NCAA Breakdown & Matchups

But no Louisville or Notre
Dame so there’s that.

Total ACC bias. No way Syracuse at 8-10 should get in. I also don't think Oklahoma belongs.
 
Kansas, Duke, Michigan State & Auburn - tough region. Here's hoping Xavier is first #1 seed to go. I can't believe Tar Heels get to play opening rounds in Charlotte...

UNC and Duke play their first 2 games there every year . How does a 10 loss seed get a 2 seed? they have espn lobbying for them each and every game.
 
[quote="mjmaherjr" post=276377]Ughh Syracuse gets in[/quote]

Syracuse, Notre Dame, Louisville, UConn other teams normally in the “ show”
I could care less about.
Tinge of sadness watching because of course, SJU not in
:( :)

However I sense this to me next year we will have a reason to watch the selection

More ACC bias. Might as well play in Dean Dome.

Committee Chair actually said Notre Dame was next team out??? Why? They were 20-14 and were 8-10 in ACC. Finishing tied for 10th in ACC play. Its a joke.

It is time and staff has to know that.
 
Downside to being in such a great conference like the big east is the teams beat each other up all year and prevent higher seeding. As a result 4 of our 6 are locked into the dreaded 8/9/10 seeds and will have a rough matchup second round.

They played two years ago in the 2nd round.

Oklahoma lost 11 of there last 15. Bounced in the Opening Round of their Tournament and lost 2x to their in state rival who did not make the tourney. The NCAA is losing all credibility.

Does the committee watch any games during the season? Are they even college basketball fans? Maybe they are just tied to analytics.
 
[quote="Enright" post=276398]Okla got in because of their stellar football season.[/quote]

I think they got in due to their hot start, but mainly because of Trae Young. He's a heckuva player and, being a freshman, is a good story for the NCAA Tournament. It's somewhat of a "show."

Exactly. This was a bone tossed to CBS/TBS. A chance for increased ratings.
 
[quote="mjmaherjr" post=276377]Ughh Syracuse gets in[/quote] I wonder if he gets his reach around before or after the selection.
