*** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

[CY88CE11]

So, the committee is saying the non- conference schedule is more important than the conference schedule, and the conference tournament is literally meaningless.

 

[Urbandale2013]

When you say that you look at the entire season overall and then say you say non-conference was a factor, then you are contradicting yourself. You are not looking at the season overall. You are putting more weight on one part of the season more than another.

Exactly Lets look at regular SOS and we have a top 30 SOS.

 

[Marcelason78]

Do we know what time we play Thursday?

 

[FerShizzle]

Iowa St was never even considered.

amazing that something that was a national story all day wasn't even on the committees radar. this selection process clearly needs to change.

 

[Rogue52]

**** the Committee.
**** Clark Kellogg.
And **** Drake.

 

[RezClone]

Good luck ISU, looking like i have no rooting interest so go cyclones!!!

Not any more. You've been drafted to serve temporarily in our ranks, Spartan.

 

[pourcyne]

Printable Bracket. SIAP

Thank you.

 

[jsb]

This is the kind of crap that will be annoying with Drake in the same bracket as us.

So, the committee is saying the non- conference schedule is more important than the conference schedule, and the conference tournament is literally meaningless.

It's the single most important metric apparently. Horse ****.

 

[NebrClone]

None of the games mattered this weekend according to the committee

Too lazy to redo any work in the tournaments.

 

[HoustonClone]

nah we are saying the same thing in different ways.

What is really concerning though is how on earth do we end up at 8th overall? the SOS deal is just pure BS.

Everyone grasping to the non conference as the only justification. It's a data point. But they are obviously weighting it much more heavily than warranted.

 

[CascadeClone]

Two loud and clear messages--

1) NCSOS really matters
2) Conference Tournaments don't matter at all

Don't sell short the name on the jersey. Brand must be one of the hidden components of NET.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

I doubt UConn is thrilled about it either.

I’ve never seen a bracket yet that looked like a cakewalk right off the bat, and I think this is as good of region as any.

Just saw that we were 8th overall. Must have been a clear 3 before winning this weekend, or the Big 12 tournament didn’t matter at all.

I don’t think there’s anyway those wins didn’t count. Not surprised they disrespect us though.

We earned the 2 with our play over the weekend, at least.

 

[RagingCloner]

It's a great day to be a Cyclone hater.

Already talked to a few Hoks, and they are barely able to contain their glee.

Lol they don’t know enough about college basketball to even have a reaction to this. They just see us pissed and want to be ******** about it

 

[FriendlySpartan]

Not any more. You've been drafted to serve temporarily in our ranks, Spartan.

Nah we’re gonna get obliterated by UNC, sparty has legit never beat them. So go cyclones!

 

[Die4Cy]

Kansas got a helluva nice path for a 4 seed.

Committee knows they aren't very deep this year.

 

[Texbudman]

Damn we were 8 overall. Now that’s an insult. TJ will have a hayday with that

TJ will definitely push the disrespect angle.

 

[Malone]

If anybody's looking for similar reaction, swing on by the UCONN board.

How about Duke? You picking them again? I need to assess.

[Cyclonepride]

Next year they’ll have to fabricate a different excuse to under seed us, which is nice

 

[Klubber]

We got shafted, pure and simple. City-slicker, media types simply don't like the Cyclones. Only one thing to do:

Just win, baby.

Media guys who really know hoops like us.

Seth Davis and Clark Kellogg are incapable of original analysis. They're just corporate hacks who always tow the company line. In this case carrying the water for the blue bloods and the most popular teams.
