*** Official SELECTION SUNDAY Thread ***

Seth Davis picking against us.

It's March. It's what he does. And 4 of the last 5 years he's looked like an idiot. Personally I think we're making the second weekend.

 

[Blandboy]

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

90 minutes

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

Purdue may easily get upset by a number 13

ISU has a great opportunity to get to the second week. Hope they capitalize.

 

[Althetuna]

I think we got a great seed.

 

[UraMallas]

I mean. It makes sense since all of these teams are from the Midwest.

 

[CycloneErik]

Hey - make it to the second weekend and we (potentially) get to beat KU a second time.

In Kansas City, right?

That would be a nice trip.

 

[Cy$]

How is there 3 Big 12 teams in this bracket?

I think this means that Kansas St. got in but yeah I don't know how it happened.

 

[Desiigner]

I'll take it over the east easily.

Purdue doesn't scare me but Kansas Louisville and Oregon do

Michigan is in for a surprise against OSU. Hope OSU comes out and punches them in the mouth.

 

[CarlHungus]

Not a huge fan of being in Kansas' region, just because part of the fun of the tournament is playing teams you don't see. That said, atmosphere would be nuts if that matchup happens

 

[awd4cy]

Nevada could be tough. Hope a lot of Cyclone fans are going Thursday.

 

[UraMallas]

I think we got a great seed.

Me, too. Purdue is probably the weakest 4 and we have already beaten KU this year. Would LOVE that matchup in KC - can you imagine? On the other side, Louisville is the weakest 2. We'll need a bit of luck, but there is a path.

EDIT: And Oregon has a major injury. This is a great region for us.

Kansas scares you?

 

[cyclonedave25]

Love how they are revealing the teams quicker this year. I guess they learned their lesson last year dragging it out and having the bracket get leaked on the internet.

 

[Beyerball]

West bracket is what i wanted...Prob Butler the 4 and Zaga the #1 seed..

Purdue is big but slow and if we are hitting our 3's we can beat Purdue..Don't know enough about Vermont other than Seth Davis loves them...

That's fair. KU isn't my first choice in a 1 seed, but we can beat them. Should be a good game if we (and they) get that far. Oregon/Louisville might be a tough one if we get that far, but it is the final 8 at that point.

Oregon is without their starting PG. We'd eat them alive.

We've beaten KU on their own home court and we've beaten them plenty of times over the last several years. Nothing KU does scares me anymore, especially when Big 12 refs aren't involved.

Louisville. That one would be interesting.

 

[Beyerball]

Did not want to face Middle Tenn State..

 

[ISUser]

Purdue scares the crap out of me if they advance. They were the potential #4 I wanted to see the least. Caleb Swanigan is the real deal and they have a lot of size inside. Teams like that have really given ISU fits this year.

Couldn't have asked for a better draw on the sites though.
