Selection Sunday thread

Clemson also beat Kentucky who Louisville lost to. Clemson also beat Duke who beat Louisville 2x this year.

We beat you both times and finished ahead of you in the conference.

 

[boilerzz]

Don’t expect Purdue to reach the S16 the way we are playing right now but if we somehow do, we get to play in Indy. That doesn’t suck.

West Virginia and Boise got hosed.
WVU best wins against then ranked teams.
No. 3 Gonzaga
No. 24 Arizona
No. 7 Kansas
No. 2 Iowa St

Boise beat 6 tournament teams including a No. 4 seed

However, UNC got in with their best win being No. 18 UCLA. They also lost to Kansas who WVU beat. The B12 this year definitely was better than the ACC. Texas getting in with 15 losses is also kinda crazy.

West Virginia also lost to Pittsburgh by 24 and Louisivlle by 9. Boise lost to Boston College, who was 4-16 in the ACC.

Again, there is no good argument to be made for a team getting hosed. You can make an argument for any of these teams over another team. You can't say anyone was screwed though. None of them really deserve it.

Who’s the Chairman of the NCAA comm?

Oh, sorry, thought you wanted to know who your daddy was.

 

[AWilli6995]

They should. That’s the idea of the pods dumbass

There she goes, husband let your fairy ass out I see.

 

[AWilli6995]

Your dad

 

[ExitFlagger]

Kansas v Arkansas, lol. @ExitFlagger loves it.

I predicted it would be the draw. No surprise.

 

[SpartanJD]

Bilas just picked all 4 1 seeds to the Final 4 lol ok dude.

 

[Necessary Roughness]

Bilas just picked all 4 1 seeds to the Final 4 lol ok dude.

This feels like a year where two 1 seeds lose.

 

[boilerzz]

Every bubble team had mediocre resumes. Don’t want to get left out? Win more games!

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Michigan opens as only a 3.5 point favorite.

Wow

2.5 now

 

[Afamu]

Oh, sorry, thought you wanted to know who your daddy was.

🧹🧹🧹

 

[Afamu]

Your dad

He was. But since he passed last week, a new one is needed.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

I mean South Carolina went 2-16 in the SEC and is 2-0 against the ACC.l including beating Clemson

3-0. They had more wins against the ACC than they did the SEC.

 

[AWilli6995]

Since you need a new one, ask your "other dad"

 

[RR30]

Bilas just picked all 4 1 seeds to the Final 4 lol ok dude.

If I'm being honest, I could see it this year. Those 4 are a step above the rest of the country. Likely won't happen because it's March Madness, but...

 

[GhostOf301]

Will there be a thread the rest of the year where you queers don't turn it into SEC vs ACC?

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Bilas just picked all 4 1 seeds to the Final 4 lol ok dude.

His Elite EIght is all the 1s and 2s. Way to go out on a limb, Jay.

My last (maybe) comment on the Louisville screw job. How many teams ranked 13th at the end of the season, ended up being an 8 seed. It pays more to lose

The beauty of the tourney is that they get the chance to prove everyone wrong.

We were 21 in kenpom in 2017 and ended up an 8. We did beat the overall number 1 seed that year. I don’t remember if we were ranked in the polls.

Poll voters are really bad at using recency bias. The committee is supposed to ignore that completely and it appears they do.

 

[MGO2022]

West Virginia got bent over by the committee

 

[WeAreDePaul]

Btw, Louisville has to play a very good Creighton team just to get a shot at Auburn.

DePaul just took that Creighton team to double OT. That means they suck.

Bills has always loved chalk.

 

[UL_1986]

lol we got completely screwed. 8 seed my ass. Creighton is a tough first round game, and then if we win it’s Auburn? It is harder and harder to care about college basketball these days. Pitiful.

 

[duckboy33]

2.5 now

UCSD is 36th on KenPom, right between UConn and Creighton.

 

[dukedevilz]

How the **** is Louisville an 8 seed?

Wild to think going 18-2 in the ACC is basically analogous to going 8-10 in the SEC (Miss State) in the eyes of the committee.

 

[UL_1986]

How did clemson get a 5 seed and louisville an 8 seed?

NCAA hates us and now they’re not even hiding it. We should be a 5. Worst seeding bias against us ever tbh.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

West Virginia got bent over by the committee

They’re not used to being the ones being told to squeal like a pig.

Well that same committee thought unc belonged in which is even wilder

 

[dukedevilz]

I'm not disagreeing. 1-12 against Q1 doesn't deserve a spot. I would have gone with Indiana or West Virginia.

Clemson at a 5 seed is about right. Louisville at an 8 seed just feels a little low.

 

[DTP2]

Voting teams into the playoffs solidifies its #1 ranking as the dumbest idea in sports history.

Meanwhile Seth Davis is predicting Yale to the S16

Going to have to get better looking hookers.

At least ya'll play in Kentucky

 

[954gator]

South Carolina would have had a winning record against in the ACC. They are actually a decent team. Auburn only beat them by 3

We beat them by 1 on a buzzer beater at their place lmao
