Apparently, Kentucky is the worst of the 4 seeds. I guess rolling through the SEC tourney didn't do us any good. Will Florida get a 3?

 

[jjasper]

LOL Vandy is done.

They don't rank the seeds in the tournament after the 1s.

 

[jobber]

Vandy goin down

 

[jakncoke]

Illinois a 9.. rest easy there

 

[pxleyes]

Wow with vandy getting a five, but they are fucked.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

OMG if we can get past the 1st round we can be Bill Self's next Bucknell!

 

[Seth C]

Seriously, can one of the smaller schools from Kentucky PLEASE get in the tournament and not get fucked out in the the first round by Kentucky or Louisville? There are 65 other teams to match Morehead State up against.

They don't rank the seeds in the tournament after the 1s.

Yes and no. The best #1 gets the worst #2, the best #3, and the worst #4. Using the S curve. Teams can be moved if needed for regions, but that is the general goal.

 

[jakncoke]

Duke might be in trouble in the second round. Michigan nearly beat Kansas and then Ohio St in consecutive games.

Of course, we could be in trouble against Nova in the second round too.

wouldn't worry. nova isn't that good and forget to guard the 3 a lot

 

[Proelite]

We get Uconn and Texas?


FFFFFUUUUUUUUU.

 

[Sir Pant]

Mizzou over cincy easy

Even so, then we'd face Uconn...and that ain't happening.

 

[jobber]

WAT VCU doesn't deserve to get in a play in game!

 

[ErasureAcer]

VCU YES YES YES~!

Morehead State has a rough game with Louisville...ouch.

 

[SyNapSe]

I think for KU that's a favorable run except the 2nd round game, which could be pretty tough.

The NCAA hates Kentucky, the whole state.

 

[DarkWish]

VCU!!! GO RAMS!!! My school made it!

 

[Knux-Future]

Frank Martin will kill someone if they don't get it.

Dude looks capable.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Illinois a 9.. rest easy there

On the one hand: WOOHOO!

On the other hand: Damnit, our strategy to tank and avoid the 8/9 game failed, and UNLV is good. One and done. Maybe UNLV can beat Kansas for us, because we sure wouldn't be able to.

Oh well, still better than another NIT Final Four. *barf*

 

[Seth C]

It just sucks because I'd like to cheer on the other state teams, especially the small ones. Like my alma matter EKU, when they got in once in a generation, they had to play Kentucky in the first round. It's just obnoxious.

 

[pxleyes]

Looks like we have a strong VCU contingent.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Anyone gonna run a gaf-bracket challenge?

There should be one up...it's a gaf tradition.

 

[jjasper]

Yes and no. The best #1 gets the worst #2, the best #3, and the worst #4. Using the S curve. Teams can be moved if needed for regions, but that is the general goal.

They don't. They do it entirely based on locating. The only teams that are lined up are the overall #1 plays the 4th #1 and 2 and 3 #1s play.

 

[Ihateyouchris]

Go VCU!

 

[jakncoke]

Butler or Old Dominion 2nd round hmm

 

[bucknuticus]

Ksu a 5? Lmao

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Uh oh... Blacksburg... I smell trouble.

 

[SyNapSe]

I actually think the Illini are a pretty dangerous opponent. I know people are upset with the seniors but when McCamey does show up, he can make that team pretty tough. I think he makes them a bit of a wild card. When he has his not playing moments Paul can't really carry them but when he's on they're tough.

 

[jakncoke]

lol utah st. wasn't to cheerful there

 

[jjasper]

Damn FL with a 2.

Edit: Sorry Bama and VT

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Butler or Old Dominion 2nd round hmm

ODU. They've been good to my bracket historically.

 

[bucknuticus]

Uf a 2 lmfao what a complete joke

 

[Knux-Future]

wat?

how is Florida a 2 when they lost to Kentucky a 4?

the hell?

 

[Schlookum]

Florida as a 2?????????

 

[Seth C]

They don't. They do it entirely based on locating. The only teams that are lined up are the overall #1 plays the 4th #1 and 2 and 3 #1s play.

If that's the case then when did they stop using an s-curve? They absolutely always have before, so unless you have evidence they have stopped doing so, I'm afraid you're wrong.

Also, as a top 4 seed, if locating is key, why is Kentucky in Tampa rather than any of the 4 other sites closer to Lexington?

 

[HeySeuss]

Wow at Florida at 2.

 

[pxleyes]

Woah!!!!!!!!!! A 2 seed?! Um thanks NCAA.

 

[Silkworm]

Florida as a 2?????????

Muhahah! ;-) Go Gators!

 

[SyNapSe]

Wow UF at a 2 with brutal losses to OSU and Kentucky. I'm not sure about that...

 

[giga]

smh

 

[Schlookum]

wat?

how is Florida a 2 when they lost to Kentucky a 4?

the hell?

Lost to Kentucky twice in a months time

 

[Ihateyouchris]

Poor Virginia Tech....

 

[jobber]

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA Va Tech got shut out but VCU getting a play in game is even more comical

 

[HeySeuss]

Pitt with almost a free pass to the final four.

We're pretty dangerous in a "play you close" sort of way, but not in a "actually get the win" sort of way.

We'll lose to UNLV by a couple of points.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Blacksburg bubble burst again.

 

[Sir Pant]

surprised Colorado got snubbed- Oh well, off to the PAC10 with you!

 

[jjasper]

If that's the case then when did they stop using an s-curve? They absolutely always have before, so unless you have evidence they have stopped doing so, I'm afraid you're wrong.

A few years ago when UT was up for a 1 seed they got stuck in UNC the number 1 overall's bracket and they bitched enough that the NCAA released a statement saying they only aligned the 1 seed and they put us in UNC's bracket so we could be close to Knoxville.

 

[sf2fanatic]

UCLA

 

[Silkworm]

Lost to Kentucky twice in a months time

As long as UF doesn't have to play UK (or a team with UK's similar makeup) they really aren't so bad ;-) Glad to see UF get a 2 seed. Last year didn't know if they would get in, but got a 10 seed, but then lost to BYU. Hopefully this year they'll avoid any potential pitfalls and prove that they are worthy of this years seeding.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

So with Florida a 2 in Pittsburgh's region, is Duke off the hook?

 

[Talon]

Damn, the East is stacked.

Southeast seems like a good ride for Pitt. Perfectly set up for my bracket to get Dixed.
