Selection Sunday Chatter

There only three losses were to Xavier, Georgetown and Cuse. One of them in OT, by an average of 7 points per. They won 25 straight games, and haven't lost in 2009. Unless you want to invite them to the Big 12, or the SEC or something, don't blame them for playing in C-USA.

i somewhat agree, but with only four wins over the RPI top 50, it's tough to put them as a #1...it's not necessarily their fault...that's just how it is...

Arizona loses 5 of last 6 games and makes it in. Whats crazy is all the guys at ESPN can't believe they made it in but there all expecting them to upset #5 Utah

Okay, not enough wins is due to the conference they play in. I would like someone to tell these kids next year, right before opening night when they stand at 0-0..... "Hey boys, you have to go undefeated to be considered the best, the rest can lose 4 or 5 games, you have to lose ZERO if you want to be the best." Someone tell them that, and see what happens, because that is in fact the truth.

IMO Memphis and Uconn would meet no matter who was #1 or #2.It don't matter.Just go out there and play.Memphis will still be my pick to the final 4 out of that bracket no matter how there ranked.Memphis just might win it all

schedule duke, mich st., ucla, uconn, kansas...go 2-3 in those games and they get a #1...like i said, it's not the kids' fault...plus, seedings are almost irrelevant anyways...they can win it all as a #2...i almost like them better cause no one is talking about them as a #2...

My two cents:

1. St. Mary's got jobbed.

2. Siena beats Ohio State.

[mavskidd02]

Sd dt and st mary should have made it

syracuce a 3 seed ???



They have to get rid of this automatic bid bullshit

i would rather see really good mid - majors like:

St mary
sd st
creighton
ill st
new mex
unlv
weber st
old dom
tulsa


fuk the teams like :

Radford
morgan st
stephen austin
north dakota st
binghampton
chatanooga
east tenn st

these teams do not belong in there !!!!

Put the best 64 teams in there and fuk these schools that have no chance of getting out of the first round

Agreed. Tell me SFA deserved to make it over St. Mary's, tell me Moorehead St. (19-17 i think) deserved to make it over Creighton or SD St. You're telling Creighton, and St. Mary's that the reg season doesn't matter, because unless they win the conference, they can't get in. For teams like them, why play in the regular season?

and CBI

yeah, and that other thing!!!

Seeding matters, it really does IMO, everything is easier as 1. And as for that non-conf schedule you put, up if Memphis loses 3 games or more they AUTOMATICALLY can't get a one. That's what today has told us. Not arguing with you Mark, i actually see your point, its a valid one, I'm just venting about the bull shit that goes on.

i agree it's bullshit...auburn won 9 of their last 10, beat fla, lsu, tenn among others, but they couldn't get in cause their non-conference schedule sucked ass...they are the 1st team ever to win 10 in the SEC (they actually won 11 counting fla in the confo tourney) and not make the tourney...what the fuck am i feeling???

[insidethe8thpol]

What a fucking surprise that the North Carolina Cock Vitale Scrotum Scratchers and the Duke Shasheffsky Anal Dwellars get to stay home for the 500th fucking straight year

[MarkLemke]

the bitch of it all is that i just ran out of printer paper...i can't print out a f'n bracket!!!
