRell28]

I'm so impressed with Hayes improved jump shooting this year.

 

[Jarate]

EZnark cab we play our madden game after the selection show

 

[eznark]

^ No, the vance will have happened. Want to sim it?

In today's economy SEC schools can really only afford multimillion dollar player contracts in one sport per school.

Sparty #34 is the Wisconsin MVP

 

[nillapuddin]

34-0

Such a good game. Anytime the boys needed to answer the bell they did. This team is special.

 

[RellyRell28]

Koenig wow that was amazing.

Well they did alright in the 90's with both sports, so it must be the inflation.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Welp.

Thanks Obama

Ballgame

 

[JABEE]

It's over

 

[NewLib]

Why would Alabama hire Crean over Prohm who is 1) an alum and 2) a better coach?

 

[RellyRell28]

We put the clamps on them in OT. They can't make anything right now.

Michigan St. gonna drag this out now

 

[truly101]

Almost time to see who is going to bounce Duke in the first weekend. CAN'T WAIT!

 

[eznark]

Good lord Michigan State completely collapsed. Great coaching job, Izzo!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

If you are eating right now, click a different tab or turn away from your screen.









Seriously.












You've been warned.

 

[reKon]

So many garbage ass calls lmao w/e

 

[BJK]

I have never seen a team get shut out in OT.

Go Badgers!

Nooooooooo. She wasn't ready.

Going to watch Cleveland/Orlando on NBA TV.

I'll check back in to confirm Duke is the 16 in Kentucky's region.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Bo looks like King Koopa. I feel like he's gonna blow fireballs at me.

 

[RellyRell28]

It's not football season so I'll co-sign EZ

 

[DominoKid]

damnit Grover i figured we all had the good judgement to not post that.

@ESPNStatsInfo: Michigan State's 0 points in OT are tied for the fewest all-time by any team in an OT period

This is a real tweet.

Lmfao

 

[chicko1983]

Well done Kentucky. Any chance of them choking in the Tourney or are they exceptionally good?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

My body's ready for all the salty tears when Duke gets a 1 seed and people start claiming East Coast Bias/Duke-ESPN industrial complex/Committee Agenda/Illuminati like they do every year.

 

[JABEE]

Villanova is guaranteed a number one seed?

 

[bucknuticus]

The tourneys unpredictable, thus why the ncaa tournament is the best thing in sports. Just takes one team to get hot at the right time to fuck everything up.

So let me get this, even though a team wins their conference championship, they are not guaranteed top seed from their conference?

Im sort of new to college hoops (Im an Aussie) but want to watch follow the Tournament this year as I caught the end of last years and was interested.

 

[Fjordson]

I think the 1 seeds will be UK, Nova, Wiscy and Virginia or Arizona.

When was the last time a defending champ didn't make the tourney. I would give the defending champs a chance to defend their title at least if I were on the committee

Kentucky =[ went to the NIT after the '12 title. We didn't deserve to be in the tourney that year.

 

[bucknuticus]

Current bracketology has us as a 9 playing UC and then UK in round 2 in Lexington.

/cry

Yeah, that's why I am buckling up for the ride this year. I only was sort of interested last year until the final four and then I realised that its pretty good fun to watch.

 

[eznark]

Kentucky, Nova, Wisconsin, Duke

 

[inm8num2]

Yup. Just look at UConn last year.

UK should win it all. They're the best team out there, but crazy shit happens. Nothing is guaranteed until someone cuts down the nets.

Yeah, it's a little weird. The conference tourneys don't always directly translate to the NCAA tourney. There's a committee that forms the brackets and at the end of the day it's up to their subjective judgment as far as who deserves what seeds.

 

[Snwaters]

Kinda sad that my university has not, and probably will not in the foreseeable future, make the tournament. Guess I'll be pulling for Villanova; be interesting to see how far they can go.

Generally a team that wins their conference tournament and had the best record in the conference in the regular season gets a 1 seed.

The last team to do both and not get a 1 seed was Miami two years ago.

At the same time, it is pretty rare to see a 1 seed given to a team that didn't win their conference championship or regular season title, the last teams to do that were Pittsburgh and Connecticut in 2009.

 

[Fjordson]

Nice, no D'angelo Russell for UK's second game. Thanks committee.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Buffalo can win that one.

 

[thefro]

Purdue could give Kentucky a tough game... they've got the size to matchup with 7-0 Hammons and 7-2 Haas

 

[DominoKid]

wow Kentucky's bracket is free.

 

[RellyRell28]

Will we're not the 2 seed in Kentucky's bracket at least. Good sign of a 1 seed maybe
