*** Official SELECTION SUNDAY Thread ***

Honestly would prefer that ISU swap KU seed lines if that bracket were the to come true. They'd still get Omaha as a 3, but IMO an easier path to final 4 as a 3 seed, than we would as a 2 seed. ND and UK would be much harder outs to get to the final 4 than the Zags and Virginia (Especially with Anderson still looking a bit iffy).

You never know, but I think the committee will really reward KU for scheduling a difficult non-con, and not dropping any games against super high RPI opponents.


This is why they get the 2 seed over us.
 
This day is like Christmas in March for me! Only difference is I have to wait until the afternoon instead of unwrapping the presents in the morning.
 
I will be shocked if we get the 2 seed over KU.

They did win the regular season title, they played a LOT tougher non-conference schedule, AND they are Kansas of course, that doesn't hurt.

I'm not saying we don't deserve it, because I think we're playing better than them right now, are healthier, and don't have a guy sitting out for ineligibility issues.
 
This will be the 33rd consecutive year I have watched Selection Sunday show live. I never miss it. 11 years ago, I was in the hospital and I told them that I didn't want them to schedule any procedures at 5pm. When I first started dating my wife, she wanted to go somewhere to eat. I told her that was fine, but we had to go after Selection Sunday. She didn't understand then, but she knows now.
 
Isn't it great hearing bubble coaches stating their cases to be in and we have nothing to worry about? 60 and sunny in Iowa today with a 2/3 seed coming in 7 hours.
 
Anyone else watching College Basketball Live on ESPN2? This Greg Shaheen fella has a massive set of balls on him to put himself in the position he's in. Bilas, right, wrong or indifferent, is hammering him. Rece Davis is also taking some shots.
 
MUCH rather have more favorable matchups than worry about our location (Omaha). Give me a bracket not in Kentucky's region with Gonzaga as our opposite 2/3 seed all day long.
 
Does Omaha = Kentucky's region? If so, screw Omaha.

Does 2 seed = Kentucky's region? If so, screw the 2 seed.

Give me a 3 seed in a "******" region.

I have, it started off talking about isu and ND possibly taking a 2 seed from Zags.

Jay bilas never listens to someone else's opinion, he's kind of an ***. He's a smart guy, but if you don't agree with him and his agenda, you are wrong in his eyes and will do everything his power to show it
