GAME Selection Sunday Thread 6pm ET CBS

[Deep Creek]

They don't give a shit about Sunday championships. Edit: never mind. That was a Saturday one.

I think A&M should have been in over Indiana. Lowest seeded SEC team is 6.

A&M and OU would have been headaches if they'd gotten in.

A&M and OU would have been headaches if they'd gotten in.

They'll cause headaches in the NIT, but that's another thread.

 

[Deep Creek]

Well, my Vols got screwed.

Same record as UK

2-1 vs. UK

Higher Strength of Schedule then UK

UK is a #2 seed and Tennessee a #3 seed. Go figure.

I think your Vols have a good shot.

 

[Kburjr]

They will remember the seed if they lose to #14 seed, lol...

They will, I won't. Hell, I don't remember the seeds of the winners. The only thing that matters now is survive and advance.

 

[Kburjr]

A little trivia...Rutgers beat all the other Big Ten teams in the tourney.

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

Someone posted this on VolNation:

Duke (2-seed):
NET - 13
KenPom - 12
SOS - 67
Q1 Wins - 6
Q2-4 Losses - 4

Tennessee (3-seed):
NET - 8
KenPom - 7
SOS - 4
Q1 Wins - 11
Q2-4 Losses - 0


Too be honest, we know what it is about, the name on the jersey and that is it. If a team like Alabama or Wake Forest had Duke or UK's record and performance, they would be behind Tennessee.

That's a different story compared to Kentucky though since you keep throwing them out there. Again, the argument is Duke and Villanova.

Probably because the big 10 isn't that good and shouldn't have nine teams in.

No, it was because they scored more points.

all three big ten bubble teams got the benefit of the doubt from the committee, lmao

Sour grapes

Sour grapes

how is it sour grapes? my team isn't the one that got screwed over. I'm just making an observation. Deal with it, boomer.

 

[rmilia1]

Where's @rmilia1 ?

Iowa getting a couple of picks to go FF.

Tempering expectations...

I think weve got an excellent shot to make the S16 as i dont think Richmond or Providence can hang with us if we play well

After that i like playing KU better than Zona or Zags but i wouldnt expect us to win

My apologies, kid

Two things can be true at the same time.

 

[Kburjr]

Two things can be true at the same time.

One is indisputably true, the other is an opinion.

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

One is indisputably true, the other is an opinion.

I don't see how the points thing is an opinion, but whatever.

[wildturkey]

top 10 KENPOM teams that didn't make it:

#30 Oklahoma
#37 Wake Forest
#39 Oklahoma St.
#43 Texas A&M
#44 Utah St.
#45 Miss St.
#50 North Texas
#51 BYU
#54 SMU
#55 Wash St.

The Committee should drop their asinine system and just use KenPom.

They'll cause headaches in the NIT, but that's another thread.

Actually usually the teams that get screwed out of NCAA come.out flat in NIT and lose it right away. They could buck the trend.

Actually, I think Kentucky is a better argument since we went 2-1 against them. We beat them on the court, twice.
