*** SELECTION SUNDAY Thread ***

The B1G regular season champs are a 5 seed. The Big 12 6th place team is a 4 seed.

Bump

I'd have to guess a 3 was a strong possibility had we won one or two in KC. Glad the committee didn't read CF.

If we make it past Purdue I think we are an Elite 8 team. A Sweet 16 matchup likely means Virginia and teams that play as boring and slow as them won't handle a team like us very well. Purdue will be tough but I think we can get past them and now Virginia.

Only negative is the refs seem to favor West Virginia, MSU, Virginia, Wisconsin style teams in the NCAA's. Unless you are a super talented Blue Blood those styles are tough to get by in March.

Kansas will not steamroll UConn. Should be a tough test.

nobody would be talking about UCONN if not for the 4 OT game.

I think Purdue is a bad match up for us. We are going to get hammered on the boards. Fouls are going to be an issue.

Remember a couple of years ago, people said the exact thing about Notre Dame?

Those other schools you mentioned make Virginia look like snails on the court. There's a difference between slow it down style of offense and Virginia.

So can anyone explain how we got a 4 seed and Baylor got a 5? Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled we got the bump but it seems they should be a little bothered by that.

Purdue's bigs are quite a bit more talented than those stiffs.

So?

The committee this year was a joke

Nice to see ISU above Baylor and Texas.

We beat better teams and didn't have a bad loss. It really isn't that hard to figure out if you take away your bias against Iowa State.

Plus we have a good reputation now.

So?

KU won't be scared to play them or Colorado....KU seems to play like crap against the no name teams. If ISU can get past Purdue I think you guys could make the elite 8

They are STILL plodding and slow. Run their *** out of the gym! McKay's actual strengthmy friend

 

[Tre4ISU]

I'd say Saint Mary's should be ahead of both Monmouth and Valpo. They were regular season conference champs in a much better conference, and their only non-con loss was at a 4 seed.

If they hadn't lost to Gonzaga, they would have had 0 top 50 wins. I think Monmouth should be in over about 5 other teams.

When we played ND, when were running and gunning. This year it seems we've slowed the pace down

We will crush Purdon't. I love this potential match up.
