*** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

[1SEIACLONE]

The Athletic has us as a 4 seed in Milwaukee.

 

[BCClone]

If we're going to get ****** on seeding, at least give me Denver

If we get F’d they will put us in Witchita, because who the heck wants to hang out there?

 

[CySmurf]

I feel like we’re going to screwed.

I feel like we’re going to screwed.

Cyclones have felt that way for many a moon now.

 

[SolterraCyclone]

The Athletic has us as a 4 seed in Milwaukee.

That’s really unlikely, unless they have A&M ahead of us and one of Kentucky or Wisconsin below us.

Shocker fans of course

Why do all colleges love the 2 pink 1 stink hand sign?

 

[dahliaclone]

No it's because the media loves occasionally tourney team Drake.

Almost as much as some on here

 

[bsaltyman]

I think we will either be a 3 seed in Milwaukee or a 4 in Denver.

I’d say if we are a 3 we’d probably have a 2 seed in the bracket from the SEC… Alabama or Tennessee.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

Can we talk about how terrible the list of cities are this year?

Best to worst in order:

Cleveland
San Antonio
Denver
Seattle
Raleigh
Milwaukee
Indianapolis
Atlanta
Providence
San Francisco
Dayton
Wichita
Lexington
Newark

With all this talk about seeding and location...at this point I'm just hoping for a good TV time.

I don't mind Thurs-Sat - Saturday second round games are fun, and watching the rest of the first round on Friday if you've already won on Thursday is fantastic.

But if we do get Thursday I strongly prefer an evening/night tipoff.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

You should really consider booking the Denver security blanket

And done

If ISU is out west, then you have to think they would be the last game in each of the viewing windows.

 

[ISUChippewa]

I'm currently watching the Ivy League championship and I'm going to go ahead and say that Yale is another 13/14 seed I do not want to see us matched up against.

Well yeah. As they should be. They upset Auburn last year first round.

 

[BCClone]

I approve of the SEC championship sideline reporter.

Not how it works at all.

TV sets them, local time be damned. SLC started at 10:15 AM local time a couple years ago.

 

[AlaCyclone]

The Athletic has us as a 4 seed in Milwaukee.

That seems like a Solomonic decision!

 

[jdoggivjc]

That leaves the Florida region. Honestly - I'd rather have Auburn or Duke (since they'll probably avoid us facing Houston).

After watching Florida play today, I'll double down on this - Florida is the one #1 seed whose region I don't want us to be in.

 

[cal-cyclone]

With a little help from Michael McDonald!

this is it

It seems like we have to have variations of this conversation every year - generally what happens in the first and second rounds is independent of what happens in the regional rounds - and the NCAA dictates the schedule based on the particular locality, not the region. Which means, for example, say ISU is placed in the West region but first two rounds in Cleveland - they're not going to start us at 10:30 p.m. EDT because "it's a West region game"... hell - NO games are going to start at 10:30 p.m. EDT in Cleveland - that's asinine.

I honestly have no idea why people throw their common sense out the window when it comes to the NCAA Tournament - they've been doing it this way for like 20 years now, and it's honestly not that hard to figure out if you just simply pay attention to what's actually going on.
