Tourney Selection Show Observations

[jncuse]

Dayton earned an at-large without a play in. I had them as a clean 9 seed.

With Boise St in, Texas, Indiana in... it now seems like its coming down to BYU or Ole Miss for that final spot... or a sleeper like Old Dominion to knock them both out... looks like my sleeper pick is a bust.

Chris I don't know if you did a full bracket or stopped at 8, but once you got to the 9-play in games it was like picking out of a hat.

I had Purdue as a play in, but I can also see why someone had them as a 9 -- there was so little separation at the bottom of the at large pool.

I did 1 bracket and had purdue as 11 but not play in

Nova loses 2nd round

 

[CU44SE]

whens the last tournament Duke didn't play in NC?

 

[jncuse]

They can't meet until the Regional Finals.

No but the top 3 teams in each conference have to be in a different region. That's the fist fundamental rule of making the bracket. It just means that someone in the Big East is seeder higher than I expected.

 

[Alsacs]

NCAA taking care of Duke. Why the hell is St. John's in Duke's potential 2nd round matchups. They just played in MSG and Obepka is suspended.

 

[jekelish]

Wait...did they abandon the thing about how you're not allowed to play someone you already played in the regular season early in the tournament?

Because...Duke already played St. John's this year. Sooo...?

 

[SWFLCUSE]

Georgetown as a 4?!?!?

 

[NKR1978]

So Eastern Washington will be the next double digit seed to beat Georgetown.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Gtown as a 4? What?

 

[jncuse]

Georgetown as a 4 seed .

LOL


That answers why Providence could be in the same region as Villanova.

 

[jekelish]

Stephen . Austin will beat Utah and Georgetown. Book it.

AND OF COURSE Duke gets Gonzaga. Of course.

 

[Alsacs]

My god Duke is getting takin care of Georgetown as a 4? What and Gonzaga as their 2.

 

[WaHoos4Me]

Is it me or did Duke just get the cakewalk of the regions???

 

[Alsacs]

The committee is loving the Big Ten and Big East. Jeebus. Iowa over Gonzaga my upset.

 

[SWFLCUSE]

UCLA got in???

 

[OrangeXtreme]

UCLA?

 

[jekelish]

How does UAB, at 19-15, get a 14-seed? Isn't 19-15, at best, a 15?

And what!? UCLA is an 11 seed!? Holy crap.

 

[NineOneSeven]

This bubble is so bad

 

[jncuse]

Wow UCLA gets in... that is surprising. I gave them a look over yesterday, and passed.

 

[NKR1978]

Iowa State as Duke's 3 is tough. I love how they play.

 

[MSOrange]

UCLA??? They should be playing in Dayton at best - and that's even a stretch.

 

[CU44SE]

how does UCLA not get a play in game let alone being in. One top 100 win? you must be joking

 

[Kevind13]

4 letters. UCLA

 

[Alsacs]

UCLA over Miami( Fl) What. Greg Gumbel already let it slip North Florida was the only team from FL. That is a joke.
