[Aclone]

Do we want Drake or wash st. Watched no pac 12 bball so no idea about them.

Why do you think it matters?

 

[madguy30]

Keep doubting them, committee. It was never going to be easy, but that part of the bracket seems purposely awkward.

3 teams that only need to travel a few hours by bus and one from Washington State for two rounds.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Houston is going to destroy Nebraska if they get that far

 

[Cydewayz]

Will just make the wins that much better.

Yep...we just steamrolled 3 in a row. Let's do it again.

Kind of want Drake and want to boat race them. Hawks will be all kind of rooting against us and wanting Devries.

 

[HouClone]

Hope TJ gets Gilbert (who looked pissed) and crew motivated.

 

[cyclonestunners]

Has more to do with being against the overall #1, and then a good shot of vs Drake on Saturday. Sprinkle in a chance of BYU in sweet 16.

That part doesn't bother me. We get to the E8? Gravy! I don't think we get there when we play Drake round 2. Absolutely brutal.

 

[JP4CY]

I can't believe how many people are scared of SDSU and WSU. Come on guys.

It's the East.
ISU crushed the B12.
Auburn crushed the SEC.
Illinois crushed the B1G.
Uconn crushed the BE.

It's loaded.

 

[Malone]

Clark Kellogg is a c*nt and I'm tired of his stupid overdog face and worthless thoughts

 

[jdoggivjc]

i don't think people are scared but the fact our first opponent and possible second opponent are actually both closer to the location than a 2 seed is yeah...kinda ******* stupid.

Yeah, it's not that I'm scared of SDSU, WSU, or Drake - I'm not. But it doesn't make it any less of a slap in the face by the committee.

 

[Clonehomer]

Marquette got a cake walk

 

[jsb]

We are a great team and should win, but common Drake in Omaha? And Drake is no slouch and very well coached.

And it is such ********. The media in DSM will be slobbering over Drake.

 

[TheCampanile]

i don't think people are scared but the fact our first opponent and possible second opponent are actually both closer to the location than a 2 seed is yeah...kinda ******* stupid.

Our first opponent is not closer, but point taken.

 

[cloneclone]

The South is sooo weak

 

[3TrueFans]

The idea that the committee doesn’t intentionally do this is *********.

This entire thing is only about money, which means they need eyeballs on tvs and storylines to sell, so yeah of course they do.

 

[Cydkar]

I don't see the problem. Play well = win.

 

[dahliaclone]

BYU is a terrible match for us.

But Illinois is a bad matchup for them. you're already saying they're in the Sweet 16?

 

[jsb]

Yeah, it's not that I'm scared of SDSU, WSU, or Drake - I'm not. But it doesn't make it any less of a slap in the face by the committee.

Right. It's just a lack of respect.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

The committee has to be sending a message about non conference strength of scheduling.

Most schools with a bad sos are being 1 seed line under rated

Which, **** them if that's what they're doing.

That's not what they're supposed to be doing. They shouldnt be picking a portion of the season and assigning it higher weight. Not to mention while simultaneously deciding the conference tournaments, some of the best matchups of the year, should hold almost no weight.

 

[gocy444]

Eh, we’ve had great draws in the past and didn’t do much with it. Line em up and play ball.

 

[Cyclones423]

What was the committee smoking?
