Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 62639, member: 716"] I'll tell you what, the luck comes into play sooner than the Sweet Sixteen. If the Selection Committee pulls a fast one again this year and has us meeting another Big East team who's beaten us already - say, Louisville this year (yeah, they're ranked highly now; that doesn't mean they won't be a 10 seed in March) - we're in for a world of disappointment. That's the great unspoken disappointment within last season's disappointment (actually, I give credit for everyone else for not harping on this fact as I do): we got jobbed by being placed with another league team in the sub-regional. I agree with the sentiment that to be the best we need to beat the best, but the Selection Committee unnecessarily added a degree of difficulty. I hope that doesn't happen - to us or to anyone else. We get two months to see how we fare against Big East teams. No reason to throw us together again for the first weekend of the tournament. [/QUOTE]
