***OFFICIAL SELECTION SUNDAY THREAD***

[Cyclonesince78]

Every single analyst on ESPN is picking ISU to get to the elite 8.

 

[UraMallas]

Every single bracketoligist has ISU v MSU with MSU winning the game and winning the title. I swear to God if that happens (again) I will punch a baby.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Every single guy on ESPN bracketology has us to the Elite Eight before losing to Michigan State. I will take that as a favorable draw.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

And they are all also picking MSU to win it all. ****

Damn you fast typer

 

[DurangoCy]

We're screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd take a rematch of 2000. Revenge time.

 

[atlantacyclone]

If we make it to the elite 8 that means that we are playing well... If we are playing well NOBODY can beat us....

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Damn we getting some respect. We could beat MSU though, but it will be tough.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Well, don't say ESPN doesn't respect the hell out of us this year. They just think the Spartans are going to win the title.

 

[DurangoCy]

Let's just get it on then.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Hoiberg would have to work some magic to outcoach the 2nd best coach in the country (Izzo)

Exactly. If being projected to match our all time best performance is a bad thing, our expectations may be out of touch with reality. I don't like seeing them in our bracket, but the road was not going to be easy regardless.

One of the hottest teams entering the Tournament and no mention Pat?

Y YOU HATE AMES FORDE?!?!

Y! SPORTS

 

[dualthreat]

NC Carolina beat NC State

For NCCU, that game is probably a lot like the Iowa State game for UNI or Drake. "Super Bowl"

 

[cyclones500]

When was the last time a 3 won the NC?

UConn 2011

Prior to that, Florida 2006, Syracuse 2003.
