Here comes the bitch made "I'm not gonna let you tie it" foul strategy. Damn, if there's one rule the NCAA should change, it's this. Or at least call it what it is: an intentional foul. Because that's what they always are.

 

[TheNatural]

Holy shit they almost tied it. Wow that would have been nuts if it went.

 

[Surge]

Damn so close

 

[lazybones18]

Congrats Ole Miss

 

[DominoKid]

florida some choking dogs.

 

[chuckddd]

Letting a team from Mississippi win your conference...shameful.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Holy FUCK that was so close!!!!

Oh Florida, same old soft ass Florida. Obviously it's all about matchups but no way they do anything in March.

Glad Andy Kennedy avoids getting fired with this automatic birth.

SEC is a shameful conference this year.

It's alright, UK will restore the natural balance of things next year.

In other news, who is going to make the NCAA Tourney thread when the bracket comes out?

Well are you going to start calling intentional fouls on teams when they are fouling when behind?

They didn't win the conference. They won the league's tournament bid.

I wouldn't mind the option being there to take the ball out of bounds instead of shooting FT's.

Yeah, I can't see Florida making another Elite Eight with their inconsistency.

Still shameful.

Hotty toddy fuck yes.

LOL.

Aaron Gordon (top 5 recruit) announcing his decision at McDonald's All American game April 3rd.

Between Arizona, Washington, and UK. Most people see him staying on the west coast, but UK is the dark horse with Wiggins probably going to UNC or FSU.

 

[chuckddd]

Happy for St. Louis and the ghost of Rick Majerus.

 

[Crisco]

Wait, Ohio State vs Wisconsin? Jesus christ, the only losers are the viewers.

 

[truly101]

I do not want Ol' Miss or Belmont in our bracket. I expect both to be in our bracket.

 

[Cubsfan23]

It's pretty obvious Lundardi just gets info from committee sources

has duke at #1 yesterday, even after the kansas win, all of a sudden Kansas is #1 now. A bunch of other teams have randomly dropped or risen for no reason.

 

[Crisco]

I mean, of course he does. They've said as much on ESPN.

 

[truly101]

I just noticed NCA&T made the tourney. Aggie pride

 

[jjasper]

If he does then why over the last few years has he done worse on average than Yahoo's and CBS's dudes?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

If he does then why over the last few years has he done worse on average than Yahoo's and CBS's dudes?

Committee members feeding him wrong information just to fuck with him

Miami's win is big. Their resume trumps Gonzaga imo, they won the reg season and conference tournament of a much better league. They beat MSU out of conference which is better than any win Gonzaga has.
They should be the 1 seed out West with Gonzaga the 2 seed.

Kansas will be the 1 seed in the South. Question comes where do they put Louisville and IU.

I think Louisville will be the number one overall seed, which they've earned, so geographically that means they get the Midwest Region (Indy). Indiana thus gets the East number one seed.

Could look something like this -
Midwest
1 - Louisville
2 - OSU
3 - Florida
4 - Saint Louis

West
1 - Miami
2 - Gonzaga
3 - New Mexico
4 - Michigan

East
1 - Indiana
2 - Duke
3 - Marquette (this is the real question mark....maybe Wisconsin gets a 3 if they win today, though theyd have to move the other 3 seeds around in that case to avoid Wisconsin and Indiana being in the same region)
4 - Syracuse/Kansas St (Lunardi has K State as a 3...that seems high based on the numbers but we'll see)

South
1 - Kansas
2 - Georgetown
3 - Michigan State
4 - Wisconsin

 

[bachikarn]

fucking ole miss roosters

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

I'd be ecstatic if we get the 2 in the East region. I might even be able to go the games.

 

[Gorillaz]

ohio state is passing like shit right now....

Floooop

Wiscy will always have a team thats whiter than people think our team is.

I don't post in here much, you guys usually do an online bracket group?

And gg Miami, you played a great game.

With that user name, you should post here all the time.

And, yes, we'll have a gaf bracket challenge.

Man, dat username. Should post here more often.

And yeah, I remember we had a bracket thing going last year. Sure we'll have one up.

Dont see why Baylor deserves at large bid. 3-11 against top rpi teams and just 18-14 doesnt seem at large worthy

It's alright, UK will restore the natural balance of things next year.

With Mizzou pulling in at a respectable second place I hope.

It is only selection Sunday and I'm already depressed about the season ending. Probably because I don't think Mizzou will make it out of the first weekend.

Did someone say they did? I don't think they are even in the conversation.

 

[Fjordson]

?

Just saw on the Catspause boards that ESPN currently has Baylor in. Not sure how or why. No way Baylor should be in.

With Mizzou pulling in at a respectable second place I hope.

Haha, hey Mizzou could win it next year. I'm talking big now, but this year for UK showed that 5 star freshmen doesn't guarantee you shit. Hope our team next year will gel better since we could be starting 5 freshmen (which makes me really nervous).

Scott Drew probably paid someone off. He's good at that.

Lunardi must be getting fed some more misinformation. Or some good information. Get ready for the bubble bitching!

Their coach and espn were talking about it

Honestly, not sure you deserve to be in the tournament at all. Should be sitting at home with us.

 

[bucknuticus]

Bo Ryan is such a douche.

I expect them to take a marginal step back next year, at least early, because they are losing all of their inside presence. They'll be extremely young in the post, and the post is where they have won games all year. I honestly think Frank Haith has the recruiting ability to bring in talent that can compete with UK, I just don't think he has the coaching ability right now.

Edit: Just out of curiosity, do you guys expect any of your main guys from this year to stick around for next year? Team could be nasty if so.

Honestly, not sure you deserve to be in the tournament at all. Should be sitting at home with us.

Nah we're a solid lock for an 8-9 seed. Wins over Florida, VCU, Illinois, 23-10 record, no RPI >100 losses (bad losses). Top 30 in most (every?) computer ranking.

Edit: 35 in RPI, 24 in BPI, 18 in KenPom

He gets a lot of hate but I always enjoyed his show on ESPN radio.
