NCAA Selection Thread***

[Collier11]

So far Houston has stolen a bid from someone by winning Conf Usa

[Collier11]

Minnesota has a chance tonight, although they are close to getting in without winning the conf tourney

Miss St is close to stealing a bid from someone if they pull off this upset

[Collier11]

Duke and Kentucky hold off upsets, GT and Miss St still on the bubble

[JLEW1818]

major choke by miss st

2 great games tho

[Eielson]

So far Houston has stolen a bid from someone by winning Conf Usa

I think Conference USA was bound to get two bids regardless.

[JLEW1818]

I'm pulling for the Htown boys!

[Eielson]

Minnesota has a chance tonight, although they are close to getting in without winning the conf tourney

I'd say they get in if they keep it close. They've been playing amazing these last four games. Beat Iowa by 35, beat Penn State by 21, beat #5 Purdue by 27, and beat #11 Michigan State in OT.

[Collier11]

Ohio state drubbing Minnesota, huh

[Newbomb Turk]

This year I don't have near the excitement for the selection show I normally have. Not sure why that is...

[JLEW1818]

so 2009 elite 8 match-up, North Carolina and OU, neither in the tourney the following year

[Collier11]

I always love the NCAA tourney but it is depressing that OU isnt in the tourney

[Collier11]

Here we go...

[JLEW1818]

just showed the highlight of Blake getting flipped over

[Collier11]

'One Shining Moment' gets gheyer and gheyer every yr I hear it

[Newbomb Turk]

oh yeah - that's probably the reason. :D

[Newbomb Turk]

'One Shining Moment' gets gheyer and gheyer every yr I hear it

it's bad enough they play it after the tournament is over - I don't really think we need it before the selection show too.

[Collier11]

Kansas #1 overall seed

Kentucky, Syracuse, and Duke the other #1 seeds

[JLEW1818]

Cuse got screwed
!

[Newbomb Turk]

should be playing the "body of work" drinking game.

[Collier11]

not really, as they just mentioned they are staying closer to home this way

[JLEW1818]

duke is gay

[Collier11]

not too late NB

I woulda put WV over Duke as a #1 seed but it really doesnt matter much

[JLEW1818]

i still think we can get a 16 seed

fingers crossed

[Collier11]

maybe we can get in the play in game

[JLEW1818]

htown 13 seed baby!

[JLEW1818]

Kansas will go to the final four, lock.

[Collier11]

Osu gets a 7 seed

Georgia Tech (bubble team) gets in

[Collier11]

Houston can beat Maryland IMO

[JLEW1818]

Htown!!

[Collier11]

osu vs gtech is a tough matchup to pick

[JLEW1818]

LT to the jets, fyi

[Eielson]

Ohio State got messed around. I thought they were on the verge of a #1, but got the lowest two seed and matched up in Kansas' bracket.

[Eielson]

Gonzaga an 8?

[JLEW1818]

West looking tough

[Newbomb Turk]

Ohio State got messed around. I thought they were on the verge of a #1, but got the lowest two seed and matched up in Kansas' bracket.

did I see correctly where they have and RPI in the 20's?

[JLEW1818]

Florida at 10 wtf?

[Collier11]

Utep (bubble team) gets in

OKC gets

Kstate vs N.Tex

Byu vs Florida (bubble team)

[tommieharris91]

Uhhh... if you're going to OKC to watch BYU/Florida, get in as many fights as you can.

[Collier11]

Minnesota gets in (bubble team)

[JLEW1818]

so, did Tebow help Florida's case?

[Eielson]

Minnesota is excited.

[tommieharris91]

did I see correctly where they have and RPI in the 20's?

Yep.

[JLEW1818]

west loaded

[Collier11]

Florida deserved to get in IMO but certainly not as a 10 seed

[SoonerShark]

In OKC, I am rooting for UNLV and North Texas. Blue and Purple make me puke. Don't sell your tickets to KU or KSU fans.

[JLEW1818]

miss st on suicide watch

[oumartin]

I'm sorry, is basketball season still going?

I totally forgot.

So, where is OU headed? :D

[Eielson]

did I see correctly where they have and RPI in the 20's?

Probably. Turner broke his back and missed 6 games. They lost three of those.

[JLEW1818]

martin, good to have you back.!

how long have u been back for? I've been busy

[Collier11]

I think I saw a state that Ohio state is 18-2 in their last 20...or something like that

[SoonerShark]

so, did Tebow help Florida's case?

