*** Official SELECTION SUNDAY Thread ***

Michigan State getting a 9 seed is bull ****. They are 19-14. They shouldn't even be in the tournament, let alone a 9 seed.

It's no surprise if you look at who the head of the committee is.

Nevada is a decent but not scary first game. Decent Kenpom offense #34, but defense is #104. Should be able to spread them out and score. Purdue will be a bigger challenge with their bigs.

Baylor dunked on Iowa again.

 

[FDCy83]

On ESPN site for details of our game. It shows our a comparison of the last 5 games for each team, but ESPN has forgotten that we beat WVU yesterday.

 

[bosco]

Seth also completely dismissed OSU, talking a Louisville-Michigan matchup.

Seth is one of those guys who tries to pick all the upsets so when one finally hits he can show everyone how smart he is while the rest of his bracket is a wreck.

ISU doesn't have the best record of playing in guys home towns....this scares me.

Love Monte Mom shirts....I hope she can make one with Deonte's lazy ass pass to Monte with about 3 minutes left to go that got stolen and bunnied up for two easy points.........How can he be so lazy in the championship game?!?!?! Dude, you got 4 or 6 games left ever in the continental United States.....please wear that shirt the next few days and remember you are not playing pick up games at state gym.

I of course will have ISU into the Final Four.......but I don't begrudge anyone picking against us....Hell, Hampton, UAB, Virginia last year.....we have a record of not putting our best games out there on prime time.

When haven't we played well in hometowns?

Virginia was a 1 seed for ***** sake.

Deonte was great last night. Seems like an ******* move to ***** about him.

Purdue has to beat Vermont first.

It's looking like Nevada's ticket purchasing policies are a little more strict than Iona's were last year.

 

[Blandboy]

Hope not - I don't want to be the first game of the tournament again.

Seth Davis said he has been joking about his picks and not to take him serious.

What are Seth Davis' credentials? Wasn't he the last pick in the NFL draft?

Iowa State beats Duke 78-75, April 3rd, 2017. You heard it here first.

You're such a turd

Clark Kellogg gives us some more love...countering Davis' eastern bias.

 

[dualthreat]

Sorry if it's been discussed, but why the hell do they keep going on and on about why Duke isn't a #1 seed? Give their resume to any non-blue blood and that team wouldn't even be remotely in the discussion.

I think you answered your own question... because Duke..

 

[ianoconnor]

When will we know game time?

 

[bosco]

I still

I don't think so, but when WV faces Notre Dame, the refs will call all those holds and hand checks and WV will not stand a chance. That is what happens to teams that get away with that style of play in the Big 12. The first good team they play with non-Big 12 refs and they are done.

I still feel sorry for the teams that have to play them.

 

[ISU2]

intriguing potential upset vandy over zaga

 

[knowlesjam]

Purdue has to beat Vermont first.

True enough...Purdue' bigs should get it done. But, they also should have won last year...

When will we know game time?

ESPN is saying noon, but nobody actually knows right now.
