*** SELECTION SUNDAY Thread ***

[CoKane]

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.

We had 3 more top 50 win and a better SOS

With A&M and MSU or UVA joining them in the final 4

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.

Monmouth didn't get it done in the league play. The wins against Georgetown and UCLA weren't that good either.

Seth Davis picks Iona over Iowa State as a potential upset

After last year im just taking it all in

 

[Tre4ISU]

Has CSP sent the memo yet to the guys about not going blonde with their tips?

I was actually thinking they should do it again just so I can watch the fanbase have a **** fit about it.

 

[CycloneErik]

Survive, advance, and enjoy. This is the good stuff now.

Someone from Iowa Stare stole his girlfriend. Only explanation for the huge chip he has on his shoulder for us.

 

[Doc]

Haha, Calipari makes some good points. It does seem like they pick the bubble teams they want and then figure out what metric fits that team best.

Tulsa beat no one. They are the obvious one.

How so? He has been fair to us all year.

Calipari ******** about his seed to the ESPN crew. ESPN crew slobbering his knob.

Seth is a bball purist. He doesn't like teams that spread out the floor with shooters and drive the lane. He likes the pack them in bruiser ball with scores in the 50's. He thinks the 3pt line is an abomination.

Is it safe to assume that if we play Michigan State eventually it isn't in the state of Michigan or will they move the games just for Izzo? Still traumatized after 16 years.

Chicago, so the United Center would be packed with Spartans and Cyclones.
Hmmmm, Friday and Sunday bracket. That would be wild if we get there.

Turned it over to ESPN just in time to have ESPN start talking to, who else, John Calipari. He starts ******** about his seed and ESPN just kissing his ***. I turn the channel for 8 minutes. Come back, they are still talking with that sleazeball. Oh and now they are talking to Jim Boeheim. I really wish some other network would create their own 24 hour sports network to compete with ESPN. It wouldn't take long for people to quit watching this **** network. I'm now turning the channel. I just want some basketball talk. Not ESPN slob fest of big name schools/coaches.

You have both FS1 and CBSSN - ESPN kicks both of their arses (unfortunately).

 

[cyclones500]

I stand corrected (in a good way!) -- I mistook their 1-seed reveal, though UNC was 1 & KU 2. I actually did have that correct.

After that point, however...:smile: different story!

They are not trying to compete with ESPN. CBSSN is also a pay for channel. Not a channel that is given with every television package.

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

You are wrong. ND averaged only 70 pts per game and had a front line crew all over 6'10" plus Cooley at 6'9" and two others at least 6'8"

All the talk before that game was about how they were going to out muscle us and beat us up and outrebound us
