The NCAA Tournament Thread

[hersheypa]

Pretty hard to escape the conclusion that there were some serious biases at play in the selection process. I don’t know what the “eye test” really is.. but so many of these teams don’t pass it

In their Region is one thing , playing what basically amounts to a home game is another thing. UConn is 2 hrs and 45 minutes from Brooklyn and not in the same State. Purdue’s campus is an hour from Indianapolis and it’s in the same State. Raleigh is even 20 miles closer to Charlotte than Storrs is to Brooklyn and it’s in the same state.

I think we agree but … if the Tournament was scheduled in Hartford instead of Brooklyn UCONN could and probably would be scheduled there if they were a 1 seed. They have been giving 1s Regional preference. It is what it is?

Duke v James Madison went exactly like you would expect Duke v James Madison to go.

And does the fact that Clemson is suing to leave the ACC make it ok to root for them? I really don’t like Baylor. Asking for a ruling LMF.

They also weren't a bubble team, so I vote yes.

ACC about to be 8-1 in Tourney.

Clemson looks good.

Hopefully Yale beats San Diego St

Can't belve I'm rooting for two Connecticut teams tonight.

Holy crap, Clemson is 3:25 away from having Brownell for another 20 years.

Can't belve it, but I'm rooting for two Connecticut teams tonight.

One fan base will change the world, the other will change your cows from standing to sprawled out on the ground.

Did I just jinx Clemson?

What is up with UConn? Unexpectedly struggling vs Northwestern, only up 17-4. Come on pick it up, and represent the BE!

Kidding of course.

The Mountain West was gifted 6 bids. 5 are already gone. Today the Mountain West Champs, Utah St. lost by 39 points.

Val and cronies at BE office are most likely struggling on how to effectively communicate this development to NCAA Committee.

You might have! But getting bailed out by Walter choking, which I guess you can't help as a freshman. 5/11 despite being an 82% shooter.

 

[nettles]

All kidding aside, Purdue is formidable! Facing them will be tough for UCONN.

 

[mjmaherjr]

It pains he to root for ACC but it’s real easy for me to root against Baylor #neverforgetricogathers

 

[MCNPA]

Northwestern. Another embarrassment. Gonna be 75-35 soon.

 

[sjc88]

Baylor a reported 3 seed was 10/18 from the free throw line. Free Throws still win games.

There's no way in hell we weren't one of the top 32-40 teams in the country.
