OT - NCAA Selection Thread

[Anima]

Arizonia has already made it. I know a lot of people are already pissed about them making, a lot more might get upset depending on who they knocked out.

 

[Денг Гордон]

Why did they give Kansas a free rid to the Final Four?

 

[BasX]

I think we can take Mich St. but since the Jayhawks are young, it'll be tough.

 

[La Bomba]

Memphis got ranked fairly. We're going to win the National Championship no matter what anyway.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Holy shit, did Washington get lucky. Practically a home game.

 

[BasX]

Omg, I want a Memphis-Mizzou game. Man do I want that.

 

[La Bomba]

I want a Mempis-Uconn game with Memphis winning.

Why do you want to see Memphis-Mizzou so bad?

Well first it'd be a Sloth-La Bomba game
and it is two fast teams.

What do you mean a free ride? They have to go up against some of the most physical teams in the tourney in order to make it to the final four.

 

[Anima]

A&M made it with a pretty good seed even though they choked in the Big XII tourney

OSU makes it too, so far that's 4 Big XII teams that are in.

 

[Anima]

How did get Wisconsin get in?

 

[Anima]

Anyway catch who Portland State is playing?

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Portland State vs. Xavier. That's a winnable game.

 

[La Bomba]

Well first it'd be a Sloth-La Bomba game
and it is two fast teams.

Memphis isn't really a fast team anymore. Not as much as last year anymore. We are a lot more defensive minded and play a lot of "grind-it-out" basketball lately

 

[Anima]

Texas is in, that's five teams from the Big XII and one more bracket to go

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Cool to see Portland State get a 13th seed.
Washington Husky fans have got to be happy they get to play at the RG.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Whats with all of these pseudo home games?

 

[La Bomba]

I don't see how Wisconsin got in.

 

[Anima]

Butler Vs. LSU should be a fun game. I can see Butler getting the "upset."

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Gonzaga also here in Portland. WOW!

 

[BalancedMan]

Whats with all of these pseudo home games?

It's the prize for being a good team. The site is "neutral" but clearly it's advantageous to the lower seeds...most of the time.

 

[Anima]

OU is officially in, that makes six teams from the Big XII.

Mich. is in, does this mean that Penn State is out?

 

[Anima]

Wisconsin and AU in instead of St. Mary's and Penn State? What a fucking joke.

 

[ehizzy3]

Whats with all of these pseudo home games?

its been like that...

xavier is good, they are one of my sleepers. i wish psu woulda got a diff match up..did anyone catch if its on a thursday or friday?

 

[Anima]

I forgot about San Diego State, I can't believe that didn't make it either.

 

[Anima]

[The Professional Fan]

Now I have to find a way to get in the RG for the U-dub game. That is awesome!

 

[PapaG]

Whats with all of these pseudo home games?

If you are a top 4 seed in a region, you will be placed as near home as possible based on the seed. I'm surprised that Gonzaga is coming to Portland instead of being placed in Boise. Seems like a gift from the NCAA to Portland there.

 

[PapaG]

Great draw for Portland State. A #13 seed and they get to play in Boise against a Xavier team with literally no national following. Should be a heavily pro-PSU crowd.

 

[tlongII]

What a great day for Portland State. A #13 seed! Who woulda thunk it?
