2014 Selection Show Discussion Thread

I am sure when Syracuse gets announced it will generate its own thread which is fine. Discuss National Matter and Syracuse here (if you choose.. I am not forcing anybody to do anything)

Overriding Themes

1. Where will Syracuse be ranked? 3 or 4. How much will the recent play and bad losses impact them,

2. Who is the fourth #1. Who was the third team they referenced this morning after Michigan and Duke. Was it Virginia, Louisville, or Wisconsin.

3. The "EYE TEST". Is it back in full force? Louisville, Virginia, Michigan St, Iowa St -- how much do the major conference champs benefit.

[jncuse]

Dont they usually annouce all the #1's first.

Bastards are going to make us wait.

 

[jncuse]

31-2 ... don't care who, Steve Austin is dangerous

 

[PoppyHart]

[jncuse]

Kansas a 2 seed. I guess the "EYE-TEST" does not apply to them.

 

[TDTOrange]

No Kansas - Wichita St matchup. Too bad

 

[Geode]

How a 9 loss KU gets a two seed?

 

[Trueblue25]

[TDTOrange]

[jncuse]

YES

 

[Trueblue25]

MAC HAHAHAHAHA

 

[Trueblue25]

YES

 

[jncuse]

They get cute with Ohio St / Dayton

 

[jncuse]

So far, no indications that they are really using the eye test.

 

[jncuse]

Like Kansas as the two seed, with Embiid out

 

[thebigeast44]

We're in the toughest bracket - don't need to see anything more.

 

[SouthernCuse]

Loaded region!
