Selection Show

[WTSooner]

I hate that they made their show longer, and they're going to draw this out. Loved how we usually knew all the teams within the first 15-20 minutes.

Hoping for a good draw for the Sooners.

It wasn't that long ago that we didn't even gather the team to watch the show because we knew we weren't going to be in. I'm just happy we have a vested interest instead of just being spectators.

Virginia over Michigan State as a #1 seed in the Midwest is a mild surprise. But Michigan State will be the #2 seed in that region.

So do we go out west, or do they want to try to set up at elite 8 rematch

That (MSU vs Virginia) would be a heck of a game.

Have to have time for Charles and Kenny to have circular arguments.

Yep....I think we are headed out West. We won't be in the South (Kansas) and I bet Nova is likely the #2 seed in the East.

Michigan States Resume

RPI 11
Top 50 wins 7
SOS 79
Lost at home to #168 Nebraska

Thats not a 1 seed resume

 

[stormspencer]

Cal as a 4-seed? They are a good team, but this tells me that the committee thinks the Pac 12 is the 2nd best conference this year.

 

[Max Power]

Wow, Nova went to the South

That loss to Nebraska and the Big 10 being a little down was probably the difference between them and Virginia.

 

[MsProudSooner]

No other Big XII teams in KU's bracket.

yea honestly, if you take names out of it, that resume is more like a 3 seed

 

[stormspencer]

Wow, Nova went to the South

I was thinking that they were going to put Kentucky as a 3 seed in the South....but the regional is in Louisville. And it would have been criminal to have a #3 seed playing a home game.

 

[WTSooner]

Fairly easy bracket for KU.

 

[tycat947]

Just hope we don't end up in UNC's region but being our luck, we probably will.

I agree that would have been criminal, maybe they thought the same thing about a 2 seed in their home two with Nova. Joe C knows that screws over a 1 seed from OU being a 1 in New York vs Melo and the Cuse.

 

[Max Power]

Just hope we don't end up in UNC's region but being our luck, we probably will.

That is the absolute worse scenario for us i think.. They kill people of the boards and we aren't a strong rebounding team

 

[Sooner95]

This is going to take forever....

 

[stormspencer]

I'm hoping for the West. Unfortunately for us, the #3 seed in our bracket is either going to be Kentucky or Xavier. Either of those will be tough Sweet 16 games. I was hoping for Miami as our #3 seed.