Tebow will be walking up and down the canal in BrickTown walking across the surface of the water carrying blind children, that will soon have 20/20 vision.

[oumartin]

I've been around for a couple weeks. Not much to post about with the way this season has gone.

[Eielson]

miss st on suicide watch

Saying "at least they're locks for the NIT" has never sounded so good.

[tommieharris91]

Tebow will be walking up and down the canal in BrickTown walking across the surface of the water carrying blind children, that will soon have 20/20 vision.

The Mormons might get to those kids first.

[JLEW1818]

hahahahhaha horns gotta face wake, then kentucky

[Collier11]

some thug just grabbed his nuts on natl tv for E.Tenn st, nice

Tex a 8 seed and Wake (bubble team) gets in

[JLEW1818]

jeff van gundy has Houston and Cornell going to final 4

[Eielson]

I think I saw a state that Ohio state is 18-2 in their last 20...or something like that

12-1 in last 13, and 15-2 over last 17. 21-4 with Turner.

[oumartin]

Texas shouldn't have even gotten in. What are they in their last 10?

[Collier11]

why have cameras for the teams that know they are in...id only have cameras at the bubble teams

[JLEW1818]

still waiting on baylor and aggies

[Collier11]

MIzzou vs Clemson, intersting matchup

[JLEW1818]

missouri clem

tiger tiger

[tommieharris91]

still waiting on baylor and aggies

They'll both get in.

[Collier11]

they are locks Jlew, never fear

[tommieharris91]

Mizzou is an underseeded 10.

[JLEW1818]

i know , i just wanna see if they both get 5 or unders

[Eielson]

Richmond Spiders? What a name.

[Collier11]

what bubble teams we have left? Va tech, miss st, ND...anyone else?

[tommieharris91]

Richmond Spiders? What a name.

Proud Gonzo is pickin them to win the thing.

[Newbomb Turk]

Richmond Spiders? What a name.

I love the names of some of the smaller schools.

[JLEW1818]

I'll go for any big 12 team, cept texas

(in basketball)

[tommieharris91]

what bubble teams we have left? Va tech, miss st, ND...anyone else?

Cal, Illinois.

[Newbomb Turk]

martin, good to have you back.!

how long have u been back for? I've been busy

this place is better without him. Trust me.






















:D

[Collier11]

Atleast two of those arent getting in, maybe 3

[JLEW1818]

lol what did he do? was it something with LAS? if i remember

[Eielson]

Did our selection thread get 4 pages last year?

[Newbomb Turk]

lol what did he do? was it something with LAS? if i remember

I'm just messing with him. martin is a good dood.

[Collier11]

why wouldnt the play in game be for bubble teams, not auto qualifiers?


Cal gets in and Louisville

[JLEW1818]

cal/louie could upset duke

[Eielson]

A&M is a 5.

[Collier11]

Utah St gets in (bubble)

[Eielson]

cal/louie could upset duke

Gonzaga over Syracuse is my 8 over 1 pick.

[JLEW1818]

tamu really might go to the sweet 16

[Newbomb Turk]

why wouldnt the play in game be for bubble teams, not auto qualifiers?

cause some of the auto teams blow big time.

but I still like them in the tourney.

[Eielson]

Baylor a 3!

[JLEW1818]

go bears!

[Collier11]

I know but they earned it while the others didnt

And Eilson, Zags may lose in the 1st rd

ND gets in

[Newbomb Turk]

Baylor "swept Oklahoma and Texas". Congrats on that monumental accomplishment. :rolleyes:

[Eielson]

tamu really might go to the sweet 16

Yeah. Hummel is hurt. :(

[tommieharris91]

I like Baylor's draw and their team.

[JLEW1818]

alright somebody set up a bracket challenge, lets get this ****ing show on the road

[Eielson]

And Eilson, Zags may lose in the 1st rd

Well, yeah. Same can be said for all 8 seeds.

[tommieharris91]

Yeah. Hummel is hurt. :(

This makes me feel good about picking Siena. Anyway, I'll be back later. I'ma grill me some meat.

