We just got hosed!!

Wouldn't mind playing Kentucky as much if it wasn't IN Kentucky.

Yeah, i understand why its done, but i hate that the NCAA gives preferential sites to the top seeds. Best seeds get the easy matchups already, let them travel. It gets a bit old seeing NC\Duke playing in North Carolina year after year after year.
 
UCONN wasn't a world beater this year, fellas. Plus the east coast media loves them, plus we've been recruiting otta there lately. If we can win, lots of folks are going to hear about it. Then...

We play the #1 team in the nation. What a great test for our guys. Once again, we'll get a **** ton of press from this match up. If we play them close or god helping, actually win, our program will get the respect that so may folks on this board wine, climb and chime for day-in-day-out.

If anything, we've got the NCAA Tourney monkey off our backs. **** it, let's just give this thing our best shot.

Being that we're the 8 seed in the region w/ the #1 overall seed, does that mean we were the "top" 8 seed or the "bottom" 8 seed? Or does that even matter

Worst. So we're basically the 32nd best team in the country I guess?

I really thought we could get a 7 seed, or at the very least the top one or two 8 seeds, but we were the worst of the 8 seeds.
 
I actually like the fact that most seem to think that we will lose... seems to me that ISU lays an egg when most think that the game is already won. I bet that Royce is extremely focused right about now.
 
This means we were the worst 8 seed too, correct? Since we face the best #1 seed if we win our first game.

We are ISU though, so I fully expected us to get screwed. But this is why you don't take the first round of the Big 12 tourney lightly, so we did it to ourselves.

I couldn't have imagined a tougher 9 seed to face than UCONN, and then to get Kentucky...... in Louisville.... it doesn't get tougher than that.

Oh well... if you want to win the whole dang thing, you gotta beat the best sometime.

We were better off being the 10th Seed....yeah WVU got a better deal..:shocked::shocked:

That's not how it works. It gets a little more complicated with the auto-qualifiers, gamesite, etc working in to the mix. They have to make it work for 68 teams, not just ISU. The #1 seeds are pretty much the only teams that have a written in right to preferential treatment.
 
I guess Royce will know pretty quick how he stacks up against NBA talent. 2 NBA stars on UCONN, and probably 5 or 6 of them on Kentucky.

I would rather play Uconn than So Miss, and Texas was an #11 seed, we were seeded about right IMO. Not sure what everyone is ******** about, we are IN, and playing and underacheiver in Uconn. Be happy.
 
Both teams are beatable, but ISU has to play their best and hope for some luck.
 
The Texas Loss Killed Us with the selection committee....


This is like Nightmare on Elm St and uconn is Freddie Kruger....


Looks like One and Done to me .....I think I just saw that in kansas City.

Go jump off a cliff. Now.

Uconn sucks this year. Calhoun is on his death bed.
