2026 NCAA Selection Show Discussion / Rants

[CooperCuse]

If Siena beats Duke, Gerry is the new coach. Agreed?

 

[Starman]

Just said that i another board. Need to put a bunch of Orange in the stands and loudly root for Hodgson.

How about a let's go Orange chant at a USF Lville game? No wonder other fans hate us. I love it.

 

[Briancuse]

Purdue finishs 7th in the big ten and gets a 2 seed. I guess today's game did matter.

 

[phreddie]

My take is they made Zona the #1 overall, not dook

Arkansas didn’t garner the same level of respect apparently.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Of Duke?

 

[Jake]

Ncstate playin game could be bad news for SMU.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Ncstate playin game could be bad news for SMU.

We knocked them out by losing to them?

 

[HyattsCuse]

USF has a shot versus Louisville.

 

[bpo57]

Early lines: USF + 6; Siena + 27

 

[nocohalo]

The selection show is no longer the same. Magic and aura is gone, for obvious reasons.

 

[rocfan44]

Arkansas didn’t garner the same level of respect apparently.

Not at all. Purdue is the most suspect two.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

If Siena beats Duke, Gerry is the new coach. Agreed?

If my aunt grows a (appendage), she's my uncle. Agreed?

The play-in winner of Texas/NC State is getting hosed, play Tuesday night and then have to fly out to Portland to play on Thursday. I get it, they will charter out to Portland but still. The tournament committee is an absolute disaster.

 

[jncuse]

Had to pause and a little behind as they get through the West Region

This year they finally made the BIG tournament results actually count. They often don't.

Missouri in, Texas In, NC St with a play in, which might be a problem for SMU

Now my TV won't fast forward through the commercials. So I'm about 5 minutes behind in my comments

11 seed SMU is my sleeper Sweet 16 pick. Boopie is a fantastic lead guard and they have those tough bigs inside.

Having put together the puzzle for brackets for many years, the puzzle is not easy for 11 seeds, and Tuesday/Thursday games. I'll give them a semi-pass on this one,

 

[Toga]

We were the 38th team out.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

We were the 38th team out.

112 team bracket !!

 

[CooperCuse]

Is her name Michelle?

 

[Orangefan1]

SMU play in game

 

[Dinkyspond]

I guess we'll find out real quick if Siena's Doty, Shoate and the Francis guy can compete vs. ACC competition

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

Is her name Michelle?

Sir, this is a Wendy's; not 4chan.

 

[jncuse]

Midwest Region

Miami gets in. Wally had mentioned it earlier (he actually provided some insights compared to Seth) that they had a strong WAB, which apparently the committee may have empasized more this year... it was a new metric they picked up last year (comes from Barttorvik)

Santa Clara, Miami, SMU in. Tourney field went per consensus - same as Matrix. Consensus was pretty strong this year.
