Selection Sunday Thread

[SU Nittany Tide]

I believe this is the first time since the tournament started seeding teams that the ACC doesn't have a team that's a 1, 2, or 3 seed.

Certainly would have to be a very long time at the least. Syracuse should have been replaced by a smaller school.

I'm not that upset about Syracuse being in the field but I have no idea how they avoided a play-in game.

However, it would be very on brand for Syracuse to make a deep run now.

I haven't really followed it that closely this year. i watched a healthy bit of the conference tournaments but not nearly as much as i usually do.

i watched bits and pieces of like 4 Wake Forest games this year.

That’s fair.

I think with the shortened OOC, the ACC, PAC, and Big East could be better than they look, to various degrees.
