*** Official Selection Sunday Thread 2023 ***

Clark Kellogg has his hand under the table every time a BIG team is chosen. The idiot beside him wouldn’t know basketball if it hit him in the head. Bet against him all day.

The "idiot" beside him is Jay Wright. Former head coach of Villanova. Who's been to multiple final fours and has won a nation title. I think he knows a thing or two about basketball. The guy to his left...Seth Davis, is a moronic foolbrain.

That committee guy sounded like he hadn't watched a game all year.

 

[Althetuna]

Committee appearently doesn't think the Big 12 is a tough as NET implies.

 

[Beyerball]

If Iowa gets by Auburn (I think they will) they'll play Houston without their best player. Puke.

It is not known yet if Sasser is out...Sounds like the held him out today out of precaution..

 

[WastedTalent]

Their other big guy is injured, I think. Should help.

Yeah, he has been since end of January. They've played well since without him. Nunge is good. He can present matchup issues with his outside shooting.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Seth Davis going all anti chalk.

 

[NoCreativity]

NCAA committee chairman basically said OSU got penalized for not winning enough of their 18 quad 1 games. Meanwhile Nevada gets in only playing 9 and winning 4. Ok.

That's half of what he said, you didn't mention the 2nd half of his statement where he said they had too many losses in the non-conf and needed to beat someone better than DePaul.

 

[ABECyguy]

Yeah, he has been since end of January. They've played well since without him. Nunge is good. He can present matchup issues with his outside shooting.

At least we have a guy in Jaz that can matchup with Nunge

 

[CY88CE11]

No they didn't, they belong in the NIT. The committee guy summed it up perfectly. Maybe don't lose to Southern Illinois, Virginia Tech, and UCF in the non conf.

Other teams had worse losses.

Honestly I'd rather listen to the ESPN Kool-Aid drinkers than listen to Seth vomit his opinion - which is why I switched over.

 

[CydeofFries]

All of the explanation that they gave made it seem like they judged everything off of Q1+Q2 record. So if you played in the Big12, you got punished for losing even if they were Q1, while other conferences benefitted playing and being able to win a bunch of Q2 games

 

[NiceMarmot]

ISU was one spot behind Miami in the seed list (21 vs 20). One spot away from that ISU / Drake matchup so many people were fearing!

 

[Ctrans]

Did I say Kellogg is a moron.

 

[Clonefan32]

It is not known yet if Sasser is out...Sounds like the held him out today out of precaution..

Sasser will play. Plus give me Sampson outcoaching Fran all day.

 

[heitclone]

I love the round robin but no one seems to respect how tough it is, big 12 got shafted for beating each other up.

 

[Clonehomer]

Seth Davis going all anti chalk.

Why are you still watching CBS? ESPN is at least being realistic and willing to call a spade a spade. Mistakes were made and while they're not on the OSU love, they are criticizing the teams that were selected.

[Klubber]

TJ is a helluva coach. Lol.
I'm not saying they are mid major talent level. I'm saying they're built more like a mid major. No single highly talented player, or a few high scoring players that will outscore a team. They're a hard nosed, defense oriented team, that slows tempo and forces turnovers.

I think we all can agree TJ's a helluva coach.

 

[Clonefan32]

Once again, glad as hell to get that 6 seed. I want no part of any of those 12s.

 

[chuckd4735]

My only complaint is that our play in matchup is on Tuesday, and TCUs is on Wednesday. It should be the other way around.