[JLEW1818]

Yeah. Hummel is hurt. :(

Purdue scores a bunch of points... :rolleyes: :D

[JLEW1818]

f it, i'm going for the Bears, out of the big12

[Collier11]

Id say the committee did a pretty good job this year, Miss st had a gripe but other than that id say it is pretty fair

[Eielson]

Baylor "swept Oklahoma and Texas". Congrats on that monumental accomplishment. :rolleyes:

Next year, after Udoh graduates, Baylor will likely get swept.

[Collier11]

Well, yeah. Same can be said for all 8 seeds.

True but im speaking specifically of their matchup, bad matchup for them IMO

[Eielson]

Purdue scores a bunch of points... :rolleyes: :D

They play a bunch of defense.

[Collier11]

but, but, we need 96 teams (stupid)

[Eielson]

but, but, we need 96 teams (stupid)

OU's RPI was 100 a few days ago!

[Collier11]

damn, so close

[SicEmBaylor]

Next year, after Udoh graduates, Baylor will likely get swept.

Yes, because the possibility that we have or are going to recruit a player as good is just beyond the realm of reality.

[Collier11]

The change in Baylor is less to do with Udoh and more to do with switching to a zone

[Eielson]

Yes, because the possibility that we have or are going to recruit a player as good is just beyond the realm of reality.

Of course. When is the last time you guys signed a good big man?

[Eielson]

The change in Baylor is less to do with Udoh and more to do with switching to a zone

I don't think so.

[silverwheels]

So Tennessee was dropped to a 6 even though they have a higher RPI than any of the 4 seeds and they beat the top 2 seeds, and Duke is the 3rd 1 and they get the easiest region. Doesn't make sense. Hopefully they get upset early.

[Eielson]

Of course. When is the last time you guys signed a good big man?

Oh, I get it.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/basketball/recruiting/player-Perry-Jones-65889;_ylt=AvTtSluWMREFtMoLdpe5C1xGPZB4

I still say you guys have a losing record to Texas/Oklahoma.

[Eielson]

it's bad enough they play it after the tournament is over - I don't really think we need it before the selection show too.

..and after the selection show.

[Collier11]

I don't think so.

thats funny cus ive heard HOF coaches say as much on natl tv but since you know everything I guess you are right

[Eielson]

thats funny cus ive heard HOF coaches say as much on natl tv but since you know everything I guess you are right

These HOF coaches probably don't value defense and rebounding, though.

[JLEW1818]

dammit i was hoping we would get a 16 seed





:D

[Collier11]

These HOF coaches probably don't value defense and rebounding, though.

all I know is they switched their D before the conf tourney last year and since then 38-8 I believe

[ndpruitt03]

The Bears got a hell of a draw. They play the Sweet 16/Elite 8 games in Houston against the weakest 2 and the weakest 1.

[SoonerShark]

The Mormons might get to those kids first.

Actually, they will recruit the young females as polygamist mates for the 50+ year old members of the cult.

[SoonerShark]

OU's RPI was 100 a few days ago!

We need 128 teams then.

[SoonerShark]

A&M and Baylor are the teams to root for this year. Of course, it might be wise to stomp them out while they enjoy their brief moment in the sun.

[Newbomb Turk]

Baylor "swept Oklahoma and Texas". Congrats on that monumental accomplishment. :rolleyes:

neg spek from sicem.

sweet! :D

[Eielson]

We need 128 teams then.

They might look favorable on us for our...um...

[SoonerJack]

'One Shining Moment' gets gheyer and gheyer every yr I hear it

^
This

[birddog]

dammit i was hoping we would get a 16 seed





:D

we seriously got screwed. i can't even fill out my brackets now. well, maybe 4 er 5.

i'll be prank calling various members of the selection committee over my displeasure at this blatant bias against our 80's computer generated logo that ultimately kept us from the "tournament".

[NormanPride]

Baylor has a legit shot at a final four with their draw. Kansas got f-ed in the a with theirs and Duke, yet again, must have dirty pictures of the selection committee. Pac 10 will be gone after the first round.

[badger]

btw... so sorry if this was already brought up in one of the earlier pages... did anyone start an SF.com bracket group anywhere?

EDIT: Click here (http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/group?groupID=73329)

[Eielson]

Who else thinks picking a winner from the right side of the bracket is scary?

[CowboyMRW]

Of course. When is the last time you guys signed a good big man?

Didn't Baylor just sign the number 1 big man in the nation and 3 overall from duncanville. Perry something

[Collier11]

Eilson just talks, he doesnt think
