I'm so glad that Indiana fucked themselves out of the overall No. 1.

 

[Fjordson]

I like that bracket for Miami. Potential final four run.

 

[TheNatural]

Well, we're in the West.

What's our seed gonna be?

3 probably. You're going to be the click to pick with Zaga and New Mexico as likely 1 and 2. I can't believe they're basically seeding these teams to bracket though, just because it's the West region. Duke was way fucking better than New Mexico on the S curve IMO.

 

[Gorillaz]

got damn it I knew OSU would get pushed into the west coast :/

 

[perfectchaos007]

The Pac-12 is kind of sh*t this year.

Mountain West Conference > Pac-12? Damn they are down. So far the Pac-12 already has 3 teams in so they're doing better than last year

edit: 4 teams

 

[Elfforkusu]

Well, we're in the West.

What's our seed gonna be?

#2 or #3 opposite New Mexico, Gonzaga is the #1.

Wiscy will be a #4 or #5, but who cares since they'll lose quick anyway.

 

[W1SSY]

I like the road Indiana has.
Now just time to find out if the Zags get a #1 or OSU.

 

[RPG]

Hell yes, first time in 50 years for back to back tourneys for the CU Buffs.

 

[Nesotenso]

man, UNC again ?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Gonzaga is the last 1.

 

[TheNatural]

Pitt over Gonzaga. Book it.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Don't forget Tyler "Reggie Miller" Thornton raining threes from the wings.

He should back up six feet just to make it fair.

 

[Gorillaz]

Kansas v Wisconsin?

 

[chuckddd]

My mattress is ready for a play-in game matchup of La Salle vs Boise State.

RIP lush's sleep.

 

[jjasper]

 

[BertramCooper]

Sweet, we got a 2.

And we get to play in Dayton! Nice.

 

[lush]

Well, I guess it's best to schedule garbage OOC and rack up those Ws.

 

[Gorillaz]

So I guess Kentucky might not make it?

 

[McNei1y]

We're better than those last in teams. Booooo

 

[TheNatural]

OK who's the most bubbilicious team that busted? Time to hear some Vitale rants.

 

[jjasper]

Oh well hopefully Maymon comes back next year healthy. Really don't agree with those teams above us in the play in games but really what can you do? Shouldn't be in that position in the first place.

 

[W1SSY]

So I guess Kentucky might not make it?

Did anyone predict them getting in?

 

[Elfforkusu]

Kansas St v Wisconsin?

Weber VS Bo!

Prepare yourselves for a 41-40 final

 

[Gorillaz]

Did anyone predict them getting in?

had some friends believe they would. They have been too wishy washy tho

 

[eBay Huckster]

lol did he seriously just pick NM to get to the final four

 

[jakncoke]

had some friends believe they would. They have been too wishy washy tho

Would your friends be Kentucky fans ?

 

[thefro]

Now just time to find out if the Zags get a #1 or OSU.

I do too... Miami will be a tough matchup for us but I'd rather play them than some of the other 2s.

We'd match up well with UNLV or Syracuse, I think.

 

[TheNatural]

Southern Miss is grinding their teeth over that horrible clusterfuck yesterday.

 

[Gorillaz]

Would your friends be Kentucky fans ?

lol sort of, chick at my job has a crush on the players on the team

 

[jjasper]

Seth Davis's argument is flawed since we played a better OOC than all the play in teams in. Had more top 50 wins than MTSU and St. Mary's combined.

 

[jakncoke]

lol sort of, chick at my job has a crush on the players on the team

lol'd

 

[TheNatural]

I think the toughest potential matchup for us is whoever we could face in the Elite 8. Either Duke, or Michigan State - who will bring fans to Indy once again.

If we can get past that game, I think we win the championship. Having already played Mizzou is huge, and Pitino preps like a mother fucker for the Sweet 16.

 

[bucknuticus]

I like our chances coming out of the west, Iowa st 2nd round could be rough.

 

[Fjordson]

Cats are out. Finally the suspense is over.

Wonder what Cal will do with the NIT invitation.

 

[Gorillaz]

lol'd

I know right lol

I like our chances coming out of the west, Iowa st 2nd round could be rough.

That Iowa v Norte Dome is an attention grabber. Either way it will be an interesting match up for us

 

[Grover Cleveland]

McDermott's going to score 100 fucking points against us. Feels bad man

 

[perfectchaos007]

Out of the 21 DI college institutions that play NCAA basketball in the state of Texas, none of them made it in this years NCAA tournament. First time that has happened since 1977 when brackets were only 32 teams. Guess our state should stick to football.

 

[TheNatural]

So who's going to make the official thread in OT so we can move the discussion over to the casuals? LOL

 

[jakncoke]

At least Pitt made it! woooooo

 

[McNei1y]

Creighton is going all the way.

Fuck I hate the NIT but Maryland blew shit this entire ACC season.

 

[chuckddd]

UNM's going to lose that 2nd round game to 'Zona. Just so everyone is ready.

Yeah... I feel like the first 2 weekends are always a total crapshoot. Then in the final four the best team there usually wins.

 

[jakncoke]

So who's going to make the official thread in OT so we can move the discussion over to the casuals? LOL

Also someone gotta make the bracket challenge

 

[chuckddd]

I have to head out for a few. I'll do the thread and challenge if no one steps up in the next hour or so.

 

[Kevtones]

Gottlieb doing work for Oregon. Thank you.

And FUCK YOU NCAA.

[jjasper]

This argument from the committee basically shits in the face of OOC. Play a bunch of shit teams on the road is the way to go.

 

[Surge]

I really have no idea who I'm picking to win the NC this season.

My picks should be fucked by the second weekend as usual though lol

 

[McNei1y]

This argument from the committee basically shits in the face of OOC. Play a bunch of shit teams on the road is the way to go.

Win on the road against shit teams > winning against great teams regardless of home/away

 

[Grover Cleveland]

The committee basically laid out the red carpet for Miami to get to the Elite 8. I'm sure they'll take being a 2 when they have this bracket. Especially when the alternative was probably going out to Cali for the regionals.

And the committee seems to favor wins over anybody on the road over good wins at home or neutral courts.

 

[jjasper]

Also this year apparently head to head matter. They really need to get this shit standardized instead of changing each new committee head.
