*** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

I don’t. I looked over their schedule. Lots of close games. Resume isn’t great. But neither is Iowas. Going to come down to who plays harder. I think Iowa gets by them.

Please take the Iowa simping to the Hok thread.

When/where do they announce tipoff times?

Looking at going to STL. Sunday for sure, but Friday is what I'm most wondering about for ISU/Tennessee Tech

First Four (Tuesday/Wednesday) will come out shortly -- believe it's usually the 16s first each night, followed by the 11s.

First Round (Thursday/Friday) later tonight.

Second Round (Saturday) after Thursday games finish.
Second Round (Sunday) after Friday games finish.

So committee chair said Arizona winning and Mich losing flipped them.

Also, Purdue moved from 11 to 8 from winning the tourny

yea with the logic of the committee you would have had to put us on a 1 seed if we had won the B12 Tourney

Pearl was giving the talking points from Auburn. He shouldn’t be allowed to comment.

Tough to watch this with Pearl and Kellog

UK -> VA -> UM -> First final four in my life. I will take that path. Doable, but gotta earn it.

We need to bury the idea that conf tournaments don't matter. They clearly did this year.

H

but it's gonna be Santa Clara not UK

tenn state turns the ball.over 12 times per game. Salivating.

But..they also force 14 pg so that's a but scary

huh?

Did they say it's the school's first tourney in a long time? I kinda hate that as a thing.

ISU's patience will be crucial like normal.

 

[fsanford]

So, this guy says tournament games DO matter. Maybe it's only on even numbered years?

NOrmally it is not. But clearly the criteria has changed

 

[chuckd4735]

Purdue moved from #11 to #8 from beating Michigan is ridiculous

They jumped Gonzaga, Illinois and Michigan State. Those 3 were so close to begin with.

Nobody gives a **** about Iowa and their eventual first round loss.

Hands faster than brain on that one.

 

[clone37]

SEC almost got 12 teams in?

 

[Texbudman]

Did Clark Kellog really say Houston could be a dangerous team? As a 2 seed? No s**t Sherlock

 

[CYedUp]

SEC almost got 12 teams in?

I think it was 10

 

[BryceC]

ACC got as many teams in as the Big 12. What a joke.

When you look at the teams that made it I think it makes sense.

 

[bos]

SEC POWER

 

[Kinch]

Sec had 10 but they had the majority of bubble and low seeds.

 

[OrangeCarrot]

So this is the break through year, right?

What? He played at St. Mary's.

Ehh, easy mistake. They’re two Catholic schools in the WCC that are ~50 miles apart.
