FIFY

Are they doing the turrible 2 hour show again? Seems like it is starting early.

Hour and a half.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Just hope Wisconsin and Michigan don't go into overtime at 45 points apiece.

"College Basketball Christmas Eve," I like to call it.

Except for the bunch of kids who are gonna get rocks in their socks. Bad boys.

 

[bsaltyman]

I remember in the past there have been selection show watch parties at Hilton. Any idea if they will do that again?

 

[LindenCy]

Hour and a half.

So maybe the seeds will be leaked after 45 min?

Lunardi moved ISU to a 5 seed. Still working on mine but I think that's the seed they get also

I don't mind a 5 at all, but I hope it isn't in the bracket he has us in (and obviously it's just for fun at this point).

He should flip us and Florida at the 5 seed.
Let Florida play in Orlando in the South Region and give us Milwaukee in the Midwest. But, that would make too much sense I guess.

The only one recently was for our first trip back to the Dance. Haven't done it since, so I wouldn't count on it.

I do not want Middle Tennessee St. Good thing for us, Lunardi isnt very good at his job.

I saw on /r/collegebasketball that they plan to have everything out in the first 30 minutes of the show or so. Last hour for analysis.

 

[isufbcurt]

I hope they get to the brackets early, I have to drive to Indiana tonight and am not leaving until the brackets are released.

 

[67CY]

Watching ESPN right now. Never have been able to stand Reese Davis or whatever his name is. Don't know how those other guys put up with him or how he keeps his job.

 

[awd4cy]

I think we're deserving of a 5

i don't see that happening again unless we go 7+ years without making the tourney to finally making it again like in 2012.

 

[NWICY]

Holy cow CBS still has Iowa on the first 4/5 out.

Good. That's how they've done it every other year except for the debacle last year.

If we are a five seed, this is despite our #105 nonconf schedule.

Omaha #140
Mt St Marys #157
UMKC #186
Indiana State #233
Savannah State #283
Drake #315
MVSU #333
Gonzaga #10
Miami #41
Vanderbilt # 39
The Citadel #275
Iowa #81
Cincinati #13

Looks like The Citadel, Drake, MVSU, Savannah State were big losers to play which ultimately affects our RPI. Missouri rolls in at #233. Suggest we drop MVSU as a payday for them despite who our coaches our buds with. Could add Creighton, Colorado State, South Dakota State, Rutgers, Nebraska, George Mason, North Dakota State, or Oakland for starters to replace the duds.

4,5 or 6,dont care. Just hoping for reasonable match ups in our first two. We are playing well, so certainly we can beat anyone but a nice sweet 16 path would be good so we can be ready to bust down that door to the 8! GO CYCLONES!

It's crazy that a month ago we were arguing whether if this team would get in with a 9-9 record.
