This USA Today article claims the committee overseeded the Orange

[orangecuse]

With our recent success as a 10 seed and an 11 seed, I would've had no issue whatsoever in being a 10. Hopefully, as an 8 seed, we stay in the tourney longer than we did in '99, when we lost in the first round to OSU.

Is that the newspaper they give everyone for free when they stay at a hotel? Enough said...

People still read the USA Today? I haven't read it since I was a teenager in the nineties.

Your giving him too much credit not sure he can write.

We can disagree with him about SU, but he makes some good points about some of the seeding and who got in.

I agree that St. John's had no business getting in over Greensboro.

 

[HakAttack]

Cincinnati is way under seeded.

It wouldn't be the week before the tournament tips without the Syracuse hatred flowing freely. The single most hated program in America. Has been since the turn of the century. Will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Oh well.

I think Duke is the most hated. Maybe we’re second?

If anyone was over seeded it's Louisville. Can't complain about us when we are better than Louisville yet they are a 7 seed

Kentucky is also up there with Duke. I think SU's basketball program is disliked in many media circles, but has a pretty strong national following among fans for a private university in Central NY. There are many posters on this board from outside the area with no real connection to the school.

Yeah by all media members who didn’t get into Newhouse.

Duke is hated but they get respect we don't.

I LOVED the one about ASU and how they pull a curtain at the last moment to reveal some kind of deranged tableau before opponents take their free throws. That is genius! And I respected what they had to say about us Orange fans: that we constantly complain about not getting respect. Truth.

I love you, br801. I always have, and I always will

Embrace the hate

Ha! That's easily the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me on this board.
